The demo presets on the site only scratch the surface. CAPTAINвЂ™S LOG When I got the assignment to review this plug-in, I ran right to USB's Web site to start my research. Want to make a sound stand out? Turn on the Mastering section and watch PlugSound Pro come alive. There's even a Mastering section that includes 3-band EQ, a compressor, a limiter, and tube harmonics. Each part has controls for volume, pan, pitch, and polyphony along with two aux buses (Aux 1 and 2). Navigation is a snap because most of the parameters are available in the main screen of the plug-in. The Sound Design section has enough sound-shaping parameters to satisfy your need to tweak, and a MIDI Learn feature so you can map controls to various PlugSound Pro parameters. Don't worry about some of the large sound files - PlugSound Pro can stream samples from your hard drive. The plug-in also includes an Expert mode for creating complex stacks and combinations, with each part having its own effects and output setting. PlugSound Pro's feature set provides 64-part multitimbral capability, 64 MIDI channels, and an extensive effects section complete with convolution reverb. GIVE ME THE DETAILS At the heart of PlugSound Pro is the UVI Engine, the same core engine found in MachFive, Ethno, and Symphonic Instruments by MOTU and Atmosphere, Trilogy, and Stylus by Spectrasonics. If you still need more, USB has a selection of expansion libraries called UVI Sound Cards. You can even add to the arsenal by importing files in REX, AIFF, and WAV formats as well as Apple Loops. A loop library consisting of beats, vocal parts, and musical phrases is also included to kick your inspiration into high gear. The sound set has synths, pianos, guitars, basses, orchestral instruments, drums, and ethnic instruments all controlled with an uncluttered, intuitive user interface. Ultimate Sound Bank (USB) refers to PlugSound Pro ($399) as a вЂњcomplete workstationвЂќ plug-in, and what a workstation it is! PlugSound Pro ships with 8 GB of sounds, including USB's complete PlugSound Box. You can add to the collection by importing files in REX, AIFF, WAV, and other formats.

It took some time.but was a lot of fun and it makes for a real 'head-turner' of a demo track! Reversing beats and chopping it up to add stutter FX in the mastering. The real fun then came in the 2-track editing process, with EP doing hundreds of 'Squarepusher Razor-blade' edits in Bias Peak, muting beats. Bob sequenced the uptempo Jazzy track.then EP went to work on it, adding more Stylus RMX parts, using the RMX LFOs for heavy filtering and panning tricks and adding the heavily effected Trilogy Bass part. This is the demo that we get the most 'how did he do that?' questions about.
