ARTURIA ANALOG LAB REVIEW PRO

For example, say your Pro Tools session is set at 80 bpm and have the LFO Sync checked, most of the presets will match the rhythm but they wonвЂ™t really sound like the original.

ARTURIA ANALOG LAB REVIEW UPDATE

The latest update has quasi-fixed most of the rhythmic patches but theyвЂ™re still really glitchy. The performance presets with sequenced patterns have an issue however. That makes life a great deal easier to find the right sound to find that one preset to fit the type of song youвЂ™re playing. One of my favorite things about the interface is they have the presets categorized by type but the icing on the cake is that they even go as far to describe the feel of the presets by category.

The graphical part of the interface is very sleek looking, a very good match to its hardware counterpart. I just wish the crashes didnвЂ™t completely kill my entire Pro Tools session. The only issue is that the behavior of the vintage synths have found their way into the plug-in by constantly crashing, but with a new program, this is to be expected. TheyвЂ™ve somehow found a way to perfectly emulate the classic analog synths and to add to the vintage feel while still masterfully integrating into modern day applications. They fit perfectly in the mix with very very little to no external processing. You can find almost any preset for ANY style of music. I pray youвЂ™re not using headphones unless you like that ringing sound that soon follows high SPL blunt force trauma.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s really a shame because the presets are quite remarkable. Changing presets is like playing Russian Roulette with your ears because you never know what horrible pops, clicks, or just god-awful noises you will get at preset changes. This program is $249.00, which you would think for that price you would be getting a better quality, stable virtual instrument but alas as a plug-in, it performs sub-par at times. IвЂ™m using this program as a virtual instrument in Pro Tools 9 so this review mainly focuses on it as a plug-in and not the stand-alone version BUT from what IвЂ™ve used on the stand alone version, it is extremely stable with the exception of the noise in the preset changing which I will address later in the review. IвЂ™ve owned Analog Factory for a while now so when Analog Laboratory came out, I had high hopes. There are several bugs in the system that can be a bit tricky to work with. IвЂ™ve been waiting to do this review for a while to give Arturia ample time to get this program on the road.
