Home Studio 4 plus DR-008 SE DXi Drum synth; Audio FX 1 dynamic processor DirectX plug-in and a CD with ACID format loops in a variety of genre.
Studio results for the
Home Musician
Just because you record at home doesn't
mean you're not a perfectionist. And being a perfectionist doesn't neccesarily
mean you've got hours and hours to polish your creations. Home Studio
XL 4 gives you the tools to get your track sounding chart-worthy, without
having to take days off work!
The FX1 Compressor/Gate/Limiter adds
a convincing 'radio' sound to your finished projects. When a pro studio
finishes a CD or Radio mix, it invariably adds compression to give the
track punch and sparkle - to really make it stand out. This plug-in
achieves great compression, and gives you a stack of other options too.
For added depth and colour, there are
loads of studio grade samples and loops. Whether you're working on a
dance track or not you'll be really pleased with the results.
All this - and the best and easiest home
music software ever - What's stopping you?
