Introduce Yourself : New composer in the house by Ian Francis Smith

Welcome to the community! I might be needing a composer soon. I'll definitely think of you when the time comes.

Thanks Jack! Sounds good

Welcome to the composing community Ian! Always great to have new members aboard! You music is definitely unique and pretty fascinating! And I really enjoyed listening to your musical sound design!

Thanks Samuel! Nice to meet you. You have a link I can check out your stuff? I still haven't figured out how to access people's links from their profile page.

Should work if you click on my profile and look at audio/video links. Should be a sound cloud link there. Let me know if it doesn't show up. Thanks!

Ahhhh, I figured out the drop down menu w links. I was really confused, didn't see it on my phone. Yes your stuff is awesome. I listened to some, need to go back. You ever use convolution reverb in able ton?

Don't use ableton much - on cubase and protools. In general not a big fan of Convolution Reverbs, altiverb is fine, but I prefer synthetic verbs.

I just started experimenting w the convolution. It has interesting potential. I primarily use presonus studio one as my daw. But ableton inspires me sometimes in different ways. More manual manipulation of fx. The timeline blows for editing though. I have altiverb on my Mac but haven't really used it. I tend to use the proprietary reverbs and delays in studio one. I bought a used Mac a few years ago where the owner left me all his software. Too many plug ins to count or ever really explore. What's a good synthetic reverb I should check out?

Be careful with those "preloaded" macs. Almost all software is sold as a license and does not transfer ownership of the license with physical sales. To legally use any of the software on that Mac you would have to contact the original seller and ask for a license transfer of any of the software you want to use, both plugins and sampler based instruments. That being said, just posted in this forum a couple of weeks ago some synthetic reverb plugins I came across. Valhalla reverb and E OS from audio damage are both only $50 and not half bad. I really like c2audio reverbs too. If you want to go crazy look at lexicon and IRCAM verbs. best, sam

cheers
