I think this may also be a cause of, or contributing to the vibration coming from the neck pickup when I play certain notes, it's pretty loud and very unappealing. I took out the neck pickup turned it over and..... The crack is all the way through so it does move and vibrate. Not to worry, I have plenty of solder and a big soldering iron. At first, I thought some dude had just put solder on there but looking at other images, it appears this is done at the factory for these pickups. The last time I played humbuckers was about 15 years ago, so it's like a new sound all over again. I am now thinking if it is possible to get new gold covers for the pickups to replace the aged ones. Yes it looks as though it's on pretty tight and I can see what appears to be glue in the joint, my fear is, if I try to get it off it will rip the lacquer off and possibly take some wood with it. The previous owner doesn't really know much about it. He bought it with some other guitars, played it a few times and then it got put away and neglected for some time, he sold it while doing a clean out. Yes, this is a problem I had with my semi acoustic but this guitar seems to be fine in relation to internal cables flopping about. This seems to be an area where I differ from the pack. I prefer the sound of lighter strings, 11's max. I've tried the heavier gauges but I just don't like the sound of them besides them being also more difficult to play. Lighter strings have got more jangle, seem brighter and more alive, whereas the heavier ones you get a straight note with not much character in my view. I do use 11's on the acoustic. I checked out the half rounds, flatwound, chromes etc but if I want those I will need to get them on Ebay and I can't decide at the moment so I think I will just put standard guitar strings (10-46) on it to start with, what it came out of the factory with. I can pick those up tomorrow from a local music store otherwise I have to drive 100Ks to get some different ones or wait a week for Ebay. The standard ones will be fine to start with and will mean I can have everything done by Sunday and finish it and jam with it. I think the finger squeak is going to be reduced by the humbuckers.

And also excellent 2nd video on editing CC data.

Boz Mongoose. It collapses bass frequencies to mono and give you controls for widening HF. It's on my mix bus, makes a good bit of difference and helps focus the mix.

Specifically the Plug-ins tabs. Having to right click and select from a list of categories is excess hassle. Even 3 years in to CbB, I still sometimes forget that I can't just drag a plug-in from Uncategorized to the folder where I want it.

What ever you do don’t ask Strammy about Pistol Pete

You all realize that the only one that could really answer that question is Pistol Pete

You guys are lucky Larry is not here as he would’ve beat you both haha This looks really good.

IIRC, I paid $60 something for Neutron Elements a few years ago, then got a "steal of a deal" for like $125 for Neutron 2 Advanced to upgrade. NOW it's MP4 for basically the Same price?!! And the plugins have just gotten better and better too. @Hatstand - as @TheSteven so eloquently put it: "No sub for me bub. So Pro is a no go." 😁 I just hate the idea of not being able to pull up a project a few years down the road because I had a subscription that ended. I want to own my stuff.

This is how I do this:

You beat me to it!!!! 🤣 This should be an interesting instrument as I think it is the first UVI library using the 4 zone approach we have come to be so familiar with in some Kontakt libraries. I look forward to getting a try at this hopefully soon.

I drove over 100 miles to hear this one live. It's the one Dmitri withheld until after Stalin Died because he feared that Stalin would have had him killed for writing something with this many dissonances. Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No 4 in C minor op 43 - Valery Gergiev / Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra

Yes, the answer is always yes.

I only remember 1 of his

I was going to pull trigger on Augmented piano after watching Simeon’s video but hesitated as it was only 25% off during recent sale....glad I hesitated. I’m a sucker for muted instruments....

They better see a doctor. Oh wait.....

Hey Bill is recovering and from the South. We need to be gentle on him 🤪 What the heck Bill can take it

I hadn't thought about that. I guess their other libraries are two-parters. Also, this is the first time I know of they brought in the Euclidean sequencing from Falcon. You don't find that in too many places. I hope they continue with this and make an instrument that's not all muted sounds. It's quite an engine.

Yes you can but before you enable groove clip looping, the clip should be an exact multiple of quarter note beats.

Next up, Michaela's Harp?

Pretty good. Used to be part of XtantAudio Audio where I got my other Irish instruments like Paddy’s Percussion and Uilleann Pipes. Been wanting to get these Irish whistles.

I know put it pops back out again all the while - You can't have it permanently skinny like it used to be

do playlists embed?

Look, I would not try to mix that sort of track count on anything but my i7 studio machine, but it is cool to know what an old lappy can do. My Lenovo dual core can track a fair amount of source as well. Plugin-processing however does change things a bit.. As we all know!

I think the big thing to keep in mind is while people like Ludwig can do incredible things with something that's basically a beefed-up toaster (and that seriously is amazing stuff!), even aside from the limitations I mentioned trying to mix with such a low-spec machine, the chance of something going horribly off the tracks increases exponentially. My crappy old machine was super streamlined, it was solid hardware when it was new and had very well researched components added in as I went along (doubled the RAM, swapped out the HDD for a SSD, etc. but I was very deliberate with what brands I got). On paper, even a fairly modern i3 would leave it in a cloud of dust without breaking a sweat. And yet there's heaps of far more capable machine that are either set up poorly, or just not spec'd to guarantee anything useful for real-time applications like audio. I can think of my video company partner when he was setting up his home studio last year. His machine that, again on paper ate my old one for breakfast, had no end of trouble and couldn't get anywhere near the track count or plugin count I could do on mine. I finally talked him into dropping the money on a custom machine and it's been entirely trouble free ever since. For that reason, I'd always suggest #1 either getting someone like Jim to make you a machine that you know will be great for audio work, or #2, erring on the side of caution and over-spec'ing your hardware to give you headroom for when things aren't necessarily the best fit hardware-wise, especially on a laptop.

No, they're just standard 100m long throw faders. I don't actually use any of my analog gear for mixing - all of that is in the box, so the mixer is basically used as 16 preamps for tracking (same with the 8 channels on the Alice). I've got a Mackie MCU / XT & C4 for ITB mixing duties. The MCU & XT have motorized faders, and the C4 is just a dream for controlling plugins. I've spent a lot of time mapping the parameters of compressor/eq plugins to the C4 knobs so they all have a consistent layout regardless of what plugin I'm using.

I'll see your Shaky Jake and raise you a I Don't Need No Doctor! Marriot is undoubtedly one of the top ten British vocalists of all time... t

Tom, I took your suggestion and narrowed the mix a bit because I noticed on headphones that it did seem a bit wider than I remembered. I do like it better now, so thanks a million to you and Nigel for that! Good call! Thanks so much for your encouragement! I did refine the mix a little, for the better, I hope. As for the story, I took a few liberties with that, but something apparently did happen, but I only heard bits and pieces from relatives long after my parents had passed. The voice, however, is my own with all its grit and years of abuse for polish.

I can't remember if this has been posted before, but I just picked up this free synth called Vital. It seems very powerful, yet highly intuitive to use. People are comparing it to Serum (which I have not used) https://vital.audio/

It's not related to this specific library, but when I visited the page I listened to an awesome demo of the not yet released Bon#Ham Drums. Wow! A couple of weeks ago I posted how I wish he would do a Bonham library and he does it! So, where ever you are AnyDayLong, I thank you and eagerly await your new library. The vibe is definitely like a really cool spin on the Bonham sound; kind of like Synthwave when a synth has a really retro sound, but is also tweaked to sound modern. I just have to say it's just plain awesome and the demo song is really cool. On another related note, I was going through my emails with libraries setting up my new DAW PC and I confirmed a suspicion a lot of us have, AnyDayLong was indeed part of Past to Future Reverbs, as a link to one of the Past to Future Reverbs went to AnyDayLong's Sound Cloud account. Friends who own KONTAKT, check these libraries out. All AnyDayLong's libraries are free except for the above library. But whether they're free or 3 €, 5 € or whatever these are just really great sounding, ready to go libraries. Here's a link to the upcoming Bonham / Zeppelin drums library: https://soundcloud.com/anydaylong/demo-bonham-drums

A friend of mine is clearing unused stuff out of her place and gave me an original Beats Pill, the little pill-shaped Bluetooth speaker by Beats. I already have an Altec Lansing Mini LifeJacket that I like to use for referencing mixes as well as casual listening, so I'm psyched about this other little guy. The clarity and even stereo image of this little guy surprised me. Given that its 4 drivers are about the diameter of a 50 cent piece, it doesn't have the notorious Beats bass bump.

Thank you for sharing the contents of your folder. Not everyone would have done that.

Enjoy the quiet while you can, Pietro. Just know Larry will be back soon

"God Gave Rock And Roll To You" - Argent

Let me know if you can get a reproducible case with a project and we can follow up with NI.

giant sand - -fields of green

Lynn . . . you're a real storyteller in this one . . . is that a vocal effect, or does you're finely aged voice have that purry and gurgly sound au naturelle ? So great to listen to, great guitar work, and as always the mixing really shines !

Updated to three "Dance's!"

Looks pretty. It's surprising how many guitars are poorly set up. Fixing a bad set up is easy and free. Usually intonation comes into line with the neck. Get the best price you can and pounce. Used is often better than new. 😁 If you aren't comfortable with setup, YouTube.

@Josh Wolfer - thanks for your support on this one... it's now fixed for the next release.
