  3. For those that do not know, the Easy Store is the Best Buy specific version of the WD Express. During sales, these seem to end up being cheaper and more highly rated than the Express counterparts. I got the 10TB a while ago for this same price and like the fact that is runs off a wall wart rather than bus powered like the portable drives tend to be. Real life throughput ranged from roughly 10MB/sec (for truckloads of small files, like Adobe directories), to >250MB/sec (for copying large files like images). Average was roughly 100MB/sec to copy over 5TB of drive material (using robocopy). Not very loud at all, and goes to standby when not in use (and not sure if that can be over-ridden)... so this is not a good sample drive choice, but for backups it is on par with expectations.

  6. I've used SSD5 for the last couple of years and I don't mind it. I'm comfortable with the interface. The thing for me is there's a bug in the MIDI grooves browser where you drag a file from the browser to Reaper and it shows "Offline." The workaround is to drag the MIDI file from Windows Explorer into Reaper directly. But that defies the point of a groove browser. Anyway, long story short, Slate has been promising an update coming "soon" to fix this issue for a year or two, and it's still nowhere to be seen. For me, I had enough and moved to Superior Drummer 3 and never looked back. It is better in just about every way and I could tell the difference in the mixes straight away after replacing the Slate drums with SD3.

  9. Ozone was iZotope's original product and pretty much their flagship product as well (I just realized the CEO interned at Cakewalk while at MIT from a video interview he did). The upgrades "from any Advanced product" has always been there, but the situation years ago was that first Advanced product used to be a few hundred dollars to hurdle. On-boarding with the flagship for $150 is actually an amazing deal. As far as reaching the point of diminishing returns, you may have already just done it. Going from no Ozone at all to Ozone Advanced (which allows you to use individual modules on tracks) is a quantum leap. Upgrades are starting to include more "improved features" and additional software one may already own versus "new features" already. However, an upgrade to the newest Music Production Suite (or whatever they may rename it) may be the only other "quantum leap" left for you.

  10. My plan is to invest in this O9A deal and stay with it until Ozone 11 or 12. Definitely not gonna upgrade every new version, especially if it's gonna be $100 or more a pop with a diminished return. It's like w/ my Samsung S10+ phone; the next step up is the S20+ that just came out replete w/ it's full 25% performance increase! yeah whatever.

  14. These are normally 5400 RPM drives that aren't good for running samples. Also because of the size, it will really make it slow if you are running more than couple tracks from it. (platter drives can only read one thing at a time) Depends on the size of the buffer though. Great for back up and maybe for your movie collection. I may have to pick one up since I swear I have more than 8 TBs of Kontakt libraries. I keep filling my back up drives.

  15. What I usually do is buy the "Custom Pak" from a outside vendor like JRR. You can't buy it from XLN if you already own AD2. It has AD2 plus your choice of 3 drum sets, 3 midi paks and 3 kit pieces. It is a great deal. I've done it twice in the past without a problem.

  18. Yeah, Groove Monkey's Midi works seamlessly in AD2 and very good too. I also checked some of the vendors (JRR, Audio Deluxe etc...) and doesn't show any xln midi files for sale. Of course, there's this at KVR: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=540969&p=7687325&hilit=xln+audio+midi#p7687325

  19. you used a code - even if you didn't know it - it kinda sticks to your account. There are 2 JRR codes - FORUM and GROUP - worth trying both - you might have saved a few more cents..... Larry has patiently explained the difference between the various codes .......I still don't understand them

  20. This thread (a very good thread to read) on the NI forum talks about an early version of Spitfire's bespoke library using just a serial number for authorization inside Kontakt and it not working https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/ni-stop-activations-on-legacy-libraries.376981/page-2 EvilDragon says this: Not sure that's so good for you Larry. 😭 Maybe you'll be spared, but it sure sounds like the serial number is fed into a challenge-response system. The truth is that any challenge-response based copy protection system can and will go offline. Unless it's just a serial number or something stored 100% in a dongle, when the company stops issuing responses, your product will no longer be re-installable. For me this list of things NI is killing is a at least a thousand dollars worth of stuff. Sadly it's not even close to most I've lost because of companies not continuing to run authorization servers (Autodesk is still winning that by about $2-3k) Given the state of software products I don't see this one changing into something I like anytime soon. More likely it will lead to more and more subscription products, rather than companies going with copy protection that can survive the company going out of business/shutting-down. But I love software to much to avoid products just because their copy protection isn't ideal. I would have still bought all these products had I been told that in 2020 they were going to off line the authorization server. I do think NI could have done better though.

  25. A couple of weeks ago, I picked up an OVox voice synthesizer from Waves and began experimenting with it. I came up with this song using its vocorder for the main pad and lead vocal. The sax sample is from Dimension Pro using my guitar played through MidiGuitar 2. The song was a lot of fun to create, but I need some extra ears on this, as I'm not entirely neutral about this, yet. As always, thanks in advance for your help and suggestions. Here is the link: https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14005443 remixed on 3/16/20

The library was co-produced by composer and multiinstrumentalists Seth Tsui, who conducted and recorded the sessions in Beijing, China. JADE Ethnic Orchestra is a huge collection of Asian ethnic instruments. Most of the sampled instruments originate from China, but along with them we have included others, like the Hoomai men choir, the Mongolian Longsong Quartet, Moorin-Khuur, the Shakuhachi and many others Asia is to be proud of.

  31. hi wookiee! dig the soundscapes, your style is becoming more familiar to me... and of course, i hear guitar parts everywhere! LOL, tho they are not needed. i think this piece of the tune must be a transitional piece, to a 'bigger picture' piece... i'd love to hear one common melody, in the background, that plays thru the spacier parts, just to tie them all together.

  35. The VST2 versions of Fabfilter plugins don't support custom resizing like the VST3 versions. In the VST2 version you can select a pre-defined size, but there is no resizer. In fact I'd say most of my VST2 vs VST3 issues boil down to two things: MIDI and GUI resizing. VST3 has really bad MIDI support. So a lot of the things plugin developers do with MIDI are much harder (though not really impossible). So things like MIDI generator plugins almost always the VST2 version is better. VST2 resizing the plugin GUI requires the developer jump through a bunch of hoops. VST3 has some sort of support for that, so there are often big differences between plugins in how the VST3 version will let you resize and the VST2 won't. The only plugin I swear by the VST2 version though is Sampletank 3. Sampletank's VST3 implmentation is at best buggy. Sampletank 4 has gotten better but I still don't trust it. IK Multimedia and VST3 don't mix.

  37. Usually transport controls are setup using the control surface settings in preferences. I do not use a control surface, never have, so I will have to leave that for some one else to discuss. There are several threads about control surface setup. Maybe something in one of those will help. It is possible to create a custom shortcuts for transport functions. When using MIDI to create a shortcut it takes a note to bind to the function and either a note or CC (this is set at the top of the shortcut screen) to tell the DAW the next note is bound to a function.

  39. While I like how it sounds for me deal breaker was incompatibility with their own product - slate trigger. If you buy extension of a given producer for SDD5 you still need to buy extension for the same guy for Trigger... This is what I love in AD2. When you own an extension for AD2 you also can use it in Addictive Trigger. No additional buy needed. I dropped an email to SSD about it but they kindly thanked me. So it seems they believe in their path... Well, I am out for sure for double buy... Their choice. I would buy it otherwise when there was a nice promo some time ago...
