Here's a new VST instrument based on that router ! Kenny

I guess I bought the Orange Rockergain amp for $29. I guess that's what happened.

Mark, that was..beautiful. I don't have any suggestions for you except maybe post some more like this one.

Here's the last song in my "hold" file to finish up. It's time to turn my pc off and my pa on and start writing . Pretty laid back jazz blues style song . I like working in Maj 7. I'm not really sure about a lot of it though, any suggestions would be great. Thanks .. mark https://soundcloud.com/user-810058643/the-blues

Hey everyone, I'd like to share with you my new piano-orchestral composition In the City of Hope: https://soundcloud.com/adam-matejko-698390533/in-the-city-of-hope DAW: Cakewalk by BandLab Libraries: BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover by Spitfire Audio, Labs by Spitfire Audio, Cinematic Percussion by Spitfire Audio, The Free Orchestra by ProjectSAM Noob question: how to put a soundcloud iframe directly in a post (instead of the usual link)? Regards, Adam

I've been working on this video for weeks. I'm taking the step of posting it here because I know many of you are very interested in both of these instruments. As it's long, here's a list of the chapters. I don't think the hyperlinks work, but the ones in the YouTube description do. Importing Music 1:28 ujam Virtual Bassist User Interface 3:31 EZBass User Interface 7:13 Making a Song with EZBass 12:50 Exporting MIDI from EZBass 21:50 Making a Song with ujam Virtual Bassist 22:49 Playing Live with ujam Virtual Bassist 28:27 Fretboard Logic 31:47 Effects 35:36 History of the Virtual Bass 39:18 Final Thoughts 44:10 As part of my research, I even took Eli Krantzberg's Groove3 course on EZBass, which I recommend. So I feel confident that you will learn a thing or two about these instruments if you check out my video, because I share what I learned from him. EZBass is complex, so I do a deep dive on it. The best part for that is "Making a Song With EZBass." ujam instruments are deceptively simple, so I do my best to paint a picture of the amazing artificial intelligence inside them. If you watch all of this, I believe you will have newfound admiration for what ujam has achieved My favorite part of the video by far is Playing Live with ujam Virtual Bassist. This is a duet between ujam's Dandy and NI's Picked Acoustic. FULL DISCLOSURE: THERE IS AN AFFILIATE LINK TO UJAM IN THE DESCRIPTION UNDER MY YOUTUBE VIDEO. BUT NOT HERE!!!

I have Amplitube 4 MAX, which includes the Ampeg SVX 1 kit, but not SVX 2. When I checked my personal offers, SVX 2 was $50. But...this sale offers the SVX1/SVX2 bundle for $40. Using JAM points, I only paid $28 for SVX2. Woot! Best price I've seen, and don't think I'll ever see it lower.

- only for a few days - some products are discounted to a couple of quid, others that are normally a couple of quid are free, and there are a lot of permanently free products. Mostly sound packs, nature sounds, drum packs and some plugins. https://www.edinburghrecords.com/products/

The initial "download" is just the download manager for that particular installer. It does not install itself as a software manager for UJAM. Just installs the specific product. I have several UJAM titles and each of the new items have a separate "installer".

Paulo + Strummy. We could call ourselves Plummy. That would be the nuts.

From the Album Waves Art Austin, clarinet PLAY

Well, we are still in Lockdown here in Cape Town, and we have also had some awful weather, so the last video we were doing from our 2017 album has been delayed a bit. So I was just looking at some old stuff we had done and thought I would just post this video - one of our first videos from about 12 years ago - have to say I was really surprised at how bad the "technical" quality was - looks very grainy - things on this front have really improved - but anyway the music still sounds OK I think - hope you enjoy it Cheers Nigel PS - you might have to turn the volume on as this is hosted on our website and sometimes the volume is muted https://www.devinelie.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/honey_on_the_beach.mp4

the next issue is ready for you! Beat issue #177 brings you 100 pages of reviews, workshops, tutorials, interviews and scene buzz for producers as well as 15 GB of sound and software. Our plug-in highlight Ozone Elements 9 is a real game-changer when it comes to stereo widening and - of course - mastering your tracks. Available through Zinio

Unfortunately, as of today os - 1 actually means windows 10 1507 which was released in July 2015, around 5 years ago. This isn't really the choice of the developers either. Management is the one that decides which OS versions are supported. The update for the C runtime can be found here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows It will help a lot of programs install under windows 8 and 7, but it might also not be enough.

What is odd is that "installer" then actually downloads the installer and files it uses for the installer. On the machines I ran it on it downloads what is in effect the actual installer. The initial program they give you is effectively some downloader application that makes sure it is downloading everything needed, but doesn't actually end up installing the program or used as a manager such as paulo mentions.

As I suspected. Thanks for confirming.

Good song with great vocs and backing vocs. .. arrangement and mix sounds well balanced.

Any of the Lindell plugs are good. The SSL console strip is another good one. Console N is also good. Opticon comp another good one Black Box good. Townhouse... excellent. Maag.. either one I could go on!!

Mark - this is really chilled - loved it Thanks for posting, Nigel

@Philip G Hunt - Herb was a guy who used to post in the old CW forum who often turned just about any topic into a shameless plug for one of his songs.

@Lynn you are to kind and I am most thankful for your ears, kind words and continued support, I just go where the music takes me, as Edgar once said there are only 13 notes.

@Starship Krupa this is what it looks like and how to open it, you need to configure it in Preferences > MIDI > Control surfaces to create one and set what the MIDI I/O ports it will use.

Is it possibly a VST with an expired trial period? Some of them do audio dropouts, some of them produce bursts of noise.

I tried to stack a survey voucher on that but it wouldn't allow it as the survey voucher required a $39 purchase, but I was totally ready to make off w/ that Rockergain for $4

Really enjoyed this. Groove & tasty guitar, harp & vocal work. Brought me back to my days of listening to WJZZ late night in Detroit in the 70's. Great job!

I'm not even sure if I know what the ACT window is. The reason I've not asked for help about this is I'm so clue challenged that I don't know what to ask. I've had the thing for years without knowing that it was possible to control plug-ins with it. The only thing I've done with the nanoKONTROL in Cakewalk is follow Mark's instructions. I think I need to watch a tutorial before I go any further.

Btw: you can STILL get Waves' Element 2.0 Virtual Analog Synth (and Thorn Solo) for free through July's issue.

Something to make Blender and other high-end video-demanding apps happy! I know I'll want one for the new computer (once I can afford more than a cup of coffee!).

ANY-2999-KNIFONIUM?-NAH

I've found it happens sometimes, can't hear the blobs when editing, and it seems related to which tool you are currently on . . . if I switch back to pitch tool for example, I can hear them again.

I heard next version will be called “8DIO Banned”

^^ ?? ^^ I would never keep one of these in my studio, especially whilst running. ?

I'm not usually into signature instruments. No way I'd spend $9k for a Les Paul. Well... maybe a real '59 (worth well into 6 figures). ? When I got that R9, it was on deep discount at GC. Had been sitting in the Platinum Room for a long while... and had a couple of tiny dings. Didn't pay anywhere near the current $6500 price. Had an Alex Lifeson LP for a good while. It was an exceptional guitar in most ways. One thing drove me crazy, it picked up router noise (poorly shielded). Best sounding Piezo of any instrument I've owned. My router is in the studio room... and it was nothing but that (rhythmic) "tick, tick, tick, tick...."

"Couple of kewl deals with Plugin Alliance (sorry if this was already posted)" Whenever I list a deal I always start with the assumption it's already been posted, but I figure a little redundancy is better than folks missing a good opportunity.

Here's another really decent one worth every penny! https://tal-software.com/products/tal-filter

Perhaps you should write to Sound on Sound and threaten to cancel your subscription.

There has been several requests in the Feedback Loops forum section requesting the addition of an integrated sampler into Cakewalk by BandLab. Perhaps it would be faster and easier if Cakewalk integrated an existing sampler rather than developing one in house. Big Fish Audio introduced a free sampler called Momentum. According to Big Fish Audio, Momentum Here is a webpage that offers a deeper description and video links. I've created a poll for use as a guide to help BandLab develop a feel for how much desire exists for an integrated sampler. Thank you in advance for responding to the poll and for your comments.

The SONAR Mac prototype was discontinued, but was working, albeit in a limited capacity when compared to the standard Windows version. It was working well in and of itself at the time we were experimenting with it, however it lacks the ability to work with external AU/VST plugins. I can't say that I've tried it with more recent MacOS updates though. The Mix Editor in BandLab is an entirely different animal as it's a much broader cross platform app and ties in directly with BandLab's social/collaborative network. Cakewalk by BandLab is the continued development from the SONAR platform and runs on Windows.

Tape exhibited a low-frequency "head bump" that added a low-frequency boost; this was different for different tape speeds. Also, tape softened transients and added distortion. Even sine waves as low as -20 dB would start showing a tiny bit of distortion, which increased as the level increased. The distortion also meant you could get a higher average level. But bear in mind that there's no such thing as "universal" tape saturation. Tape required interacting EQ and bias adjustments that had an effect on frequency response, distortion, and level. So for example you could have better high-frequency response if you were willing to trade off for more distortion. Also, different tape formulations had different characteristics. Tape Emulation plug-ins should be called "emulations of particular recorders, using particular tape, calibrated in a specific way, and which may or may not have been well-maintained." I wrote a comprehensive article for the Waves web site comparing their J37 and Kramer master tape plug-ins. It does not go into marketing-speak, it's about what tape did and what tape emulation does. It also has a couple audio examples, and I think it will answer pretty much any questions you might have about tape emulation.

Don't worry we got you covered Craigb ! . The pick up selector switch on this guitar does double duty. 1 as a stealth cloaking security device , 2 as a traditional guitar pick up selector . In addition to that , the Pro package deal on this guitar includes a sturdy kneeling Jimi Hendrix Guitar stand to keep your brand new guitar perfectly safe at home and on stage . Pardon the pun but The Jimi Hendrix Guitar stand is fire and bullet proof ...why you ask ? .....Hey Joe ! you just never know ... Also New in 2020 , we have included a live scantly clad bikini model . The Model is prone to throwing Hissy Fits every once in a while and if you can get past those emotionally charged moments and move on you will be rewarded with having her bend over and adjust your pedals to your unique personal tone while you play . For those among us here with vision issues you will also have the added benefit of never ever ever ever loosing a guitar pick ever again after having dropped it . How she can find those lost guitar picks on some of those dark and cluttered stages , I don't know ... It's a miracle I say .....Get yours now while supplies still last ... Kenny PS : We personally guarantee once you start playing this guitar , you will definitely know whether or not your Heart is Healthy enough for a Memorable Deep Nookie Week End In Space .... But Wait there's more ! if you decide to act now we will bla bla bla bla bla bla bla........................oh well it was fun while it lasted .

Very Nice Guitar ! I would Love to get my sweaty hands on one . Good Luck Mesh , Good Luck Steve . Kenny

I use a CS a Mackie Control. I do because some things are easier with a CS and faster. Also, some DAWs can loose focus but with a CS they are always in focus to it. If you do a lot of automation on multiple tracks in real time a CS is a very good way to do that. Further a CS gives one the feel and ergonomics of a mixing desk at a low price. I have been using a CS going back all the way to Pro Audio with a Cakewalk Studio Mix by Peavey. The MC (Mackie Control) is for me the best CS around.

The 'You Save' bit almost looks like a PA subscription sales pitch ? On a slightly more serious note, do the instruments tend to move into the 'lesser' editions as they get older? e.g. ARKHIS is only in CE - if we wait long enough, might it eventually get included in Ultimate (and then Standard after even more time)?
