Anyone got any new music software of interest?

I just upgraded to Cubase 5, Nuendo 4, Wavelab 6 & Renoise
2.5!!

Though upgrades take work. Luckily, upgrades can be made
more efficient by spending long hours on them.

apple soundtrack pro, it's the best i tried for audio
editing tasks since the old cubase 1.6 sx (last cracked for
osx). it lacks nothing.

What are the benefits of editing audio in Soundtrack Pro
over Logic (if there are any)?

most of the audio editors for mac are made of shit but it's
definately a matter of feel. soundtrack just works for me.
what i didn't like in logic (at least, the last i tried) is
that it wouldn't allow you to process portions of audio
files: if i had an audio track, and i wanted a bit of that
track to have some effect, i needed to: duplicate that
track, cut the rest off the interested bit, load an audio
unit and write a whole automation for that track. you even
needed to bounce that portion and reload it with a new name
if you just wanted to reverse it for example.

in cubase (here's an old screenshot) you just needed to
select the portion and apply the effect on the fly, though
destructively. nowadays you have that function only if you
buy the most expensive version of it. plus, nowadays cubase
sucks.

now, i don't know if soundtrack is capable of that trick
with Audio Units but if i want to shape a bit i just have to
trim off that bit, select the newly created clip and apply
'convert to multitake clip'. then process it as a unique
file in the very same track. pretty handy.

srsly duder i'm having a hard time following this post, this
sounds hella complicated... and you're afraid of programming
tsk tsk..

also i just nearly smashed my laptop to the wall trying to
do something really simple in Adobe Illustrator. (CROP the
artboard) FUCK software.

i assure you that it's more complicated to explain than
actually doing it. it's true that making music this way
drains you away though. but its good for training.

There is no exciting new software any more. Everything is
too influenced by other software and conventions. No one
would dare do stuff like the right click menu like Cubase
VST used to do (does Cubase still do it?).

Where is the software which does a spectral analysis of my
sound, creates a time variant harmonic map and allows me to
tweak it? Resynthesis? Then processes my input signal,
frequency matching the fundamental to the chromatic scale,
so I can sing into it?
What about a nice blocky gui with lots of keyboard use
rather than mouse clicking? Convolutional reverb, binaural
audio, vocoding... come on chaps.

I realise most of this can be done with various VSTs or
whatever, but where is the single program with a minimal
mouse GUI, everything above included and obvious to use? I
refuse to put up with mouse clicky gui.

Why can't I record a sound I like, tweak the harmonics, sing
into it the computer and the output is in the harmonically
tweaked additive sound in the key of my voice vocoded with
the raw sound of my voice?

Hmmmm, sounds like I want a soft
Synclavier with the benefits of 21st century DSP
horsepower!

can't you just take that there is people who can eata loads
of concepts like a snap but the same people need to stare 3
hours at a simple mathematic formula to get around the same
10 pages concept? they exist.

what i was thinking about earlier today is how no one can
pin down Drukqs to any particular bits of s/hardwr, eg.
ziggomatic ..
the trainspotters aint managed nowt 4 it, LOL

I would imagine a lot of it has been sampled, so is more
difficult than simply thinking "squelchy = 303, booming bass
= 808, etc"

There's probably loads of recognisable things on drukqs, but
they've been chopped up so it's hard to tell, like if you
remove the attack off drums and layer it with a shorter hit
it sounds totally different, even for such obvious ones as
808/909. I like using sampled drums off rock and roll
records layered with ones off drum machines, gives it a
really good sound.

no offence ( that as close as anyway gets ) but ...
LOL, drukqs still kills it

though, the sounds on there are not normal, really. Not
normal.
Most stuff gets teh fanboys swarming around and figuring out
this or that pretty quickly but Drukqs it still what it was
in 2001.

i chopped 20 seconds off a madlib interlude that sampled it
from some other track, into a minute of bedroom jazz (no
beat repeat)
