Over the Christmas break, the Production Expert team have been sharing their choices of Product Of The Year for 2019. We each choose one product from 2019 that in our opinion was the outstanding product during the last 12 months. In this article we bring together each of our choices and ask you to choose which one of our choices you prefer the most.
If I am to limit myself to one new product as my pick for product of the year, it is the BST100 Super Overdrive Guitar Amplifier from Nembrini Audio. I am not a guitar player, but I often record guitar players. I have used many of the popular guitar amp/cabinet plug-ins out there. And many of them are excellent. But the BST 100 has that intangible something extra that puts it over the top for me.
If you’ve been traumatized by aggressive crickets in your field recording as Audrey has been, you may want to give Dialogue Match from iZotope, a closer look.
In our roundup podcast episode 400, the last of 2019, Julian, Dan and myself shared our top picks of 2019, along with some suggestions from the community and one of Mike’s choices was the Penteo 16 Pro upmixing and downmixing plugin. and it is his Product of the year.
Post Production Expert Alan Sallabank takes us on a history tour of three decades of post-production mixing, to explain why he’s chosen the Avid S1 as his Product Of The Year 2019
Julian explains why 2019 has convinced him that the best things come in a sealed boxes, and have three drivers. Well they do for now anyway…
I was sceptical at first. I thought this system was promising too much. Could a single microphone along with a plug-in really be able to faithfully model the sound of many of the best and most sought after vintage microphones the world has ever seen? To cut to the chase, it does! There hasn’t been a single recording situation in the last year in which I felt I should switch out the L22 for something different or more capable.
‘Tis the season to get nostalgic so in this series some of the Production Expert team are looking back at their Products of the year for 2019. In this article Production Expert Technical Editor, James Ivey talks about the Patch from Flock Audio.
