Cranium Comics has recently launched their first four color comic, Brawn #1.
"I used Comic Life on my Mac exclusively to lay out the storyboards, then later when I created and colored all 24 pages of the issue," recounted Anthony Rezendes, the owner of Cranium Comics and co-creator of Brawn.
The comic 'Brawn' focuses on a dockworker named Sam Ross who was reborn as the hero "Brawn" after he was nearly killed in a drunk driving accident.
"Being an illustrator, it saved me quite a bit of time from having to lay all the text bubbles out manually. It made the process of actually creating the comic that much more enjoyable," Mr. Rezendes added.
We think this comic is great! So check out 'Brawn' on the Cranium Comics site or read the first 5 pages on our Comic Life gallery.
Re:wish list - 2006/03/07 00:04A very minor workflow enhancer would be a Preference allowing you to specify whether or not you want a plugin's GUI to open automatically when you open an instance in Rax.
I like the idea of a basic sequencer, as long as it can export standard MIDI files. I frequently open Rax instead of Logic or Live when I just want to play, and if I have an idea hit, being able to lay down a sequence quickly without having to change apps would be a beautiful thing.
Re:wish list - 2006/03/07 05:39I think that RAX should remain as powerful RACK software, just like it is now. There is no software in the market which satisfy me for the need for software RACKs. V-stack is too expensive and too heavy. RAX has great merits over it since it's small and powerful. I think that if you start to put so many functions on RAX, it will become just one of so many sequencers out there in the market.
But to complete the requirement of the software RACK, I think that REWIRE, multi audio output s, and more MIDI inputs are necessary.
Re:wish list - 2006/03/10 19:10I'm ok with Dano. For the moment I use Audio Hijack Pro, good for multiple audio inputs and outputs but RAX have more possibilities in MIDI (tempo sync, assignable parameters, etc)
Re:wish list - 2006/05/27 05:50A nice feature would be to be able to run RAX as a stand-alone app, but also as a plug-in. Why ? Because it could run "Audio Unit only" plug-ins (e.g. MX4 MOTU) under a VST host (e.g. Cubase) which doesn't accept AU natively. And, AFAIK no wrapper can run AU plugs in a VST host.
It seems that only NI Kore can do such a thing.
To go further, if RAX could run RTAS plug-ins (e.g. Synthesizer One by Mc DSP), it would be wonderful. I agree with the previous comments about no implementing too much features. And I think that a simple but reliable and CPU efficient Universal plug-in player would be a nice piece of software.
Re:wish list - 2006/06/14 05:05what piwhy said! Kore is Krap. i bought it. loads take forever. bugs. etc. would love to see Rax as a VST
RTAS is but a dream i reckon though, Digi has made them impossible to run without the DAE i believe. pity as there are quite a few very nice companies somehow in the grip of digi that make TDM/RTAS only (if it's RTAS it's *native*, duh - why not VST/AU? i have asked this question to all of 'em - Phil Collins sings "No Reply At All"...
Re:wish list - 2006/06/20 03:05I´m very happy and grateful that RAX has finally got an update and has not been abandoned as I feared. Very generous as well to make it FREE for registerd users...... If anything is still on my wish list then it would be multiple outputs (great for using Kontakt in a life context). But it´s already a big step forward. Maybe we see the output wish fulfilled in v2.1?? best regards Raindog
