UAD is making promo video, why sonic core is not??

[bosone]

look at the UAD site
http://www.uaudio.com//uad-2/

they are promoting UAD-2

why S|C is not making something like this??

[the19thbear]

exactly my thought!!

It almost makes me want to dump SC stuff and try the UAD cards!
bu then again.. not

[garyb]

time and money...

[alfonso]

Well, practically they don't say anything more than raving about themselves and the new (for them) Analog Devices chips....I don't see that much money or time involved in that spot....sure a good thing is understandable English though...

I'd say that a video made with Gary, who has a great image appeal i.m.o., who interviews Jimmy about his rig with Xite and then shows the recording features would punish severely all the contenders....that dog would hunt!

[bosone]

+1

[dawman]

Yeah.....Why not. We could all the share the extra costs of the promotions and pay more.........NOT.

It is our duty as warriors of Scope to spread the word.

I shall start right now.

All Scope Guys In Austrailia......I have a guy who would love to hear a Scope card, and he is currently a live notebook Gigastudio guy down under.

Who would help me get him to buy into our sick world of zero latency and high quality synths.......Please Respond......He is killing me w/ email requests.

Wayne, Shwahwks, Husker..................Anyone ?? I am dead serious........as he's really bustin' my BALLS over at NS Forums, where the VST moderator / developers are really sick of me !!!!!

I got it.............A long distance view of Mount Rushmore from miles away.

Zooming in reveals the faces of the Founding Fathers @ Soniccore and Ralf. Fade out/in to a pic of GaryB at his store in SoCal full of people who can't play demo'ing every keyboard at the same time very loud, and asking stupid questions to a sales rep in the background.

Then a live shot of the only person singing into a Scope card with her no onderwear high shirt outfit, naturally, a low angle shot revealing some early morning dew, and the boys rockin' out in the background. Yeah.......that's the ticket. The Casino would probably help pay since it's a free ad for them. We could even talk my buddy Ron, the Entertainment director into using the Marquis outside that says the bands name,,,,,,,,,,,Which BTW is called " Fine Trim ", ( we were going to call it 99 cent Draft Beer, a bare naked ladies type of thing ) but political correctness stepped into the fray at the last moment. Big bold letters instead of the 6'.99 Prime Rib Specail, and it'll say....Tonight at the Top Of THe Wheel Lounge.........Fine Trim. The Brotha's Be Flockin' In 4 sure.

She is a former runway model with the largest set of lips known to mankind, and she sings her ass off. Her smile melts men and many women too !!

[kylie]

is that one of the former x-mrs-xite4live's on that photo?

[dawman]

Yepp. Scope4live Jr.'s Mama.

If she wasnlt such fine trim, there would be a bounty on her head. She can hardly Boil water,....but oh well.

She still needs her lyric sheets from years of Marijuana abuse.

[kylie]

She can hardly Boil water

ugh!

[hifiboom]

again sharc chips.

its like a soniccore box without all the nice add-ons... routing , mixing, ins and outs, etc.

would be interesting to know which chips they use...

the promotion video is just standard marketing "blabla" "its the best ...", "....".
I`m glad soniccore doesn`t add such a video on their page. lol

so i agree with alfonsos statement, its just raving without real facts.

Actually we know much more about the xite-1 without having such a "great" promotional video.

On the other hand I have the opinion, UA does a more consequent job with there 3rd party suppliers: Roland, SPL, etc. And they frequently release carefully designed emulations.

[nightscope]

would be interesting to know which chips they use...

"The SHARC ADSP-21369 processor is a member of the Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) family of signal processors that feature ADI's Super Harvard Architecture. It is a 32-/40-bit floating-point processor optimized for high-performance audio applications with 2Mb on-chip of SRAM and 6Mb of mask-programmable ROM, and multiple internal busses to eliminate I/O bottlenecks.

The processor uses two computational units to deliver a significant performance increase over previous SHARC processors on a range of signal-processing algorithms. With a 400 MHz (2.5ns) core instruction rate, the SHARC ADSP-21369 performs at 2.4 GFLOPS/800 MMACS."

Yabbs dabba doo. Like I give a flying fujitsu.

WILMA!!!!!

PS Promo videos are the height of bad taste. Tho this is quite good. Click here to see some serious pussy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8

A xite Video would be really really nice to show People what Scope can do.The biggest problem is...and i encounter this sooo often,most people think it is a soundcard...
They dont know about different mixers/Synths,and Routing.Ua does milk the hype so incredible good.And uad cards always sold very well.The plugins are very good,there isnt 1 plugin that i can call mediocre.If they include low latency like scope does....and may even add i/o.That would be a "not so good" factor on the xite.
Soniccore needs to step up in marketing by a long shot.They have great Products,we all know that...but other people mostly dont know more than it is a dsp soundcard with "some plugs".Hell how hard/expensive can it be to make a cool xite video to show it on a site like gearslutz? That site is so full of users....If people see the amazing resources of scope..man they would drool to get it.

[dawman]

Their cards are still w/o I/O's also. I assume that they made a new " Compensation Plug " that comsumes 2 SHARCS just to blend with another app that has latency. Instead of burning new trails, they are still kissing VST ass, and the Scientists in white coats, as if they were handling radio isotopes is so cool. They grabbed a janitor and told him wear some gloves and go sit by the magnifying glass.

A picture from the outside of a building where their office exists was so smooth. I bet they have leased a space for one year just in case sales don't reach the projected target date.

Well they won't even have product out until NAMM '09 at the earliest. All they have done is to exite ( no pun intended ) the market by proclaiming how excellent DSP programmers are, and compliment S/C by using the Analog Devices SHARCS.

And they don't even have a PlanetZ forum where so many comrades share ideas and stupid pics and vids w/o some moderator blamking out the forbidden word " ass ", " shit " and especially " trim " or " pussy " as in the awsome video from above. They are just too boringly serious. If we even do such a useless video, it should be like a reality show or something. But showing a bunch of balding white men talking shit, with the only foriegner ( non-caucasian ) actually doing any type of work, is quite mediocre at best.

I'll go on Jerry Springer and fight and scream in public with my X about which plugs to use on her vocal mic, and how she wants the front pre mic on XITE-1 instead of the cheap good sounding FMR Audio mic pre.....You know real world shit.


As The Good Admiral Yamamoto Once Said About SonicCore..............................................
I Fear All We Have Done Is To Awaken A Sleeping Giant And Fill Him With A Speedier Resolve.

[dawman]

That would be 4 days long

I think the Geico Cavemen would also be excellent.

Show 'em beating on the side of their DAW's that have PoCo and USD cards w/ Cubase.

[alfonso]

I think that what could really be done to show the power is a live session with a keyboard player controlling a couple Modulars and a couple CW Synths plus a Sampler, a guitar player getting in to an emulation, a singer with a microphone, all monitored trough a Mixer with effects, independent routing recording the whole set as multitrack in some Asio app or VDAT or Both. I don't know if the headphones out has an independent module sending to it, which would be great as a stage monitor small mixer could be used too, but that output could be used for 2 stage monitors while the balanced outs going to the main ones, it would be ok also to double the main monitoring for the stage.

Imagine a full live set with monitoring, fx and independent multitrack recording all done by a single rack unit...

Where is he? Australia is pretty spread out. If he's willing to head to Canberra he can demo it here.

[dawman]

Brotha' Man Bassdude. Thank You. Would you be willing to pm me your email? I am a pretty good judge of character and admire this guys zeal. Plus he made a shortcut matrix for qwerty for gigastudio, he reminds me of a young me. I grabbed the tiger by tail many times and never let go. Booking and performing is like war to me. And the only way to achieve peace, is through superior firepower. Hence Solaris and XITE-1.

The wireless mic and monitors are also a good show Alfonso. Our first gig is a 3 day warm up in a dump where Schloid was standing w/ her lyric sheets. It's a dive I chose to do the first gig at to iron out the kinks.

Nothin' but degenerate gamblers, and drunks. The elderly flock there for the 4.99 USD all you can eat buffet, so we will go over like a Reggea band at a Klu Klux Klan Rally, but it's perfect and it's a paid rehearsal. The Marquis out front is about 8 x 12 feet with a giant ad for the Buffet and in little one inch letters it say Fine Trim. Of course I will get some pics to show you what it's like performing for the dead. Most casinos do not allow camera's and cellular communication is blocked out. No such security measures here. The food is really cheap, and quite a bargain, that's why the giant groups of elderly folks come crawlin'.

The gig we will do is 43 stories up in a secluded dance / bar looking over the Lake. I have always played here since 1985. Thankfully it's a whole new crop of fine trim.

DAS made me a custom mixer for the girls a few years back and I use that as it has 6 AUX's and talk back / mute features, and very well designed. But this must have it's AUX's upgraded to stereo when XITE-1 is released. Olive assured me it would be pretty easy. It's perfect for this type of application and his years of live Scope mixing is evident with this design.

I am sure Holger and the guys would want a Scope only ad w/o 3rd party stuff since that is their selling point. I could easily make a project for that, no problemo.

I cannot be associated with anything serious or jive. It must be comical a little bit. Let these other schmucks look like weasels, that's not my style.

I think you and Gary could make the perfect couple of advertisers from the space. The comic strength is automatic when you put together two opposites which are both opposite to the current standard of pseudo-scientists borrowed from the sets of toothpaste advertising, subverting people's mental geometries.

If you add mofo's skills in playing, cool sounds, deep knowledge and a killer product to show.....and maybe Schloidy bringing some fresh drinks in some stupid outfit....people will want to be like that!

yeh, but it doesn't quite spread as far as New Zealand
