Also free right now is a Bricasti M7 emulation -- really nice from the little I've tried it so far.
It's called "Magic 7", available for download from Wave Alchemy:

Yep, title says it all. It's free until November 15. The other SoundToys plugin I have (Little Plate -- plate reverb) is simply amazing... and I LOVE their UIs as well!
Interesting results from an unconventional approach -- I'll take it! It's not garbage, just quite unusual, and refreshingly so. Flute is already massively underrated as it is :)
I wish there was a worthwhile free Mellotron VST for Mac, that you could record your own samples to... in fact I was looking for one yesterday, no luck.
Have fun with this, @DiodeMcRoy, I would love to hear what you come up with!
Sibelius used to have an extension that scanned sheet music and turned into a .sib file, from where you could export a .midi file and drop that into a DAW for tweaking of performance parameters etc. Unfortunately that has been discontinued, and while I believe you can still download it if you...
It certainly does sound solid when mixed with the drums. The first clip you shared was hard to judge -- I watch a lot of more solo-oriented bassists, and I feel like the tone you're getting is just so different from what they do that it just sounded quite off to me.
Mirrors and glass surfaces of any kind are a major headache. Really disappointed about this, I have mulled over the theory of placing mirrors in a similarly theoretical studio and so far I have found no way to make it work out.
I think sometimes I hang on to a project because I enjoy working on it so much... I really appreciated following the evolution of this one of yours, I think the end result is fantastic!
What kind of Squier bass?
I really like the concept of a PJ bass -- blend the P with the J, if you're looking for more mid-range, roll towards the J pickup!
There is an audience. I feel like a lot of folks doesn't realize that there is a massive revival of "musicians' music" in Gen Z. I wanna hear some! Post it somewhere!
Cut your teeth on an easier editor and move on to the DaVinci freebie or something similarly "prosumer", the results are always going to be more satisfactory.
If you're on mac and just starting out, get a handle on iMovie. It's free and getting a grasp on basic functions facilitates the transition to a "pro" editor rather than jumping right into something like DaVinci.
However if you want a good all-around editor go with DaVinci. The free version is...
