They get access to the 2.6GB Plugsound Avid Edition sound library through the free UVI Workstation 3 plug-in, so not bad at all. Pro Tools | First users don’t entirely miss out with their entry-level option.

Just as we were starting to think the company had given us the last update for 2018, we were gifted a surprise, just in time for Christmas.Īvid has partnered with software-instrument developer UVI to provide the company’s Falcon hybrid virtual instrument and an exclusive sound library to all Pro Tools and Pro Tools | Ultimate users. Global Collection Global collection faithfully follows the GM standard for sound classification.A s a part of the subscription model with Pro Tools, Avid releases regular tweaks, updates and add-ons to the software over the length of your subscription. Synth categories provided in the library include: Composites, Flutes, Voices, Tines & Bells, Basses (Acid, analog, disco/house, garage, electropop, hip hop/ R ‘n B, sub, techno.), Pads, Soft Pads, Filter Sweeps, Analog Brass, Leads, Organs, Piano-like, Textures/Fx and Short-Reso.

But this is only the basis to play with: the UVI Engine XT allows you to taylor each preset to your need with professional quality tools like amplitude and filter ADSR envelopes, resonant filters, mono mode appropriate for both leads and one of the 160 bass sounds, LFO for filter sweeps, tremolo, autopan, vibrato or even all four at the same time, and much more. It gives that collection a variety of sound unrivalled by most hardware modules. World Of Synthesizers focuses on real synth sounds taken from a range of essenntial machines from expensive workstations to specialized sound modules. The focus of this collection was to supply presets based on a very wide variety of analog, digital, virtual analog and plug-in synthesizers. This is unfortunate because it puts a lot of risk on us as customers, and it makes using their products a gamble. These types of Service Level Agreements are common in the IT industry, yet, for some reason, I have yet to see one challenge-response-based plug-in developer publicly publish a SLA of this sort. In my experience, if we pay relatively large amounts of money for challenge-response software, then the software providers need to provide a guarantee to the customer that their registration services will be available 99.9% of the time.

To say the least, it was a very frustrating experience, and that incident was enough to make me begin seriously thinking twice before using any software with challenge-response copy protection in the future. With respect to the challenge-response copy protection, the one time I had to reinstall the software, the USB Sounds registration website was unavailable for an entire weekend. The piano collection is probably the best of the bunch. I own the collection and, overall, find the sounds to be pretty good.
