in reply to: LADD Initial Thoughts and Feedback #49508
By the way, is the Wet/Dry knob always for parallel compression? I figured it depended on the mastering fx you have set up.
If it’s always parallel compression, I’d say calling it NY Drums might be better. But again, this is a fly poop issue, and you’re busy getting a product out the door!
in reply to: LADD Initial Thoughts and Feedback #49507Wet/dry nomenclature is a pretty small point, because you only have to learn that it isn’t reverb wet/dry once.
As a Logic user, anything with channels is a minor nuisance. My personal preference is to have as much as possible on the keyboard at once.
in reply to: LADD Initial Thoughts and Feedback #49505Okay, some first reactions from the other day and tonight.
Holy shit – those are big-ass sounds. I played the snares alone for about 15 minutes. Yeah I’m weird.
Sorry in advance if I’m missing things that are explained in the videos.
The wet/dry mastering knob doesn’t do what I’d expect, namely lowering and raising the reverb – which is the first thing I’d want to do. If wet/dry is a ganged control for something else, it should probably have a different name? And I guess one click to go to the mixer and access the stage, verb, and full sliders isn’t excessive…but my first reaction was that I didn’t want to hunt for it. I do like the x1…x8 feature, though.
A couple or few traditional programs that only have lots of single hits on the keyboard would be nice. Hitting the Key FX presets to bring up the yellow and blue keys is okay, but it’s sort of unpredictable. It would be good to have all the drums on one keyboard, maybe all the metals, filtered stuff, etc. A regular percussion module.
in reply to: LADD Manual (WIP – work in progress) #49566Okay, but this is a totally horrific error that is going to get all the mechanics who buy LADD absolutely furious: calling an open wrench an allen wrench (the Edit button).
Aren’t you glad I’m here?

in reply to: Dowload confimation and stats #49587HOLY SHIT!
Awesome.
in reply to: Dowload confimation and stats #49586For what it’s worth the process took almost exactly 2-1/2 hours the way I did it (that includes decompressing the files).
in reply to: Dowload confimation and stats #49581Probably no help here, but I want to respond:
My main machine – the one connected by copper – is running 10.9.5 and only has about 20GB free on the startup drive.
Since I have to redirect the download to another drive, I’m running your installation program on my OS X 10.6.8 laptop and having it put LADD on the drive over the network.
My brain can’t figure out whether that means the library is going over tsk tsk wi-fi twice or not, but it’s probably not as fast as a direct download.
in reply to: Anyone using LASS with wind/breath controller? #33264Unfortunately Logic’s transformers don’t know velocity, but for other transformings – i.e. routing CC1 to other things – you can easily place an on/off button in your Arrange window screenset to toggle between the transformer and bypassing it.
Other than the Kontakt script itself, I think the answer to these issues is Plogue Bidule. Its Note Velocity Remapper is the first tool that would be useful, but it has a lot of things in there.
I have some other ideas about how to handle LASS with a wind/breath controller, but I want to find out whether they’re possible in Bidule before mentioning them.
Okay, I read through this.
Yeah, before the update that allowed remapping – and I think what I’m suggesting is exactly what Mr. K had in mind when he added the feature, no? – I used four tracks and dealt with the aliases. But I find having the volume faders very useful, both for divisi and also just for real-time balance changes. Example: bringing up the first chair during fast runs to add definition.
What Jay is doing lets you use keyswitches, but I still prefer not having four tracks for one line. In other libraries that rely on more articulations it might be different.
I haven’t read this thread all the way through yet, but one thing jumped out re: Sebastian’s first reply (and Sebastian if you email me I’ll hook you up – NB at Virtual Instruments Mag dot com): I’m not re-routing cc11, I’m using it to control all the sections simultaneously. All I’m doing is using cc 12-15 as individual volume controls for each section.
And Jay, don’t make me come down there now…
in reply to: LASS banks for all sections #31583In Logic I create a multi-instrument and connects to an instance of VE Pro. This instance of VE pro will be my string-section. Each instrument in the VE pro will be a Kontakt instrument containing all articulations (I need) from a specific string section. Meaning I want all first violin articulations to be loaded in the same Kontakt instrument, all articulations using the same midi channel and the control which articulation will be playing by key switches.
Nordkrog, that’s not working in VE Pro quite yet. You have to use one VE Pro instance per 16-channel bank for now so that you can use Plug-in MIDI instead of IAC or ipMIDI.
They’re working on it, though.
