Isotonik Studios presents EboStudio - Ebosuite

 
RELEASE: OUT NOW

PRICE: £88.00

In recent times we've been looking back at our time at Ableton's Loop event in Berlin with much fondness, it may have now been a while ago but many of the meetings and discussions caught on the fly in corridors and social areas are starting to come to fruition. None more so than the time we met up with EboMan himself for a full on demo of the EboStudio software.

We'd seen video working with Ableton Live before so was expecting a similarly complex process of set up, we were very wrong as within five minutes we were jamming awy to our hearts content adding that extra dimension to our Live set, whilst importantly not straining the CPU.

Our question were many and the answers simple and straightforwards, so we thought we'd share some of them with you!

Q. What is EboSuite?
A. EboSuite transforms Ableton Live into an AudioVisual production suite. 
Q. Why would i need it?
A, EboSuite provides an unrivalled way of integrating video into live shows and music productions. It enables musicians to produce/perform their own visual music and video clips without having to learn about complex video editing or VJ software.
Q, What's the Suite part about then?
A, EboSuite consists of a growing set of plug-ins for video sampling, editing, mixing and visual effects. Currently seven plug-ins are included:
- eSampler - video sampler (trigger and pitch videos live and more)
- eClips - adds video playback to Ableton's Session View.
- eCrossfade - mix video tracks using different crossfade effects.
- eTrackTransform - position, scale and rotate video tracks.
- eComper - compile a MIDI clip to a movie file.
- eSyphon - send video output from single tracks or the master to other video applications through Syphon.
- eConvert - convert video files to Hap codec.
Q, I'd need a high powered bank of computers to run it surely?
A, All video processing is done outside of Ableton Live in the dedicated EboSuite application that runs in the background to maximise performance and reliability. The plug-ins are designed to fit seamlessly in the creative workflow of music producers and performers. Everything that needs to be done to create and perform audiovisual compositions can be done straight from Ableton Live.
So there it is, our first release to fully integrate Video into your Ableton Live Performance!

IK Multimedia's 3D Cab Room Now Free for All AmpliTube Custom Shop Users

Custom Shop users can now access 3D Mic Positioning and other Cab Room features
previously only available for AmpliTube 4 users


March 27, 2018 - IK Multimedia has added 3D mic positioning and other Cab Room features for AmpliTube Custom Shop, the free version of their AmpliTube guitar amp and effects modeling software. Previously only available for AmpliTube 4 users, these premium features are now available at no extra cost to all users.



What's new: AmpliTube delivers a hyper-realistic, full guitar rig experience, and an important part of that experience is found in the Cab Room features. AmpliTube Custom Shop users can now enjoy the unparalleled level of customization, virtualization and flexibility found in the five distinct Cab Room customization sections: Cabinet selection and size adjustment; individual speaker selection; mic selection and placement; room selection; and a mixer section. Each provides mix and match options and fine-tuning controls for a truly immersive reality that goes beyond the physical world.

Users now have the ability to shape their guitar tone in amazing new ways: craft signature cabinet/speaker combinations in an instant, freely move microphones around the speakers in three dimensions, even change the room itself to alter the sound. The sonic possibilities are endless, and never sacrifice the realism and accuracy users have always relied on.



About AmpliTube: AmpliTube is the world's most powerful guitar and bass tone studio for Mac/PC that recreates the entire guitar/bass signal chain from instrument to recording device in a hyper-realistic and intuitive way. It allows players to browse collections of gear models from the world's top manufacturers of gear including Fender®, Ampeg®, Orange®, Soldano®, Seymour Duncan®, Jet City®, Gallien Krueger®, Leslie® and more, plus signature gear from artists like Slash and the late Jimi Hendrix, and works as both stand-alone and as a plug-in for most popular recording software.

AmpliTube Custom Shop is the perfect way to start building a custom virtual gear collection - at no charge - with the ability to purchase additional amp and effects models as needed. Once installed, players can buy individual pieces of gear using Custom Shop gear credits or entire collections with gear credits or currency.

How to obtain: To access the new features in AmpliTube Custom Shop, existing users can download AmpliTube version 4.4 from their IK user area now. New users can create an IK user account on the IK Multimedia web site and download AmpliTube version 4.4 at no cost.
