A Classic 70's Synth
As used on John Carpenter soundtracks, Genesis albums and many others!A Brief History of a Classic late 70’s Synth – The ARP Quadra!
The ARP Quadra was a 61 key analog musical synthesizer produced by ARP Instruments, Inc. from 1978 to 1981.The machine was a four section synthesiser that combined pre-existing products, including the Omni, Odyssey and Solina and consisted of a bass-synth (monophonic), poly-synth (full polyphonic), lead-synth (duophonic), and Solina like analog strings (full polyphonic).
The top three octaves of the keyboard have a mechanical touch sensor that can either pitch bend or impact brilliance and filter. Unique is the flat pedal feature which allows pedaling to dip individual notes and chords a semitone below so they rise to pitch with the envelope’s attack.
The Quadra used the typical ARP orange and black color scheme of the company’s later years including the orange leather end pieces and the clean XLR out for DI console recording.
This is a classic late 70’s synth that was used by: Genesis, Pink Floyd, New Order, Joe Zawinul and John Carpenter… and many more.

80% Off Frei:raum EQ Plugin by Sonible - only a Few Days Left ! $300 Value
The
smart EQ plug-in for audio editing balances spaciousness and unlocks
creative possibilities in the post-production of music and language.
Frei:raum is a groundbreaking smart EQ plugin for just $59 (80% off!).
frei:raum is the perfect tool when it comes to complex or time critical
mixing tasks. The highly specialized signal processing of frei:raum
allows mixing engineers to easily improve the spectral balance of a
whole mix or match the spaciousness of individual tracks in projects of
any size.
This offer is only available until November 15th, don’t miss out!
Features
One plug-in. Three unique tools.
Detail & speed
smart:EQ layer
Based on a unique ability for automatic learning, the smart:engineTM
recognizes disturbing resonances or notches and automatically
calculates individual filters to optimize single tracks or the mix as a
whole. In classical mixing as well as in broadcasting, the smart:engineTM delivers fast high-quality results.
Space & depth
proximity:EQ layer
The
second level comprises the proximity:EQ tool. This level of editing
solves problems created by bad microphone settings or unfavorable
recording spaces. In these instances, proximity:EQ can reconstitute the
spaciousness you originally intended. Whether you need to decrease or
increase the reverb – the proximity:EQ’s separation of reverb and direct
sound gives you the ability to freely adjust the mixing ratio.
entropy:EQ layer
The
entropy:EQ separates harmonic and inharmonic components of your
recording at any frequency range. This greatly simplifies the
postprocessing of impact noise created by drums, guitars and other
plucked instruments. Speech intelligibility, too, can be effortlessly
improved by deliberately increasing noisy consonant sounds.

It’s the smartest version of Ozone yet.
Ozone Family...

Available Ozone 8 Upgrades:
- Ozone 8 Standard Upgrade from Ozone 1-7 (Standard or Advanced)
- Ozone 8 Standard Upgrade from Ozone Elements
- Ozone 8 Advanced Upgrade from Ozone Elements
- Ozone 8 Advanced Upgrade from Ozone 5-7 Advanced
- Ozone 8 Advanced Upgrade from Ozone 1-7 Standard
The Future is Here
Assistance with Control
Master Assistant uses the sonic profile of your audio to help you get to a logical starting point. Because your time is better spent adding your sonic signature, Master Assistant will suggest targets, signal chain, and processor settings, so you can get back to what’s most important—adding that personal touch.
Balance Your Master - Tonal Balance Control
The new Tonal Balance Control plug-in presents industry-first visual analysis and communicates with all instances of Neutron 2, allowing you to reach your desired master faster. Compare your work with track references and genre standards informed by analysis on years of popular masters, achieve a target sonic profile, and ensure your delivery will translate for popular distribution channels.
NEW! Spectral Shaper
Smooth and sculpt problematic and harsh frequencies with the new Spectral Shaper module. Mold your audio by applying frequency-specific dynamics, surgically or creatively, to create smooth, balanced audio. Fantastic for taming percussive transients, Spectral Shaper can tame sibilant hi-hats, harsh vocals, plucky acoustic guitars, and other overly bright mix elements. For a creative twist, use Spectral Shaper across any frequency band to experiment with timbre, resonance, and transient information without affecting other elements of the source audio.
12 Essential Mastering Tools with Component Plug-ins
Ozone 8 Advanced includes twelve essential modern and vintage modules with component plug-ins: Spectral Shaper, EQ, Dynamic EQ, Post EQ, Maximizer (with IRC IV and new IRC LL), Imager, Exciter, Dynamics, Vintage Limiter, Vintage Tape, Vintage EQ, Vintage Compressor. Ozone 8 Advanced comes with each module as a component plug-in, allowing you to use any piece of Ozone independently in your session.
Track Referencing
A/B your master against reference tracks directly within any instance of Ozone or its standalone application. Now an integrated process, track referencing is easy, intelligent, and incorporated into Ozone’s workflow. Track referencing in Ozone allows you to load up to 10 tracks and will identify sections of your reference for easy playback like Verse or Chorus, so you can spend less time finding and more time mastering.
Ozone...meet Neutron
The Tonal Balance Control plug-in not only communicates with the Ozone 8 Equalizer and Post EQ modules, but Neutron 2 EQ modules as well. This inter-plugin communication lets you fix mix issues during mastering and helps bridge the mixing and mastering gap. No more context switching or opening up multiple windows - just tonally balanced, professional sounding music.

Mold your audio by applying frequency-specific dynamics, surgically or creatively, to create smooth, balanced audio. Fantastic for taming percussive transients, Spectral Shaper can tame sibilant hi-hats, harsh vocals, plucky acoustic guitars, and other overly bright mix elements. For a creative twist, use Spectral Shaper across any frequency band to experiment with timbre, resonance, and transient information without affecting other elements of the source audio.
What's new in Version 8?
Intelligent signal processing, spectral shaping, Tonal Balance Control, Track Referencing, new look and feel, and more.
Intelligent Track Referencing
A/B your master against reference tracks directly within any instance of Ozone or its standalone application. Now an integrated process, track referencing is easy, intelligent, and incorporated into Ozone’s workflow. Load up to 10 tracks and Ozone will identify sections of references like a Verse or Chorus for easy playback, so you can spend less time searching through references and more time mastering.
IRC IV You
We know you love IRC. We do too. That’s why we’ve added a low latency mode with all the power of IRC limiting minus the lag. We’ve also improved IRC IV’s low-end fidelity to provide better feedback for a more responsive, smooth limiting algorithm.
Maximum Independence
Transient/Sustain Stereo Independence in Ozone’s Maximizer takes your master to the next level by detecting and separating transient and sustain information for a wider, deeper sonic profile. Transient Stereo Independence reduces pumping, introduces fewer artifacts, and leaves you with more of the sound you want, without narrowing your stereo image.
New Look and Feel
Great experiences are made with great design. That’s why we’ve made workflow improvements across the board. Work faster and more instinctively between mix and master with a similar workflow in Ozone 8 and Neutron 2, with beautiful visualizations, metering, and more fluid controls.

Review:
After playing with this over the weekend I must say it is an awesome upgrade from Ozone 7 if you have the standard or elements edition. If you are a hobbyist or electronic music artist Ozone 7 will probably be all you ever need. However with these extra features in Ozone 8 it will take your mastering to a whole new level while making it easier to diagnose intimate details in your track. If you've never bought an Ozone mastering plugin then this is a no-brainer for mastering- Highest Recommendation! If you have the standard edition or elements edition and are on the fence about upgrading- Get it Now! If you are just wanting to release tracks with minimal work in mastering get Ozone 8 standard or elements. If you already have Ozone 7 elements or standard then this would be a personal choice you will have to decide. Either way the upgrade price on this is worth it while it's on sale.

Multiple Ways To Manipulate The Sounds
“The Forge” offers a unique multi-function take on the classic step sequencer in which the user can choose one of three different options to manipulate the sound, all of which are tempo synced to the host DAW:- Arpeggiator – the order of arpeggiated notes is the order in which you play them
- Polyphonic Sequencer – Works the same as the arpeggiator but all the notes are played at the same time
- Rhythmic Gater – Only affects the sound amplitude.
The Arpeggiator also offers a lot of scope for refining the sound of your sequences, per step you can change the all of the following controls:
- Velocity
- On/Off value
- Octave and semi-tone
