von Philipp Sterczewski Automatically clean vocals with Waves Optimal voice recordings are promised by the two new effect plugins Clarity Vx and Clarity Vx Pro from Waves, which will be in particular demand in post-production. The artificially intelligent algorithms of the Waves Neural Networks technology are supposed to automatically extract unpleasant noises. Time-efficiently, all noise reduction tasks can be performed in a single pass. Noise removal is done free of artifacts and in real time. With only one control, Clarity Vx is very beginner-friendly. There are two modes to choose from: to separate main voices from secondary background voices, or to preserve main and secondary voices. With the Clarity Vx Pro, there is another option to better preserve high frequencies. To gently reconstruct natural reflections of a room, there is another reflections…

FAVOURITE INSTRUMENTS OF THE SYNTHFLUENCERS The channels of YouTubers like Cuckoo, Look Mum No Computer, Bobeats, Retrosound or Espen Kraft enjoy great popularity. For good reason, because the mixture of rousing musical performances, tutorials and wacky sound experiments has a high entertainment value. And it‘s not just since the Thomann‘s Synth Reactor event that it‘s often YouTubers, vloggers and „synthfluencers“ who are the first to try out new hardware instruments. Reason enough to ask some of the best-known YouTubers in this field about their favorite synthesizers. Why did you buy another synthesizer? You already have 7! A saying that I‘m sure many of us have heard in a similar form. Sure, many of us know the „Gear Acquisition Syndrome“ (G.A.S.), the urge to buy more and more synthesizers. No wonder, because each…

by YouTuber and sound designer Bo Nurmi / Bobeats A favorite synth of mine that I‘ve used for a long time is the original Korg Minilogue. It‘s great - not just because it sounds fantastic, but because it has a sound of its own. I haven‘t yet found a synth that can replicate its slightly metallic but still distinctly analog sound. This really makes it stand out in a mix. One technique I like is to use the LFO to control the pitch (at a high rate and low intensity). Then I use the assignable envelope to control the LFO (LFO EG MOD is set to INT for this). With a longer attack of the envelope, you get a slight vibrato that fades into the sound and sounds very nice. www.youtube.com/bobeatsmusic…

by YouTuber and „Mad Synth Scientist“ Sam Battle / Look Mum No Computer My favorite synthesizer is the Korg MS-10. It was the first synthesizer I got my hands on. Since it broke, I learned a lot about how synthesizers work and also how to use them. For me it is the optimum between function and control and just a good sounding, simple synth. When I first got it, I dreamed of upgrading it to an MS-20, and when I finally got the larger MS-20, I realized that the MS-10 already had everything I wanted from a synthesizer of this type. For me, it‘s not about how much a synth can do, but rather how musically usable it is and how good it sounds. And the Korg MS-10 meets all those criteria…
