I'm bored of it already and I've only read this thread on how to get it.

This is the full OXa which is in Syntronik (not free). It is a 49.99 value, not a cut-down version of the OXa synth. You get the full OXa plus the other features of Syntronik like the arpeggiator, a comprehensive set of effects, and more.

I keep seeing that web address as "fakemedia". I've been brainwashed by ...

I have had good results for what I am going for. I like old school low end bass lines with a laid back feel. Think Pink Floyd, Skynyrd, and the Doobie Brothers. I am still in the learning phase I can tell you that for sure, and it's not as easy as it is to get results with EZD or EZK. My first outings with it on one of my songs I was getting really good results on my Surface PRo, which is a touch screen. Trying to do the same song on my main music computer hasn't been as successful, IDKW. But I think I can get better bass lines out of it than I can play. That's for sure. I still think Toontrack hit it out the park on this one. I really do. I still love this software and it will be used for everysong I will make from now on.

A random thought, if you like. I've been faffing around making a new banner for my project. It is based on my circular design and is straight text for long rectangular banners for Bandcamp, for instance:- Better than a kick up the asre with a rusty steel toe cap. I think.

Not trying to beat Larry or anything, just posting some free sound effects I published on 99Sounds. https://99sounds.org/free-sound-effects/ There's 99 sound effects in total, all royalty-free (24 -bit WAV). Also incudes a Kontakt patch. Designed for use in movies and trailers mostly, but you can use them anywhere of course. Enjoy!

Ok, so the download of the DVD works with the word from the German edition, not the English one. Luckily the big headline is easily readable in the table of contents: https://www.falkemedia-shop.de/sound/beat/beat-07/2020

This question has come up a few times so I I am sharing some info I got from Celemony. This primarily applies to SONAR users who are now using Cakewalk by BandLab. As part of SONAR Platinum users got a license of Melodyne 4 Essential. (If you are a new Cakewalk by BandLab user you are offered the trial version of Melodyne) Melodyne 5 has many advantages over Melodyne 4, including ARA 2 integration and workflow improvements. As far as Melodyne 5 Essential goes the biggest advantage is that unlike version 4, it supports polyphonic pitch to MIDI out of the box. In version 4 you had to purchase Melodyne Editor to get this. To get your free Melodyne essential update to Melodyne version 5. a. Login to your Celemony user account and find Melodyne 4 Essential b. Click License Options c. Click the Download button for your free update. d. Install Melodyne That should be it. If you have any issues transferring your license contact Celemony support.

The Roland offerings are no better or worse than most of the other prosumer interfaces such as Tascam, Steinberg and the like. They don't touch the quality of something like Apogee or RME. The Clarett line is in that range and a good value in comparison. The Scarlett range is more similar to those others. I think the pres sound a bit better than something like Tascam to my ears. Presonus has some decent interfaces too. If you use a decent outboard preamp into line inputs mic preamps become less of an issue. You really have to sort through the sales jargon and the specs to get a better picture. At the end of the day all preamps have some noise and harmonic distortion. Most of them have very little noise at 60% volume or less. A Scarlett pre might have 10% more noise than an RME pre. If the input signal is healthy there should be no need to push them up much higher. It goes deeper than that. You need clean power filtration in the interface and I think Focusrite have done a good job since they use wall warts. Good RF protection is another factor. The better interfaces have lower S/N ratios than the less expensive ones. The A/D converters are usually stable enough that most human ears can't detect a huge difference. Presonus uses something called XMAX that's supposed to stabilize the crystal oscillations. That's a company trademark term and it might be more fairy dust than reality. Sort of like the "waveguide" technology JBL uses on their monitors. It's patented. It's probably an improvement. How much I can't say. Scientists and techs like to see hard data on an oscilloscope to determine how much noise is in the electronics. Musicians on the other hand, use their ears. The differences are not huge unless we are comparing Apogee to M-audio low end sub 100 dollar interfaces.

I have been devouring the Mix with the Masters videos the last few months and they are worth every single penny. Specifically, the amount of knowledge I've gained from CLA alone was worth the price. Last week I paid extra and got a 7 hour webinar with CLA and only 15 other participants. He taught us a ton and worked hard to make sure we enjoyed it. He also critiqued a mix of each of ours - that was FANTASTIC! Anyway, if you've got some time on your hands and want to up your mixing game, I recommend this site 100%!

I considered the 18i8, but opted for the 18i20 so I could rack mount it. I've got the older Behringer ADA8000. The ADA8000 mic pres aren't great, but the line inputs are perfect.

If they didn't want a sales channel, they shouldn't have established one. And we weren't warned we would be treated as second-class purchasers by using their sales channel. I'm loathe to buy anything they produce, directly or indirectly, again.

The Tempest - Piotr Tchaikovsky - Claudio Abbado & the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (I'm actually listening at home on a CD - better fidelity than UTube)

This either needs a new name or a new demo video.

This is one of the cases where buying it direct was the better deal. To be honest they really need to fold the content updating/management and software update management into the plugin itself. It should be able to download the content and software from their servers, regardless to where you bought it. The new presets are nice. Adding one preset to another as new layers is very cool (maybe I could do that before?)

Vapor, and Percussive Adventures 2 will no longer load into Kontakt. I know that Native Instruments said that you would no longer be able to do a fresh install, but I thought that it would not affect the libraries on my current computer. I was using Vapor in a current project, but now I'm not able to. Does anyone know the support email address for Native Instruments. I'm not finding it. Thanks in advance. Boy this sucks! I started Native Access, and I was able add the libraries as third party install. All is working, thankfully!

If those libraries are originally designed for a certain version of K, you should always, as in forever, save an installer of said version. If you don't have it the web is full of resources. Exercise your right to use your paid for libraries. And NI are crazy in that respect (not loading certain libraries? ) It's just samples and some code, darn it!

I love it. This is something I had wanted for a long time. I can start with a regular piano chord, then with the options I can turn it into what I am looking for while still being in key. For me it works great. Again, I love it.

Unless something has changed there are hundreds of presets bundled with DiscoDSP 's version of OB-Xd. When I right-click on the plug-in I see 23 banks pf presets. IIRC, most were created before DiscoDSP took over development of the plug-in.

I'm gonna give it more time , quality time , right now ,conditions at home aren't optimal creation wise , gonna try to move and have creative times as well as spiritual and healthy oriented .... my body is giving me signs of "wtf zo "

We're pleased to announce the 2020.05 release! This release introduces dynamic waveform scaling when changing clip automation, offline activation, enhancements to mono plug-in support, improved mouse wheel handling, lots of automation enhancements, smoother UI transitions, engine/UI optimizations, and over 60 bug fixes, all in keeping with our goal of making CbB as reliable and enjoyable as possible. Thanks, The Bakers For new feature details, see New Features. Should you need to revert to the 2020.04 release, you can download the Cakewalk 2020.04 Rollback installer. 2020.05 Highlights Dynamic waveform scaling when changing clip automation When Display Clip Fade/Envelope Attenuation is enabled in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display, Cakewalk dynamically updates the waveform amplitude when changing clip fades, clip gain automation and clip pan automation. The waveform display is pre clip FX Rack and only applies to clip automation, not track automation. Additionally, clip gain and pan envelopes are not applied to active Region FX clips. i.e. If you have a clip gain envelope on a Region FX clip, it will be ignored unless the effect is bypassed. The Display Clip Fade/Envelope Attenuation option is now also available as a key binding in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Keyboard Shortcuts (under Area: Track View). Offline activation Activation is the process by which Cakewalk validates that your software is genuine and being used in accordance with the license agreement. Cakewalk can now be activated by an online or offline process. Cakewalk will operate in Demo mode until it is activated, and saving and exporting will be disabled. A toast notification appears at the bottom of the screen to inform you if Cakewalk has not been activated yet. If your computer is connected to the internet, click the toast notification to open BandLab Assistant and activate Cakewalk. If Cakewalk is installed on a computer that is not connected to the internet, you can use offline activation as long as you have access to another computer that is connected to the internet. To use offline activation In Cakewalk, go to Help > Offline Activation > Export Activation Request to open the Save activation request dialog box. Select the folder you want to save the activation request file to, then click Save. Cakewalk saves a Activation request.crq file. This file is encrypted and machine-specific, and can only be used to activate Cakewalk on the machine that was originally used to create the Activation request.crq file. By default, Cakewalk appends a timestamp to the file name, using the following format: <Month><Day><Year>_<Hour><Minute>. For example: 052120_1157Activation request.crq. Copy the Activation request.crq file to removable media, such as a USB flash drive, that you can transfer to another computer that is connected to the internet. Using an online computer, open BandLab Assistant and sign in with your BandLab ID and password. Click the Apps tab. Under Cakewalk by BandLab, click the drop-down arrow next to the Open button, then click Process Offline Activation Request. If activation is granted, BandLab Assistant generates an Activation response.dat file. Copy the Activation response.dat file to removable media that you can transfer back to your offline Cakewalk computer. In Cakewalk, go to Help > Offline Activation > Import Activation Response to open the Import activation response dialog box. Select the Activation response.dat file and click Open. If the response file is valid, Cakewalk is activated. Early Access toast notification Early Access availability is checked whenever normal updates are checked, and a toast notification appears if an Early Access build is available. The Early Access Program provides pre-release versions of Cakewalk to the public for general testing and issue reporting. We provide Early Access builds to help us get better real world test coverage from users, which is useful to improve the reliability and quality of our releases. Participation is 100% voluntary. Please read this topic to learn more about the program. Enhancements Mono plug-in support changes This release greatly improves the FX Rack handling with respect to mixing and matching mono/stereo plug-ins. These changes apply primarily to compatibility with pure mono plug-ins (mono-in, mono-out). Mono in, stereo out plugin compatibility will be addressed in a future update. These improvements are across the board and work in track/bus/clip FX Racks, FX chains and the ProChannel. Bypassing or removing plug-ins in an FX Rack, Rack bypass or global FX bypass operations will now revert any mono/stereo interleave changes caused by the plug-in, and recalculate delay compensation properly. Changing the mono/stereo interleave from the track strip button now updates the FX Rack routing correctly (Note: this is dependent on whether the ProChannel bin is pre FX Rack and if it contains mono plug-ins). Pitch shifted audio and distortion were symptoms of issues that are fixed in this release. This could occur under multiple scenarios, such as moving plug-ins, bypassing, deleting or undoing. Improved mouse wheel handling Console view vertical scrolling via mouse wheel is less prone to inadvertently adjusting parameter values if there is a brief pause during the scroll gesture (for example, while vertically scrolling with the mouse wheel, suddenly it starts scrolling the volume slider instead). The internal timer that waits for inactivity before treating the next mouse wheel movement as a new operation has been increased from 500ms to 1,000ms. This ensures that the current scroll operation doesn't change mid-gesture. In the Console view, tooltips dynamically show values when changing parameters via mouse wheel. FX Racks for tracks, buses and clips can be scrolled via mouse wheel. Increased contrast of ghosted envelopes The color contrast of ghosted automation envelopes has been increased, making them easier to see against the dark Clips pane background when Automation Lanes are collapsed. Clicking on the bus pane now automatically sets the bus focus strip This facilitates copying and pasting bus envelopes by clicking and pasting. Scrollable Clip FX Rack in Inspector Clip FX Racks in Inspector now display up to 10 plug-ins and are scrollable using both mouse wheel and the scroll bar. Improved support for recording automation via numeric input When recording automation, envelope nodes can now be recorded by typing a value in the pop-up edit controls in the Inspector, Console view, Track view, ProChannel EQ, and EQ fly-out module. The numeric input will be recorded as a Jump during automation recording. To show the numeric input pop-up, give focus to a control or its value display, then press F2, or double-click the value display. Improved recording automation of synth parameters Multiple synth parameters can be recorded in a single record pass and all envelopes are now retained. While loop recording, in order to avoid clutter the automation preview only shows the last loop record pass. All recording envelopes will be displayed when you stop playback. Improved support for copying and pasting automation envelopes Automation envelopes can now be easily copied and pasted from tracks to buses and vice versa. To copy track automation to a bus, first select and copy the envelope from the track, then click on the target bus or lane and paste. You can also copy and paste bus automation to tracks the same way. Moving or copying arrangement sections now properly manages copying and pasting the associated bus and synth automation envelopes. Bus delete stability improvements Bus deletion can now be performed while the transport is rolling without stopping the audio engine. Also an intermittent crash and app shutdown on undoing bus deletion was solved. Rename Clip key binding The Rename Clip command is now available as a key binding in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Keyboard Shortcuts (under Area: Track View). Support for .midi MIDI File extension In addition to .mid, the .midi file extension is now supported for reading. Track view's View and Options menu settings persist globally The Track View’s View and Options menu items now persist globally instead of being stored within screensets. Build numbers uses 3 digits Due to how BandLab Assistant compares versions, the Cakewalk installer now uses three digits for the build number to allow updates to work correctly. Update toast notifications throttled by a period of one day Automatic display of update toast notifications now only appears once daily. Optimizations Flicker free UI transitions when opening projects or switching between projects. Reduced excessive messaging load in the UI. This speeds up operations like scrolling and zooming in larger projects with console view and track view visible. Meters have better general performance while scrolling When using workspaces, projects now open with the correct initial UI layout, rather than opening with the project layout and then visibly switching to the workspace layout. This is faster and prevents unwanted flicker. Many improvements and optimizations for editing mono effects in FX Racks Improvements to drag and drop between clip and track FX racks Solved multithreading race condition leading to latency when using Aggressive thread scheduling model Bug fixes Stability Crash on undo and redo of automation recording of synth parameters Deleting or undoing bus delete operation can crash User reported crash in 2020.04 Waves OVox plugin crashes on project load Crash when using SmartSwipe gesture in Piano Roll view track list Potential crash on startup unless specific Windows DPI settings are used Memory leak when using the Aggressive Thread Scheduling model Null Pointer crash after reordering automation lanes Playback can become stuck after starting Automation Unexpected envelopes created when moving section in project Bus automation copies to tracks unexpectedly with (Arranger) Section move Assigning a bus envelope could cause a crash and display incorrectly in Lanes after reassigning Duplicate automation lanes can be created for unedited automation Draw Tool draws random points when drawing automation outside of lane Draw Tool not working as expected on bus automation in user project Stop at Project End not respected in projects with automation after deleting buses or replacing synths Automation behaves incorrectly after manually typing in a value Automation not fully removed when deleting bus Pasting bus automation should not rely on Copy/Paste Special Pasting bus automation doesn't change the edit filter leading to hidden envelopes Automation envelopes appear out of scale Cannot copy synth automation to buses Draw Tool does not update envelopes preview during playback Adding nodes by typing values during write automation over existing envelope causes unexpected results Synth automation gets discarded unexpectedly while write recording multiple parameters Synth and bus automation is not selected after duplicating clips Using Clip Gain on some Groove Clips causes unexpected drawing when clipping UI Scale for Synth automation not displaying correctly Clip FX in Inspector does not display more than 6 plug-ins Hit zone for Draw Tool on buses does not match Insert Soft Synth Options dialog should remember the checked/unchecked state of the Enable MIDI Output option User reported issue with zoom fader control becoming stuck [Chinese version] Overlapping text in Preferences > Customization - Display Tooltips for controls in the Console view do not update when changing values by mouse wheel Incorrect Track view tooltips when creating a new project with the Basic workspace Console view control tooltips show incorrect value and obscure value label when adjusted via mouse wheel Track view horizontal zoom slider window is shown in wrong position on secondary monitor Now Time cursor draws incorrectly Project load screen flickering Truncated text in various localized dialog boxes Arranger Arranger options in Keyboard Shortcuts should specify “Arranger Track” Arranger Section time-format needs to be backwards compatible Bus Edit Filter changes unexpectedly after moving Section Section operations do not always move/copy track/bus automation Duplicating Section won't duplicate MIDI envelopes for Instrument tracks Double-click rename of Arrangement sections should not rewind to start of section during playback Committing an arrangement containing clips set to absolute time moves data past the end of the original project Misc.

Obelisk 1.1.5: bug-fixes Just to let you know there is an update available for Obelisk. This minor update fixes a few bugs - making Obelisk nicer to use. To get this new version. Please log-in to your FrozenPlain account and get the installer from the downloads section. Running the installer will safely overwrite the old version. Opening old DAW projects that contain Obelisk will not be affected. Here are the main changes: Obelisk now lets you use your keyboard to control your DAW, even when the Obelisk window is open. Previously Obelisk would sometimes stop the keys from getting through. This was especially irritating when trying to press the spacebar to play your track. Logic X: Fixed an issue where preferences where not being saved between sessions. Preferences such as the GUI window size or GUI theme. Fixed crash when trying to use Obelisk with an empty scale that had no notes in it. Minor changes to the GUI. Namely, the 'factory presets' menu was misleading as the 2 options there were really just ways to reset the state. Visit your FrozenPlain account to get the update

I will let you know nearer the time. Just be ready, okay.

So, when were you going to tell me about it??? 😮 Wow, AND, I just discovered that you released one at the end of February without telling me too???!! 🤔 Well, the jokes on you Budsk! I just bought both, AND, because Beach said I could "Name My Price" I bought it for £-100! 😜😁 Actually, upon thinking about it, I've got some gear I want, so I might just buy Beach again for £-10,000 this time! 😆

Great Bluesy sounds that sound as they are coming from the sophisticated side of Chicago south. I could almost fee the concussion wave from those toms and bass pedal (cool). Well done!

Dear Friends, Issue solved ! As you already mentionned, I do confirm that problem was on Bandlab Services side. Studio Instruments Suite has been successfully downloaded and installed on my pc. Go ahead with music creation ! :)

This includes 8 NKI instruments; Brazil Guitars 80bpm Classical Guitars Various bpm Club Guitars 120bpm Disco Guitars 120bpm Funk Master Various bpm Guitar Lab Various bpm Phased EL Guitars 100bpm Phased Rumba Guitars 100bpm. Apparently more genre offerings can be found within these 8 NKIs, including Acoustic, Pop and Rock. Even a few bass lines 3,000 loops taking up about 3.5 GB of hard disk space, when uncompressed. Requires FULL version of Kontakt 5.0 or higher. The Zero-G demos are too FUNK-EE! 🤪to appeal to me, leaning too much on the Disco and Funkmeister loops. But "Donbo" Dan's video demonstrates a lot more of the range. I like the Brazilian guitar. Worth twenty bucks? Everybody can always use more Rumba in their template, right? Full SLR Review HERE Steve B said he was actually inspired by this thing.

What you hear is actually not mono, but stereo. There is signal fed only to the left channel, because the microphone is a mono source. When you record mono signal, like microphone, on a stereo track, it gets recorded on the left. Change the track to mono, then you should hear your voice from both sides. Mono signals, like microphone and guitar, are usually recorded on a mono track. Maybe there is an option in the interface settings to double the mono signal to a stereo track, like Martsave above suggests, I don't know. Having a mono track, you can use the panning normally, panning a stereo track, you usually need to use a channel tool to have full control.

I think you need to copy the tracks & buses separately as the track view & mains view are separate sources / destinations. 2020.05 makes it easier to copy bus envelopes to tracks (and vice versa), but the downside of this is that it will paste the bus envelopes in the selected tracks if you set them as the destination. You'll notice that you needed to manually select the master bus when doing a select all on the track view. This is because the tracks are a different source than the mains. When you selected track one for pasting, it set the tracks view as the destination, so everything was pasted to the tracks. Now I'm not saying that what you're experiencing is the correct behaviour, but this is the reason why its happening. I'll discuss with the team as to what we think should be the rules if the clipboard contains both track & bus data. [Edit] - For the specific case shown, Duplicate Selected Clips ( CTRL + D ) might be a better solution. This has special logic to ensure the paste destination always matches the source. Also once duplicated, the selection contains the copy - so it should be easy to drag to the desired position.

My biggest gripe with it.

This was done largely for discoverability in the 2020.04 release, so that it would be more obvious to users what the "A" tab does. But yes, there are several workflows. If you're using the Arranger Inspector for navigation, you may not need the arranger tab visible. It's also useful to being able to toggle off the arranger inspector to access the track inspector (esp. the master volume fader) when making adjustments, while keeping the arranger track in view.

yes just the player unfortunately - I got excited for a couple of minutes when I first saw the deal 😉

Just player version IIRC.

I use Obelisk so this is good news.

Thanks, Tom. I've never done soundtrack work before so you could certainly be on-point! Something to keep in mind for sure...

Is this one the same as in the base Syntronik product?

Nah. Facts change all the time as people digg more and find more evidence. Truth on the other hand never change. Most of science is rewritten all the time because of this.

Here's me in my first band, Rage, with my Cherry SG with Bigsby! Sure wish I still had it!

FWIW I still use sf2 as my preferred sampling format. My main reasons: 1. They're easy to manage as they're self contained (unlike sfz which has all the samples loose in a separate folder). I can also easily combine many of them into a single sound-font. 2. It's supported by several different players across many platforms. 3. Most players are far lighter on CPU than something like Kontakt. The only thing that I find missing from sf2 is it not supporting release samples, but I've never found this to be a huge issue. Setting the release time on the player usually suffices for me. Sure, if you want massive control over your samples and need scripting, then Kontakt is the way to go... but 99% of the time sf2 does the job. Oh, and I use SampleLord as my preferred player. It's 32 bit so I run it through JBridge in CbB. I also have it running on my SMPro V-Machine.
