I held out until this morning! Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! Will make a perfect stablemate for my IK, Waves and PA versions.?

DAMMIT. $49 gone. What does a compressor do again?

I spend way too much time dragging the scroll bars around in the Piano Roll just trying to find the notes I want to edit. It would be great to have a command that would adjust the horizontal and vertical zoom so that all the MIDI note information of the currently selected track were visible (or at least centered) in the window. We have a couple of commands in the Track View that work great for this, I'd like to have something similar for the Piano Roll. (I know that there is already a command in the PRV menu named "Fit MIDI content." The times I tried it, it seemed to function similarly to the shuffling algorithm in Minesweeper. I don't mind if this command stays for backward compatibility, although I seldom have use for it myself.)

The best Bandlab videos are Why pay for them?

That's always been my story, and I'm stickin' to it! t Boy did I get lucky! Deals over, saved me $50...

Just chiming in to say that although this may be glib hucksterism, I really do appreciate and learn from Huart's mixing vids on YouTube. He makes things easy to digest.

Great. 10,000 more new users who are sure, on day one, that they've found a bug everyone else has missed.

.

these are not plugins but plugs, close enough?

It is indeed the best FREE DAW...however those of us who had Platinum really lost about $500 on the deal...for our Lifetime updates...but I guess, in a roundabout kind of way, we're still getting those updates! Perspective!

Couldn't hold out LAGinz? We all fight this battle and loose.

Like their HD, I bet you that you'll still have to download the whole thing anyway.

6. Can Everton hold on to their half time lead against the Red Shite?

Typical... Not a female in sight...

What's a CD?

Just for the sake of accuracy... The Retrologue, Padshop, and Halion SE plug-ins that come with Cubase Pro do load into other hosts. [Edit] And Spectralayers loads to in ARA-compatible hosts. PreSonus Hub works with some of their plug-ins, not all of them. (BTW I'm very glad that some of the Sonar plug-ins load into other hosts. As just one example, the Vocal Strip remains a fantastic vocal processor.)

Just to let you know, I did grab it and I was not disappointed. I was considering getting Cinematic Keys instead, but space concerns nudged me into this deal. Great find!

Even though i purchased my Waves plug ins before they started their massive discount strategy, which means they cost a LOT of money, I have dumped all my Waves stuff as well. I miss just a couple of their plug ins, I think only because I had used them for so long I knew how they operated very well, but apart from those I am glad I did it - so no more WUP for me either!! FREEDOM? Now with XLN stuff I do use Keys now and again, but drums - these were my go to drums for years but now they sit there all on their own in the corner - they desperately need an update - the only good thing is that they are not alone in the corner - they have BDF for Company!!!!!!

Telecode, After updating the IK Product Manager to version 1.0.3 and Amplitude to version 5.0.2 , all is working fine on my end., but that's not saying much. ?

The sound difference is awakening based on which plugins you've used. I love the sound these two plugins add to mixes I've substituted previous EQ and bus compressor plugins I had in the mixes before. You can't beat this deal no matter when you decide to use the plugins .

Perhaps you should be using separate machines for your DAW and development environment?

Just got in on the deal for $49.99 plus tax makes it a nice deal at $52.99 Last day is today, February 19 at Sweetwater

Where is Larry !!!

Run the IK PM to auto update both the PM and Amplitube!

happy this sale happened cos some new user obviously complained about the 1 license policy and checking out ilok today i see all my ssl plugs now have 2

From what I can find out, it is a multi timbral synthesizer with patches from the 2000's, with the patches labelled "VX" being considered the "good ones", from a Yamaha Motif 2010. A bit dated if you ask me. I don't know if it can actually play wav based sample libraries or not. It's main function as I can see is to act like TTS does in Cakewalk. For me that means being a GM midi player for when you download midi songs and open them up in Cubase. I've used it for that and Cubase does a good job using Halion Sonic SE to set up the instruments on any GM compatible midi files you download. Then you can move the midi track data over to better sounding individual instrument libraries if you have those. As a GM midi player it doesn't do a bad job, marginally better than my old Kawai K1. It cops a bit of flack over it's sounds on the net with many describing it as a 80's or 90's synth. It doesn't have any other purpose on my system, I think I may have retained a couple of the sounds for some of the instruments on my GM midi downloaded edited productions, I can't remember. Looking for libraries or patches for the Halion Sonic SE leads to a few dead pages, experiments and a group of users circulating patches. Whether it can play Halion libraries, I don't know. Halion is a different beast altogether, that is like Kontakt or East west etc so there is every reason to believe that the sound quality in Halion libraries would be up there with the rest or better. I don't know though because I've never used Halion. If Halion Sonic SE could play Halion libraries and it could also be used in other DAW's outside Cubase without problem then there might be a better reason for having it but none of this is made clear. What restrictions would be placed on those libraries even if Halion Sonic SE could play them.

???????????? Good one Larry, nice plugin.

Oh Boy ! ...what a thread ..... T Racks throttles the extra headroom on my machines into the Red ...I play Blues ,Rock and Jazz ...I don't need to be louder than a Heavy Metal Band . Thankfully the Lurssen does not do that over here ... That KRV dude may be hitting the bong super hard if that is happening to him .... With IK I have taken a Rag Tag approach on buying their products ...If it goes on sale and if I think I want ( need ) it I will buy it ... Yeah I bought some Artist and Amp collections ...they are nice ...but as people say ..it don't win me any Jam points or better upgrade pricing ... I haven't done the group buys ,So when I want to buy something ...IK may think I'm gonna pay full price if its not on sale ... Forgetaboutit ...I was fresh off the boat 30 years ago . No Ken Do No Ken Do Kenny

I have a great memory ... ... ... ... ... it's just a little short. But that's a blessing because I can laugh at the same joke twice!!! ? - - - - - - - If attacked by a mob of clowns... ...go for the juggler.

If I believed everything that I read on KVR... well nevermind... ?

Well, I went for it. Will I regret it? Maybe... But I haven't bought a new plugin in awhile!

Or who can't be bothered to take a look at the documentation for the most basic things. Like how to get sound to come out.

Actually, there are even strings attached. Cakewalk by Bandlab comes with Studio Instrument Strings.....

I think they follow Global/Menus/View Menu text so unfortunately there are other dependencies that would get worsened.

Done. Thanks!

And...The IKM doesn't update itself. You have to manually download it and install from the zip. Why do you have a product manager again, IK?

Yes, and I'll set the license to expire in 180 days so that I can charge them $10 to renew it! ?

Nobody likes a show off.

Oops. I will correct that title from ‘one’ to ‘One’! Thanks.

He's sure plug-in that album.

Indeed. This has been one of my most sought after features for many years; a command in the PRV that makes it easy to quickly zoom in all MIDI content. As for the existing "Fit MIDI content" menu command, it only works vertically. When it works, that is. Consistency has unfortunately never been a particularly prominent feature of SONAR and CbB, but it sure would be nice if the same shortcut keys (F and Shift+F) would perform the same fit operation in both Track View and Piano Roll View. This has been requested a number times both in the old and in the current forum, but it just doesn’t seem to happen. Below is one of those feature requests from almost five years ago. http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3493927

Make sure your heir has access to your email account and the vendors password. Simples, you live on to be possibly 100s of years old. ?

MIDI 2.0 is an open standard, anyone can incorporate its features into their products. Of course, it would be great if BandLab joined the MIDI Association, because then they could help shape the spec, as we as get advance notice of changes and additions before they become officially adopted, and available to the public. As to testing products, regardless of whether there's visible public support, the fact that Cakewalk keeps getting updated is what matters. It sure doesn't seem like it's being abandoned! I suppose there's also not much incentive to put money into marketing something that's free; I think a Cakewalk store for plug-ins, add-ons, and such would bring more people into the fold and help justify Cakewalk economically, but BandLab probably has more pressing priorities. Meanwhile, because Noel & Company are on the case in terms of keeping Cakewalk up to date, you can be pretty sure that plug-ins that work with other DAWs will work with Cakewalk. The main concern wouldn't be compatibility as much as whether companies producing something like a controller will have a Cakewalk template. Then again, with MIDI 2.0's profiles and property exchange functionality, the idea of needing to map controllers to hardware will become pretty much a thing of the past anyway.
