Ok boyz...I'll be gone again for about 3 weeks starting today... Back to Kentucky to help family...it never ends...C'ya later!

Hope all goes well Larry. We will miss you but are wallets will be fuller

Godspeed Lars! Family first. 🙂

Many spouses of those here have called me that I'm sure...

You shouldn't need AmpliTube 4 installed, AmpliTube 5 will pick up what you have. I doubt it would end up unlimited, but I'm trying to get this policy reconsidered and changed in some way.

plus about $2k per kid... time to recognize them all

Hello all I am not sure how many of you dislike the idea of having to check USB / network hubs power settings every time windows has an update or you connect and reconnect devices. I personally find it a PITA. I did some research and came over a powershell script to do exactly that; I readapted it to cover USB Hubs, USB Connectors and Network cards. Placed it somewhere in your computer (i.e. C:\). You need to be in the directory you placed the script for it to work... Then run powershell in admin mode (right click on the start button --> Windows Powershell (admin) --> go to the location you placed the script (i.e. cd c:\) --> type "& '.\Disable Power Schedule.ps1'" It works very well :), and saves a ton of time especially if you have many USB devices like I do. Fell free to use it Nicolas Disable Power Schedule.ps1

Be careful traveling. I hope all goes well. We'll see you soon.

Pat Benatar- Heartbreaker

I do use MRhythmizer a fair amount. It's somewhat like having the step sequencer from Rapture as a separate plugin, and MTurboDelay is so full featured that Swiss Army knives like to say they are the MTurboDelays of cutlery. Like you, I got MSpectralDelay as a gift and it has graced as many of my tracks as yours. I do use vocoders from time to time (not for vocals, more for "gating"), so maybe MVocoder might be worth a look. They also have this MTransform in the bundle which seems to cover similar ground.

Everyone should be primed with the $1400 stimulant upon your return Larry! 😂

Take care Larry - we'll miss you!

Safe travels Larry. Rocky

Hope all is well/goes well.

MVocoder is the best vocoder I've tried. I spoke (favorably) of MTurboreverble earlier in the thread. I got MTurboComple as a PB freebie and it is useful (a vintage emulation by and for people who aren't much into vintage emulations). I have the non-MB MRhythmizer and dig diggity dig it. I got MSpectralDelay as a gift when they introduced it, and since then it has been used on exactly none of my tracks because I find it rather unfathomable (but not in a "whoa, that's messed up and cool" sense like Dumpster Fire). The rest of them....haven't tried them. MTurboDelay came with the Essentials bundle, but I've only had that for about 24 hours. My collection of delays is already crazy, so it will need to bring a lot to the table in order to inspire. Many of them are "MB" versions, and their fascination with multiband processing has never caught my imagination. Something that leaps out at me: if you feel you need two different rotary speaker simulations, they are present in the bundle. MRotary and MVintageRotary. I had thought that the rotary speaker itself was by nature a "vintage" effect, but who knows? Why is there no MRotaryMB? Why isn't MVintageRotary called MTurboRotary? Was it because with the much beloved industry workhorse MModernCompressor, they needed something "vintage" to provide balance? The world of Meldaproduction can be as inscrutable as it is comprehensive.

Cakewalk by BandLab has the feature set that SONAR Professional had, including aux tracks, patch points, and the ProChannel. It has further features that have been added in the past 3 years. It's still supported and in active development. Also, free of charge.

Personnaly i can see NI ising some of the code from izotope specially spectral rx stuff and assistant stuff ...

Now that IS a strange name ...

A totally fair point. After all all we have to offer are our opinions, mine was just that - only an opinion.

They count for nothing. I think I said that already. But it was probably deleted. Anyway, caring about reputation is so 2020. Popularity envy not in style.

Mike at @Creative Sauce has a great video.

Just had some quick fun with some free stuff and also my purchase of Triad during the PA recent sale. Not sure what to call this one. The picture is 3 of my Mexican folk art carvings that are called alebrijo, which I think means fantasy. This type I think is called aliens. There are some that are amazing ! I have maybe a dozen of different types. I thought they went well with the concept of covid-19 variants coming for ya. Wanted to capture the motion aspect of motion and running, and some weird stuff floating around in this song. Thanks for listening or comments, stay safe from these guys, Treesha

A new sixties style guitar instrumental.

Hey Lee and glad to see you back on the form. This is a good uptempo rocker full of optimism indeed! I don't know why but it reminds me of Lou Reed a bit. Good stuff -- I enjoyed it!!!

Nice one Douglas! Great vocals and I love those guitars. Not to draw attention to my chronological existence on this planet (?) but this song and style reminds me of some of the many great bands that could be found in the Tampa Bay area and that were recorded on the Paris Tower label throughout the 1960s. Good work -- I enjoyed it!!

Hey Tom - thanks for listening and for your comments - I think the mix sounds pretty good - but everybody has different ears and opinions - no worries. Regarding the lead vocal - I sang this one with a Studio Projects C1 - I bought it about six months ago ($250) - some complain that it's a bit too bright, but I think for pop and rock it sits quite well in a mix (with my voice anyway). 20 years ago, when it came out, it had rave reviews - some comparing it to a Newmann U87 (wihich I can't afford). I like it , so it's a keeper for me.

I think you mean, your other family . . . ? Best of luck to Lars!

You watched my video and have no clue! You need to find a different hobby

To me using patterns is a lot more work than others methods you could use to create music. I’ve never understood the point of them other than for drums. I guess I’ve always figured out how to make my own parts a lot faster than digging though 1,000’s of patterns I was not a keyboard player when midi came into my life. I had absolutely no clue where the notes were. But I quickly figured out how to play simple bass parts on a keyboard and how to edit them into an ok backing track. After all you could slow down the tempo and even then we had quantize. I bought the Roland GR50 hoping to play bass lines on my guitar. It worked but because data storage was limited I couldn’t use the resulting midi data because it was huge. So back to the keyboard It took 30 year for my dream to come true and I can now play my real bass and just drag it to a midi track. But up until then I just got better and better at keyboards because I had to if I wanted good tracks. I now enjoy keyboard and look forward to spending more time practicing now I’m retired. then there’s drums!

Thanks, Tom! I've got quite a few profiles on my Kemper but the ones that I use the most are the profiles that I made of my own rig. There was a lot of volume adjustment during the track in order to get the various gain stages. The Kemper really excels when rolling off the guitar volume. Makes things a lot of fun when playing blues.

Good luck and take care, man!

Thanks for listening. Well you know what some drummers are like 😀 The cheezy organ comes from a combo of a 60s organ plus a leslied one from Roland Cloud. That was as close as I could get to the 70s Yamaha organ sound that we had. In the days we worked 300+ shows a year.

good rock song and recording job.jack c.

Using a Samsung CRG9 (LC49RG90SSUXEN); I love the real estate https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Double-49-Inch-Monitor-LC49RG90SSNXZA/dp/B07L9HCJ2V/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=LC49RG90SSUXEN&qid=1615706539&sr=8-1

This tool is essential for me. I use headphones so as to keep my meandering and mistakes to myself until I'm ready to share a tune with others. Since purchasing dSoniq Realphones at the end of January, I have found time and time again when I start composing a new tune but forget to put Realhones on the master bus from the start, I end up with a huge task on my hands to fix the mix later on. Plus, it makes listening to music much more pleasurable with all of my cans using this through the system-wide app. Only negative is the systemwide app occasionally glitches out so the audio becomes choppy and I have to switch audio source back and forth, or reboot, to get it working smoothly again. But I cannot imagine ever going without this application again.

Paul if ya need a vaucher holla

The other thing to mention with GP is the ability to build control panels for the plugins being used - and can control external midi hardware via CCs, or using the scripting language to generate sysex. The whole thing feels like something built from solving real-world problems - very handy stuff.

Use them in Studio One. Guaranteed to make any plug in look better.

Well before I jump on the Nembrini, I’ll have to try the Revalver, which is a new name on me. The Vox AC30 holds a special place in my heart from pub gigs back in the very early 80s. Bought one secondhand for maybe 100 quid and the next day got a red letter from the bank saying they were suspending my cheque guarantee card! But that amp served me well 😂

Also, for those that don't know, you can deconvolve other reverbs with MConvolutionMB. I used it to create some impulses from GlaceVerb, so I would be able to recreate some of those sounds in my hosts that don't support 32 bit plugins.

More good stuff visually and musically! Keep up the good work! t

Again, this removes 32 bit version, so you might want to check if your legacy projects have any instances of FM8 before running this update.
