Earthlings beware! VirSyn’s TERA has landed!

Well fellow music makers, I’m here to tell you that as an old (ish) and experienced user of audio producing software, nothing quite prepared me for what VirSyn (the company) TERA (the VST compatible product) has to offer. As an opening opinion, I can quite comfortably say this is the best sounding softsynth I have ever heard.

Software Review: Orion Platinum

Orion Platinum, the new release from Synapse Audio is the most powerful edition for the true enthusiast. Every part of the program has been enhanced with new and exclusive features. Chris Pefanis puts it through the paces.  
 

CD Review: Sipho Gumede - From Me to You
