Plugin Boutique WaveOSC Wavetable Synth $10.00 + Free Gift (87% Off) https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/4-Synth/10929-WaveOSC

Switching Cakewalk to WASAPI Shared is honestly the most stable fallback these days, especially when you're juggling multiple USB devices and trying to keep OBS happy at the same time. Glad you got it sorted!

Have you considered experimenting with different AI tools for music production?

Great tip! Would've been handy for me prior to the last IK Group Buy!

Thanks for this tip. I have had one license for the Lurssen Mastering Console since 2020 and another since 2022. I made the erroneous assumption that my T-RackS 6 MAX (2025) included all of the T-RackS Modules I had licenses for. But thanks to your tip, I saw I did not have the Lurssen Mastering EQ, I clicked some buttons in a few places, and now both the IK > User Area > My Products webpage and the Modules Manager show I have a license. I can't explain it; and TBH, when it comes to IK's MO, I have given up trying to understand what they do and why; just saying, "Thanks."

That's in the linked thread.

Amber wolf, have you considered using your post as an ai prompt and see what you get?

Yup! Ran Modules Manager the first thing after T-RackS 6 came out. Now that I have MAX, doesn't matter as much, but nice to only enable the T-RackS plugins I actually still use!

Pretty cool. I have the T-RackS-6 Intro (free) version and ran the Modules Manager. When I opened Sonar the Plug-in Manager showed that 57 plugins were removed.

Bump for day 8.

Regarding @Carl Ewing's visual comparison of channel strips, I really like the most recent iteration of Eventide's UltraChannel. There are knobs, buttons, and sliders, and they look enough like those things for their functions to be clear. However, there's no imitation 3-D stuff, no drop shadows or reflections. I think it fits between the bx and the Softube. I don't like the Softube, I don't really want to learn a new control paradigm, knobs and sliders are fine. I just prefer the flat look over the 3-D. No offense intended to those who prefer them (even I love my T-RackS processors), but those screws and 3-D controls feel like 70's simulated woodgrain to me these days.

You'll find Modules Manager in C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\T-RackS 6. Run it and you'll likely be delighted to see what it does. Background/tl/dr: I had read the blurb about T-RackS 6 before I Bumble Hundled it that mentioned that they had added the ability to only install the modules you own (or wish to install). The spamming of unowned modules is a longtime complaint about T-RackS. By default, they dump every module in the line into your VST3 folder, which causes them to show up in your hosts' plug-in lists with no indication as to whether you own licenses for them or not. So two types of clutter, both hard drive and visual. In the past I solved this by creating a "bullpen" folder where I would move unowned modules until such time as I acquired licenses for them. I expected this ability to be part of the installer or built into IK Product Manager, but it's not. Weeks later I was doing some cleaning work on my C drive and poked around in IK Multimedia's programs folder. That's when I discovered Modules Manager. Modules Manager allows you to see what licenses you own and choose to only install those modules. IK seem to be still into the idea that you (or they) want to dump the unlicensed modules onto your system, and some of the design of this tool reflects that. So you need to be careful when using it. When you first run it, select "Show All" in the left column. Then you can look over on the right and see the ones you own and the ones that are only available as trials. Toggle the button as appropriate for each one. Then click "Apply Changes" down at the bottom. This will remove unwanted modules. What to watch out for is that the next time you run it you may get a message about how your installation doesn't match your preferences. Do NOT click yes to this dialog. If you do, it will reinstall all of the modules you previously excluded. It's a useful tool, you just have to keep an eye on it.

Hey Carl, I have to say of the 3 versions you posted for me it's- 1. SSL- exactly the type of interface I enjoy! 2. Brainworx- not as elegant as the SSL but still has good seperation and legibility. 3. Softube- the type of interface I tolerate....a huge black background with a little grey here and there and some small white lettering and invisible sideway faders for manipulation. When it gets past 3, you know full on circus peanuts and spongebob I'm out!

Wow, $129 for a refurbished 4i4 is a great price. I like refurbished gear. It often means that it was either an open box return or a warranty return due to whatever factory defect (defects happen) that has been recertified (and repaired if necessary). So what? Well, whereas final QA on the manufacturing line is performed by people who just connect it to the test rig and push a button. Go or no go. And these days, often/usually done in China. Returns are usually processed by higher level technicians who know how to make repairs and adjustments. And depending on the company and the individual unit, it might be done in the US office. So such units can end up being very well gone over.

Here's a tip for anyone using MeldaProduction plug-ins: when you go into Settings/Style and select a style, there's a selection of color presets, and you can download color presets from the Online Preset Exchange. I've uploaded a couple for my favorite style, Argon. Mostly I turn the background darkest black and use aquamarine text with burnt orange highlights. I highly recommend fiddling with Styles and colors with MeldaProduction's plug-ins. I agree with those who say that the stock style and colors are....plain? Fugly? Whatever, their basic UI is purely functional, designed for high visibility over sexiness, and I find that it increases my enjoyment of using them if I can give them a color makeover. I like the darker styles like Argon, Titanium, and Uranium Dark. I'd love to dig deeper into Styles and even Devices, but it's pretty complicated and has the traditional MeldaProduction minimal documentation.

I can't find an upgrade price but it is currently on sale for $38 Orbitron If you're new to UP, use the code UP0599432 for 20% off (I'm not sure if it will apply to sale items but worth a shot). This is a referral code.

The only difference between a Simple Instrument Track and a Split Instrument Track is that the Simple Instrument track is shown as one track in the UI. A Simple Instrument Track is in fact still two tracks, it's just that in the Track View, the header part shows the audio track, and the clips view shows the midi track. The reason they're called "Simple" instrument tracks, is that they're generally created with a stereo only output, and the MIDI track part is sent to the synth on all MIDI channels. That, and the fact they only use up one track space in the UI. Up until the introduction of Per-Output Instrument Tracks, using split instrument tracks was the only way to properly leverage multi-timbral synths. Now you can use either for multi-timbral synths - it's really down to preference, and whatever you're used to in your workflow. As a rule, we try our best not to introduce anything that would require users to change their existing workflow - and obviously there's the backwards compatibility thing with older projects, so both options still exist. FYI: Per-output instrument tracks are really just Simple Instrument Tracks where: 1. The synth is set to have more then one stereo output 2. The audio track is set to receive audio from the synth on a specific audio output 3. The MIDI track is set to output on a specific MIDI channel. ... and those audio output channels / MIDI output channels are incremented each time you "append" a new per-output track for that synth.

So, much has developed since my initial post, and still hoping for some feedback... 1) All of my Midi Devices (controllers, drum pads) work going into my Win 11 All-In-One via USB-A in Cakewalk Next, and Audacity. AND, any/all of them work on my Gen 3 iPad, which is mounted in my Behringer iStudio/Is202 docking station using Cubasis, Garage Band and my Midi Apps. AND, the IS202 USB is recognized by my Win 11, All-In-One when plugged in with a USB-B out of the iStudio to the USB-A of the computer. BUT...none of the midi devices trigger voices or tracks in any PC program, through the iStudio like the devices do directly. Thoughts? Still a routing in/out issue of the iStudio or iPad?

I’m thinking this one may be free someday.

Agree with positive comments above on Melda. Purchased and instaled the ridiculously cheap MTurboAmp. I really like the at least 2 of the 5 bass amps that come in the package. I do see an issue with the inconsistent bass amp selection screen as shown below for 2 instances of the plugin. Melda support has been slow to respond.
