I cant find IK multimidia Modo Drums and Sampletank on my plugins list on pro tools

I have bought and installed both plugins but it doesnt show up on my plugins list even tho it is on the avid/plugins folder. I tried downloading it again but it still does not show up. But when I open it on Reaper it works normally so the problem is probably with pro tools

(Im using pro tools on windowns, so its not the M1 chip problem)

What are good "orchestral percussion", epic sounding, overprocessed vst plugins?

Looking for smth as in topic name. Would be great if that kind of plugin had good built-in sequences/presets of different rhthms of those drums. And am looking for those processed epic sounding thumps and drums, wide, compressed, etc. I plan to use those epic drums in electronic dance music compositions

Here is an example use, timestamped piece Airwave "Tigris and Euphrates", hear the drums:

https://youtu.be/Lj5F3v0EshY?si=S4rui_lBAmKGL91A&t=119

ofc i can format and process everything myself, i want smth ready-to-use, big sounding already coz I'm looking to complement the writing/creative process

thank you for ur suggestions!!1

Romanian Carpatianhorn VST?

I am working on a soundtrack that I imagined having a specific Romanian instrument in it, called a Carpatianhorn / bucium. Any clue if a VST plugin for this exists at all? I couldn't find anything on the internet other than the Romanian Nai Woodwind, and that's not exactly what I'm going for.

Questions about your plugin preferences

I'm taking a quick survey of music producers and film/game scorers to figure out which features matter most to you. I'd love your insight and feedback: https://forms.gle/r79pjfCP2RxzPjo39

Best string phrase library you have used?

I have a soft spot for string or orchestral phrase libraries. I like to layer them and let them run on their own underneath. I have been looking at Crow Hill String gestures and it sounds wonderful

Suggestions for Vocoders/Pitch Correctors (question)

Hey all!

not sure if this is the right place for this, but recently I "bought" an antares vocoder for 157 dollars, long story short, it isn't anywhere on my laptop and antares is useless trying to help me get the product I paid for. After reading some stuff online, many other people have also gotten scammed by antares. So, now in the spirit of not getting horribly ripped off again, does anyone have a suggestion for a good vocoder and or pitch correction plugin, something that's capable of some really wacky and varied stuff, and perhaps some pitch correction as well? Either pirated or bought (as long as it's from a solid and reliable source).

A point to a quality product would be so so appreciated! Thank you!

Humanoid vs Manipulator

What are the differences between Baby Audio Humanoid and Polyverse Manipulator in terms of 1) sound quality; 2) extreme effects / weirdness; 3) vocoding/MIDI response; 4) transparency of plain formant/pitch shifting; 5) live use ?

Any plugins for creative and mangling .wav sample manipulation for FX or soundscapes?

Not just with adding reverb or echoes or time stretching, but something that can take my field recordings and really just mess them up in creative and alien ways, anything from tranquil to violent, to planetary or sci-fi sounds. Anyone have anything that may come close at least to this idea? I am choosing to not have to rely in a DAW as much anymore but rather a plugin seperate for this task. This way I can tinker and exist with live play and simple recording if I want rather than constructing exhaustively in a DAW with a complex chain.

Task: Id like to make alien fauna, landscape, soundscapes, ambient tones and washes, etc. from my field recordings.

Thanks!

Voxengo Suspends Sales

Received this email earlier this evening:


October 7, 2024

Dear Voxengo customers,

With a regret, Voxengo has to suspend international sales for an undefined period of time, starting October 15th, 2024. 2Checkout, Inc., a payment company I was doing business with since 2006, has scheduled cancellation of the contract, most probably due to recent US sanctions targeting Russian IT sector.

Unfortunately, all payment processing companies similar to 2Checkout are not accepting Russian businesses already since 2022. But I will be looking for a solution to this situation. Sales in rubles, to customers having Russian bank cards, will continue without interruption.

Kind regards,

Aleksey Vaneev at Voxengo

These Damn Installers - Bass Fingers

**Forewarning - have slow internet** So I decided to purchases Bass Fingers from Wave Central and im not gonna lie. Im gettin so sick of all these different types of installers. After starting the download from the Wave installer for Bass Fingers it first displayed that the plugin is 2.06 GB. Fast forward 1-2 hours and its 3.67/2.06GB - STILL going AND the loading percentage does not* move. Has anyone had experience with this plugin or plugins from Wave central? How many damn GBs is this thing?

Does there exist any plugin that remap only the frequencies I want it to?

I had thought about this when I was learning what a waveshaper can do. And this is the way I imagine how it could be; have all the input frequencies on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis I can remap them with a curve (like that line a waveshaper has). One more thing, though; I don't know if anybody has anything in their mind that can also be dynamic in the sense of pitch-tracking and shifting at the same time (always along the lines of a waveshaper).

Thank you for your time !

phil speiser "the_balance"

What is going on with this thing? Is it AI recreating a sound from a sample and applying that to your midi notes? That seems like magical thinking, right?

Are his plugins worthwhile normally? Hard to get a read on what’s legitimate praise and what’s possibly marketing.

Interfaces seem intuitive enough, to me at least. Are his plugs buggy or gimmicky?

I got something from him a while back, next to free, and I never use it; but because of that I’m on his email list and can’t find a link. I guess it’s a prerelease.

Does anyone have this yet?

What do you think are the real advantages of using a multiband compressor compared to a good dynamic EQ?

A good dynamic EQ has the same attack and release settings, doesn’t create crossovers, can have overlapping points, and can also perform expansion...

Do you see any areas where a multiband compressor cannot be replaced by the proper use of a good dynamic EQ?

Plugin like the "Spreader" in Logic?

I'm using Logic for music production and Pro Tools for post, and I've always missed the easy way the Logic Spreader plugin widens the signal. I've got lots of other Stereo Spread plugs (the Brainworx ones, various delays, UAD Precision K-Stereo etc.), and I like them, but none of them have that "magic" of the simple, effective frequency shift of the Spreader. It's so simply and yet so lovely.

I mean, I could probably do this in Timeless 3, but I'm lazy and I'd just love a slap-on plug like the Spreader.

Anyone knows of a similar plug?

Thanks!
