I've been using the PoCo Firewire for about 1 year now. I only use the plugs during mixing (not tracking). They've opened up a lot more processing power for me than strictly native. Sometimes I re-record processed tracks so I can free up the processing for other uses. I tried the Waves plugs, but di...

My "go to" reverbs are Altiverb (I use the Tracking Studio IR for strings and brass, Cellos Studios IR for general ambiance, chambers for old school, Lexicon 960 IRs for special uses) and the Powercore DVR2 for vocals and overall shimmer.

I record in a very dry (dead) environment and like to use the Cello studio IRs to add studio tracking ambiance and then select a second Altiverb instance for the actual reverb. I particularly like the Lexicon 960L IRs, the Cello St...

I just purchased the NDB (Notre Dame de Budapest) pipe organ library for Giga with the intent to import the sample to MachV. I found out the hard way that MachV's UVIEXTRACT can't import Giga 3.0 format files. It can only handle 2.0 format files. Looks to me like all the newer and better Giga librar...

I'm working on a production that needs a quiet, meditative pipe organ (a recording of "The Lord's Prayer"). I was looking forward to the release of the Peter Ewer's Pipe Organ library from soundsonline.com, but now it looks like that library may not be available (for a while? ever?). Any s...
