Jeez is Arturia's website a mess. My offers per the website are: Pigments 7 (exclusive offer) - $99 but I already own it. FX Collection 5 - Upgrade for only $149 again I already own it. Upgrade from V Collection 9 to the V Collection 11 Pro - $349 but I'm only missing AUGMENTED YANGTZE and the new synths that appeared after v10. At the moment though I don't really care as I'm not really using any of their stuff. Something in the last round of updates hosed the Arturia Installer on my Win 11 machine and the installed items. I've consulted with their tech support multiple times and got nowhere, I completely uninstalled everything Arturia including nuking all registry items, Program Data and other files and still the installer hangs. Even when I can eventually get everything to appear like it's installed, it's wonky. I just tried to upgrade Pigments, which was working, and the installer has hung. I don't deny that It could be my computer, which is why I'm in the process of setting up a new one. As things stand at the moment I can't transition most of my audio stuff over until I can budget in the new storage. LOL by that time I do I may find I don't need or want 90% of what I spent the last decade collecting (sacrilege I know, but I'm finding there's something liberating restricting your options). Probably TMI. Happy Holidays! Peace out, Steven

Devil-Loc is a go

Dean, well done sir ! . . . and yes, I compared to the original Floyd (since I wasn't familiar with this one at all) you've done an admirable job getting the sound and feel of this epic sounding song sounding so great. I do miss the days when we could have 6 minute songs, and that was OK, and cowbell was OK. . . or, maybe I miss the days when I actually had time to listen to 6 minute songs over and over again, but I had a bunch of listens and really enjoyed the experience. Super recording quality as well !, thanks for posting your artistry here on the Sonar Forum. Bruce

Can confirm this works (very well) with Massive X Player.

I still really quite like their "The Famous E Electric Piano" and had mainly just thought of them for guitars initially.

The last one they did had no time limit. Was hoping for their Fantasy orchestra but maybe APD will have it again.

That old orchestra is buff.

Do I need another rompler?" Next is to figure out which drive to store the data. Do I give up SSD space or run it off a HDD?

FWIW... I've considered Filterbank my default EQ plug in for decades. The shelving curves allowed me to do things I'd have to chain several eq's together to achieve previously, if that. Looking for color? This ain't it. Looking for straight forward eq? Yahtzee. $29- great deal. Procedes to Dave- no brainer.

He did not "report" it in that sense, just made a comment on it that made headlines in typical fashion. I am sure you have read about it, but didn't make the correlation being referred to (cannot discuss "politics" here).

+1, unless you are doing hefty 3D rendering, you are not going to see a "significant" difference in performance with the higher end models. (I wrote that two hours ago but woke back up to hit send )

I think in all Windows versions you can still access the Sound popup via Control Panel->Sound. In that popup, in the "Playback" tab at the top, highlight the device being used, right click and then "Properties"... in the next popup: Enhancement tab - "Disable all sound effects" Advanced tab - Be sure the "Default Format" is set to what you use for DAW projects. Disable both "Exclusive Mode" options, bottom one first. This doesn't affect what you are experiencing, but causes other issues otherwise. Spatial sound tab - Select "Off" in that drop down box. While the "Recording" tab has similar options (and you can also set those), it is highly advised not to record audio via Windows (at least for now), this is why audio interfaces are used to get audio into a computer. As mentioned above, the Windows Mixer wreaks havoc on DAW usage, so those adjustments will take the Windows Mixer offline.

Thank you

This has come up in few threads, since inserting an ARA plugin as an FX bypasses its ARA functionality in SONAR (and others actually). People loading ARA plugins into the FX bin has caused issues over the years (including Melodyne), because the FX bin has no ARA functionality embedded into it (some will still function without ARA as a "real time" FX but with very limited use, but a Region FX is required for ARA functionality). Since Prism requires ARA, it cannot be supported in an FX bin at all. The reason for this is that the handshaking that makes ARA what it is requires sending audio to the plugin when it is launched (via a clip, track, etc.). Without that, there is no way for the plugin to send changes back to the DAW host (why a "real time" FX chain fails for most functions, even if the FX bin will accept it).

Nicely played!

It's not the price for me. MC8.5 for me ain't broke and so doesn't need fixing; there are no new features I crave. Also, I've read that MC10 CPU and RAM usage is much higher. My ageing machine struggles enough as it is once projects reach a certain size

Intro: (Slate) New Virtu Mastering application - $49 intro price, then $99 (subscription also available) *Intro price ends January 5, 2026 and returns to the original price of $ 99 https://slatedigital.com/virtu-mastering-software/

Yeah, between UAD, IK, NI, PA/Neold and Logic, I'm opto-ing out. 😂

The upgrade to 10.6 is a bargain, especially when it's on sale like it is right now. Check the prices on their website. It's pocket change for what you get. The Pro version is only $10 more than the standard version.

I'm a bit the same with the LA-2A too.. if it was something different I might be swayed.. but I've got plenty of those and some I really like. I'm just not sure if it adds anything worthwhile.

Not likely. I have a hunch the devs are invested in the flat look and wish to maintain more control over the program's look than they had with the old Theme Editor.

I have not. What happened? I thought their daughter found them and reported it.

I expect this to change. The devs probably want to keep color theme editing behind the paywall. Simple text files would make it easy to even twist up a 3rd party color theme editor.

Thanks dude!

Thanks. You say you have this in Mixcraft. I use Mixcraft 8.5, which version do you use? I was unaware of any such functionality other than via Melodyne
