DP & Trilogy - Giving up

Post by anamorphic »

DP6 is awesome and smooth as silk on my MacPro. So is Stylus/RMX; but Trilogy continues to be a problem. I'm ready to give up on the "wrappers" and extra apps and find a new Bass plug-in.

Any suggestions?

There isn't any info on Spectrasonic's site that the wrappers are DP6 compatible, maybe there's an update coming up.

Honestly, I like the program, but Trilogy has been spotty on my Intel Mac and I'm tired of waiting for a solution. I can at least give another plug-in a try while I wait for a Trilogy update.

Spectrsonics has Omnisphere coming out in September to replace Atmosphere, and have also promised to replace Trilogy. Both, I assume should be OK with DP 6.

I have no problems using both programs on DP 5.13 on a PPC Mac.

Peace

I agree. I can get it to work but I don't feel confident with it running so I'll quickly print the track. I also play bass so I don't rely on it as much as Atmosphere. It works fine in Logic 8 and works better in DP 5.13. I'd be inclined to do tracks in DP 5.13, print and then open in dp6. What's comparable, anyone know? And by comparable I mean has acoustic basses, fretless, electric and electronic synth basses?

That is the problem....at least for me. I love the bass sounds in Trilogy and have not been able to part with the plug. That is why I am still using a PPC G5 and DP 5.13. I have always been a slow upgrade person anyway!

Basis samples sound good, but it seems its offering alot of effects more than say articulation.
I have Scarbee RedBass, so I been rather satisfied for regular ol' elect bass, even Pettingtonhouse's free DI bass is rather good.

Fretless bass is very seldom sampled instrument it seems. Manybass has a new fretless module. I have't checked out the samples yet though. They also have libs of acoustic bass in Kontakt format. But their demos are kinda lame.

I 've been searching for a good acoustic bass lib too. VSl seems to have a nice "standup bass" module, though it may be more for small ensembles type stuff than anything else.

The factory acoustic bass that comes with mach V 2 is comparable. In fact, personally speaking I think it's a little grittier than the trilogy acoustic - which I like.
