New stuff from SPL
|SPL has just announced five new products (four hardware, one software), and I think there’s something for everyone here. Stay tuned for further details (price/availability).
By the way, if for plug-ins 2009 has been a year of reverbs, it seems in 2010 we’ll have plenty of new drum replacement tools to try. Well, given SPL’s experience with transients, I bet their DrumXchanger will be a hit (ehm…!)
Outboard
- M/S Master: M/S management processor
- Transpressor: The ultimate dynamic processor
