Notion Music veröffentlicht Notion SLE, eine spezielle Version der Notion3-Software speziell für die Vienna Symphonic Library, Special Edition und die Special Edition PLUS. Notion SLE beinhaltet Presets für Vienna Instruments, Vienna Ensemble und Vienna Ensemble PRO welches automatisch alle Artikulationswechsel im Hintergrund berechnet und so zu einem realistischeren Playback führen soll.

I have no experience with neither the Vienna software, nor Notion, so I’ll just let the press release do the talking.

From the Vienna Symphonic Library press release:

NOTION SLE offers over 100 presets for all instruments and ensembles included in both Vienna Special Edition collections. As the user writes and articulates his score, NOTION SLE will follow the instructions and automatically change the Vienna Instruments patches in playback to accurately and realistically perform the score. Dynamics, hairpins, articulations and even portamentos will faithfully be reproduced in playback. NOTION SLE comes with a demo version of Vienna Suite, Vienna Symphonic Library’s high-end audio processing tools that include Convolution Reverb, featuring several concert halls and studios.

The Vienna Special Edition and the Special Edition PLUS are Vienna Symphonic Library’s powerful orchestral packages at entry-level prices. They offer a cross-section of sounds from Vienna’s 1.5 million sample archive, covering all instruments and ensembles of the large symphonic orchestra and even more.

Price is $89.

From the Toontrack press release:

Featuring 6 full drum kits, 6 kick drums and 6 snares the Evil Drums Expansion Pack is unlike any other expansion pack available. Recorded to analog tape at two legendary rock studios using compression and EQ, Joe Barresi has captured a diverse ensemble of drum sounds with unprecedented detail and full bleed to create a unique and exquisitely evil expansion pack. Evil Drums also includes MIDI grooves performed by Pat Wilson (Weezer, The Special Goodness).

While Joe Barressi’s Evil Drums are the first third-party library to be released for Superior Drummer 2.0, it’s not exactly a brand new product, Evil Drums has been available for BFD for quite some time now.

Joe Barresi should know his “evil drums”. His credits include Tool, Wolfmother, Queens Of The Stone Age, Weezer, Clutch, Pennywise, Turbonegro, Bad Religion, and more.

Digidesign

Das Monster Avid hatte viele Gesichter, eines davon hiess Digidesign. Vor nicht allzulanger Zeit wollte nun das Monster nur noch ein Gesicht besitzen und somit nur noch Avid heissen. Wenn man von aussen zuschaut, erkennt man mittlerweile gar kein Gesicht mehr.

Dave Lebolt, Peter Gorges und Scott Church. Was bedeuten diese Namen für dich? Stiff erzählt euch, was diese beiden Namen für ihn bedeuten.

1. Dave Lebolt - Kingpin, the big cheese and the face of Digidesign as a company.
2. Peter Gorges - The face of AIR, the team that - at least to me -
   was there to connect Digidesign and Pro Tools to a whole new generation
   of music producers, among other things.
3. Scott Church - Digidesigns only real arm stretching out to the end-user.

They are in other words ‘connection symbols’. Whether this is true
or just illusions of mine are actually completely irrelevant. You see,
symbols are important, and what makes up a corporate image and face.

Thus I state that Digidesign is now faceless.

We can speculate how much we want about the departures, but it won’t
really get us anywhere other than to a forest of rumors. What I do want
to ask Digidesign or Avid, or whatever they want to call themselves, is
this:

What will your new face be?

A ripple of doubt has been sent through the end-users. A new face is promised
in a press release with statements from a leader that has now resigned.
What will you do Avid/Digidesign to restore faith in your operation?
What is your intention now? What are your plans for the future? What
face will you mold now? All over the web the haters are laughing while
your followers are questioning where you’re leading them.

You ask me? I’m glad you did.

Present us to the icons that will make out your new face. Conquer
the web (it’s slightly ridiculous to see that no audio company has
understood just how much there is to gain by doing this - not even
Apple!). Give us an indication of the future, a teaser, a trailer that doesn’t really say anything other than “we’re on it!”. Preferably in that order, but feel free to shuffle it up if it interferes with your current schedule… Do it all at the same time.

All of that is of course just PR. There’s still so much to be done
software- and hardware-wise. But this is something I believe Avid knows
(and it’s another post anyway). Lets just hope that they have their
priorities right and that some of the rumors floating around are
nothing more than figments of frustrated users imagination.

PR, it almost has a bad ring to it, but it’s important now. You need
to reconnect with the people that made you the standard. You need to
listen to them and you need to grow new arms to stretch out to them. If
you don’t understand that Avid, then you’re doomed.
