However, as a consumer in the 21st century, I appreciate a well made product and I write reviews on things all the time, both good and bad, and I also rely heavily on other people's opinions when making purchasing decisions. It's a beast in every sense of the word, and my head was swimming for a few nights while I absorbed what Zebra2 is actually capable of: MILLIONS of sounds.Ģ) I don't work for u-He! This is not an 'ad". maybe the only weakness is that it takes a couple of days to learn and maybe a lifetime to master. I'd have to think about that for a while. Although, if you were to ask me what Zebra2s weaknesses are. I am not dissing on any one brand, or model! Every synth has it's pros and cons, capabilities and limitations, and Zebra2 is no exception. Also, there are a LOT of QUALITY VST synths out there that can produce excellent results. Do your homework! I am very happy I got the synths that I got, and I do use all of them, but I also feel like I wasted (some) money because I should have gone with Zebra2 first and not last. Different synths have very different work flows, and they also sound different as well. If you are thinking about buying something, try it out, ask other people etc. However, before I talk about Zebra2, I just want to state:ġ) Everyone has their own favorite synths, so don't take my word for it. So, I just want to do a bit of a review here on Zebra2, hit some of the main points, and hopefully save you some time and money if you are on tight budget. Fortunately, I was WRONG! I finally found a synth that really does everything I want, the way I want to do it, and the name of that synth is Zebra2. I love them all, but there is a special place for Zebra2 in that list: #1.Īfter spending a LOT of money, and looking for multiple synths to do various different things, I thought that a single synth that can do everything I want, the way I want to do it, was simply out of reach because it didn't exist. The synths I have licenses for include Explorer II by Rob Papen (a LOT of bang-for buck-there!), Cyclop, Massive, FM8, Sylenth1, DUNE and Zebra2.
For example, FM8, which is a frequency modulation synth can do radically different things than Massive, which is an analogue-style wavetable synth.
Over this time, I have learned a tremendous amount about sound design, but I've also run into both the benefits and limitations of several software synths and, as a result, decided to buy several synths to cover various duties. Over that time I have tried out a bazillion plugin demos, watched dozens of tutorial courses, scads of YouTube videos, and have actually purchased and used several very different VST synths.
PREFACE: I have spent the better part of the last 6 months transforming from a guy who didn't know jack about sound design, and did some half-ass work in Reason 5, to a much better producer in Ableton Live who now knows quite a bit about sound design and work flow.
