See Issue #28 for my full review of Altiverb for MAS, a plug-in that I would consider the best software reverb I've heard. Well now it's available for RTAS and VST as well as MAS. You can check...
I have been wanting to audition a master clock for sometime now and finally had both the opportunity and reason to do so. November was a busy month at my studio with mostly digital sessions, giving us...
