Absolutely love U-He's stuff. Especially these days that computers are decent enough to run as many Diva instances as you want! Also very much appreciate their free options (Tyrell-N6 was my first soft synth and Zebrelette is pretty damn versatile!)

@leslie1526 Год назад

Love your reviews as always. Really appreciate the fact that you’re honest about your knowledge about the software 😊

@basspartout Год назад

Hive is an absolutely fantastic sounding softsynth and one of my favourites. There are lots and lots of great presets and my favourites are from Howard Scarr, Luftrum and Joseph Hollo.

@dtscape Год назад

Luftrum and, particularly, Joseph Hollo are brilliant. Just something about the sounds they create that just make me smile with, pretty much, every patch.

@ZoeSummers1701A Год назад

Brilliant demo, thanks Woody! ❤

2:12 Propaganda - Duel. Glad I have the Vinyl, one of the most interesting and underrated synth pop bands of the 80s.

@davidseymour6246 Год назад

Haha, you mean Steve Lipson and Trevor were one of the most interesting bands of the 80s! Propoganda (who didn’t even play on that one classic album) disappeared without trace the moment Michael Mertens arrogantly thought they could shaft Steve and Trev and take the “band” away to the highest bidder.

@tonydesmet7389 Год назад

Propaganda's Dr. Mabuse is one of the best songs ever.

@dtscape Год назад

U-he are incredible synths. I love them all. Howard Scarr is a genius sound designer.. I constantly discover new tricks he uses with every patch... Softsynths are a marvellous creation. Thank you for the vid. Wonderful stuff... keep up the fantastic work.

@russ254 Год назад

Fans of Howard Scarr may wish to do a search for his Virus Tutorial manual, "Programming Analogue Synths." It's pretty well liked by those that like that sort of thing . . .

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

great tip,, thanks!

@BirdYoumans Год назад

For the longest time I just messed around with the plugs, and there are tons out there, that were free. I did not spend any money on them because the music I recorded was largely acoustic in nature and synth sounds, tho I love them, really did not fit the genre (country, blue grassy Gospel). But in my retirement, I no longer worry about genre and I just wanted some "new toys" so I dug into some U-he paid plugs because their free stuff was just the best of the best to my ears. I have not been disappointed! Today's music tools are just beyond Disneyworld! And I always enjoy your vids. RU-vid is just an incredibly resource as well for discovering and learning new stuff. Oh, and may I say, Scarr is a beast lol!

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

synth trifecta!

@Indianabones007 Год назад

My favourite software synth. I have Zebra 2 as well and its amazing as well but Hive is so much easier to alter preset to suit your needs..as you demonstrated. It has a great vibe.

@furiobisotti8150 Год назад

I agree with many guys here. U-he synths are great. Some of them are not easy. But the efforts required are worthwhile. There is a good offer now about Zebra2 including dark version and all presets. Zebra3 is close to be released. My suggestion is to stay tuned because it's a wonderful machine. Again, not easy but very inspiring

@pat2rome Год назад

Some of them aren't easy but Hive sure is! Great interface, straightforward instrument. Very easy to build sounds with.

@NaM1k._ Год назад

I hope there’s a crack version 🫠

@ktechjones Год назад

Fantastic demo - when you started playing are friends electric you got me then kraftwerkian style and mike oldfield you got me even more, love the sounds of this synth (and zebra) I have the older version of zebra which I love but you have helped me see that U-he know what they are doing with they're synths and having you play them helps even more with that thought. thank you.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

yes, they really do make a great synth, thanks for the comment!

@gaborb6577 Год назад

Thanks for informing about U-he and finding their Linux free synths

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

@hagartm Год назад

IMHO, seriously the best sounding synth on the market.

@issiewizzie Год назад

Best sounding synth … it’s like saying the best food 😊

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

that would be Indian... :D no question about it.

@SixteenVoice Год назад

@Issie wizzie Yes. Even within the U-He ecosystem that would be pooping a lot on, say, Diva or Re-Pro. But agreed that it is a good soft synth. You will get your money's worth, which is not always a guarantee.

@YanivhmTube Год назад

No.. its just some potential of the real monster - zebra 2

@hagartm Год назад

@@YanivhmTube Hive is a much newer synth and it shows in terms of sound, but speaking of "monsters" (and speaking in terms of sound quality) I have high expectations for Zebra3. 🙂

19:10 Wow. Spacelab intro by Kraftwerk... :) ...with touch of Tomita. :D

@DJAMAYADOTCOM Год назад

I love HIVE, and it's hidden wavetable/FM capabilities are great and the CPU useage makes it hard to resist to use on every track

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

i feel the same way!

@steveanimatrix3887 Год назад

Scarr did a lot of the amazing factory access virus synth sounds going back to the first one.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

great pickups, yeah the price was right over on NI.

@shmish Год назад

22:13 I think you could make a 12 minute ambient track playing that patch. An incredible display of amazing sounds. I have no idea how they would fit into any music I try to make but I love hearing Woody play them.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

thank you doug, yeah some of these are truly instant one-patch-tracks :D

@berryeggen1904 Год назад

You should checkout the 2 soundbanks (AERA and ISLA) by Jan Morgenstern of Treeswift for Zebra. They are fantastic! And his explanations about the Sound Design of the Sounds in ‘Jan’s patchwork Corner’ are invaluable in understanding how such top-notch sounds are created.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

thanks for the recommendations, i'll keep that in mind, thanks for sharing.

@Teeb2023 Год назад

That "bum note" at 17:18 is actually rather effective. It left quite a tragic sounding chord. :)

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

haha, you are totally spot on, i realized and let it ring!

@co.agmusic Год назад

17:55 very impressive

@lovingpeace9715 Год назад

@rodnee2340 4 месяца назад

This is my favourite synth! The possibilities are endless. Edit Zebra 2 is definitely worth the trouble of getting to know it! It's a modular design and has some great features. Hive 2 is more versatile though and can sound nasty or ethereal. Zebra is more subtle.

@Br00sta Год назад

Loved this episode Woody, actually I was thinking maybe you could do a very basic beginners tutorial on how to play some of the 80s tunes like the ones in this? I've got the Forever Young one down well enough to have fun with it but I'd love to be able to play some of the Depeche Mode and Gary Numan stuff and any others. Just like 3 note chords type of level? I mean I know I could probably figure it out eventually but I usually end up getting side tracked when I've tried in the past!

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

that's a splendid suggestion, thank you! i tried to do this a number of times, but these lesson style videos never get many views or engagement, but I will keep experimenting in case I can find a format that works.

@LFOVCF Год назад

Awesome video Woody! Great display of those patches. Anyone get instant STAR TREK NG beam up vibes and tractor beams at 19:25 onwards in those reverb tails?

Hi Woody thanks for another interesting and informative video. I've been getting to know Hive 2 and your overview really helps. Are you aware of the new Zebra Legacy deal from U-he? It's Zebra 2 plus all the preset banks and even the HS version at a very reasonable price until Zebra 3 is released.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

yeah, been keeping an eye on that, would love to try it at least :) thanks.

@Nightowl427272 Год назад

Zebra 2 is definitely a bit complicated, I rarely reach for it because I’ve found that unless I keep using it frequently I forget how to. That’s why I love Hive 2.

@annother3350 Год назад

I use zebra a lot but Hive 2 sounds great 'out of the box'

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

H2 seems to deliver the same kind of sounds as zebra but with a simpler architecture and ui, so great choice.

@nigelreadon8381 Год назад

Hi, you tried the Vital VST, if your into sound design.....as alot of preset as well. Helm, but i think that more like a MiniMoog.

@StargateMax Год назад

It has a shitload of presets! :O It took me many hours to go through them all. :D Lots of junk as well (the hardstyle EDM people would disagree, lol), but luckily there are several great patches to use or dev sounds from.

@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene Год назад

14 years since my divorce and the loss of my entire music studio, I have finally completed my new/next 100% hardware studio for recording in 2023. The studio fits in a space of 152x243 centimeters, but my living space is only 60 square meters. I am wondering if 100% inside the box with four 61 key controllers' stair-stepped like an organ manual would have been better? But after watching you mouse around on a screen; I realize I made the correct decision. When a synth can be controlled with a computer touch screen with ease and accuracy, I will sell all my gear and go into the box.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

yeah, fair enough, that's always the drawback with software, and mapping up controllers doesn't work well imho.

@pennywise5095 Год назад

I bought zebra 2 plus dark zebra 11! Years ago thinking zebra 3 would come. I didnt like programming zebra 2 so i hoped 3 would be better but its been 11 years my patience is running out. I did like the sound of zebra 2 and its presets but i regret my decision as you can imagine.

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

i've tried the zebra demo and it sounds very similar in character to hive, yet hive is more approachable for programming. that's my take on it.

@jefferyjohnson6684 Год назад

I just need an honest answer anybody can answer it what you considered this VST better than omnisphere🤔

@WoodyPianoShack Год назад

well it has been on sale for $75 compared to omni at $500, so hard to compare. omni is more of a rompler using samples, whereas hive is a pure synth, so hard to compare them both, i would say they both sound equally good from what i've heard.

Favorites are super useless, I just keep a backup of my original preset directories, and then make my own preset directories so I can categorise things.
