- Which plug-in is good for ... - ALL OF THEM!!! INSTALL EVERYTHING!!! - NOW!!!!!!!!!

We've been working hard on improving the audio engine performance over the last year. Low latency ASIO performance is greatly improved compared to SONAR. Please check out this post to see it in action.

I'm taking a break from acquiring IK products. After the past 2 months the only thing I didn't buy is the company. I don't think I have enough Jampoints to cover a discount.

Hereby even before end of 2019, inspired by good question from TheSteven, I decided hereby to award a well-deserved reward as below REASON: tired to be requested to login again and again with every new instance (who is using just 1 track for guitars?) just picking different amp plugin... Support ticket raised long ago ignored and technician seemed even not checking what I reported with every steps described and mentioned about the same problem on different comps with different OSes. I was suggested reinstall, what I did to proved the point but well.. Without any desire to confirm what is reported technician never will notice a problem...

Tiger the Frog must have licked himself.

I ended up getting Brian May for $58...it was the only Amplitube Product I didn't own...

I've come accross a fair few people who are saying that CbB doesn't have official integration with Native Instruments, so lets get the process rolling and underway! Studio One Users got their way recently with an update, so why can't we? Lets do it! "Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want So tell me what you want, what you really, really want I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want So tell me what you want, what you really, really want I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna NKS SUPPORT please.... zigazig ah!

I received my code back in just a couple hours after the purchase. I guess based on their business hours.

The most annoying login dialog popup showed every time with any new instance which cannot be disabled?

I'm becoming a fan. Most stuff has 5 authorizations and the presets that come with their synths are great.

You should also get Komplete Ultimate and have a bunch of stuff you never use as well. I know what you are saying.

Always appreciate your input Matthew and I'm in the same mindset regarding Signal. I only have the free version of Signal and also have Movement, but the features/instruments in Signal are aligned with what I want to do. Yet, it's tempting to get Exhale as well.....oh this GAS of mine.

Signal and REV are the most generally useful of all their stuff for me. I never really got on with Exhale, though to be honest it may have been because it came with the bundle (I upgraded to it from Signal and REV). Getting a huge pile of complex things like that all at once almost always means they don't get the time and attention they need. I had Signal for a long time before I got REV which I also had for a long time. Then I jumped to the bundle, which may have been a mistake. Still if I could only pick one though I'd pick Signal, no question.

Judge all you like brother we all do it amirite. Not to make this thread about me, but just to respond real quick. There's my soundcloud that I've been resurrecting after some years of down time. The demos currently on there are older and before I started taking mixing seriously. I took a long hiatus from music and just got back into it about a year ago when I started posting on the old forum and found Cakewalk was dead. That's when I started taking mixing seriously, but I've always been a guitar geek and tone chaser who cares about things like scale length and signal splitting to two amps sans tone loss etc. But I had always shunned amp sims w/o even trying them; I just assumed there could be no way they'd be worth while for serious recording. Then I moved to this new place and realized I can't mic my amp here so I started thinking and researching and opening my mind and ended up down the sims and IR rabbit hole. I have different goals now than I did then as I consider YouTube and composing for TV/film rather than a band right now. There's a couple of recent riffs I uploaded there to test some guitar sim tones you could hear and I'm still dialing those. Today I built three dual bass amp rigs around the Brainworx Ampeg VR which I made into templates. I'm doom metal/synthwave guitar/bass/synth player but I'll write in various styles. Right now I'm getting a pretty dope doom tone w/ a dual amp rig consisting of a cranked Nembrini Marshall for one amp and a hardware Big Muff run through a PSA-1 which is then run through an OwnHammer IR for the second amp and I blend those together and that's the Grimy Doom Riff on there I was testing. I think of it as an Alice In Chains type of metal tone blended w/ a Siamese Dream era muff tone to get a metal muff tone that I play w/ a Warmoth baritone strat tuned to A# standard. I'm wearing too many dang hats right now and there's just so much to do and I'm playing serious catch up lately. I'm projecting my newest song to be uploaded by the end of the year if I can stop messing w/ sounds to get to actual work lol. Post your soundcloud too man. I'm always checking people's stuff out.

... the last time I tried, I nearly broke my f*cking back.

If I could lick myself, I'd never leave the house again.

Someone's in BF mood already!

Very up vibe.??

Yikes! That’s Rockus and Rollus, the gods of rock music; man am I sorry I sicced ‘em on ya.

Funilly enough I thought the same apart from the odd one. I only really bought it to say thanks though.

How very pig-headed of him ?

For the record, I don't care for the sounds in the new Nori expansion, Japan's Vintage. I wish I had purchased another one of his old ones instead. Anybody else have a reaction?

The tracks have different scales

You got it! Thanks Ed, luv ya man! (that don't mean I wants to take long hot showers with ya tho) T

That was a fun romp Lasse.

The ONLY thing Amplitube that I don't own now is ONE pedal...the Shape Shifter...and at $24.99 that's a no go....not for a single pedal. I own ALL of T-Racks (and then some), and ALL of SampleTank except a bunch of the Syntronik Modules, which I'm in no hurry to acquire anyways... And STILL it would cost me an Arm and Leg (and a few other body parts) to get a "Max" designation, despite owning MORE than is included in the Max products...DUMB.

I had a $10 coupon from them in my email from a couple of months ago that still worked so I upgraded FX 2 to Elite for $40. I think I’m getting amp sim fatigue at this point though.

It's all my fault. I used to buy most of those titles on a regular basis. Then they closed the nearest Barnes & Noble, making it less convenient. Couldn't be bothered to drive the extra distance. I accept culpability for my part in the demise of music magazines. OTOH, maybe it's your fault. You said it was a "time-filler'. Does that mean you were one of those people who read the mags but didn't buy them? Left the racks in disarray? Mixed up the drum mags with the keyboard mags? Or worse, stuffed the music production mags behind Cream and Rolling Stone?

Panda Express, I'm not going that far (but I am smiling). I've got a good attitude lift this morning catching up with what everyone is up to here in Songs. You've got me ending on a very upbeat note! Big A+ here. Tom

Certainly I want to hear the finished product, but I gotta tell ya I really enjoyed watching the session! When the Beatles anthology CD came out my sister handed it off to me instantly. She hated the takes that weren't perfect; I loved it! We constantly hold our works up to the bar that is finished commercial product, and certainly we should and must. But it is refreshing to know that "polished" works, take hard work, and not every take is "perfect". Angela has the chops for sure, the whole tune is excellent. Thanks for sharing, Tom

I personally prefer simply turning on the click and drawing in the tempo changes by hand. For me it’s WAY quicker than SM/BAN and provides instant feedback on the relationship between the music and the tempo map (click). Sometimes the drummer might rush the kick or drag the snare so setting the map by listening to the click instead leaves the map more like as if the drummer was playing with the click as opposed to having the map rush the 1 and 3 or drag the 2 and 4 with the drummer. That’s more a feel thing than a map move. (Musicians should follow the conductor instead of the conductor jumping with the musicians). So setting with the click by ear yields a more accurate representation of the actual map allowing the freedom of feel. I find the ear comes up with a better average. ?

These markers wouldn’t be for tracks. They would be color-coded horizontal markers, arranged below the timeline, that would indicate, for example, intro, verse, bridge, chorus, verse, etc.

I was listening to that only yesterday. David Cameron claimed it's one of his favourite songs. As Paul Weller said - hasn't he listened to the lyrics? Tw@t.

^^^^ AudioSnap will make you want to tear your hair out, and is overkill for a single track. SM/BAN is the only sure-fire way to tempo map a single track (Melodyne will fall on its sword in the absence of transient material fairly frequently - although I have not tested this with the most recent updates).

If you reinstalled on a new machine then you will need a new activation file from the website. The serial number is not part of the activation process. The activation request is a file generated by the program which you need to use to get a new activation file from the Cakewalk server. Last time I checked this still worked. If you install Cakewalk Command Center on the new machine you can use that to install Z3TA+2 and it should automatically do the activation as part of the installation. https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013384/Offline-Activation

Yes, lots of problems with plugins being blacklisted in Cubase after an update, plus Catalina of course. I had tickets with pave, softube, uvi, Steinberg etc

pretty cool

There are times I need to do this as well. What I do in this instance is this. First I select the part of track that contains the notes or lyrics I wish to copy (Select the entire track if necessary). Then I head to Menu item Edit | Select | by filter. Then I leave the ticks on the event types I wish to copy. If I don't want the lyrics , I just deselect the "Lyric" and "text" Then I do the copy I have also saved my most used configuration as a preset. Hope that helps

Looking for a great deal on the Focusrite CS. Not sure if I want yet another flavor of SSL, whether E or G.

Larry, STOP, STOP, STOP.... I am getting pulled back into Soft GAS with all of your postings. My wife says, I am stinking up our entertainment room with all of the Soft GAS that I am producing in there. WHEW, ... What Wonderful GAS!!!

I agree, I've had panda express and it tasted just like this?

LOVE it Lasse - this is right up my street. I have to get Chromaphone 2

I've ony listened briefly on crummy laptop speakers, but I'm guessing this suggestion would apply broadly; Bring up the level of the instrument(s) defining the harmonic structure. The chord changes are cool but not as audible as they should be everywhere. I think this is partly what makes it sound 'Asian' - the melody is too dominant. A switch to - or addition of - a lead instrument with more sustain on the choruses could also help that. Nice work otherwise. I like it.

I love everything you do Rex. On my commercial stereo your voice sounded very, very intimate and close but the accompaniment is sort of distant, like in a seperate space. Just an observation. Great writing on this as always.

That's because that is the global audio folder. If you save projects with per project audio which has been the preferred mode for over 10 years this you wouldn't run into this. It then searches only the project audio folder.

In general its no longer necessary to use Cakewalk Audio Finder and in fact its not optimized like Clean audio which now cleans in seconds. For per project audio there is no reason to use anything else to clean.
