I don't know what device you are using but on my desktop and tablet those three dots are a different menu than what is used to share a video. In the image below I have outlined the SHARE button and the resulting COPY box in red. So, click the SHARE Button and then click COPY. Then paste that into a post to share the video.

I hear you. I must say that some things are getting better though. Like some of the neural amp modeling. I love the convenience of plugging straight into the box. But the tone and especially the response always suffered compared to a good tube amp. But they're def making strides now with that. The harmonic complexity and even the playing response is getting more & more realistic. But yeah, good analog gear definitely has it's mojo 👍

Yep, but it's probably good to call it out individually at that price so people don't miss it too.

I pulled this up on my cell, clicked the 3 dots, clicked share, and pasted here like Craig said. And sometimes it works, and this time it didn't. Lol. So to answer your question, I guess we don't know. Lol. https://youtu.be/TmaQl8eeelw?si=WxcTGcZr7EQqPWNd

Everyone speaks of these "professional" audio engineers who would be the only ones that could hear a difference between digital and analog eq's, comps, etc. I haven't heard anything commercial that I would call a good mix in many many years, so in my opinion, their opinion doesn't hold much weight. I hate to use these amature buzz words and sound like the diy recording guy I am, but its true .... the one thing I've noticed over the years is, it's easier to get that creamy distortion using analog gear, and you won't get that with home gear like you hear on old recordings. When I do get close to it, it just makes everything mix and master better. Having a crystal clean recording isn't really what is desirable. At least for me. Some of the recordings of big artists from the 50s and 60s are incredible. And they all have a very noticeable distortion, especially on the vocals. You'll never get that with digital gear or vst's that emulate analog. It's not possible due to the unpredictable nature of analog gear. That's my 2 cents after many decades of chasing a sound I finally realized I'll never achieve and all this vst stuff is donkey dust ...

I believe you! 😄 I def was not expecting that response. You just gave me a detailed lesson in spamming. I don't think chatGPT could've answered that any better. Bravo Sir 👏

a spam post that appears to have since been removed. figured while i was in the thread i might as well post a useful tidbit... (many spammers quote someone's long post, so that most of the quote is not visible unless you click the expander, and then edit an obvious spam link or phrase (or lots of them) into the quote, where it won't be seen 99% of the time as nobody expands the quotes, just reads the responses. so they get their spam in there where a websearch robot will find it for seo purposes, but where moderators and members of a forum almost never will notice, so it stays up at least long enough to do the job of making the linked / keyworded site(s) rank higher in search engines as those rankings are based on how many other sites link to those sites (rather than how many people actually used a search result, or searched for that site, etc). i'm an admin over on endless sphere in charge of spam control more or less, so i've seen practically everything so far there in the last decade and a half or so)

That's a good point too. You're reminding me of a Bob Clearmountain interview I saw. He said he spends a lot of time removing plugins from overprocessed songs people send him. And he said when he sends it back, they're blown away by how good it sounds. Then he said they'll ask him what he did to make it sound so good 😄. And he tells them that most of what he did was just remove all the EQs & crap they had stacked on it 🤣

Especially those that pile 15 plugins on each instrument channel in search of the elusive Valhalla. I can do an entire score with less than 6 effect plugins in entirety.

Mine isn't. Still the same issues. Trying the un/re-install one more time. I've crossed posted in the MOTU forum but doubtful it'll ever get resolved. Could be a Windows 10 thing. Yeah it's deprecated but I signed up for extended support. . . whatever that means. I'll be checking it on a Win7 and Win11 system to narrow it down. Otherwise it's bound to be repurposed as an overpriced hockey puck.

Or reassign it to another key combination (I have set mine to ALT+F1)

Depends on your keyboard layout. If Ctrl + / doesn't work, you have to test some other key combination. For instance, for me, having a Scandinavian keyboard layout, I have to press Ctrl + ' to open Cakewalk Assist.

I tried your recipe and new Assist feature worked fine on my PC. For me, the Go to Time module did open, I was able to type in the destination time and was able to go there.

Thanks Wolf. But if you don't mind me asking, what the hell led you to this old thread? 😄

Thanks for the feedback guys. And fwiw, I do understand the subtleties of tone. I've been tone chasing with my guitars & amps since the mid 80's. I understand how component variations can affect tone & response. However, there's a lot of snake oil with that too. For instance, the tube industry makes a ton of money based on all the tube brand hype. When it's a fact that the transformer and speakers are WAY more important to tone. But of course the tube industry has no incentive to set that record straight. Just the opposite, they help perpetuate the hype because it generates more money for them. As far as plugins, esp eqs & compressors, I personally believe there's a lot of hype & BS with it. Plus, these companies aren't stupid. They know that most of their customer base is addicted to shiny new software (like drug fiends looking for their next fix 😵‍💫 ). I believe a lot of home musicians keep convincing themselves that the latest hyped up plugin will inspire them more and will equate to better music making. I'm actually very familiar with this way of thinking from teaching guitar for decades. I'd say that about half of my students were this type. They kept thinking that the next amp, next pedal or next guitar would magically make them sound better and would inspire them to want to practice more. But almost without fail, those were the same guys who rarely became good musicians. And no matter how much I tried to help them shift their priorities, it was almost always a waste of my breath. It was clear to me that their drug was mainly in aquiring more cool equipment and just holding onto the dream of one day getting better. My best students were the guys who's main focus was growing at their craft. And to this day, they can play a cheap guitar thru a cheap amp and make it sound good. Btw, Don't get me wrong, I like nice plugins too. But when I find something that works for me, I have no desire at all to keep looking for the next best thing. And you will never, ever, ever catch me spending $300 on a f*cking EQ plugin (even if you tell me it came straight from a unicorn's ***** 🤣). In fact you won't even catch me buying one at all. I'm very happy with the few free eqs I have. But hey, to each his own. If someone gets their kicks from buying expensive plugins, more power to them. That's def not me though. Besides, I'm confident that if Quincy Jones had made Thriller using all stock Cakewalk plugins, it would still be a great sounding album. Having good ears and knowing how to really use the equipment/software that you already have is SO much more valuable than having expensive plugins. But I know you guys already know that. Cheers 🍻

I'm pretty sure I registered BIAB but no joy here. I have been struggling with car repairs and not had much time for anything else.

Interesting enough I’ve done absolutely nothing and there is still no new driver but I thought I would try the Motu again and it seems to now work fine?? Possibly a Windows update fixed what it originally broke?? Anyway it’s great to have it working again. Cross my fingers
