anyone know if there is a free mac version of Plex around?


No good news from the developer site: "Sorry Mac users, it's Windows only."

Anyway, you could try this...
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Was very nervous about it, but finally bit the bullet and installed bootcamp on my mac last night and it's working great. Cubase and Plex are running smooth. Very Happy

Thanks for sharing that preview and for the sound design tips bzur. Plex is definitely a bit tricky at first, very different method than anything I'm used to, but a cool concept taking lows from one instrument and mixing with highs from another. Should be a good learning experience trying to put something together with it.


Really good news Smile This gives you the opportunity to participate to all next OSCs!

Bzur, that preview sounds amazing. Truly inspiring. I have been playing around with Plex for some time now, have not come up with anything interesting so far.. I will try some more...

That's a pity Sad Anyway, with 48KHz, and 20ms of latency I've reached a quite acceptable situation. The crackles disappear almost completely in the rendered tracks. I'm also obtaining some interesting and usable sounds; the key is: layering, and tweaking the ADSR values. Also, start with a sound similiar to the one you want to obtain - even if slightly different from your desired sound, it could be surprisingly good in the mix, once you got the right reverb and eq.

Here's a preview of my track, hope it could be encouraging for you and all OSCers are thinking to give up this challenge: http://soundcloud.com/bzur/bzur-whispered-shouts-preview


Hi Bzur,

This ckrackling issue comes together with a lack of time. I have to prepare a presentation I have to hold at the end of April. So I wouldn't have so much time as usual for the OSC.

But your preview is showing me that PLEX2 is able to do much better sounds than I expected after my experience.

cheers,
Photonic

Shame about the crackling and general interface issues, I guess that's what happens when there is no synth vote and with it testing on more systems etc.. Shrug But I guess too late to change synth now?

Great sounding clip Bzur, nice with a non-VA sound for a change but I can hear the crackling even in the render.. Sad

Thanks V'ger. Shame for the crackling, but I'm getting soooooo much fun with this fake semi-orchestral track Laughing

I don't think this is FL or Plez causing this. I've tried this before when installing Proteus VX - gave me BSOD too. It simply would not work either. Just like Plex I load it up in FL - the GUI appears for like 5 seconds and then FL freezes and the whole thing goes BSOD.

It's ironic that Plex was selected despite being second choice after Augur because it was supposed to be so solid having been a Steinberg commercial product and recently updated to 64 bit, but Augur could have had less issues than that.. Ah, live and learn. Shrug
