MeldaProductions February Sale – Interesting company and interesting products. Just ported their plugins to the mac I believe. Anyway, they are having a ‘reverse sale’ wherein the discount started at 50% off on the first of the month and decreases each day by 1%. So the discount is 39% off of list as of 11 February. Weird. Anyway, I bought their MCreative suite at the beginning of February and have to say they are really neat and innovative plugins. I’ll try to post some examples later. Well worth checking out.
Amplidood’s DP and Logic GUI mods – Amplidood is a regular contributor over at MOTUNATION. Shortly after DP6 came out to less than rave reviews of the GUI (general consensus was that the interface was much too bright), a group of forum members began to mod elements of the GUI. Amplidood was the most prolific, and he has now set up a website where these mods can be grabbed (for free of course). When I was still using DP, I thought his mods were cool.
Well he recently took on the LOGIC GUI and I really like his tweaks to the interface, so much so in fact that it has become my default. You should check the GUI tweaks out, and if you find any of them useful, you can always give him a donation via paypal. (I did.)
AudiMulch 2.0 — Interesting and innovative software for live performance, audio processing, sound synthesis and music composition. Another recent port to the mac. The trial version is fully functional for a rather generous 60 days. Sort of a mash up of REAKTOR, MAX, and little bits and pieces of a DAW. No proper midi recording and you can’t ReWire it or sync it with a DAW (as far as I can tell at this point.) An interesting app though and pretty approachable…
Groboto 3 Beta – This fine little modeling and animation tool is getting all grown up. It can now export unified meshes of models so they can be further sculpted in more advanced tools. The program is easy to use and creates some really great images using “modeling ‘bots”. It’s also cheap at $79.
