LOGIC USER GROUP FALL 2007 GROUP BUY:

AUDIO EASE SPEAKERPHONE GROUP BUY!


Also including the Nautilus and Rocket Science bundles.

The Administrators of the Logic User Group and software developers Audio Ease (http://www.audioease.com) are pleased to bring you another group buy — by popular demand, we present The Audio Ease Speakerphone Group Buy! Moreover, Audio Ease is also offering reduced prices on its two bundles of amazingly unique and creative effects processors: the Nautilus and Rocket Science bundles.

SPEAKERPHONE
http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Speakerphone/speakerphone.html

There is truly nothing out there like Speakerphone; it's a completely new breed of convolution based environment processor. The heart of Speakerphone is its over 270 speaker impulse responses and 30 room simulations; it is then fleshed out with over 5GB of ambiences, sound effects, and samples, all of which can be processed with it's own distortion, EQ, bitcrusher, gate, compressor, vinyl, modulation, delay, and tuning algorithms.

Speakerphone doesn't simply include a bunch of speaker simulations. You can take your audio and use Speakerphone to make it sound like it is coming through a bad GSM connection (including a codec simulator!) on a busy sidewalk, or a bullhorn with feedback and a helicopter overhead. Speakerphone offers impulse responses for all sorts of speakers: walkie-talkies, distant transistor radios, upstairs TV
sets, bullhorns, cell phones and guitar cabinets. Speakerphone will add dial tones, operators and static, and you can select from a wealth of ambiences on either the caller or receiver's end.

You can record your guitar amplifier direct into your computer, and use Speakerphone to put it inside any of it's guitar cabinets, including your choice of various microphones and ambiance settings.
And all of this through its extremely optimized, Altiverb-based engine that allows for realtime performance without adding noticeable latency to your guitar signal.

Speakerphone is a revelation for audio post-production and sound effects designers, as well as instrumentalists looking to place their instruments inside natural sounding spaces and guitar cabinets.
Please see the Audio Ease website for both video and audio samples of this amazing plug-in!

ROCKET SCIENCE BUNDLE
http://www.audioease.com/Pages/RocketScience/RocketMain.html

The Rocket Science bundle includes three plug-ins that offer unique algorithms, full MIDI control and automation, and easy to use GUIs. The plug-ins are:


ROGER: Roger lets you apply human vowel filters to you audio material. You can select both the vowel, and the "family member" for the process.

FOLLO: This plug-in dynamically adjusts the peak of a resonating bandpass filter according to the level of the incoming audio. Applications of Follo include an autowah on a guitar, and a thumping
resonating bass generator.

ORBIT: Orbit lets you control the virtual position of your sound source. It accurately calculates the sound source's reflections of the walls of a virtual `outer room', using the exact amount of delay
and attenuation for the direct sound and all reflections alike. Use it a s a physicallly correct panner, select from preset source trajectories, or create them yourself via live midi controll or parameter automation.

NAUTILUS BUNDLE
http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Nautilus/NautilusMain.html

Like the Rocket Science bundle, these three unique plug-ins offer full MIDI control and automation, in addition to processing that you won't find in other bundles.

RIVERRUN: This plug-in consists of a Granular Soundscape Synthesizer capable of oozing immense sonic oceans of tiny particals taken from your original audio. It can build rythmic textures, wide harmonic soundscapes, and it can zoom in on your fragment by stretching it by a factor of up to 200.

PERISCOPE: Periscope allows you to look at the audio spectrum via the real-time animating spectroscope, or graphic analyzer, and grab faders where you see the audio happening. Phase correct EQ, with surgical precision, and unprecedented low frequency resolution. Edit modes range from fluent to massively steep.

DEEP PHASE NINE: This phaser plug-in offers unprecedented control and visual feedback. Up to 24 notches per channel, beat locked sample and hold, one-shots, a true phaser (Not a flanger !) done the Audio Ease way.

Be sure to check out the audio samples and downloadable demos of both the Rocket Science and Nautilus bundles on the Audio Ease website!

The success of the group buy is of course dependent on the number of subscribers, while it is not possible to guarantee that the 40% price point can be reached, as many reading this will know, just about all of our LUG group buys have done very well in the past and most did in fact reach the maximum discount offered by the developer.

Please also note, the Group Buy will be calculated in US Dollars. Bearing in mind the current exchange rate, this is excellent news for EU subscribers. Also, as Audioease are based in the Netherlands, if you have an EU address, you will be charged V.A.T. at the dutch rate of 19%. If however, you have a V.A.T. registration number you can use it to avoid paying V.A.T.

HOW TO SIGN UP:

Please use the following link:

 

http://www.audioease.com/cgi-bin/mail_lists/lug_score.cgi

 

From here, you can proceed to sign up for any of the products you wish to buy. When subscribing, you will be sent a confirmation Email which provides a link to allow you to subscribe or unsubscribe. The website also provides up-to-date information about the progresss of the group buy, accessing it allows you to see which price points have been achieved at any given time.

 

Once the group buy is over, payment information will be sent on to each member. It is possible to order Speakerphone either as a download, or on CD/DVD to be sent by post. Both methods are priced the same, but there will be an additional charge for shipping CD/DVDs.

 

Shipping will be as follows:

- Fedex (second day) $33

- Priority (5 to 10 days to US) $13

 

Please note, the download size of Speakerphone is quite large, around 4.5 Gigabytes.

 

Both the Rocket Science and Nautilus Bundles are however quite small, therefore they are being offered as Download only.

 

IMPORTANT!

 

Only one licence of each product will be allowed per subscriber - in other words, you are welcome to subscribe for one each Speakerphone, Nautilus and Rocket Science, but you may not subscribe for two licences of any of the programs.

 

While unsubscribing is possible during the group buy, once it is over, all subscriptions will be considered as binding commitments to purchase. We have never had to ask for pre-payment for any LUG group buy,so far everyone has been very honest about honoring their commitments. We sincerely hope that this will remain the case, and would ask everyone considering subscribing only to do so if they are serious about participating. Payments must be received by Audioease no later than midnight 30th November Pacific time.

 

In order to subscribe, it is necessary to be a LUG member either at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/logic-users/, and/or at
