For those of us who will have NO money, due to not having jobs, due to the Coronavirus, get ready for the onslaught of DIRT CHEAP plugins due to nobody having any money.... This has been a Public Service Announcement Thanx...and goodnight! PS. I, on the other hand, will be working OVERTIME, free of charge, to bring you ALL THE DEALS that you simply CANNOT AFFORD!!!

250 euros for the update when the previous version does not reach the year and a half of existence. Ridiculous to put those prices.

is out now with an intro offer of 60% off untill May end. It's an Overdrive / Distortion plug-in to enhance your tracks with an expansive palette ranging from subtle creamy saturation to a brutal sonic overdrive (!) Have a look at $32.74 http://everyplugin.com/crushstation.html

It's gotta be bad if bapu don't wannit.

I prefer BFD from a kit perspective but SD3 from a usability perspective. If they put a way to import BFD3 kits and grooves into SD3 I'd be 100% SD3 and never look back.

They really don't need to. More kits could be added to the existing AD2 engine, it has nothing to do with needing a different engine/version. My vintage guitars also still play and sound just as good as they used to. Billboard hits have been made with AD2. Sorry, I don't think we need something that "sounds better" getting quality sound out of the program is on the person sitting in the chair. If top 40 hits with mega studios and budgets can use AD for a drum sound, I think we know where the bar is. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0qnxHbvferhyRDdOD4Loom No, they are not my favorite kits (frankly Drum Core has that, and the samples they used are likely even older than AD2) , but this has more to do with the kits sampled than the actual sound. AD 2 is capable of playing back drum recordings/samples. Garbage in Garbage out. As long as they put a good sounding recording into the AD2 interface it is good enough. SD3 is just absurd. I don't need over 230 gigs of drum samples. I just Jamstix to run AD. If I didn't have that my argument against all the programs is we need something that isn't just statically using midi files. That is where the tech needs to head, not improved sound quality. Take off all the effects in the program and use your own. If you cant' get a usable sound out of that, the time to move to a different hobby/profession. My .02

Here is a recent composition I just completed.....ok maybe not because I keep going back to my mixes over and over again. I'll be honest. This started out in CbB. I had an issue with my Kontakt tracks getting all mixed up when I unfroze them. I had to do some salvage work and save what I could as track exports which ended up in Studio One. That wasn't my original plan. The main mix was made in Cakewalk but I added a few more tracks and mastered in Studio One. I appreciate any comments. I will be back to listen to others work here. I had to break away for a bit and needed my ears. I'lllll be Bach.

https://www.triplespiralaudio.com/ FUNDRAISING RED CROSS FOR COVID-19 with these reductions PLUS sale now on until MAY Seems to be KONTAKT stuff in the main Anyone use there stuff? PS Freebies .. lots of, end of this page https://www.triplespiralaudio.com/products/

So, BFD ain't such a BFD anymore?

They should add BFD 3 to AIR Complete to replace Strike! (Ha ha!)

What is Le Parisien? Le Parisien is a sample library for Kontakt based on three accordions. It’s a faithful recreation of the sound and behaviour of the real instruments. Recorded with three mic positions and multiple round robin in a perfect studio environment. The library includes all the features you need to create beautiful and evocative accordion melodies and accompaniments easily. UI The animated interface shows you a 3D representation of each accordion. In the bottom bar you'll be able to navigate through the different panels. Accordions Rouge, Blanc and Noir. Each one of them sampled with all registers, giving different sound characteristics, and mechanical noises for more realistic results. Dynamics An accordion is a dynamic instrument that can be played with a lot of expression. You can use the mod-wheel to create realistic crescendos and give emotion to your tracks. Sequencer Accordionists can play accompaniments using the left hand while playing melodies with the right hand. The library includes an advanced sequencer with chord recognition.

This is gorgeous. The rouge is my favorite of the three.

Only about six 🤣

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

inMusic owns AIR and SONiVOX so at least they have some experience with audio software... But how good or bad this will turn out, time will tell.

Magix update/upgrade pricing always annoys me. Especially when they throw in an older version of Soundforge into their suite.

This is my copy of Wavestation - and you know I've never updated the software 😎😎 - best $50 I've ever spent I think - someone i knew was "downsizing" their studio and going totally software and basically begged me to take it!!!! Nigel

This.... ^^ However, consider copying them as linked clips. This way, any changes you make to your MIDI data in one track will automatically be reflected in the copy.

Resizable window. I have been on 4k longer than a year now. Come on!

All Eventide PC/Mac stuff is iLok would be surprised if this is not. Edit: No idea about an iOS version. All Eventide's iOS apps are a separate purchase, looks like this one will debut at $9.99. https://apps.apple.com/app/CrushStation/id1463786740 Crushstation not yet listed on App Store, web page is a 'preview'

No.

This is what really happens in "the studio" behind the glass when you book the wrong studio 😎 Kenny

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.

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.

Hello! This song is produced in my Home Studio using Cakewalk by BandLab I hope you like it! Hola! Esta canción está producida en mi Home Studio utilizando como DAW Cakewalk by BandLab, espero que les guste!

Indeed, I'll take BFD3 any day. (Sold my SD2/SD3) According to a couple of the FXpansion dudes, SKoT_FX and Drew_FX it's not the end as usual, time will tell.

When I first saw the title, I thought it was a voucher for something called Ignition 😀

Probably missing "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime" or its corrupted. This page is old but maybe helps: https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2016000033/Unable-to-register-the-DLL-OCX-RegSvr32-failed-with-exit-code-0x3 First of all, make sure your Windows is fully patched. You can also try re-installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2015-2019.

I have Seurat which is really nice and well worth it at that price Aidan. Tempted by one of their other offerings.

I use some of his stuff. Very well designed and very usable.

not good news for anybody - especially the staff I think.

Acquisitions are usually indicative of "other issues"... as example "Gibson acquires "Cakewalk"... It can be good or bad....

Hi Wookie, Wow this was an epic + at times like being in a cosmic call centre 😉 I liked the bass line which threads through the piece + found it immensely relaxing. Thanks for sharing. regards paul

Thanks for the reassurances about Melda VTS3 plug-ins working in Cakewalk. I asked because I have been exploring some possible issues I have had recently. In another forum (KVR) it was noted that the plug-ins use some OpenGL routines. Since my PC is an older model, it doesn't have the ability to use many newer OpenGL routines. I like the Melda plugins I have used so far and will be looking into updating my graphics abilities. Thanks also for the SuperLooper video!!!

I've experienced to same problems. CbB crashes while editing transient markers and beat markers. Edits are not saved.

It appears when downloading Miroslav sound files you do NOT need to download the 5 Sound Updater files located in Miroslav's Download Resources (where the manuals are). It looks like the sounds in the normal download section have already been updated.

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.

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

Yep, interesting approach. Heck, I’m an Omnisphere *****. And a verb *****. And a piano *****. And a strings *****. And a ...

Lowest ever. Go! No, run!

Considering yearly upgrades and such... I think the wiser decision is the subscription service (Pro X Suite 365). At the end, software is a service and not only a product.

The basic workspace has screensets unchecked. If you want to use that workspace with screensets you can save a copy of it with screensets turned on again in manage workspaces.

This is what I would try: 1. Create 2 folders on your D drive: D:\Cakewalk Projects D:\Cakewalk 2. In a new batch file (.bat) on your C drive place these 2 softlink lines: mklink /D "C:\Cakewalk Projects" "D:\Cakewalk Projects" mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk" "D:\Cakewalk" 3. Run the batch file as an administrator on your C drive. After you’ve done that, then just install CbB as normal, since the folders for CbB exist as represented by the softlinks, they will be the target for the install but the data will be on your D drive.

I too have multiple trips of soul searching in this area. Ya gotta go! Let's just say, usually "social distancing" is not a problem there. Very cool track, Bjorn. Certainly evokes the feeling. Mix-wise, I think the whole piece could be longer, actually. I like the drums that come in, and if you are going to have drums then turn them up? . . . and at the very beginning you might insert a half a second of silence, it starts rather abruptly upon hitting play. Meet you at that one motel with the cabin-y looking sprawl at the base of the Vermillion Cliffs. cheers, -Tom

This is a beautiful piece Bjorn. I too love that flute!

Sounds OK hear, has a sort of late 60's early 70's song vibe with a modern mix..

I liked it Bjorn - very relaxing. You utilized quite a palette of sounds in this one. I thought that flute was very cool - it takes the lead in the composition quite nicely.

Also done with Magix. Instead of taking their SpectraLayers upgrade, I bought the iZotope SpectraLayers 6 version. I've uninstalled all of the Magix stuff I bought after SPlat hit the windshield.

I immediately added the Arranger Track to the project I'm working on and am using it to navigate as I mix. Love it so far. Very useful.
