#Lounge lizard session vs lounge lizard ep software
The quality of sound output from a computer or a keyboard will be primarily determined by the software that is running on it, and secondarily by the quality of the DAC, output stage electronics, and the like. Personally, I benefit from all three approaches in different circumstances.Ī computer is a computer. And, if you decide that you connect best with a real Rhodes, great. If you find a modern keyboard that feels organic to you, great. If you find a software emulation that speaks to you, great. So, in the end, it all comes down to a matter of taste. I totally agree with thenoodle that every real Rhodes sounds and feels different (I work in some studios with more than one Rhodes for that reason). In fact, Lounge Lizard or some of the better modern keyboards might sit in a particular mix more convincingly than a particular real Rhodes (and I've had a real Rhodes for 30+ years, and have played and/or serviced many others). In the case of modern keyboards recreating the Rhodes sound, it is a fallacy that hardware sounds bigger than software (as it's really all software). None of the many modern keyboards I have played sound particularly bigger or fuller than the many diverse sounds that you can coax from Lounge Lizard. Still others run physical modeling algorithms (similar to Lounge Lizard). Others use classic synthesis (like subtractive or FM), often mixed with sampled waveforms. Many modern keyboards run sample playback engines (in this case, Rhodes samples recorded at different dynamic levels would be switched between or crossfaded between). The first of these (the software) is by far the most important.
Even some of the cheaper Roland keyboards.A computer is a computer. What I meant by 'hardware' is something like the korg SV1 or the Clavia keyboards/synths, anything that recreates the sound of a Rhodes or Wurley.
I don't have version 4, but it looks pretty cool. Which wouldn't really accomplish anything of importance for me. My vote is for Lounge Lizard for the sound range to tweak in on different Rhodes models.and of course without the weight.Ī hardware synth Rhodes? To me, that would be routing Lounge Lizard out your computer d/a and. for me anyway.Īs far as real Rhodes, by the time the late 70s came around, there were soooooo many shops out there that would hotrod your Rhodes for all these strange distinctive sound variations.really expensive back then too. I also used to spend inordinate amounts of time, working with compression and eq to get a session Rhodes in the neighborhood of a "place" in an emerging tracking session or mix. although it's sort of cool that Lounge Lizard even lets you do THAT if you want.

Also, you should keep in mind that I'm not an engineer or a professional musician I just make sounds to force my family and friends to sit through.It's not the accuracy in sound I would query but the fact that it's software, which I always find a bit sterile next to my hardware synths.What is this "hardware synth Rhodes" of which you speak?įor me, no two Rhodes ever sound alike and I for one, don't miss using a screwdriver to adjust the hammers/tines. I think it was made by another company and the bomb in its day, but got bought by AIR. Velvet has been fine with the exception of it being a bit smaller than I'd like. I've had issues with scaling, and other minor technical problems with their stuff that I haven't had with other synths. Maybe I'm just biased because they are perpetually on sale and some sick part of me thinks that proves they're lesser, but in character, tone, and sparkle their synths feel like Stepford Wives - missing a soul. There is something I don't like about AIR's synths in general. Minus that option Velvet is a solid choice at that price point IMO. Had I the choice between the two at the same price I'd go for Sessions. I got a coupon through pluginboutique's rewards program which offered me Sessions for $8.

You should trial them to see what I'm talking about. Lounge Lizard Sessions sounds better but has less flexibility. If you're jonesing for a Rhodes clone like I was, it scratches the itch.
You can get it for $10 on pluginboutique right now, bundled with Hybrid 3, and Minigrand.
