Thinking of purchasing Spire...
« on: February 10, 2016, 06:15:18 pm »
Thinking about spending the money on aspire today.
What's everyone's thoughts about that synth?
Would love some feedback from you guys as oppose to just reviews you see online. Would like to get a feel for your experience with it.
I'm a beginner trance producer so I'd be using it for those style sounds.

I just started using Spire a few months ago. Im liking it a lot. I still use Massive but I've shifted more towards Spire. I use it mostly for bass and pads right now.

How's the sound engine? Does everything sound nice and warm, full sounding?
How would you compare it to Sylenth?

I've never used Sylenth. Well I've dabbled to see what its about but I just didn't like it that much. I just found Massive a little more user friendly.

As far as the nice and warm sound, I would say yes, but you can achieve that by doing other things too. Might be wise to try a demo of Spire first before dropping the cash on it. I don't really have any cons on it right now, but like I said I've only had it for a few months. I'm still in that loving stage at the moment.

Sounds nice, warm and full as much as you make it sound that way.  ...like with Sylenth or any other synth. :)

...it's kinda missleading to use such a subjective expressions to compare sound profiles of anything as everyone imagines them a bit differently.

It doesn't sound exactly as Sylenth, if you ask that, but awesome in it's own way. Sylenth's high end is a bit more present I'd say, but Spire has much more possibilities and that comparatively weaker high end can be labeled as "smooth" or "creamy" and considered an advantage for a lot of purposes.

yeah if it appeals to you, you should try it

you can always try the demo versions to get a feel about it all

if you're a trance producer, i really recommend the sylenth, massive and serum now, i wasn't convinced of serum but i tried it and it appeals to me now lol
