Here is a wav that I made with EZ Bass, EZ Drummer, EZ Keys. This is waht EZB can do.

I was working with the Drum and Keyboard tab last night. In combination with the Audio Tracker and the Grooves that come with EZB, I am starting to piece together some really good sounding bass lines with lots of variety and flash!! I have found with the keyboard midi dragged into EZB you can use the left hand or right hand. Each one gives different results. Now also add the midi drum to EZB and you have three choices that can cover almost the whole song. Now look for grooves based on those generated clips and you can slice and place little fills all over the place. Yep, they hit this out the park!!

I haven't seen anybody mention how stretchable the interface can be.

lol it was the wikest resistance i saw James ...come on !!

Definitely worth it IMO! There is also Sore, Plethora, and Cinematrix for $15 and Felicity for $4 a little farther down the page http://www.rigid-audio.com/index.html

I decided to get this but forgot all about it because of EZBass. On Saturday, I went, "oh no, I missed it again. " But they extended the deal until today. I've spent a few hours with the ADSR sample manager checking it out. For me it is well worth the money. Lots of great world percussion, for one thing. Many, many instruments I don't have, and I have a lot. Of course the one-shots don't compete with multi-sampled instruments, but they still are very usable. I could see myself using one of the loops or redoing something similar with a drum replacement instrument. Having spent a lot of time in Brazil, I think the samba school Carnival stuff is pretty great. It has a real energy to it that you can only find in the Cinesamples Brazil library. There are also "instruments," samples that you can stretch on your keyboard with a sampler. Some pretty unusual stuff. I'm definitely going to take a few minutes to throw some of these together. It will be interesting to have a conch shell instrument and maybe layer it with something else.in Falcon. I discovered that I already had some of it, because I had their Ethnic Flavours library, which I got free with another purchase. They didn't bother to mention that. The only thing is that it will take quite awhile for me to sort it out into usable folders, that go with the filing system I've been building for all my world samples. It's really a mess, because they just through all these separate libraries together and called it a "world pack." It would be nice if they just took a few hours put it together into a sensible package rather than have all their customers have to drive themselves nuts doing it one by one. If you don't organize these samples, they're not really worth anything. This is an Ikea library, only it doesn't come with any instructions. ? Here you go, everybody! Have fun figuring it out! But I don't want to complain. It is a really amazing deal, even by typical Zero-G sales pricing standards.

I bought this some time ago for $20, but it was a waste of money. The samples are ok, but the VST plugins are horrible. They are *very* memory intensive, and not multi-timbral. So if you score a 12-piece orchestra, you have to load 12 instances and might already run out of memory. The mod wheel should do dynamics (according to the specs!), but it just doesn't do anything. It regularly crashes my DAW (both Samplitude and Cubase, haven't tried it in Cakewalk yet). Sonivox is aware of the problems, but they don't care about it. They just keep selling this stuff for low prices year after year, with the same bugs.

So the way the template is routed, all the tracks for each group (Woods, Brass, Keys, Perc, Strings) route to a AUX patch point. These patch points feed into the Stem aux tracks which then feed into the Full Mix patch point. The full mix patch point feeds into the Master bus (so you can hear it). The Stem tracks can be armed for recording (and/or saved/exported) so that you can save a version of the stem without any effects. The print tracks are the same as the stem tracks, but with whatever effects you add on the stem tracks. So if you need to provide clean stems, with no effects, you can record the stem tracks. If you need to provide stems with effects, put the effects on the stem tracks and record the print tracks. It's kind of a waterfall, each level can be recorded and/or output but that won't include any effects added on that level. Splitting the stems and the print levels means you have an extra shelf you can add effects to. Just don't add effects or make any volume changes to the print tracks since it won't get passed. One thing this template doesn't have is any reverb track routing. It's not hard to add that but it's not there. Sections also aren't broken down into high/mid/low groups either. Which might be something you'd want (so you could do effects on all the low strings for example and different effects on the high strings). I really wish there was an easier way to select a track and then connect the synth that goes with it. You can go the other way in the Synth Rack, but you can't connect a synth from the track.

Homographs are words of like spelling, but with more than one meaning. A homograph that is also pronounced differently is a heteronym. You think English is easy??? 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? Let's face it, English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted but, if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? One index, two indices? And, if the plural of mouse is mice, and that of louse is lice, why isn’t the plural of house, hice, and of spouse, spice? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick'? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You lovers of the English language might enjoy this. There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP." It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning, but we close it UP at night. We seem to be mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time but, if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so... it is time to shut UP! Now it's UP to you what you do with this post.

First of all, to everyone at Bandlab that was working on this - A tip of the hat, what amazing job indeed. When I first requested this back in January, I didnt think it will happen this year - seeing that the pandemic limits certain area's and departments every where around the world. Secondly: Can I just request another feature to this? I've explained most right here on the other side of the link ? Would it be possible to get rid of the envelope with this? Reason for this is . . . When going in to do surgical work it is highly crucial that the overall levels stay exactly the same and intact without the slightest difference in volume. I have done some playing around with this, going deep with the wave and instantly caused the envelopes coming into the nodes to slightly slope down. That is bad, being so used to doing things quick. So by removing the envelope lane to increase or decrease the volume just by highlighting a region "Left click on the mouse while holding down." Think it be a much safer working environment. Even with the already highlightinh of region scrolling up to move the envelope down/up cause problems as it sometimes move the entire envelope. I pray in good spirits this translate over positively. Again - Amazing job. ?

Hey, I actually tried it with a demo before pulling the trigger - that's a big step for me! lol

Leland Sklar - didn't he used to perform with the Smurfs?

Just heard on John Lehmkuhl's weekly Unify livestream that he heard from an Arturia contact that they will be including OB-XA in V collection 8 but wanted to give folks access to something new ahead of the release. The contact said that if you buy OB-XA now they will discount the upgrade cost to VC8 (presumably by the amount you pay now, IDK). Here's the bit where he mentions it... https://youtu.be/sG9Le3k7WMg?t=4395 He also shared that they will be doing a Unify patch library using Arturia synths!

Fixed...Again!

In keeping with the spirit of the Deals forum, I was proud to use my extra 10% code...

Ok, I guess this one might be a bit too much work to build as the staff view is not that popular, but I would love to have a combined PRV and Staff view, like the screen shot below. I like working in the staff view as I'm classically trained. But having the CC lanes in view is quite essential, seeing and changing the velocity and modulation without having to right click each note. Also some actions, like changing the length of a note, are much easier in the PRV than in the staff view. So having all combined would be great. (BTW, this screen shot is from Samplitude)

I spoke to Jrrshop via email and they told me this: Thank you for your order. I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately, Tracktion sends upgrade licenses manually and it isn’t possible for us to deliver them automatically. Since they didn not deliver them yesterday, I’m afraid that we might not receive them until Monday or Tuesday. Would you like to wait or would you prefer to receive a refund? I'll wait until tomorrow....

Joshua Bell Violin is flat out better. Perhaps the most playable Kontakt instrument ever really.

This is the problem lol i'm not at home for now os it might go away the time i come lol !!!! he he ...

25 $ PA vaucher needed if anybody !!!! PLEASE .....!!!!

You say you want a Revolution Well, you know We all want to change the name of Kontakt libraries

I thought about it. But I am no good at that! Most of this has been found out here at work (where I am right now). We've been getting some breaks and I was able to dig into EZB a lot more than I thought I would. Let us know what you think of it. I am curious to see what a bass player thinks about it. I also hooked up TH-U bass amp and Amplitube SVT amp to the DI preset of EZB and man that really opens up the sound of that thing!!

Everyone has their 'way'. I rarely do any individual window in full-screen since replacing 3x 28-inch HD screens with one 55-inch 4k screen. Here's a picture of my common layout in 4k:

That's not entirely impossible. A while back (1-2 years?) I upgraded from VC5 to VC6 for $69, as part of a "buy Pigments for $100 and get VC6 for another $69" deal. Still at VC6. Never saw a VC7 upgrade offer for $99 or less, and probably wouldn't have upgraded even if. The Mellotron is the only thing in VC7 that slightly interests me. Will wait for VC8 (at $99). Hopefully they'll add something else useful/interesting (to me) in 8, or I might skip that as well. Already have a wonderful OB in the form of OP-X Pro II.

It's a long story and I'm just glad to be back . Kenny

Parboiled! will be her Empty schemes . . . a Fraud! to a venerated Meme! thanks for the listens and I appreciate crits and feedback, oh yes indeedy!

https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/spring-morning-demo-eq this is my 9th demo i've posted, will move into final mix this weekend. i really don't know how to categorize this one... any ideas? it's a melodic idea i've had for 20 years, finally put it down on virtual tape. love to get some feedback on the mix and balance of freq's.

Elysium Angel (electronic) Still ironing out the wrinkles in this one. ?

Yup, the code doesn't work without the free trial. The interface is misleading though, as it does accept the voucher, displays the discounted price, then cancels the voucher during checkout. And the silly upgrade price, that's much higher than buying either the collection or the rack without owning any of their plugins... oh, well. A bit puzzling marketing wise - given how popular Soundtoys are, I imagine a lot of people either have the full collection, or own a few plugins (my case); the offer is good enough to draw you into 'upgrading', which you might not do otherwise, so why limit access to the voucher?

No problem, Dave. Sorry about the other code. I didn't know they were having another sale this month, but now we're all set. ?

True, the time saved, only a second or two, is definitely not worth having an unstable system. I found that 2 of the 3 problems I was having are now resolved simply by turning off fast startup. The problem of Sonar getting stuck in memory also seems to be resolved by turning fast startup off, but not 100% sure, I'll know more in a week or so but so far so good.

You need to set your sights higher?

Just to double check - did you sign up for the Effect Rack free trial last month? As musical mentioned above, the code only works if you did (and if you subsequently received the code from them via email).

Ain't sober yet, but got 3 macho reverb IR's that will knock your sox off if I can find them. Comin' soon. John

I think that's why they reduce the price of this (BB cinamatic percussion) - Sonnivox won't (or can't) work out what the issue is. For what it's worth, I sent Cakewalk support a ticket (with a crash dump) to see if they can do something (Of course, they might just say "not our problem"..... but you never know...)

Your WW2 cemetory Margraten Netherlands.

I could listen to Eli recite the old Yellow Pages. Another one in that category is the great John Petrucci. This has zero to do with Groove 3, I’m sorry.

This ^^^^^ I usually can't watch more than 20 mins before falling asleep. I've said it before, he could make an absolute fortune with a bedtime stories subscription service. "Parents - is your valuable evening "me" time being constantly eaten into by pesky kids who for the love of (insert deity of choice) just won't go to frickin' sleep? For a little more than what you're already paying for Netflix Uncle Eli will take care of it every single day, so do the right thing - give him your card details and go get the corkscrew...... you know you wanna!"

Good job on this Douglas.

Indeed, pretty crazy value. I got these separately (on deals, but not as good as this one). The percussion library is notoriously buggy, but when it doesn't crash my DAW, I kinda' like it as well

Thanks, Scott! I use a lot of their products and was looking for another sale to save a bit on the titles I don't yet own. Will go there and check this out.

Hey all! I've been working on Cakewalk since back in the Sonar X days. I've never deserted it even after the Gibson fallout. Below is a playlist to some of the songs that I've released from my Home Studio, all made in Cakewalk of course! These 13 releases are all on the major platforms thanks to Distrokid!

Are you sure that's the code? I get a message that the code isn't available right now. It's May 18 so well ahead of the deadline...

Maybe the word fecking. A-fecking-mazing. So so good.

I have the Korg packs, including the recent Triton update. I do really like the sounds. The previous UIs for each while really old and clunky did work and got me to where I needed to go. I'm really enthused about upgrading to the new GUI. I don't know if I have the heart to do the free upgrade though. I remember the install process as being super convoluted, painful and a real gauntlet to get through. I'll probably do it, but I have to muster up the will power.
