Scoring Synths by Audio Ollie Review

Audio Ollie’s Scoring Synths is unique. Ollie’s synthesized sounds are distinctive and stand out from the crowd. The place to construct a hardware synth and the recording setup are among the most important elements of this composition. When recording, it started by defining a microphone and multiple different microphone positions and also having different special effects which can be plugged into preamps.

Review Setup and BTS

Firstly, your software synth needs to be a complete performing keyboard or a machine in your DAW. If the synth has any glitches it will transfer over to your music.

A lot of producers do not even consider this factor and simply think if the software is a synth it should work with your DAW or computer. It must work as a stand-alone unit in your DAW and have no issues.

Secondly, the second element of audio ollie’s scoring synths audio ollie review is the recording setup. Yes, we are in the DAW, still use a chain of Kush and other vendor plugins to share the sound and give the synth tones some kush vibe.

If you are using a software synth it will need to be in your DAW in order for you to record audio. Your particular setup needs to have at least one input for instruments in order for you to produce any sound when the synth is playing.

It’s great for an all-in-one tool to demo your music so you don’t need to use the same samples everyone else is using, Audio Ollie has created a unique collection of sounds with this product. Still, when revisiting this article in 2021 and the progressed sample library market I would highly recommend this one as one of the first virtual instruments for Kontakt you get as a starter.

Scoring Synths is still included in the top list of today’s synth for film score, where you need access to these kinds of unique instrument, famous software synthesizers. The priceless vintage microphones re recording and included mics support you in creating a film score.

The overall atmosphere is wonderful and helpful. This book includes very high-level content. It is a very good product for low-end sub-fillers, sub drops, or sub exciters. Scoring Synths are devoted to various musical instruments (patches). The Kontakt Library includes BASS, FX, PERCUSSION, BASS PADS, Synthesizer, SUB, etc. This library contains effects including compression, modality, delay reverb, and saturation. It’s good as there’s the option to make the library as wet as the project demands.

When it comes to recording, it does start with a defining microphone, many different microphone positions and because they are different special effects, all go into a preamp and then onwards to a console and the device (or tape) that is used to record the performance.

The synths have been captured in Studio A – Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios where the producer did have access to their equipment and the vintage hardware (Mics, Effects, Mic Preamps, Dynamics Processors, Equalizers) in the studio. Audio Ollie did send a review copy with no strings attached.
