![]() ![]() It’s also a good collection for ‘song writers’ who just want to smash out quick and simple demo tracks. Plenty of ‘variety’ to get a set-up for pretty much any style/genera of music as a live keyboardist. Nice at getting a good live mix from (can even do something different for Monitors VS Mains), and detailed enough to lay warmly in a grove, or sparkle during ‘featured riffs’ in live settings, yet not so brash that they give your sound guy FITS trying to carve out space for all the other instruments/voices in the mix. They are easy/inspirational to browse and audition. It kind of depends on what sort of sounds you’re hoping to aquire, and how you’ll be using them (Live Performing? Trying to do full orchestra Mock Ups? What style/genera of music? Etc…).Īs a bread and butter pallet for live performances…I’d rank HALion sounds among the best. I think there is also an ‘upgrade path’ from Collections to full H7 should you decide ‘later’ you want the heavy Editing/Creation tools.įull HALion 7 includes the sounds, but also gets you into ‘heavy editing’ and ‘content/library’ creation.Īre the sounds good or worth the money? To me they are for live performing or doing quick mixes even though there are thousands I’ve yet to touch/use, but this is a subjective thing. You could get Sonic Collections instead of full HALion 7, which will add quite a bit of new sounds. In fact, I still have some hosts that don’t support VST2 (Sibelius and Finale), so I’ve pointed them to scan this directory so I can keep using my HALion sounds in them. ![]() The dll for the VST2 version of Sonic 3 SE will still be located in “%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Steinberg\Shared Components\HALion Sonic SE” should you need that dll again for some reason. The old HALion Sonic SE directory will still be there until such time as you manually move/remove it. “%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Common Files\VST3” and move the new HALion Sonic.vst3 directory elsewhere. If you want to go back to Sonic 3 SE on a Windows system, simply go to: The good news on this one is that Sonic 3 SE is not fully uninstalled from the system if you take the Sonic upgrade in Steinberg Download Assistant, so it’s not very difficult to move some plugin wrappers around and get Sonic 3 SE back if you find you really need it for some reason. I haven’t had any problems loading old projects in Cubase, nor in Dorico. Are you asking if you should take the latest free player upgrade for Cubase, or stick with Sonic 3 SE?įor me the newer v7 one works better (UI is more snappy, media bay is improved). ![]()
