Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying my new role as a Baker. It's a huge change after being in software development management elsewhere for the past 20 years, but I certainly won't miss the politics of my previous job. I've joined a fantastic team of incredibly nice and talented guys, all who are passionate and focused on continuing to improve and deliver the best experience we can for all of you. I'll try to keep as active as I can here on the forums, but I'm still getting to grips with 30 years worth of Cakewalk code, so I may not be quite as active as I once was in the short term. There's a bunch of exciting new things in the road map (as well as some bugs to fix), so I'm hoping my being here will make them a reality a bit sooner.

Heads up that Arc system 2.5 is available on Amazon US for $99 ***WITH THE MICROPHONE!!!*** https://www.amazon.com/IK-Multimedia-correction-measurement-microphone/dp/B0741D3PD4 This gives a value of €199.99 in the group buy [corrected]. With shippping and duties to the UK, the cost is about $125, so much, much cheaper than the €201.29 the IK shop charges with shipping or the £173.53 on Amazon UK. Even better if you live in the US. I couldn't resist.

Logged on the forum today and noticed Mark has the Staff insignia next to his name. Just wanted to congratulate Mark on his promotion! Well deserved if you ask me. Has certainly helped me in the past and his extensive knowledge, especially in areas of all things midi should be well known around here. Mark also always manages to keep a cool head on this forum, despite that pint in his hand all the time! Congratulations Mark!

Glad to hear everything is working solid! In AmpliTube select your MIDI input as the AXE I/O. This is under Settings -> Audio/MIDI Set up. Once selected, you can turn preset control on/off in the MIDI menu toward the top of the screen. The knob doesn't need any addition set up, but if you want you can adjust the messages sent by the knob in the Control section of your AXE I/O control panel. If you think you've changed your MIDI message for the Preset knob and that may be your issue, right click anywhere in the Control section to reset your setting to default.

Per Jim's post:

Best channel @Waves.

The upgrades between versions were discounted by 50% and in some cases 60% last Black Friday. I got Essential->Assistant for $44. IIRC Assistant->Editor was less than $100. I'd say everyPlugin is likely to be your best bet.

I've been watching that one. My hope is that if I hesitate long enough, it'll go away and my GAS will be relieved...

Seeing as there have been mentions of the Brian May pack: According to Queen, yes... (Sorry for the bad joke...)

Music with guitars is inherently worse than music without guitars. Guitars are shit instruments, theres not a sound you can make with a guitar that you can't make on FL studio (3) is grammatically incorrect, and does not really support the assertion made in (2). There is some truth to (3): a wide variety of guitar sample packs are available. The combination of (2) and (3) do not really support (1). Assuming (3) is true, it invalidates (1); the music will sound the same with and without guitars.

Thanks Ryan, that sorted it! That's the only setting I didn't notice ??‍♂️ All working fine now ??

I've got a similar problem. My neighbors bang on the wall when I practice the guitar, but they have the worst sense of rhythm. They never bang in time. I figure if I play louder, perhaps I can teach them how to keep the beat better.

I got the Sonarworks one years ago so no need for it. That's how I control GAS: buy something else instead.

My AXE I/O arrived this morning and the GB options appeared in my account as soon as I registered it. ?? Looking forward to installing and giving it a good audition later on. First impressions are that it's physically smaller than I thought it would be and feels very well built/made to last despite the plastic sides. The knobs are all smooth and don't have any play in them and the switches have a nice positive action. I like that the XLR inputs are on the back so I can hide my mic input there and focus on the guitar inputs at the front. I am really looking forward to being able to access the Amplitube presets from the front panel though...one of my pet hates about Amplitube are the cascading menus which can make it tricky to select presets. The GB also means that I will now own everything that's available in Amplitube so no more popups about missing effects etc.

Black Friday is just around the corner too, so it may pay to wait. I have a feeling it will be Black November this year...

136 to go till we hit 9 Freebies! Edit: Odd, this morning the counter is showing 147... Something glitched somewhere, maybe my browser.

This short track is made purely with one of my go-to soft synths, AAS Chromaphone 2. I like it for the analog feel and it got a lot of nice, plucky sounds. I guess many of you have some of the AAS synths, which is your favorite? Additional FX used, mostly Soundtoys stuff.

Hi, Thank you for listening. Sorry If I don't answer quickly and for not giving comment on songs,I cannot access my account from my old IPad and my PC is rarely connected. Cheers Olivier

It appears Motu digital performer takes some tweaking as well not really a one shot thing).

Hi. This is one of my bit older tunes. I hope you like it. Comments I welcome

Hmmmm, you could take that two ways..............?

I'm self-employed, it's a 7 day work week for me. Dorian gave me 4 days off - in a way. Putting the storm awnings down, putting storm panels up on the windows that don't have awnings, making sure the generator runs, getting gas, buying food, bottling water, and so on. And I did it all for nothing because it barely glanced us (Hooray!) - 50mph sustained winds recorded about a mile from here. But I only gig 2 or 3 days a week in the off-season, and that many if I'm lucky. So I'm working on making more Band-in-a-Box styles. When you're self-employed, you get to pick which 16 hours of the day you are going to work on. ? But I wouldn't trade it for a "real job".

Nice song, I like the back beat and the break is very cool.

I like the sound of the distorted bottom end, almost sounds like a fretless bass. gives the song a nice layered feel.

Guitar Pro 7 is a good one (paid) --> https://www.guitar-pro.com/ or a free one is Tux Guitar --> https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxguitar/

Noel, said it was ok to say so, He sent me a private message that contained a link to a new build version soon to be released! I guess I'm a real live beta tester now!!! LOL

I couldn't resist either. When they extended the GB I got ARC 2.5 on Amazon. I've tested it on my PA system. What a difference. I'm interested to see how that effects amp sims - I've obviously been fighting room acoustics when working with the PA.

It’ll pass, don’t worry.

Whilst I agree to some extent, I also think that they (NI) have been caught napping. They certainly were leaders. But to be completely honest, I feel that they are now just another company that makes sounds. If they really want to keep their spot in the scheme of all things, by all that is deal like, they need to innovate and push the envelope like it is the oxygen they need to continue breathing!

exact a custom bundle would be killer and at the same will avoid some extra purchase so don't know if it's in fact positive or negatif for them ...

Totally get that. I just think it is good practice to run all signal to a single bus before you hit the hardware outputs. If done correctly, there should be no difference between the hardware output and the final summing bus, whatever you call it. Dan

I presume mean track folders. Try right-clicking in the track pane. Then Insert Track Folder from the popup menu.

Really neat seven feel. Love it. It builds nicely. I don't have any AAS but I do like this one.

I mentioned two pages ago that they should set it up as a way to get in the group buy and not as a reward. They'd likely see a massive spike in sales of it. Guessing the people up stairs said no.

Enjoyed the track. I'm on laptop here, sounded pretty good. I use AAS synths from time to time, don't really have a favorite. Soundtoys are some of my favorite effect plugins though.

Nice use of textures & pads. Also the tempo, I can hear it being used for licensing; ads, background etc..

I like this. Nice up and airy vibe.??

Have them all. Chromaphone and Lounge Lizard get the most use. Wish I was better using Strum. Nice background tune while posting!

Very nice. I like the melodies throughout and I liked the arpeggiated piece....good job.??

you could try posting the links I guess, the people in the song forum would be more familiar with your songs. under the circumstances perhaps the MOD wouldn't have a problem with it, you're not spamming you're asking for help. BTW thats a bummer about Bangin and Poppin, that one really moves...

Right click on the clip and then "Rename Clip". You can also edit selected clip name at "Clip properties" on Inspector.

reads like a cloud based subscription system, East-West alike

The easiest way is to use Ripple Editing to accomplish this. Here is a video.

They need to be bought by Gibson and gutted first. (Not trying to be glib about what the NI and CW devs went through. Hang in there guys - it sucks to be downsized.)

Fixed.

It would also be spelled with a K.

NI has had update subscriptions before actually, long long ago. But they only did it for a year or so. You basically pre-paid for the a year of upgrades to Komplete. I don't think they are going subscriptions on software anytime soon. The Loop Loft stuff (sounds.com) maybe, the Machine expansions, maybe, but not the rest. In past things like this (NI has done this a few times actually) what usually happens is they kill off a bunch of amazing and great products in favor of some stuff you have no interest in. Most likely this means more hardware/mobile phone nonsense and less improve Kontakt so it doesn't suck.

It's like a company that makes 62 billion different instruments might have spread themselves thin or something? And of course the answer is to become thinner...? Also is it just me or does that article read like "subscription imminent!"

I got a rock!
