Happy April Fools day hee hee!! When the cats away, the mice will play.

Thanks to Spitfire for forcing all these developers to offer free libraries

I wasn't fooled for a second - the OP over-reached with the premise and made it too obvious......should have gone for something more believable like NI $25 voucher that you can spend on whatever you like, whenever you like.... Oh wait.......

Get all of that crazy talk out of the way before Larry comes back.

We are delighted to announce our latest library, Emotional Recorder! This prestinely sampled instrument captures the true essence of the descant recorder, with heartfelt emotion injected into each note. Magnificently sampled into a passionate and receptive instrument, Emotional Recorder transforms any piece through its ability to encapsulate raw, unencumbered feeling. Available now for a generous intro price of $0, for today (April 1st) only. https://fracturesounds.com/product/emotional-recorder/

I mean, why not just slap the tape plugin on the tracks and bounce them down before you start mixing?

Agree, I deleted all my heavyocity and UVI libraries as this is all I need to make any genre.....

Wow, sounds perfect for my upcoming cover version of "My Heart Will Go On" 😜

Remember the start of The Rutles - Rutland Weekend Television?

I thought April fools started when NI and Izotope were both purchased by some guy named Francisco

I had paid for Cakewalk, and updates for years. Spent a lot of money on it. I love the software. The last update I did with Cakewalk was supposed to be all updates free there on out. I was most disappointed when they sold to Bandlab as I had never heard of it. I must admit since Bandlab has taken over I think it has been great. I don't know how they do it for free and even keep updating the software. I really appreciate it.

Not a problem since, apparently, nobody's allowed on stage anymore anyway! 😕

I'm not spending another penny on compressors, EQ's, limiters, gates, reverbs, saturators or channel strips. I'm very happy with what I have in those categories. On the other hand, those one-of-a-kind FX that open a whole new set of sonic possibilities, I'll never stop acquiring those when the prices get low enough. So: if I didn't own them already, I'd be all over the Unfiltered Audio stuff that's now on sale at PA. G8 is hands-down the best all-purpose gate I've seen (Boz Gatey Watey is the best specialized one), with a very useful display of what exactly is getting gated. The Sandman Pro bundle with Instant Delay is so so good for creating those ear-tickling syncopated stereo delays with a season of the glitch. $14.99 is way too cheap. BYOME gives you so much in configurable modules, you can pretty much roll up versions of the rest of their stuff. It has a slew of factory patches by Glitchmachines.

Part of the fun is to find them They are hidden in product pages. This one has been shared in other forums. If you click on link you will see an egg and a code. You now have to find the other two, green and purple. As a hint start, look at deals for vendors participating on sale. Took me about 10 min to find the others. https://www.bestservice.com/era_ii_medieval_legends.html

Finally!!!! I can get the sound I’ve been chasing for, er, never. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHMmLi8z1HbyhTEvfBgXpyg

Fun fact: I was in the band (playing geetar in Spektralized, a band I've played live, and some studio with since 2001) that played before Kraftwerk in the Arvika (Sweden) festival in 2006. It was an outdoor gig in beautiful weather 👍 We played the stage next to them while their stuff was loaded on stage.

Yes the best De-essers, have you tried the hardware? Most smoothest de-essing around...

Yep, using an Apollo interface, which lets me print the UAD effects during recording.

I do that as well with several different ones. Along with the IK Tape Machines I use the Waves J37 and Kramer Tape (both are also wonderful as a tape delay), Softube Tape, UAD Ampex ATR-102 and a couple of others. They all have different flavors though the UAD feels the most like real tape. The idea of recreating an analog recording chain in the box is to use a tape sim on each track or bus/aux track/sub-group along with console/preamp/hardware emulations. The results can be striking if the tracks are gain-staged properly with the right input-output levels going into each plugin and then hitting the tape as one would with a real deck. I've been mixing a reggae/roots rock record that the band tracked in my studio. We did most of the tracking live through UAD Apollo console emulations (mostly the Helios 69 and the SSL. The Helios is a gem) and recorded through the plugins into CbB. We're recreating the chain during mixdown with a tape sim at the end of the chain, like going from a desk to the tape machine. It sounds wicked good. That said, it is also easy to ruin a mix pretty quick if not used judiciously.

Got Metric A/B. Not that I needed anything more than my ears to tell me the mix ain't right, but now I can see just how bad it is.

i confess i was like "whaaaaaat " !!!!

Your clock is busted - April 1st is over 7 hours away! (It's your fault that you don't live in California)

https://soundcloud.com/bemused-2/fragments Illustrating some of the new pianos on Pianobook - Claustrophobic Piano and Midnight Upright. And Echoes Guitar also from Pianobook. Plus atmos from the LABS instrument Tundra Atmos. Dedicated to the musician Harold Budd who passed, from Covid 19 complications late last year.

For only $29 (normally $305), the Insane Next Level Keys Bundle by SAMPLETEKK featuring 5 unique pianos: Singularis. ST Clav, Tubed Keys, ST Reed Organ and ST Tonewheel. Singularis is part of SampleTekk’s “No nonsense, load and play” series. The goal is not to provide you with a fancy GUI, but to give you an instrument and a sound that is inspiring to play. ST Clav was sampled from a Hohner Clavinet D6© which has for years been putting the onk in funk, but has also been used in many genres. The ST Clav has all the sounds, and are recorded through a tube amp. Tubed Keys is sampled from The Mk I Seventy-Three which has no less then 16 different velocity samples/note and this gives you the dynamic response that’s not found on many sampled Rhodes. Add to this 16 matching release samples and you’ll have 32 samples/note. The ST Reed Organ huffs and it puffs and it could blow your house down. However, it will produce a charming noise that will work equally well for both hymns and whisky drenshed smoke-filled Waits type of songs. ST Tonewheel is the one you would PARTY with! If you’re looking for the ultimate Hammond B3 Clone, keep looking! If this organ was a date, it wouldn’t be the one you presented to your mother. SampleTekk is a Swedish based company that specialize in recording and producing high quality multisampled instrument. All instruments in this bundle require the full retail version of Kontakt. Normally valued at $305, this bundle is now offered at a whopping 91% off for a few days, don’t miss out!

I have the v3's of Ultra Analog and Chromaphone. The new v3 GUI is awesome for both, and the dual engine 'Layer A'/'Layer B' for the new AAS synths truly rocks with more complex sounds made possible!!! They have remastered the Chromaphone v2 factory presets for use in v3, plus added a new new factory presets library for v3 to Ultra Analog and Chromaphone. Not implying here that they added Layer B to the former presets, as that feature only appears to be used in the new v3 factory presets.

Got this from them via e-mail. (just a snippet of the e-mail)

AirWindows ToTape does it easily ToneBoosters Reelbus v4 seems fairly light for a Tape Emu also The IK Tape Machines sound great, but I'm with other posters pretty big CPU hog where I'm looking at only BUS work. I also don't need ALL of those machines, I'd love for just the singles to go on a nice sale.

Hats off to the staff

Your post is duly "Noted" 😉

For a new job I just got on Monday, I've got to go in today for a drug test. I'm wondering what they'll give me to try! 😁 (Gee, I hope this isn't just another big misunderstanding on my part like that whole, nasty business at the Public Shooting Range! 🤔)

Frank Zappa - Titties and beer:

Hush - Deep Purple Have you ever noticed that the na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na line is the same as the ones the Beatles used in A Day In The Life?

Great advice until someone bumps the thread and then you reread the post because you forgot about how meh it was.

hello VST

I decided to get the Mo-Verb for free,

Louder Than Liftoff Chop Shop has been added today. Should be a good EQ but I haven’t got it yet. It’s $10 with the coupon. Meanwhile, I’m also thinking of getting Zip for a tenner.

You were so nearly there......the correct response is "meh" and then to forget that you ever read it.

With Best Service easter egg code, even better price!

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 Funny, I like the response.

And those SPL De-essers next.

You are a heck of a good song writer. I like all the cool chord changes and yet you manage to make a nice melody out of it, very much much like Steely Dan did so well. Obviously a very good piano player.

Yeah. Let’s wait for the Return of the King. He’ll take care of things.

Practice your singing technique. You'll have much less fixing to do.

There's two ways of doing this: 1. If you always want to open more than one, uncheck the "Recycle Plugin Windows" settings within Preferences->VST Settings 2. If you only want to temporarily keep one open, click the "pin" icon at the top right of the plugin window. This will keep this plugin window open, whilst recycling the rest.
