Whats a game changer ? cutting edge?

New software that isn't redundant but actually solves a problem and adds significant value?

This could even mean a software doing the same thing but can save half the time, or something new that changes the game and workflow.

 

You mean... something like this ?

 

Or like this ?
(Yep, real game changer ! I'm pretty sure that absolutely nobody won't ever produce the same incredible sounds with any existing synth)

Note; Constance Demby was one of the most famous synth player in Ambient genre)

 

you're on a rampage rn

 

is that the new iMac?

 

"cutting edge" is something that's "state of the art", obviously

On a more serious note, they are different concepts. Cutting edge being something that's advanced and innovative in it's own area (like a super advanced EQ), gamechanger is something that changes the way things are normally done completely (like the introduction of digital audio).

Of course, in the audio world these very rarely mean anything at all. They're just buzzwords and shall therefore be laughed at.

 

I would probably say Gulfoss for me.
It's an EQ algorhythm that detects frequencies which sound "bad" and EQ's accordingly many times per seconds (I think like 60 Times? )
Obviously only an plugin can do such things and it really helps on the master bus.

 

interesting! do you think it can detect aliasing as "bad" frequencies ? ill check it out thanks!

 

When I add it to the main buss my songs just go totally quiet, 'cos all my frequencies suck.

 

you just gotta put an instance of gulfoss on maximum in between everything, that way you'll beat it at its own game.

"how can all these frequencies suck Gulfoss? After all.... you created them!"

I agree though with the cutting edge programs being things like Gulfoss, soothe2, ozone's low end focus ...programs you can slap on and get quick results you're happy with and you couldn't do (probably. I couldn't). the sonible/focusrite balancer stuff is also cool but I find myself using those more for ideas or suggestions and if I choose to apply them Ill do it with another plugin of choice.

lastly, this is an older program but the technology is still unique so I'm gonna say Nebula as I'm obsessed with it. no one else as far as I can tell is using the dynamic impulse response type thing, and I recently ended up buying some Tim petherick libraries who is one of the most advanced library creators so he's gotten the tech dialed in as good as anyone. I'm running in 96khz so sure it sounds super clean and all that stuff, but the biggest game changer to me is that because it sounds so good I can hear better than I ever have the changes I'm making with say, compressors. so whether or not the results through a nebula 1176 or a algo 1176 sound better in the end to the listener- the fact I'm able to dial in what I want with way more confidence is huge. that being said the sound of nebula is cutting edge, the program ui and such is not lol.

 

ApQualizr2, RX10, Melodyne, LALAL, etm.

 

This could also be considered cutting edge. Like, literally:

A meteor like the one that killed off the dinosaurs would be a real game-changer.

It's why i put in a few hours each week beating on a hollow log. When the game changes one needs to change with it.

 

The fashion handle Game Changer: This term suggests that you must have this. On closer inspection, however,
it is almost always not a game changer. The best and cheapest product will prevail. The quality of a plugin gets around.

The struggle of marketing strategists is to get the attention of the user. Every company is different, FabFilter
convinces with quality, Celemony with its Meolodyne convinces all along the line with note-based audio processing.

Some marketing strategists offer business models through discounts and free plugins like Plugin Alliance for example,
others disappear from the market or are bought out by larger companies. You can say the more competitive
the market is the more aggressive the advertising or the more quality and innovation that prevails.

Through the Internet, people around the world who are connected to the World Wide Web have access to the market.
Anyone who has a good idea can take that idea to market and see if their idea or product is needed.

Is it an addiction to always have new products? Does there always have to be something new? I am more a fan of stable DAWS
and plugin and software that is easy to use and does what you want it to do without errors or in other words it should do what
it is made for. Actually we have almost everything now and most users drown in rather plugins and sound libraries.

 

In the recent music history, real game changers were not very numerous. In the XXth Century I don't see anything else than:

• the invention of the first microphone not made for telephony but for radio broadcast and for music, in 1910.
• the invention of the first electric keyboard, the Rangertone, marketed in 1932.
• the invention of the first electrically amplified guitar, named the "frying pan", marketed in 1932 too.
• the release of the first Moog modules, in 1964, which totally changed the way to experiment music in labs.
• the release of the first Minimoog and of the first ARP portable synths, in 1969, which totally changed the way to make spectacular music on stage and in the studios, and made a huge revolution in the music styles and genres.
  
• the release of the first synth based on microprocessors, the Prophet-5, in 1978.
• the release of the first real sampler, by Fairlight, in 1979.
• the release of the first MIDI protocol, in 1982, which totally changed the way to compose music and to make instruments share information.
• the release of the popular computer music protocol and open format, named Virtual Studio Technology (VST), by Steinberg, in 1996.

These were the real game changers in music. Since then, nothing came as real game changer, all the next things and concepts introduced by the companies were simply evolutions of these previous revolutions.

Since 1982, something has happened after all. The SmartPhoner changed the world. The World Wide Web has also grown.

New platforms like YouTube and Wikipedia and millions of new websites and possibilities. The PC with its ever faster
CPU and larger RAM came and thereby one could play more and better virtual software synthesizers on the PC.

Midi 2.0 and Celemoney - Melodyne. The analog recording studio is no longer needed.

 

Don't know if I would call this pedal cutting edge, but they sure did name it that.

 

parawave rapid is cutting edge too bad i cant afford it
