Super neat drum effect. The names on the individual modulations maybe don't quite match the effect, but this plugin allows for infinite ways to bring your drum track to life. This especially applies to synth based drum sounds. Just a couple of presets included, but because there are such a variety of drum sounds available, it is a simple matter to come up with your own modulations. It is particularly useful in the punch category making any individual sound stand out.
Not useful if you are trying to emulate a real acoustic sound. The artificial overwhelms.
Read ReviewRefire is a very nice, albeit basic way to enhance digital drums and percussive sounds. Each of the five modules are useful if you just want to quickly dial in some basic settings, such as transient shaping, saturation, additional presence and clipping. My only minor gripe is the pitch knob for the sub module going from 0 to 12 in 0.1 intervals, rather than KNOCK's more familiar keys and accurate fine tune. It'd be a nice option to change that, albeit I'm not a developer so I don't know how hard that'd be to implement.
Read ReviewWhen I download the plugin, I just get a file called "download" with no extension. Any idea why?
Most likely a browser issue. Sounds like the download never gets finished and is stuck in a temporary state.
Okay, I'll try Chrome. Edge is the browser I've been having the trouble with.
Pretty handy tool to spice up the drums and bring some life into them but I am getting weird distortion like noises when enabling either x2 or x4 oversampling in Cantabile. I have to admit though that I haven't tried Refire in any other DAW yet. Is this kinda a known isssue of the plugin or maybe it's just the version of Cantabile that I am using that's the culprit?
Where to copy and paste this file ? Because I can't find it when I try to manage more plugins in FL studio .. I copied into my VST3 plugin folder into my generators into everything and still nothing..
