Meanwhile there should be no more doubt, the world is firmly in the grip of COVID19! Many of us spend their time at home and limit social contacts to the absolute necessary. We think it is a great idea to follow the experts advices, so most of our team now work from their homes. Even though it is tempting to go outside again, celebrate with friends and enjoy the approaching summer, stay strong! We hope our giveaway will be a small incentive for you, to stay home a little longer. We talked to the creative minds behind our products and tried to figure out a way to make a helpful contribution to the musicians, some of whom are now without jobs or income. Our favorite idea was to give something to the musicians in need. But we had to realize that there is no way for us to determine who really is. Eventually we came up with the idea to give away 250 of our most popular products by raffle. This is a total of almost 60.000 Euro. The following products are available to choose from: Chris Hein Horns Compact Chris Hein Strings Compact Emotional Cello ERA II Medieval Legends Forest Kingdom II Galaxy X Halls of Fame 3 - Complete Edition KWAYA The Orchestra TITAN 2 We raffle off 25 pieces each and participating is super easy.

run the XLN online installer to update wonder if there is a new product in the pipeline ?

Just to clarify for this thread, the problem RBH was having has been resolved. He has a broken DirectX installation that causes even the Microsoft DirectX diagnostic tools (DXDiag) to crash. The new version of Cakewalk uses Direct2D for some drawing optimizations for the arranger UI and this is what triggers the problem on his PC. Normal Win7 systems are unaffected by this problem.

You are correct. I am not a frog. Tiger was created for a short film I wrote and directed called "Tiger: His Fall & Rise" starring the late Adrienne Shelly. But I am a good guy as a movie publicist. I've represented people like Jim Jarmusch, Pedro Almodovar, Ang Lee, Agnes Varda, Errol Morris, Lisa Cholodenko, etc.

Lowest ever. Go! No, run!

For those that are wondering how to get started with MSuperlooper, I made a quick video explaining the basic functions and modes. I hope this helps.

Mine too. My brain as well, I've been thinking about it for a few days now Value-wise it's definitely quite an offer, especially for someone who doesn't have a lot of plugins. But I learned the hard way that I need (to try at least) to get stuff I really need/use. And I have comparable, or better options for most parts. As a long-time lurker, half of them probably thanks to Larry ?

Yep if I hadn't got it for the cheaper price I probably wouldn't have bothered at the IK price - even with Jam Points it would have been around £150 - £160 and I was mainly interested in ST3 Max & Miroslav (I already have Miroslav CE)

JRR was actually cheaper if buying from Europe (no VAT). I was on the fence about getting this, but their 'new' price sorted out my dilemma

God I hope it's AD3. I mean, I can keep hoping but I'm starting to think they threw in the towel with drums.

I passed, I do not feel I fall in the target group. Good luck to those that are participating.

XLN insistence on the installation of these unnecessary 1’s and 0’s ( without me being given a choice upfront!) is just AAX backwards. I don’t apologize if this has already been said. I just have to relieve my self.

I picked Forest Kingdom II, Medieval Legends II, and The Orchestra!

XLN knew you deleted the AAX install plugins from AD2, so they repaired the mistake they thought you made ?

Just to be clear, it’s indeed the greatest verb (and synth) I know, but it eats cpu, although there’s a “lite cpu” version included. Now, go!

This is the lowest price ever right? Fleer's gonna say something that pushes me over the edge.

Don't know if this is kosher, but I'll hijack my old post for a memorial day post: https://davidsprouse.bandcamp.com/track/soldiers-h

I recently decide to clean up my Windows SpitFire LABS installations. I realized that I had installed some of the components (libraries) to more than one location and due to my confusion on how the installer worked I was messing things up further. I wanted all my LABS content to be located together on my audio external drive separate from my Kontakt libraries. First - fixing the Default Path (where new content installations will default to) The 'Default Content Path' in your LABS Setting is the parent folder of the 'Spitfire Audio - LABS' folder, not the folder itself - it's where 'Spitfire Audio - LABS' is to be placed or found. Next relocating LABS content & fixing LAB's search paths. LABS keeps its search paths in Windows in its configuration file, Spitfire.properties, on your system at this location: %APPDATA%\Spitfire Audio\Settings\ Just copy the above text and paste it into Windows File Explorer then you'll see Spitfire.properties along with other files. It's just a text file. You can open it with NotePad or your favorite text edit. I found that this file contained search paths to every location I had ever installed LABS to; it also had bad entries from a bug in earlier releases where the path had "\/" separating directories, for example C:\/SomeFolder\/SomeSubfolder, instead of '\\" which is currently used. This is how, after cleanup and relocating all the libraries to my external drive, location "D:\Audio\Big Data\Spitfire Audio - LABS" the contents of Spitfire.properties looks on my system. { "Labs": { "patches": [ "D:\\Audio\\Big Data\\Spitfire Audio - LABS\\Patches" ], "presets": [ "D:\\Audio\\Big Data\\Spitfire Audio - LABS\\Presets" ], "samples": [ "D:\\Audio\\Big Data\\Spitfire Audio - LABS\\Samples" ] } }

hahaha exactly the same for me, I was waiting to sell some plugs and buy that one from JRR but now I am out. My wallet says thanks

If you need film/movie/video/game sound effects I recommend these guys very highly. They have bundles and they offer upgrade prices to the bundles that take into account what you have already bought. The sound effects are really good, though they only cover some what limited areas (weapons and robots originally and now a bunch of horror and UI). They also have some audio plugins and Reaktor things as well. Those are interesting if you are doing sound design.

Adaptiverb owner. The hi res is there. The tweakability is there. The complexity is, too. And it all makes your CPU say "Feed Me, Seymour!!!" I've used it mostly for sound design rather than regular mixing duties. The main trick up its sleeve is that it can tune your reverb tails into the notes of the sound source. You play a c triad, the reverb comes out strongly tuned c triad. Like it hides the overtones in the reverb tail. It also is good at feeding the reverb tail back into the original signal in weird ways. It's a pretty special tool but honestly I use the free Subspace ten times as much. Fwiw

Hey there! Since all of these packs are fully playable virtual instrument patches, they do not infringe copyright. (We've received detailed legal advice on all this, of course) If we were offering exact loops, beats, or musical phrases from the songs, that would be a different story. What's cool about these packs is that you get the timbre and production quality of the sounds, and you can run with that in any direction you want! Thanks for the feedback!! -A

no thanks. I'd prefer AD2 to continue support instead of a money grab on a upgrade I don't need. AD Still sounds just fine, and if you just need more grooves, there are plenty of other option on the market to add to it/map and translate to, etc.

Right! Committing changes is a tough thing to learn. I've seen an interview with Eddie Kramer, where he mentioned this as a necessity of 70s' studio workflow. Got me thinking that revisiting and readjusting processing isn't always a great idea. I'm yet to start exporting stems for mixing, though.

There is no deadline set currently for the coupon. The pricing isn't introductory it is MSRP just the bundle is just set as a preorder.

I quit installing the VST2 versions, the VST3 versions are good.

I agree! thanks for the feedback. can't help to think that is a very good way to invite pirates to join a pay system and support developers. I am from a 3rd world country where NO ONE buys soft, even big studios download cracked soft. And that happens all over the world. I believethis kind of system can bring some bucks that where never on the table

I'd maybe subscribe for a $1 a month. Let me know when it's a $1 a month.

Actually I have been a movie publicist for over 45 years. These days I often teach marketing. I closed my company long ago, but if I was pitching this account... I would explain that many people had tried to make a great bass virtual instrument, but they had finally solved all the issues, and added the features that made it work. They had spent ** years solving all the problems. You can't make the claim that people should buy your product over the competition if you say that there are no other products. ujam isn't exactly an obscure product, even if you don't own one. IMHO the ujam basses are the best things they sell. I doubt I am the only one who thinks that. And if you think about it, they are kind of saying to ujam owners that you think they are too dumb to notice how ridiculous this claim is. You could say that there would be expansions brought out in every genre. They may think that doesn't need to be said, because they are thinking only of the people that already know about Toontrack. That's thinking small. Marketing is about using this product to get people who have never purchased from them before. So show people what is coming. That makes the better investment over the competition. This is what's coming. Your bass virtual instrument will just keep getting better and better. Again, this helps a noob choose between toontrack and ujam. One of the most popular YouTubers is the bass-obsessed Davie504, who has over 6 million followers. His videos usually get a million views. He would probably hate this product, but maybe a beef battle could be fun. A war. And you would reach an international audience of bass players in one very inexpensive marketing deal. This is off the top of my head. While politicians lie and it works for them somehow, my years of experience have shown that it is better to respect the people I want to buy stuff and tell them the truth. That way I can keep coming to them with the next thing.

Enjoy!

I want to once more thank everybody who replied to my query, you've all been so helpful. Trust me I'm so happy to say that Cakewalk is being installed onto my D Drive as we speak. I achieved this using a little of everyone's suggestions so it was a collaborative effort on all of your parts, thanks team!

Okay, I see that too. So, the problem does seem to be the way Cubase reports the version number. Good to know.

Wow, this is truly bizare. How can Cubase report version 4.30 but then load the plugin that clearly shows 4.91? My god, I'm in the Twilight Zone!!! Oh well, back to troubleshooting...I'll report my findings when I'm done. Thanks again, Larry.

This 'issue' is overdemonized... Solution is very simple and used by pros for years... If project is done just print your tracks with effects into stems and that's all. If you wanted to remix the project after some years you would most likely use your favorites plugins at that time - not those used years ago (otherwise you would have still using them, right? To keep all old plugs working you would also to freeze your OS or pay for updates (not every brand has Melda's policy) but what if you would like to buy new super speed machine to run zylion plugins... Etc... Fear about subs will be not possible in some years si similar to fear about your plugin you won stop work after some updates, manufacture will consider it obsolete without support or maybe new version of plugin working on updated for some reason (new device drivers not working) is not setting compatible and remixing is necessary, brand can disappear in a few years and kept version not working anymore as license server is not working etc... Zylion things can happen in future... I know, subs haters could feel need to crash me for what I have written, but please have mercy I belong to both sides I have Slate sub (and very happy of that) and own zylion of PA, Waves, etc plugins (unfortunately many of them are not used by me so it was huge waste of money - could buy easily hw gear instead of it). We can continue the discussion in some years later to see what fears actually are right... Not trying to convince anybody who is not-convince-able about it. I am not payed by any subs devil Anyway I like to own plugins because I am heavily infected by GAS and collectors syndrome but the more I am thinking and calculating about money spent, well... And more new great plugins are coming... Everyone has her/his own preferred model and money to spend so we are picking the choice we like and believe the more... Just it is efficient and wise to be aware of all sides of the thing... Especially for not very experienced guys it is good to consider all possibilities in their situation not just follow 'the only good way' because everybody on forum hates subs... Kind of similar to discusses about top-down mixing Some people believe it is most efficient way and the others quite opposite Music is goal, plugins are only tools... It is important to ensure business continuity after years and if anybody feels it is for her/him the only way to own everything what used for any project and can afford it so its her/his choice. Subs are making possibility for people like like hobbyists and small home studios to get for small money all plugs from manufactures at once without heavy investment... And without big risks... Don't need to worry about selling or paying for updates...

I personally prefer rent to own but they usually don't do actual deals in this. The way I look at it, I look at plugins I bought a decade ago and most I no longer even use. This type of subscription gives a lot of plugins that would cost thousands for a cheap price and I could use them only as long as I need or as long as they are relevant to modern production then cancel and move on to new things or maybe they will swap them out. Either way, $120/yr isn't bad for something like this.

I battled with a 60Gb SSD on my PC - when SSD prices were crazy - so feel your pain. Another good clean up option is Wise Care 365 - it picks up stuff that Windows clean up doesn't. Good luck. I swapped my 60Gb drive out for a 256Gb a while ago and also recently installed a 1Tb external Samsung SSD (under USB 3) to replace my ageing 1Tb HDD.

"Sweet Home Chicago" - The Blues Brothers

Seems like only yesterday ... well, it does to Don Powell.

Thanks. I had no idea about this. Just tried it out. Works in both ST3 and ST4.

You should see the FL users who always gives Image Line business advice fearing they would go under with their free lifetime updates that have existed for 20 years.

I did it...I've downloaded the Free Courses and will see what I can "glean" in 90 Days...no harm...no foul.

By the way, just to make sure I'm not doing it the unnecessarily hard way, can someone verify that this is the way it should be done? 1) Download, install, and authorize the separate VST instruments. 2) Download the associated sound packs one by one as zip files from the website for each product. You can at least control + click to select a few at a time. I'm downloading them to my backup drive for archiving. 3) Unzip each of those zip files somewhere. In my case, to the desktop. 4) Run the installer for each of those unzipped archives. Then delete the unzipped folder from the desktop. 5) Run the appropriate product to update the database. This takes literally days. If I'm not doing it this stupidly long way, then it's really ridiculous that they haven't written some sort of tool to assist with this in some way. The downloading one-by-one I can live with, but there should be a way to point the programs to a directory and tell them to install everything!

These are great for rootsy stuff if you have the money.
