Hi Everyone I really hope this is alright to post here I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone in the Songs forum for all the help, advice and support I have received over the years. I don’t think we would have progressed without all this help and advice. Devine lie has just hit a couple of landmarks. We have just broken the Twenty Thousand Subscriber on mark YouTube and the lead track off our last album, Indelible Stain, has just reached TWO MILLION VIEWS!!!!! I think this track has done so well because I do think the track is strong, but the video is even stronger! – probably one of the best videos we have ever done I have posted it below if you haven’t seen it or listened to it before. Again thanks to everyone – we really appreciate it Nigel

I understand that users want to get definitive answers on final pricing and purchase options, but please don’t read too much into this,. As mentioned earlier, BSP was the quickest way we could make it the software available to users while all the other moving parts are sorted out for an official release. The wait to final releasse was completely expected to be a few months. BandLab is a big company and Its not just engineering - management, marketing, back end, social, support, all of those have to be coordinated to make it happen. Our team would obviously like this to happen sooner than later and we’ve done our part to communicate whats needed within the org. If you need it now go ahead and use BSP, or wait for the final announcements on purchase options. Its pretty simple.

This offer ends on April 4th, 2024. https://audioplugin.deals/product/analog-lab-play-pop-transcendence-sound-pack-by-arturia/

This is dope! The guys from Samplicity are giving away their highly acclaimed impulse responses from the Bricasti M7 reverb unit for free. These files can be used in convolution plugins that can read IR files in Wave format, for instance Apple Space Designer, Steinberg REVerence, LiquidSonics Reverberate and Audioease Altiverb. The Bricasti Design Model 7 provides the highest level of musicality and ease of control imaginable in a processor dedicated to the task of reverberation. In short: simply one of the best sounding reverbs you can get. Grab the IRs here: https://samplicity.com/bricasti-m7-impulse-response-files/

These posts make me wish the forum added a section where we could trade vsts and sample libraries. A lot of us here buy a lot of stuff, and find out some of it isn't a fit for us, but someone else may love it. If anyone knows how to make that happen, I think it'd be a great feature.

FWIW the soon-to-be-included Tungsten Classic theme has distinct button backgrounds, rather than the transparent background of the newer themes - it's no where near as flat/2D looking. It's not exactly the same as CbB, but when running the two apps side by side, they look very similar.

VZTec just debuted the beta release of the free Malibu plugin, a digital replication of the Singletone Malibu reverb and tremolo pedal. https://en.vztecfx.com/malibu-plugin The plugin is for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. VZTec states that it “allows you not only to incorporate the characteristic audio of the Malibu into your productions but also to remotely test the pedal from your home or studio.” available in AU, VST 2, VST 3, LV2 and CLAP.

AUDIOBRO SILVER Free inspiration… for free! A free and growing library offering five master instruments and a wide collection of Kontakt/NKS presets. What is SILVER? SILVER is a free, creative, growing collection of sounds. It started off as a deeply-sampled tongue drum, but we kept adding more and more diverse sounds to the library until we could create entire tracks with just this free tool. Listen to the demos for a few examples of what is possible. Silver is SIMPLE, DIVERSE, and FUN! It’s quick to load and packed with presets to get you started. It runs inside the free Kontakt Player and is NKS-compatible. The instruments (so far): Silver Tongue – a multi-dynamic tongue drum played with hands, soft mallets, and metal mallets. It includes Round Robin, unmuted and muted, isolated tongue tines as well a controllable resonance (“Reso”) Bowls – multi-dynamic hand-played bowls with Round Robin, slaps, mutes and semi-mutes Pads – Guitar Suspense, Slow Guitar Suspense, Strings Harmonics, Tongue Bells, Far Bells, Analog Wide, Analog Simple, Analog Zap Basses – Attack Bass, Attack Bass Monophonic, Simple Bass, Simple Bass Monophonic Electronic Drum Kit – A collection of General MIDI drums with various snares, kicks, rims, claps, and all the other regulars: hats, toms, crashes, tambourine, etc. SILVER is a “living library” and we will be updating with more instruments and samples as time goes by. https://audiobro.com/SILVER/

Just my 2p's worth: I hate 'subscription' business models with a passion. It's a form of intertia selling. It all started years ago with gym memberships, where it dawned on companies that young people tend not to check their bank statements (especially when they're not on paper anymore), and only realise a year after they stopped attending the gym that they laid out hundreds of pounds in direct debits. Now it's weekly recipe boxes, exercise bike regimes, pet food boxes, software, online films, and a zillion others, not to mention charities that all jumped on the bandwgon when they recruited whizz-bang marketing directors from the private sector. "Look, it's only £x a month, a snip." It's a personal thing with me. I won't subscribe to anything, Guitarist magazine being the exception.

So, here’s my plan. I will lean back in my chair until Sonar is released and the question whether it will be possible to buy a permanent license, or if Sonar only will be available through a BSP membership, has finally been decided. I have always stayed away from software subscriptions (ask Adobe) and intend to do so in the future as well. As for the BSP package, I’m only interested in Sonar. While waiting, I’ll keep using CbB as long as it runs. If CbB stops working before any such decision has been made, I have both Cubase and Studio One installed on my computer. Also, I have SONAR Platinum installed, so I will be able to open my unfinished Cakewalk projects reasonably well. In a worst-case scenario, I certainly won’t change DAW lightheartedly. I’ve always loved Cakewalk, but I will move on if the only option is a BandLab membership.

I would rather have a perpetual licence - a similar way that Sonar Platinum was offered (before the lifetime licence was offered). Making 12 consecutive monthly, or one annual payment, gives you a version that keeps working. If any updates are released while you have an active membership, you have access to those updates. If, after the 12 consecutive monthly, or the one annual payment, you decide to stop renewing your membership, then you keep the version you had when you stopped renewing. What I definitely would not like is for the only way to keep using Sonar is via membership. I think that would annoy a lot of users.

@norfolkmastering / @Sal Sorice / @Heinz Hupfer There are a couple of things in the pipeline that should improve the look of Sonar vs CbB. 1. We'll be including a "Tungsten Classic" theme that more closely matches the colours of CbB, and certainly to my eyes has a more preferable contrast to the new Tungsten. 2. We're using a different graphics framework not only for the vector images, but also for drawing text. This is the same framework we're using in Next for cross-platform support. Unfortunately, because it's cross-platform, the text rendering doesn't look as good on 1080P as it did in CbB. We have a plan to fix this and will be addressing it very soon.
