The new Genzler 4 On The Floor just added to my board brings colour to my normally clean sound! There are 4 flavours of sweet overdrive available, Ampeg B15, Vox AC30B, Ampeg SVT and last but not least the Acoustic 360.

As they say – these are wild times…

It is a bit early for a complete switch to the new Silicon Macs, at least for Pro Audio production, but I just had to find out how these little wonders are handling my plethora of virtual synths. And I must say: it works… not like it will in about half a year! I mean, most plugins are Big Sur ready, but not Silicon. And although they work as fast as on the MBPro there is a huge difference when using Logic X with only native plugins.
The picture below shows 32 Tracks with 32 Fabfilter Twin2 synths, 32 Pro Q3 equalisers and 32 Pro L2 Limiters.

Being a power user of virtual instruments, having all available synthesizer plugins in my collection, I must say that these two new additions are first in a real new generation of synthesis tools. Noisy by Expressive E and Generate by Newfangled Audio are such a great source of fresh sounds coming to my ears…
