Virus Vs JP-8000..which basic waveform is fatter?

[pseudonym]

Gopal,


wow...

I'm pretty intrigued by Juno Reactor... Not sure I like it yet, but it is certainly full of culture like you say.

I really enjoyed their score for the Matrix Reloaded...

Cheers man, will let you know how I get on with it.

No way!!! Unpredictable melodies in Trance??? What a _novel_ idea!

Yes. I would either suggest the 250 or the 204. I got mine for 140 Euros from E-bay (Germany). People don't really know what these things do or how they work so nobody is really interested. And there are a number of other patents regarding exciting, from manufacturers like BBE, SPL, Behringer and other, but they are really not that good. BBE uses a technology that has to do with phase shifting/inverting that doesn't really do the thing, because mids are excited too. SPL's Vitalizer enhances highs and lows. The highs are just EQed (could use an EQ instead) but the processing in the lows sound AMAZING. If someone needs a lows processor, SPL Vitalizer MKII rules! Behringer tries to offer something like aphex but it is just a cheap imitation (it's ok for the stereo in the bathroom ) . Aphex uses the best patent. The sound of the input gets *analogly* overdriven (distorted). Then, the highs (particularly the 3rd harmonic of the distorted sound) are filtered out of the distorted signal, processed and added back to the original input signal. This produces crystal clear higs, practically from nothing! The output signal doesn't sound distorted at all, in fact you get to hear highs that weren't there before the process! Hope you find this information interesting! And ... sorry about my english, it has in deed become a bit rusty

Seeyou:
No worries
I usually speak french so I understand how it feels heh

Thanks a lot for the great info...I'll try to find a 250 off ebay!
Is there any sites where I can listen to clips before/after being processed?
That would rock!

Thanks

You could send me something to apterus@gmail.com,
preferrably something of your own, something that you know 100% how it sounds, I can process it and send it back to you. Try sending it in .aac / 192 or .wma / 192!

Great! That's very nice from you.

Email sent!

The only spirit involved in this music is the sticky vodka being spilt on the floor as the drunken twats who know no better than to dance to this mindless absurdity fall over eachother to 'go off'.

Excellant

Wow! very good work there!
The secret is not to apply the exciter to the whole mix because all the high-hats will be excited too and maybe you don't want that.If I apply the exciter to the whole mix, then the difference will not be that surprising. You get the most out of the exciter when you process one or two instruments in a mix and then compare it to the same mix, before using the exciter. (does the sentence make any sense??? 8O ).
Anyway, it got a bit late so I promise you will get the e-mail within 2 days max. If you can, send me a separate audio channel from one of your tracks for me to process (preferrably a virus!!!!) and see how the whole mix changes!!!

Post it! Post it! I love hearing audio demos of gear processing.

Panioptic still never sent me the Distressor demo.
