In my view the Genos Speakers are tinny and a rip off.
Using the Genos is great but it sounds does not compare with the quality of VST 3.
The Best thing that Genos is great at is the Saxophones in my view and you have everything in one box which can only be good if we do not have a million pound studio.
I find you have to eq artifacts out of Yamaha strings to clean them up, the same with Choirs as an example.
When recording on the Genos it leaves loads of partial notes all over the place in a style which can cause glitches in the sound that you are hearing .
This is because the Genos is a machine and if you do not hit a chord right on the nose , you get partials that spread all over the place and unwanted gaps.
If you put a recorded song in Cubase and look through the Style backing you will be surprised at the amount of flack in there.
You have to highlight the whole song that you have made and give a note length (very small) and hit clean. After that you have to quantize to tighten the gaps.
This is the way to get clean recordings
For those who want to experiment in the sound department VST3 is the way to go and you do not have to work so hard to EQ and compress etc
For people who are not fussy about recording and playing that is ok,
For people who want to go deeper your expectation of quality gets more important.
Since i have been learning to mix and try to master with Ozone and a touch of Gulfoss, i am understanding a lot more about sound and stereo arranging
I found with a song that i was doing , i was hearing a lawn mower sound in the strings which annoyed me (
i know that my perception of a lawn mower sounds strange )and once the frequency is found, it can be pulled out of the mix.
it has taken me a long while to use EQ to fix problems instead of changing the sound and only use compression wisely.
it is great learning and to me going foward is enjoyable, but sometimes it gets like snakes and ladders
All the best
