AWESOME!

Post by MIDI Life Crisis »

OK, I'm usually among the first to bitch about stuff not working - especially in production. But I've started really pushing MachFive ver 2 pretty much for the first time in a few years and I just have to say...

WHOA!!!

Sample looping and patch construction couldn't be easier. The only real issue I have is that the "dropped samples" folder could use a maintenance routine of some sort. I can't tell which samples are used and which are discarded old ones. M5 creates folders for the patches, but if I delete samples outside of those patch folders, it will sometimes crash M5 and DP. Other times, not. So I've got a bit of folder bloat going on and guess I should read the manual.

But the point is that M5 is truly awesome for my design work. Pitch shifting sounds is so much cleaner in M5 than in the Spectral plug in that DP has, which always adds artifacts.

Back to the fun...

I totally agree. I don't need it much at the moment, but I always enjoy getting into it. When I do, I can usually count on the sun coming up next morning on me still puttering away in Mv.2!

Between that, Proverb and a massive sound fx library I could do this all day! Oh wait, I DO do this all day. At least this week. :) Just love to pitch shift... :)
