The first tape sim pack is already garnering some widespread use and hot on the heels of that release is the second of eight packs.
This is a package of the first machine but a different tape emulation.
Tape sim is a series of eight packs aimed at simulating the sound of tape. Sampled at 192 khz and 96 khz it gets you there without the hassle.
Get the package here on my new dedicated website for Nebula presets.
Get it Here .On special at HALF price for a month from today.
Any issues let me know. Best wishes. Henry
Vienna suite is a host of plugins made by the superlative samples producer VSL. I have been a VSL user since the early days when they only had the full library in Giga format and since having moved to Vienna instruments I must say the company has remained at the forefront of the most realistic sample libraries and also innovative software solutions for orchestra emulations.
The Vienna suite is comprised of in their words – ” ten high-precision audio processing
plug-ins for mixing and mastering on all major 64-bit and 32-bit
host DAWs”.
These plugins are of the highest quality if transparency and total respect for the integrity of your audio is paramount. Make no mistake, just because these plugins are made mainly for VSLs own orchestration packages does not mean that they are useless for general mixing. They are laden with highly useful presets and great starting points. I shot them out against my Sonnox dynamics plugin and IMHO the compressor came up trumps although Sonnox is more feature laden. The VSL comp has a clearer rendition with no distortion in opto mode.
Both eqs are wonderful in their resolution and the mastering EQ rivals many plugins costing many times the price of the whole package. They seem to neither add their own character nor distort the signal. Simply massaging it in the chosen direction. My GML 2032s are getting jealous because they cannot work ITB and sound as transparent.
The panner makes true stereo liberation a possibilty in my Sonar DAW. Channel tools may see less work from now on.
The Hybrid Reverb is the best convolution reverb I have in my arsenal. I have waves IR1, Gigapulse,Reverberate, Perfectspace and others and this reverb sounds incredible against them.
The rest of the tools are icing on the cake.
The best part about the Vienna suite is that you get THREE licenses on purchase. In other words if you buy three Vienna keys ( USB elicenser by Steinberg – £20 each ) you can put a license on each key and have one for a workstation, one for the laptop and one as a spare in case anything happens.
Highly recommended. € 475 download. £ 420 boxed. VSL site
This is to test whether I can post using the android app on the move
I have been working on a re-issue of Our Zimbabwe for a while now. This is an unmastered very rough version for those wondering how things are going. Final mastered release will be early/mid December for those who cannot wait for the 10th anniversary in 2011.

Just posted a short ten minute tutorial on using q-clone for those interested.
Q-clone tutorial from Henry Olonga on Vimeo.
I have updated my Webstore
with a few new Q-clone libraries including a whopping with all my libraries. About five and half thousand presets in total to cover almost all colour additive mixing conditions. Used with a regular high quality eq for notching like the Sonnox eq you should be able to create very analog like sounding mixes. Used in conjunction with nebula, your mixes will just shine.This is a generous £40 for all my presets which is a 20 % discount.
I also have also added another six products A subtle Neeve eq, Colour mix pro which is an expansion of my original free set to 2000 presets.Two Pooltechs, Silky mastering and mixing shelves a Passive eq and my original Smooth and Superlative eqs remain.
Enjoy
Well you may have noticed the new design.A very talented web designer Paul Cowley did this in case you were wondering.
