I would only begrudgingly use the old instruments by firing up Cubase 8.5 and then bouncing down to audio, but it is kind of a downer after investing so many days in downloading (slow internet here) all the sounds and maybe getting excited at finding playable instruments quickly. It seems IK Multimedia is currently only interested in selling (apple based) hardware and doesn't put any effort whatsoever in development / improving their plugins? If there is no active development on Virtual Instruments then I would really like to know and rather move on and cut my losses to future prove my projects. There is a reason why the GUIs of programs like SampleTron looked different and lived as separate VSTis in a given song. Reasons: The import into ST3 is a very unfriendly and convoluted process. The current option of using ST3 for these is not an acceptablee solution. For a creative twist, use Spectral Shaper across any frequency band to experiment with timbre, resonance, and transient information without affecting other elements of the source audio.ĭownload “iZotope Ozone 8 Advanced v8.Now that Cubase 9 has landed and finally blacklisted all my IK Multimedia instruments (including SampleMook, SampleTron, Sonik Synth, Philharmonik), I think it is about time for IK Multimedia of seriously considering porting their instruments to 64 bits.

Fantastic for taming percussive transients, Spectral Shaper can tame sibilant hi-hats, harsh vocals, plucky acoustic guitars, and other overly bright mix elements. Mold your audio by applying frequency-specific dynamics, surgically or creatively, to create smooth, balanced audio. Smooth and sculpt problematic and harsh frequencies with the new Spectral Shaper module. No more context switching or opening up multiple windows-just tonally balanced, professional sounding music. This inter-plugin communication lets you fix mix issues during mastering and helps bridge the mixing and mastering gap.

The Tonal Balance Control plug-in not only communicates with the Ozone 8 Equalizer and Post EQ modules, but Neutron 2 EQ modules as well.

You can even create your own custom targets from one or more songs in your personal library. Instantly call up any Ozone Equalizer and adjust your tracks to targets based on ten of thousands of professional masters. The new Tonal Balance Control plug-in introduces industry-first visual analysis and communicates with all instances of Ozone so you can shape a perfectly balanced master. Because your time is better spent adding your sonic signature, Master Assistant will suggest targets, signal chain, and processor settings, so you can get back to what’s most important-adding that personal touch. Master Assistant uses the sonic profile of your audio to help you get to a logical starting point. As the industry’s most comprehensive mastering suite, Ozone 8 adds to its legacy by introducing new intelligent signal processing, spectral shaping, Tonal Balance Control, and more.
