UAD 2 Powered Plug-In DSP Instance Chart

Quanto assorbe ogni plug-in della UAD?

Questa tabella è realizzabile solo sui plugin su DSP, come i Powered Plug-In di UAD che usano uno stesso processore di calcolo, lo SHARC 21369 (o lo SHARC 21469 a più basso assorbimento e di ridotte dimensioni per tutte le versioni UAD-2 OCTO PCI Satellite o Appollo che siano) con caratteristiche note e identiche per ciascuna unità.

- SHARC 21369 -

Data l'innumerevole varietà di CPU presenti sui computer, non è possibile stilare un documento simile con i plug-in nativi, quelli cioè che lavorano direttamente sul processore del computer.
Questa che segue è quindi la potenza "assoluta" assorbita da ciascun Plug-In UAD 2 su di 1 loro DSP alla frequenza di campionamento di 44.1kHz su qualsiasi configurazione possibile, con l'unica riserva che qualche plug-in può assorbire più potenza a frequenze di campionamento più alte.

Claudio Coccoluto choose Alex Picciafuochi as Mastering Engineer for his label The Dub

2015-11-07T08:29:00.001+01:00

In 2012, Claudio Coccoluto, italian world famous DJ/Producer, has chosen Alex Picciafuochi as Digital and Vinyl media Mastering Engineer for his artistic label "The Dub".

Decalogo Semiserio...

2015-03-23T10:22:00.002+01:00

Decalogo semiserio del musicista troppo moderno...

1) Il Mastering non è alzare il volume, altrimenti non esisterebbero studi specialistici da milioni di euro: basterebbe comprare una buona manopola del volume che arrivi fino a 11!

2) No, una volta fatto un aggiornamento dalla versione precedente non potete vendere la vecchia: la licenza è unica e quello che avete acquistato è una semplice estensione della vecchia.

3) No, non si possono duplicare le chiavi USB di autorizzazione (iLok, eLicenser), nelle software house solitamente non lavorano idioti, è consentito solo spostare le licenze in una dello stesso tipo tramite l'apposita utility con supervisione online.

4) Se non trovate una informazione, fate una ricerca più scaltra, troppo comodo chiamare chi lo sa, chi lo sa l'ha trovata e se l'ha trovata lui la potete trovare anche voi…

5) LEGGETE! LEGGETE! LEGGETE! Soprattutto se siete alle prime armi. Esistono libri, guide e manuali e viviamo nell'era di internet, le informazioni sono sempre sotto i vostri occhi, cercatele!

6) Non appesantite il desktop/scrivania con GB di file. Finirete con il rovinare l'intero sistema.

7) Anche i "semplici" plug-in vengono installati nel cuore della cartella sistema, sia su OSX che su Windows, se non avete la certezza della provenienza, del software in vostro possesso, non lo installate, potreste arrecare danni importanti o quantomeno destabilizzare il sistema operativo.

8) Non vi lamentate del funzionamento dei programmi non originali e soprattutto non chiedete assistenza, semplicemente non ne avete il diritto.

9) Se fate musica non potete non avere la benché minima idea di cosa siano note musicali, tonalità o scale... Vi fareste fare un intervento chirurgico da una persona qualsiasi che ha una buona predisposizione ma che va per tentativi?

10) I brani musicali, e le canzoni, di altissimo livello sono realizzati da team di luminari, persone eccezionalmente dotate di talento e cultura specializzate in poche cose. Se avete una qualche carenza è normale, non si può saper fare tutto, costituite un team di lavoro con persone di cui vi fidate e che vi siano complementari, come recita un antico proverbio africano:"da soli si cammina più veloci ma insieme si va più lontano".

Maselec EQ plug-in version by Acustica-Audio

2015-03-19T21:22:00.004+01:00

Maselec EQ, excellent plug-in version by Acustica-Audio: Ivory IAE-2

OPERATION
- Input & Output knobs control plug-in input and output gain.
- The PRE-IN button enables (lamp ON) or bypasses (lamp OFF) the preamp stage of Ivory Eq.
- BYPASS button sets to bypass the plug-in (lamp ON) ) or not-bypasses (lamp OFF)
- Input Trim: This knob sets the input level from -24dB to +24dB, and is used to control the signal level inside the eq, the output level is than automatically compensated by the same amount of gain. At the first execution of the plug-in, input is set to ensure that you feed an appropriate level from the first stage of your signal path to the final one.
- INPUT – OUTPUT VU METER measure the input (upper meter) and output (lower meter) levels of the plug-in.

Each band is controlled independently by an identical set of controls; sections are Low Frequency 1, Low Frequency 2, High Frequency 1 and High Frequency 2, each section has controls for:
- Q
- Frequency
- Cut/Boost

Parametric Bands/Q: available value for Q are: shelf, 4, 6, 9, 14 and 20 (although these vary depending on gain and bandwidth selection).

Frequencies:
Here the list of available frequencies for each band:

- Low Frequency 1 (Hz): 19, 22, 26, 31, 37, 43, 51, 60, 71, 84, 98, 114, 134, 158, 185, 218, 258, 305, 364, 435, 540;
- Low Frequency 2 (Hz): 21, 24, 29, 34, 41, 48, 57, 67, 79, 92, 108, 126, 148, 173, 203, 240, 280, 332, 400, 477, 572;
- High Frequency 1 (Hz): 617, 727, 862, 1k, 1k2, 1k4, 1k7, 2k0, 2k4, 2k8, 3k3, 3k9, 4k6, 5k4, 6k4, 7k6, 9k0, 11k, 13k, 17k, 24k;
- High Frequency 2 (Hz): 665, 787, 937, 1k1, 1k3, 1k5, 1k8, 2k2, 2k6, 3k0, 3k6, 4k2, 5k0, 5k9, 7k0, 8k2, 9k7, 12k, 14k, 19k, 27k;

Cut/Boost (dB):
Cut/boost values range from -8dB to 8dB.

Ivory IAE-2 will be issued in bundle containing two versions: Mastering and Standard. The Mastering version is based on a more precise Q control at the expense of a slower band loading time.

Estimated release date: April-2015

Acustica-Audio Hi-Quality Plug-Ins - Acqua Engine Features

2015-03-04T21:50:00.003+01:00

Sampling-Based Effect Processor

Our technology provides seamless support of real-time preamplifier, equalizer, compressor, reverb, multi-effect, stomp-boxes, cabinets, microphones and tapes emulations on Intel based machines, both for Microsoft and Apple OS. It can also take advantage of CUDA parallel GPU computing architecture. The Acustica Acqua Engine is a combination of multiple advanced technical processes that are unique to the Acustica team. Effect devices can be succesfully sampled without further editing or adjustment, and then immediately processed and reproduced via the same engine, where the sampled data is stored and available for recall, loading, saving, and advanced editing when desired. The quality of reproduction of sampled sources are nearly indistinguishable from the originals. The following techniques are merged into a single model.

Nonlinear convolution: The Volterra theorem is applied as a complete re-thinking, replacement, and generalized substitution of the convolution algorithm that is commonly used in audio applications. Accurate sampling, processing, and reproduction of up to 9 harmonics is possible with our proprietary technology.

Vectorial Volterra Kernels Technology (V.V.K.T.): Volterra kernels are stored in tree data structures (managing up to 100000 elements in real-time using a CPU Pentium IV 3 GHz). The Acqua Engine is capable of implementing a list of modules commonly used in audio synthesizers (LFO, envelope followers, dynamic modules, FUNS). Multiple combinations of these processes may be applied to control sources and destinations.

Dynamic Volterra Kernels Technology (D.V.K.T.): Volterra kernels are applied in real-time within the Acqua Engine, depending on the assessment of input and output audio streams. Processing can be applied down to a single audio sample. This is similar to algorithmic convolution, but much more advanced in that it may be applied to varying, constantly updating impulse responses.

Time Varying Models (T.M.V.): A collection of kernels collect data using an advanced sampling technique, creating a multi-dimensional snapshot of a nonlinear/time-varying system. Multiple recordings are interpolated in order to mimic the time evolution and response to external variables such as user parameters and input/output assessments (e.g. time-varying cyclic effect processors , stomp-boxes, digital multi-effect units).

Advanced Technique

The Acqua Engine introduces further optimizations and improvements on the basic design and architecture. Our attention is constantly being directed towards unexplored subjects, maintaining our vision for providing the ultimate sampling-based processing approach.

Split Hybrid (SPLIT-H.): Different algorithms can be used for early reflections and tails. The application of FFT or CUDA improves processing performance, disclosing to emulation of heterogeneous chains of reverb/effects processors.

Smooth3: Artifacts caused by a fast kernel switching are minimized using different types of interpolation, which is executed per sample even when block-based algorithms (e.g. FFT) are involved.

Stone: Minimum phase filters are applied on sampled kernels in order to minimize high/low frequencies roll-off, to fix issues caused by poor AD/DA converters or by the intrinsic behaviour of the target system (e.g. tape sampling).

Raw Data Management: Raw user data (e.g. generic envelopes, envelope followers) can be stored in tree data structures and used as control sources and destinations, allowing complex program-dependant emulations.

Multi-Threading Support

To get the most out of modern multi-core processor architectures, CPU intensive sub-systems of the Acqua Engine Core have been rewritten in order to support multi-threading.

Cuda: Nvidia CUDA technology enables the use of their GPU (graphics processing units) to solve complex computational problems. CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) technology gives computationally intensive applications access to the tremendous processing power of Nvidia GPUs through a revolutionary new programming interface. Providing orders of magnitude more performance and simplifying software development by using the standard C language, CUDA technology enables developers like Acustica to create innovative solutions for data-intensive problems. For advanced research and language development, CUDA includes a low level assembly language layer and driver interface.

The Acqua Engine VST Plug-in is "Designed For CUDA", which means that it is able to take advantage of this technology to provide enhanced performance for those who use Nvidia graphics cards that are CUDA enabled. It is an advancement in GPU development, software technology, and a partnership where everybody gains something valuable from this process. Nebula has a source beyond limitations of the host computer to draw extra processing power from, and the customer has more options and flexibility as a result. It is just one more example of how Acustica is always working to take advantage of the best technology that is available.

Nell'isola dei pirati informatici non ci sono sempre tesori

2015-03-03T08:36:00.002+01:00

Nell'isola dei pirati informatici non ci sono sempre tesori.

Parlando con gente del settore, produttori di applicativi europei non pirati, mi è stato più volte confermato che le famigerate trappole, quelle che scattano non appena si inizia a forzare una qualsiasi delle molteplici protezioni, sono tutt'altro che semplici voci!
Nei programmi audio crackati, ad esempio, si tratta in primis di degradazione della qualità sonora, cioè le specifiche di rigore tecnico non sono più mantenute, il che, di per se, è già catastrofico, un'immensa frustrazione per chi, convinto di usare il miglior plug-in del pianeta a costo zero, si ritrova invece le stesse prestazioni del più casalingo degli applicativi o, nel peggiore dei casi, c'è chi, senza tanti scrupoli, ricorre a metodi molto più drastici, inserendo codice che danno per la stabilità del vostro sistema operativo, non scordiamoci che i plug-in vanno dritti al cuore del sistema, sia su Windows che su Mac OSX, un centro nevralgico, capace di darvi gioia o tormento. E questo, sia chiaro, è una forma cautelativa attuata dai programmatori ufficiali su richiesta della softwarehouse, non del cracker che ha manipolato e sprotetto il software che state usando, questo è potenzialmente ancor più pericoloso ma è forse un'altro discorso...

UAD Little Labs® Voice Of God - & - BOZ Digital Labs Bark of Dog (Bass Resonance Filters)

2015-03-02T07:34:00.002+01:00

UAD - Little Labs® Voice Of God Bass Resonance Plug-In

A One-of-a-Kind “Magnifying Glass” for Low Frequencies — Emulated to Perfection for the UAD-2 Platform. Little Labs authenticated, UA-modeled bass resonance tool for drums, bass, vocals and more. Adds heft and precision to low-end source material — far beyond a simple EQ
Easy two-knob operation for dialing in the target frequency and effect amount (amplitude)
Two buttons dictate the center of the sweepable frequency range, 40 or 100 Hz, while pressing both buttons sets the center to 200 Hz. Dedicated “Flat” button allows for quick A/B comparison
Requires a UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Card or Apollo Interface.

BOZ Digital Labs - Bark Of Dog Bass Resonance Filter

Bark of Dog is a bass resonance filter that lets you increase your low end without turning up the flab. I like to think of it as a way to boost the low end while still keeping it under control. While the controls are super simple, the effect that this has on controlling the low end in a mix is pretty exciting.

Available Formats:
Win (32 and 64 bit): VST, VST3, RTAS, AAX Native
Mac (32 and 64 bit): VST, VST3, RTAS, AU, AAX Native

http://www.bozdigitallabs.com

Entrambi eccellenti, Voice Of God ha un suono più preciso e a fuoco rispetto al Bark Of Dogs che però è totalmente gratuito, i controlli dello UAD sono accuratissimi e permette delle correzioni più misurate, gira solo sui potentissimi DSP delle schede proprietarie della Universal Audio, quindi non ha peso sulla CPU del vostro computer, il BOZ è un po' più approssimativo ma si parla di finezze, in quanto plug-in nativo è totalmente a carico della CPU ma è comunque estremamente leggero.

Acustica Audio Green Equalizer - GML (George Massenburg Labs) EQ clone

2015-03-01T20:28:00.001+01:00

(ENG) The Green Equalizer is inspired by a reference standard parametric equalizer, characterized by astonishing precision and sonic accuracy when sculpting the response of any source. Green Eq offers overlapping frequency bands, which provide great precision and flexibility, a complete control over a wide frequency range and “Q” setting, along with 15 dB of cut or boost on five individual bands. The Low and High bands offer counter-clockwise detents for shelving curves in addition to the variable “Q” values from 0.4 to 4 found in the other three bands.
In this screenshot in AVID Pro Tools 11 (AAX64 64bit plug-in format) via the Blue Cat Audio Patchwork wrapper plug-in.

(IT) Il Green Equalizer è il clone di uno dei più amati equalizzatori della GML, il modello 8200, la sua eccellenza non ha bisogno di presentazioni, è narrata dalla storia della musica internazionale.
Nella schermata si può ammirare il Green EQ aperto su AVID Pro Tools 11 (compatibile solo con plug-in a 64bit AAX64) tramite il plug-in wrapper Blue Cat Audio Patchwork. Il suono di questo plug-in è bellissimo, estremamente musicale, qualsiasi cosa tocchi inevitabilmente la migliora. Un must!

Leggere ed importare il CD-TEXT con Mac OSX, da CD-Audio

2014-05-30T23:22:00.004+02:00

Scrivere un CD-Audio completo di CD-TEXT è piuttosto semplice, altra cosa è invece importare le tracce da un CD-Audio includendo il CD-TEXT, soprattutto su Mac OSX.

Se vi interessa solo visualizzare il CD-TEXT, ad esempio per verificare la corretta scrittura prima di andare in stampa, potete avvalervi del Terminal, o ancor più semplicemente scaricare i Triumph CD-Tools della Audiofile-Engineering da questa pagina:

http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/support/helpdesk/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=121

Se invece quello che vi serve è importare le tracce audio di un CD già nominate correttamente con artista, titolo e, se presente, anche ISRC, anziché un più generico Track 01, Track 02, ecc. potete usare uno dei seguenti software: Roxio Toast Titanium 11 o Steinberg WaveLab 7/8.

Con Toast si può visualizzare il CD-TEXT contenuto nel CD-Audio andando sul menù Recorder, poi Disk Info, oppure premendo la combinazione di tasti "Cmd" e la lettera "i" della tastiera.
Si può invece procedere all'importazione del file audio dal CD-Audio, con tanto di CD-TEXT, selezionando Add dal menù Disc, oppure premendo i tasti "Cmd" e "+".

Con WaveLab 7 o 8, le uniche due versioni realizzate per Mac OSX, è possibile importare i CD-TEXT direttamente dalla funzione di importazione da CD-Audio.
