Virtual Analog

The organizers think twice about everything these days: the size of an area set aside, the number of hotel rooms block, even whether to hold the event at all. Never has the cost benefit ratio is the subject of a Closer scrutiny of meetings and events of all flavors. Therefore, many organizers have turned to the virtual event as a solution.

Associations such as the National Association of Broadcasters and case management Society of America, publishers such as UBM and IDG, and companies such as Symantec and Xerox have all embraced the virtual event in their quest for engaging a wider audience. Some organizations, such as the American Diabetes Association, go even further - in 2009 the association to waive its event on the site altogether, in favor of a completely virtual event. While thousands of live events are still alive and well, virtual events are more rapidly growing addition to the trade fair traditional. Online providers such as virtual events Performedia, ON24, and Inxpo are some of these production companies advancing media.

In the typical scenario virtual event, opening and breakout sessions are captured on video on the site. If there is an exhibition hall, a number of exhibitions from suppliers are recorded on video as well. The content is delivered in a virtual event makes this content available on the web for some number of months after the event has ended. The result is that hundreds or even thousands of participants potential can still participate.

The events continue through virtualization harvest a variety of benefits:

1. Participants to stay connected to the event and the host organization, which increases the chances that when time and budget allow they will attend a live event again.

2. Sponsors and exhibitors experience increased traffic and gather new qualified prospects virtualized through their booth, helping the organizers to recruit new members and / or participants.

3. The overall flow of information and ideas is much larger, benefiting the events industry as a whole.

Here are some things to think about as you prepare virtualize your event. First, you should try to do this with your internal staff or outsource? If the prospect of saving money by using existing staff is certainly interesting, will they be able to manage all the disparate elements that go into making this event online success: professional video capture sessions and booth demos, an event attractive and engaging site that provides online registration, monitoring, pay-per-view, and social networking capabilities, the accommodation capacity that can adequately address the requirements of a broadcast such an effort?

When suppliers to vote, learn about the following:

1. How is the turnkey solution - provided the package will cover most needs of the organization or that there will be a complex set of options on the map to navigate?

2. To capture session, will media player is limited to simply show the video of the presenter and blades? A qualified vendor must be able to seize anything visual presentation - software demonstrations, virtual tours, etc.

3. The content will be indexed so participants can go online right points that interest them most?

4. As to the exhibition hall - visitors will be able to see the actual submission of the exponent has been posted on the site?

The bad news is the economy. The good news is that the need for events and information they collect and transmit has never been greater, and virtualization has emerged as a similar hard-working to the on-site entertainment. The question is: if you meditate crevices budgetary constraints on your event, you take the time to consider a bridge not only to better hearing and revenue numbers, but a better case on the whole.

Zero G PHAEDRA VIRTUAL ANALOG SYNTH $179.96 Phaedra is a Zero-G/Xfonic virtual instrument powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt Player 2 and featuring over 4GB of sounds, 20,000 samples, and 720 patches, making it a unparalleled virtual analog synth. Unhappy with the lack of raw sonic power in virtual emulations of VSTi analog synths, producer Sam Spacey set out on a three-year journey to make the ultimate synth. He ended up creating a monster in Phaedra. Constructed with the same attention to detail as a huge orchestral sample library, each of the 20,000 samples on Phaedra have been edited and looped by hand, with loops being very long so as to extract that lovely magic of analog randomness. Nearly every single preset has each separate note sampled so as to eliminate aliasing within the instrument's range. With Kontakt 2's engine being pushed totally to the limits, the result is a sample library that is a full synthesizer in its own right. And it is suitable for use with all types of music and would enhance any music producer's sonic arsenal. Synths used (as described by producer Sam Spacey) Mini Moog D: Was very hard work to sample due to the fact that if you looked at it, it went out of tune. Welsh Moog: A prototype re-issue Moog made in Wales, that had a unique PWM mod done to it. Yamaha CS5L: Very snappy and fast attack and surprisingly bass-y oscillators. Yamaha CS-15: This one was delivered in a terrible and broken state, but sounded great for it. Yamaha CS-30: Sometimes I stacked all 3 Yamahas up over CV voltage for a huge sound. Korg Monopoly: Still getting to grips with this 4-osc howling beast. Korg MS-20: Very quirky with a great filter. Studio Electronics SE-1: Modern rack-mounted Moog that could store presets and stay relatively in tune. Studio Electronics SE-1: as above but with filter input. I stacked these two a lot, as the sound combinations were awesome. Roland SH-101: Wet and squelchy, a really good little workhorse. Crumar Multiman: 70's string synth with Arp filters, surprisingly interesting palette of sounds. Akai AX-73: Cheap and nasty but I love it for that fact; evil filter. Analog Phaser: Home-made, based on the Small Stone that was modded and used by Jarre on everything he did. Roland analog chorus pedal: Subtle but lovely. Ensoniq Esq-1 (the only digital piece used): 8-bit grungy samples going through complete Curtis analog circuitry - I love this synth. Sound Quality All the sounds were recorded and processed at 16-Bit resolution and 44.1 KHz sample rate. Organization The Instruments list groups the sounds into categories. Each category has a different colored GUI, for example the Synth category has a red interface, Leads are blue, Bass are grey, and Pads are green.

Slate Digital Virtual Console Collection $274.99 The Stale Digital VIRTUAL CONSOLE COLLECTION consists of two plug-ins: Virtual Channel (applied to mixing channels) and Virtual Mixbuss (applied to master fader). Each plugin allows the user to choose from one of four meticulously modeled consoles. When using the Virtual Console Collection, your DAW instantly takes on the personality of a real analog mixing desk with all its subtleties and nuances. The imaging and depth improves, instruments sit better in the frequency spectrum, and mixing becomes easier and more musical. You can even push the DAW faders up to find each mixers sweet spot. The Concept: Despite the digital revolution in the audio industry, many of today's top commercial albums are still mixed on analog consoles. Audio engineers rely on analog mixing to provide the nonlinear musical qualities that digital mixing does not produce. "When you mix through an analog desk you get this life and body to the sound that just doesn't happen when you mix inside the workstation. The separation and imaging from the analog summing is very apparent, especially when your track count gets high" remarks mixer Jay Baumgardner (Papa Roach, Evanescence). Over the past ten years, multiple audio manufacturers have produced simplified analog summing boxes that allow DAW users to get the benefits of analog mixing without having to use a full fledged analog desk. In 2001, Steven Slate made his mark in the analog summing world by commissioning Roll Music Systems to design and manufacture a custom analog summing box that was later named the Folcrom. The Folcrom continues to be one of the most popular analog summing boxes on the market, used by mixer Mike Shipley and other top names. Now in 2011, Slate once again stirs up the analog summing world, this time in the digital domain. "Slate Digital CTO Fabrice Gabriel and I studied these consoles inside and out. We meticulously modeled the entire circuit path so that we could recreate every subtle nuance that makes these consoles the legends that they are", says Slate.

Fast envelopes and precise oscillators confer to the Roland Jupiter-8's sounds its famous versatility.A Virtual Instrument with Innovative AdditionsWith the Jupiter-8V virtual instrument, Arturia brings this magic back while adding a new generation of features to the virtual Roland synth opening a unique and contemporary sound palette:The virtual instrument software's Galaxy allows the user to choose from different LFO types and intertwine them together into a single unique modulation source, giving a new evolving element to the sound of the Jupiter 8.The Jupiter's step sequencer is also an assignable modulation source, which allows for easily generated patterns to be used to control the many interesting parameters of the virtual instrument's sound.In addition to the step sequencer and Galaxy modulation sources, each voice of the virtual synth now has its own suite of creative effects, which can be inserted into the main synthesizer signal path in each voice.
