I've been using the free https://epiconlineorchestra.com/ since it was created last year. " a little online sample player instrument which lets you check out different chord progressions and have them played with orchestra samples - right in your web browser " I searched before posting here, no results, so thought it was worth a mention.

I can understand some frustrations, but honestly, bashing publicly a company is not going to help anyone here. It would be really appreciated if anyone keeps it civilized and manifest their frustrations in a polite way. I come here because I like the generally positive spirit. Thank you.

As some of you know, I've had my own loss (a year and a half ago), and know the feeling of losing someone very close. My fingers are crossed that Terry is still with us, and that we can get the money to his family no matter what. All the best.

Truth be told we don't really need any of this stuff, we want it. G.A.S. makes us do it. Urgency is one of the best marketing tools ever but nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything. If you were looking to pick this one up it was a great deal. Rocky

Yep, Cake community always had the "the others" family feeling. I also have the feeling that internet gives an apparent bigger voice to those who shout louder, who wouldn't shout that loud in real life. So you have to be aware of it and keep in mind that you are more sorrounded by nice people than what it may show in the e-reality

Just for clarity sake, I'm not defending anyone here. I also have some frustrations from time to time. It's just that sometime being in front of a computer or an electronic device, we forget that there are human beings on the other side and we may not always know some informations that may temper some frustrations. And I also studied at University, and that's where I discovered that the more I learned, the less I actually know.

And in the other direction too, so please include me in that statement. Regardless of what type of post I was responding to I also did not contribute to the generally positive (and might I say normally Dude-like) spirit either. My apologies for dragging.

That joke won’t get old...and neither is following that up with Van Damme waiting for his train on the rails since benches were getting painted :

Observe the patterns...make your wish list... then only buy from that list when on sale. Avoid the impulse purchases!

At this point most of us know the pattern. Flash sales through most of the year, group buy sometime during the year, mega sale during Christmas season. Plan according to your wants and needs.

Esteban, you can do it... just wake up one morning and say ... THAT'S IT! I'm done with that! And from there it all goes towards better... little by little! Focus on something else, like every week spend the saved money on making something nice for yourself... like buying a great plugin and making a memorable piece of music with it... Memory of the times you quitted but where not the ''quitter'' ? . Oh and that one morning should be sooner that you expect it to be! Best of luck ?

@PavlovsCat what a great post! Thanks for sharing your story and your enthusiasm in this matter after all you've been through!. . Again and again shows how great and passionate this place is! Thanks to all you guys for making this possible! Hoping the best for Terry and his family ... But also for everyone else here that is in some kind of despair! You know you're not alone here ?

Pete-IK has helped me out a few times by having Ryan for one, private message me to take my email and sort out my problem a couple years back. I might not like some things IK does as a company but the staff has does a stellar job at least for me Peace.

Even though I see there's some doubling down, I still stick by my apology for contributing to the opposite of the Dude-like vibe. To help make up for it, I will hint at another move officially done on purpose since I just changed prices for the same reason the video and pages for TS3 were opened so something is also going on promo announced tomorrow. What it is is coded in my message. But seriously. Sorry, I shouldn't dig in the dirt. I think many will be happy with the additional savings on TS3 when the announcement is made (basically when the news is up and emails will be sent but the news will be visible before most get emails) so I'm glad to have mentioned that here and have not done so elsewhere.

I've been bashing companies PUBLICLY for DECADES! If somebody DOESN'T do it, then HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT THEY'VE MESSED UP? No offense Yan, but it's the FENCE RIDERS that have caused MOST of our problems... those who sit back and say NOTHING PUBLICLY, while the Corporations RAILROAD, ROB, USE, AND ABUSE people... Sorry, but I'm not one of those "Sheep".

Hoping this is not a vailed reference to a subscription offering...

Over the years, we've received many requests for a banjo library. Today, we're excited to announce the latest addition to our Evolution series of instruments: Evolution Bluegrass Banjo, an expressive and authentic fingerpicked banjo sample library. The banjo we sampled for the library has a sweet, clear bell tone, with plenty of body to its sound as well. The library's tone is quite versatile, able to provide an elegant, pure sustain, but also an immediate, powerful attack for adding drive to your song when the need arises. This banjo is no stranger to a plucky, gritty sound either, which can be achieved through its louder dynamics, playing closer to the bridge, or harnessing the available built-in effect options. Evolution Bluegrass Banjo is normally $179 USD, but until March 18th you can pick up your copy at a special introductory discount of $139. MORE INFO

Yep, 299$ for upgrade, no Jampoints allowed. That’s a lot more than last time, so that’s a pass for me. Instead, I’ll upgrade from MPS3 to MPS4 for 125$. Considering that the Groove3 1 year pass is 90$ when on sale, it costs peanuts to get the rest of the upgrade.

You may be right...

While that is a step forward, I still believe they need to look at what you own and base the upgrade on that as well. I own almost all of TS3, so it's not worth it for me to upgrade, but frustrating that I would have to pay more (while I already spent more than that on the individual items e.g. MODO BASS, DRUMS, ST MAX 4, Syntronik Deluxe, etc.).

Fixed

Bug fixes. This time there were some features introduced with v12, even for antiques like TrueVerb. These would be the resizable UI (a big deal on the older ones like TrueVerb with tiny buttons) and the new preset browser (kinda meh to me, but still it had to be grafted onto some pretty old code). Adding new stuff like that will induce bugs. Also, BTW, I notice that with 12.7, the Waves Local Server that broke Cakewalk's installation process no longer stays on after I quit the DAW. That could be the only reason for 12.6-12.7 and still be significant, because I'm sure people didn't like having that thing sitting there eating up the resources it did. Unlike, say, the PACE driver or BandLab Assistant, that server app did use enough memory to make a dent in older systems like my laptop. People moan about WUP, but it's not so different from most DAW licensing: you have to pay to upgrade to each major release. If there aren't new features you want, don't fork out. Waves like to sow a bit of FUD about how the previous versions are "unsupported" (which DAW companies do as well), but in my experience, Waves stuff gets very stable by the time they move up a rev. I've yet to experience bugs with any of their plug-ins, updated or not. One of my systems still runs a license for TrueVerb v.10, solid as a rock. If I iever run into trouble, I can always WUP it up.

only 120 of these? Tasty deal!

Steinberg announces that it really cares about the customer experience............ Is it April 1st already?

Just FYI, as before, upgrades inside the major version number don't require an active WUP. So once you get V12, all the V12 version updates are included. This was always something Waves was slightly vague on. You don't get additions to bundles, but for example all my (now) expired Mercury WUP plugins updated to 12.7 without an issue. That won't be true when V13 comes out of course, but the minor updates are included. It makes the whole Wave's upgrade/WUP/support issue slightly better.

Isn't Frontier always free? https://d16.pl/frontier

i got them. they are cool. different.. the show up as VST plugins in my DAW. good for weird ambient stuff.

Nobody forces any of you people to buy stuff from IK Multimedia.

Many plugins are at 12.7 after the update, even though Waves Central still shows 12.0. Open a plugin and click on the 'W' icon for an about screen. The actual current version info is displayed.

Keep in mind that the same company you're defending also runs a forum where people vent into deaf years, as none of the developers look at it. You are encouraged to get in contact with their support instead, figure which of the 8 departments your email should go and...Judging by the posts of bugs that are still there...and present in the software which hasn't received an update in months because they have to focus and hype the shiny new product that was just released. Companies are not your friends. You have all the rights to complain about being short-changed by a product you paid money for, both in public and privately.

Cooper -> Barrel Vera Lynn - Roll Out The Barrel

Does it come with a Virtual Pencil?

Or you could use OOSU's ShutUp10.

Grab it while you still can. This might be the last version of Reason Suite that doesn't require you to sign into their subscription deal.

Maybe they ran out of licenses....Oh wait...You can't run out of software licenses.

I'm currently using a pair of Sony MDR-ZX110 that I had to put new TRS plugs in twice and the cushions are worn to the point the phones don't fit snug in my head. I'm used to "less expectant" phones. Not buying that bundle because I don't have money.

Zo, Faded Reels has a ton of FX on mostly each group , but I like it so I can take bits and pieces from each group and blend then with another Expansion. That makes for nice sounds. Crate cuts has a bloat load of FX as well .

In other words: You are not the knowledge you have, but what you do with it.

FACT!

Saw lots of those at Harvard and MIT. Then again, some of the smartest people on the planet are those who know they’re dumb.

I'll check, but I remember the bundle with headphones you can buy direct from Sonarworks comes with Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones instead of some Sony MDR-7500 lookalike models from a budget brand.

Yeah. Because badge flashing is a very "responding in kind" tactic, isn't it? But alas, the prices are not for you people that already own Total Studio. It's for people that don't have it so they can fall for that trap (one you can't even take pleasure with even), then be in the same state Total Studio owners of old are. You too can complain about IK's upgrade pricing in the future! Think of the possibilities!

Ya know, you could just buy another company's stuff instead and save yourself the aggravation....

Not many peoples know that Dimension Pro has a folder of very good percussions (no. 6).

Fixed! ? (However, to be fair, I originally stole it way back in 2006 and last posted it in 2009... The PROOF! ? )
