Omnisphere - How's it working for you?

Post by ggalen » Fri Sep 19, 2008 2:38 am

Well, I installed Omnisphere yesterday. I had cleared the deck of work for clients to prepare for the big day when the brown UPS truck came by at around 2:15 PM as it usually does on my street.Took over 3 hours to install, and I fired it up. I got pops and clicks and static on lots of sounds. (3.4GHz Pentuim and 1.5GB RAM. Windows said I still had RAM left to use as Omnisphere was popping away. But CPU was maxing out at times. The "Reference Manual" didn't tell me what the "Multi Browser was", what "Stack Mode" was. I couldn't find the intro video on Disc 1 they alluded to. Didn't see anywhere that if I didn't give the plugin a specific channel from Sonar, I got multi/Stack mode and ended up making huge layered patched that sounded cacophonous. I finally figured that out.That said, I am sure it'll all get worked out and it will be amazing.But Eric seems to be a genius who no longer can relate to what neophyte doesn't know...they need GREAT, step-by-step tutorials for this thing. And a real "getting started" manual for the new users.It'll come, I am sure. Spectrasonics is a great, good-hearted company.What have you found?
