Cherry effects?

The Cherry Audio synth simulations are so good that I would encourage Acoustica's sister company to replicate effects as well. I think there's a market there for sure, especially with UAD stuff running about $300 a pop.

Interesting, i didn't know there is a connection between Cherry Audio and Acoustica, and now I can't help but wonder why don't they use the resources they have for Cherry Audio to create custom effects and instruments for Mixcraft to make a more coherent package.

Hi,

Cherry Audio was born out of those guys' love of synth hardware. They actually own the hardware that the virtual synths were inspired by. Making a de-esser or a flanger doesn't inspire the same passion in them.

There's also the issue of manpower. How much incentive do we have to recreate all the EQs, compressors, and so on from scratch when we can bundle third-party effects? Do we pull people away from working on Mixcraft to work on effects?

As the company grows, that could all change in the future, but that's where we are now.

With that said, i think it would be nice to bundle Mixcraft with a few "homegrown" instruments (or effects) to have a seemless integration, things like the ability to edit micropitch in the pianoroll, or to right-click on the instruments' knobs to create automation and so on.
