Not here to argue... 😉 You could choose not to optimize Win2000, Win7, or Win10. Can you still work, yes... Is it optimal? Not in my opinion. By default in Win10; there's a lot of power-management, performance throttling, phoning home to MS, background applications running, scheduled tasks, automatic updates (including notifications), Cortana, OneDrive, etc.

After several hours of troubleshooting and a tip from @Steve Katsikas I managed to reproduce the issue again. Its a bizarre preexisting problem that happens when you seek on the timeline to a late measure. In my testing the app would appear hang for about 5-10 seconds and then vanish silently. I was able to find the root cause and fix it last night. The engine was incorrectly responding to a seek on the timeline and computing a bogus delay compensation value. In Steve's case this could compute a delay of up to 3 hours 😛 This value would then be used to send a HUGE MIDI buffer the next time playback started causing an overflow and crash. While most users wouldn't necessarily see a crash (since its dependent on the amount of MIDI data) this issue results in way more MIDI data being processed when playback starts at a high measure number. I've sent Steve a build to verify the fix and if all is well we'll be releasing a hotfix with this and a few other issues soon. I'm happy that this issue is fixed since it could have been the cause of many unknown random crashes in the field over the years - the problem has been latent at least since 2006 Fortunately his project was reliably able to reproduce this and allow us to fix it. Thanks for working with us to repro the issue.

Oh noooo……………….I was afraid of this

very quick update in case anyone is hesitating I'm not a reviewer like Zo, but I know what I like - these are very good. I paid 199 euro and zero buyer remorse.

Not only are they pretty, but they sound fantastic. I'm just digging into V7 collection and amazed at how good they all are. Still, don't know if I'm going to get this FX Collection.....a bit pricey at $199 (which is about what I paid for V7).

Public Service announcement .......your welcome

for me: 14 new plugs for £175 - so about £12 per plug. Dunno what they sound like but I think Arturia do the prettiest looking stuff so that tipped me over the edge.

199 euros here... but I already have so many... NONONOoooooooooo....LOL. No seriously, not going to give in.

The president is not so generous

Listen Scored with VSL symphonic cube and several soft synths (Dune, Massive, Z3TA and the Yamaha MODX-6). I hope you enjoy listening. Best, Jerry

Dynamics is a classic compressor, upward compressor, and expander in a single plugin. This allows you to process the quietest part of your sound and the loudest part individually, resulting in either very transparent control of volume, or full domination of your dynamic range. Dynamics is available as a regular plugin (VST/AU/AAX) and as a Snapin to use in any of our host plugins, Phase Plant, Multipass and Snap Heap. Pro tip: It works AMAZINGLY with Multipass for multi-band compression/expansion with whatever twists you want to add! Buy Dynamics for just $14.50 (reg. $29) Dynamics is discounted on our website until the 29th of February.

A fix for this is now available in the hotfix we just released.

It's a great deal & they don't usually put this on sale because of the licensing agreement with Fearn. Plus this is the first time I can recall where you can use your personal discount coupon on it to get more $ off.

Not only, try it on vocal or guitar Essentially on anything what has key frequencies (bad or good to cut or bold) matching this thing. It is really great plug

Unlike most of the East West sales this one includes upgrades (only on their site though). And they are now offering Hollywood Diamond as a download (so you save money on the hard drive and shipping). Was a good enough deal for me to finally upgrade from Hollywood Orchestral Gold to Diamond. It's downloading now, pretty quickly (I have Gigabit FiOS).

playing with it now ....sounding good minor whinge - why not install the pdf manuals locally ? PluginAlliance do this well. If you try to open the manual it sends you to the website - where you have to scroll to find it then open it. anyway back to the eval

Those Tarilonte libraries are really nice. But I'm not a fool, either. 😁😁

Guys! There are listed 2 new reverbs (of 3 you would use Rev PLATE-140 but also In that case it could be no brainer for $49 upgrade

I have Epic Babies (the free version), but really haven't used it. So, thought I'll checkout Pulsor to see what it has to offer. Not sure if it's too early in the morning, but the patches all sound very similar to each other with slight variations/fx's. Maybe I just need more coffee and better ears.

...and here I thought I was ahead of the curve! I'm going back to bed...

Today, MF had a crazy deal on a cheap midi controller that came with some software and a Studio One 4 Pro Upgrade. I didn't care about the controller (and most of the software, save a one year Groove 3 subscription). I attempted to purchase it this morning, and the site gave an error - I "chatted" into the support, and was told that it was a "system" issue, and that it would be fixed in a few hours. They gave me a cart number in case there were issues. I tried to purchase tonight, and received the same error. I chatted into support again, but this time the girl told me that it was out of stock, and there was nothing she could do. I gave her the cart number, but she didn't budge. Obviously, this isn't what they told me this morning. I figured I would just call them instead. I explained the whole thing, and the guy told me that the cart number I was given this morning had no notes on it. It took quite awhile, but he came through for me. They honored the deal (minus the controller, which I didn't want) in the end. I received the Producer Pack (bunch of stuff, but includes the 1 year Groove 3 pass), plus an upgrade to Studio One 4 Pro for a grand total of $109. I feel good!

Nice Deal, That teaches us all to never give into a simple NO.

Issue has been 100% resolved thanks to the dedication of Noel and CW! The issue was pretty complicated apparently, but had to do with midi buffer overflows as Noel explains above. As a lifelong CW user, I could not be happier with the support I received. Steve

I got Seurat when it came out. Very beautiful granular sounds. Great presets. This is a lot less than I paid and you get a lot more. Since I bought it they have added a lot of new snapshots and features. 1.5 added a randomize feature--just click the "Seurat" logo. 1.6 is called "Seurat R" because it allows you to reverse the samples. 1.61 adds 100 snapshots. All these updates have been free for original purchasers. Learning how to program Seurat is a little complicated, but it's easy to just hit the randomize button and get a lot of great results. 😀 I've had 1.6 for quite a while. This new version is just 1.62 and is just a minor thing -- "fixed some tuning issues." Anybody who is curious should try the free demo on this page.

Tempo view would be nice if the tempo curve like an Automation lane with movable, selectable and tilt-able nodes. like this video. at 5:58. and please make the transform tool available for tempo view. maybe tempo track is a good solution.

Well since they gave $30 to spend and I got ladder filter for free. They deserve $15.

Do you know that termites eat twice as fast when they listen to heavy metal?

Great, just when I thought I was done with Arturia. I have the 12 other effects, and my price is $49. Do I really need three more reverbs?

brrr... please do not recall it 😞 Believe or not I am so stupid to hope this month there will be a possibility for me to use it with any sense Otherwise I will probably write to PA support and ask them... to downgrade my voucher to $25 😧

I actually do agree that this is a fairly good deal: they've even wavered the minimum spend, and mentioned that it's best to use it during a sale.

Yup, but anyway it can be nice offer for people who doesn't have any PA plugins or only a little... Pay $249, have access to all by ~1 year and after it decide (probably at BDF or Christmas) what you can sum up and own from them... It is not bad idea as it is letting to avoid spending money for lots of plugs which are not really used what I realized usually few months after buy Why I bought such things as boom, some of their amps sims which are annoying me as nothing else with their approach for selecting IRs or bypassing it. Etc... After year access to everything probably if more clear what is really in use... I spent last year $300+ (to earn stupid and so far useless $50 voucher) so $250 sounds not so bad... But well, for me it is the past I desire only about 4 PA plugs and I am done. Rest is not in my radar (till they will do again something new and exciting).

if it's any consolation - Larry even beat me to saying he'd posted that link earlier. I'm starting to think Larry may well be some kind of AI bot ?

No Man? I guess I'll get my mom to buy it for me... 😂

Which reminds me

@garybrun Thanks and for the clarification not that you ever need it Gary, some peeps can not handle objective comments.

That came across on my system very nicely. Once again ... well done. I always state this... but we all paint very different pictures... these are just my personal views and what I would have done and in no way is it meant to diminish the work you have done here. I am listening on Focal TRIO6 BE

I never run Cakewalk from Bandlab Assistant (not that I have reason not to, that I know of, I just always launch it from the Cakewalk launch icon. When I installed Cakewalk by Bandlab, from the Bandlab Assistant, it created a desktop launch icon, and I pinned that to the Taskbar. I also happen to run Cakewalk, and actually Bandlab Assistant, with the Run As Administrator option - though I don't believe it is a requirement. Anyways - try launching Cakewalk by Bandlab from its desktop launch icon, rather than from the Bandlab Assistant, and see if that works. Bob Bone

As you age it goes from Peel Sessions to Pee Sessions, eh? 😆

Hi Steve, I am wondering if you were to make a project template based on one of your earlier projects in which VA-3 is working, would it load correctly? If it works then at least you have a workaround until this issue is resolved. Kind regards, tecknot

So it's not about jaw pain? Massively creative mix. Unconventional, angular chords and lyrics that slide around, start and stop, quite nicely. The mixing curveballs on the vocals kept it all flowing. I'd say it evokes a certain Wang Chung vibe in spots. As in, "What the hell ever happened to Wang Chung?!?" That Wang Chung. Thanks for the peppy number and the mix was a treat for the ears. My only crit might be the ending, which just cuts off more or less, but hey it knida works. I was expecting a bit more somethingerother on the end there.

I've never really considered myself either a Composer of a Producer....just a Songwriter. I have had to learn to do both Composing and Production to get my songs out. So far, I think I'm doing OK. Honestly, I don't care much for definitions either, as there always seems to be exceptions. End results have always been more concerning to me.
