Just the other day, my vegan mate started questioning me about my dietary and lifestyle choices ... "Why do you even eat meat?" "Do you think it's ethical to consume animal products?" "Why should animals have to suffer and die just so you can eat a steak or a pork chop?" "Don't you know that global warming is in part caused by livestock farming and the transport of animals and their products?" "Do you realise that studies have shown that the human body can get all the nourishment, protein, minerals and vitamins it requires from food not sourced from the animal kingdom"? "You do know that animals feel pain too, don't you?" "Wouldn't you rather see a lamb happily gambolling and frolicking about in a meadow than lying dead on your plate in a pool of gravy"? .... Jeez, I wasn't expecting some sort of spinach inquisition.

You eat meat so you can have some pudding!

Their website/shop is kind of "difficult" but this offer seems pretty decent if you have any interest in film making https://store.ascmag.com/product-p/sub_dig_12-issues.htm $9.99 for a year of digital American Cinematographer Plus you get full access to previous issues (to at least 2015, maybe more) and they can be downloaded as PDF files. Normally I guess this is $50/year. Their store shows two similar products (the one linked above) and another that looks the same but talks about a July 30, 2019 deadline. I ordered the one above. While I had some difficulty getting an account setup and working through all the password issues it definitely delivered (you might want to setup your account before you order, might go better than it did for me). The web version is a little wonky, to get to the archives you have to click on a suitcase looking button that says "access more functionality and features" then click on archives, but that only goes back to 2015. On this page https://theasc.com/your-account at the bottom it lists issues back to 2011 but I can't seem to read/access the PDF/digital version of anything before 2015. Full version of Kontakt isn't required. Crazy priced prime lens set and camera to match recommend.

There's nothing wrong with that ... as long as your correct. Can you see what I did their? And they're? And hear? And here?

Although this is a music forum I always appreciate posts like this because I do some photo and video work as well as music.

same here - and wasn't really worth the wait ....

Details are here: https://korg.shop/korg-collection-special-bundle-v2-for-m1-le.html Upgrade to new collection including Triton from M1 LE is $199. I'm sure there will be a special offer for collection owners too. There is an introductory discount on Triton without upgrade from $249 to $199. Contains all the original expansions. I'm extremely tempted.

I made a backing track a couple of years ago (for me to sing and play guitar to at a party). So I thought I might as well add vocals/guitar and make a track out of it to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! https://soundclick.com/r/s8bbo4

My legacy order is stuck "pending" as well. But it's in my account and installed, so I'm not sure what's up with that. To get the coupon code for the upgrade I had to go to the old Korg site ( https://www.korguser.net ) My account there had the coupon code for getting the new upgrade including the Triton and the Arp. At least I think that's what it is, I didn't actually try it since I don't think the upgrade price is all that great ($199) I'm also really confused because I download the current versions of the legacy synths and the zip's have higher version numbers as part of the filenames than what it installs. If they drop the price to $99 or less I'd most likely do it.

The code is for the WA Production website and appears to be still active. A discount code can be entered when you view the cart contents. It's actually the first page of the checkout process that is skipped if you just click "Checkout"... edit: Oh, Tom's just answered while I was typing...

I'll have to make sure to post next time Affinity is on sale. I like it so much better than Photoshop.

If your wife/girlfriend comes running into the room with her hair on fire, screaming, "What should I do?" Do NOT say put it out! You say things like, "Wow, you look really good as a red head," or "Poor baby, that must really hurt. I feel so bad for you," etc...

Was it cute? (Sorry, should have resisted, but couldn't! ?)

I went for focusrite sc and STD-1 for 74.98. $37.49 each is pretty good! Tempted to get the diezel and amped vr plugins I don’t have but may wait the next deal.

Not the most comprehensive list but it's well laid out and organized. Many staples with a few lesser known gems as well. A nice starting point for newbies or those vets looking to expand their arsenal.

"Logic clearly dictates that the need of many outweigh the need of few "... or... something like that ? I'm sure mr Spock was talking about plugins back then.

I've been using Vegas for years and currently on v16. Because it crashes a lot and I just wanted to try something different I recently went for the free DaVinci Resolve and now HitFilm Pro. Resolve is good but it has a whole other way of doing things compared to Vegas or Adobe Premiere. HitFilm seems geared more for special effects and you get a bunch of those with the Humble deal (and they work in Vegas too. Haven't checked Resolve) . I caught on to the HitFilm way of doing things pretty fast and so far it seems stable. It probably won't replace Vegas but it's good for the brain to try out new stuff.

In Ireland that would be #3

Good thing about Composer Cloud is these new things get added so you only have to worry about the disc space. On another note is backup singers / backing singers a US v UK English thing? Backup singers to me sound like ones that are there in case the singer's voice fails rather than to provide backing.

Here is the URL of the latest version of my Visual Guide to creating Cakewalk Themes. (The title is a reference to Neal Stephenson's excellent SCI-FI Novel "The Diamond Age".) The document is a work-in-progress, and will contain areas where incomplete information is provided. If you identify an area that could use additional content to help your Theme creation, please let me know and I'll look at enhancing those sections. Have at it!

Hi All , A 2 for 1 The Sound Cloud audio file was done one day ago for my week 228 Twanger Central submission .... on that take I'm playing my Vintage Modified Jaguar On the u tube video I'm playing my R 8 historic Les Paul pretty much clean . All guitar parts was done in one take with no overdubs for both files . The u tube video I shot tonight a few hours ago on an impulse ... I hope someone enjoys the playing , Kenny

I would be dizzy with pleasure that she listened to my song at all. I usually get comments like, 'have you considered trying to play with the other musicians?'

And here I am thinking of selling mine....

Careful making fun of the vegetablists mate. Another guitarist I knew pushed too far and one of them killed him using two root vegetables and one of his guitar strings.......... He was carroted.

Depends on the exact plugins you're using, whether they are using upsampling. Does increasing the bit rate on the Lame exported help? Are you exporting the files onto one of the M.2 SSDs. With all those plugins , 2 to 4 minutes may actually be normal. As a test, maybe try without the plugins and see if it makes a measurable difference. I am assuming you have a specific reason you're exporting to MP3 rather than wav. MP3 export is more CPU intensive than wav Other may offer more suggestions.

The easiest way I found to do this in TTS-1 (without a MIDI controller) is to open the EDIT button for the channel you're using (see highlighted button in first pic). This opens the edit window. Then hover your mouse pointer over the name of the preset (see highlighted area in second pic). Now scroll your mousewheel up or down to change through the list of presets. Works best if you have a short midi loop playing continuously while you scroll through.

No dude. It's against the guy code for a guy to use that word on some other dude's song, but from a woman I'd take it as a compliment all day. Let it go.

I really need to listen to more of The Furries. The problem has been that I thought "Rings Around the World" was such a masterpiece that anything else was unnecessary. I can see I maybe need to readjust my thinking.

Amazing list, but clearly missing a few well known top tier free options Fxpansion DCAM Free Comp Jamstix - free version come to mind as examples, but way more stuff on that list that I didn't know about.

If you need to add special effects to your projections this is a pretty good deal. Outside of that, I personally don't see the value if you are happy with Vegas 14. And if you are not happy with Vegas 14, Davinci Resolve for Free is where I'd be looking first.

Actually, I misspoke. I talked to the person on KVR who sold me the Amadeus and they said they still have two more licenses. So if you're still interested you might get one, if you hurry. I apologize for assuming they had only one license and for spreading misinformation. ? Sorry everyone. I'll do better next time.

Steve used a smiley face............. Instead of his usual smirking face. Oh wait a minute that is his avatar I was thinking about ?

OMG I got my keys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 37$ For omni and NS1 is unbelievable omg! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice Kenny

This is a good idea, I will give that a try for sure, thanks!

Hey , I really enjoyed both versions , I don't own one but I'm a big fan of a Jag , you had the tone dialed in great for this one . It was even better actually seeing you play instead of just trying to imagine it. Very nice .. mark

Ahhh. Good old Korg synths. I tried to pick out the M1 but couldn't (maybe the harp?) Nice texture to this, almost classical. Good to hear something upbeat and optimistic. btw, I liked your response to the spammer.

Kenny Even more impressive than listening is watching you play the guitar. Amazing. Yeah, I enjoyed it. As a somewhat beginner on the guitar, I had my guitarist scale book opened on the Gm (pentatonic?) page to see if you were playing that pattern, but you were going too fast.

It can also make a huge difference with synthesizers. Here's an explanation of how it works. I also think you'll find the audio example in this video VERY revealing!

The Event Inspector is a very efficient way to accomplish either track or global project midi edits, - as well selection and group edits. It's a midi editing super weapon.

This is just what I needed this morning. Very meditative at first, almost like a singing bowl. You always keep things interesting throughout.

"Need" is such an antiquated term ?

Usually it's always metal this metal that, hardly ever any doom, especially funeral doom where the grooves are sometimes so slow you can make a sandwich between snares.

*sigh* deal fatigue.. I know.. poor me, poor me, pour me another

FYI guys, my "Upgrade Price" for the full SoundToys 5 has been $95 since Black Friday with my existing plugins. I didn't have this one, and out of curiosity, I picked it up for the total no-brainer $9 price - and NOW my full upgrade price is $70!! So for $9, I got $25 off! Woo hoo! I may have to ask for an early b-day present.

@Creative Sauce - Thanks for putting this together, there's some great ideas here. FWIW, there's a couple of things that are more or less there already: Adjusting Clip Gain This can be done by holding down control, left clicking, then moving the mouse up & down. It currently doesn't change the waveform display, but this is in our to-do list: VCA's (Grouping) You can obtain similar behaviour to VCA's by using control groups:

I noticed this too. You can open the Markers view, highlight the marker then delete.
