Not a traditional deal in this forum, but GOG currently offers Syberia I and II as a giveaway. Sure, it's been around for years (Syberia I was released in 2002 and Syberia II in 2005) but I think it’s still a very good point-and-click puzzle-solving DRM free game. Also, I find the musical score really beautiful, particularly in Syberia I *). Those episodes actually managed to keep my interest long enough to make me continue to the end without stop playing in the midst of it (a rare event indeed). Claim a free copy here: https://www.gog.com/game/syberia_i_ii Additionally, Syberia 3 came in 2017 (yes, I’ve got it in my GOG account) and Syberia 4 is just around the corner. *) That was the musical connection for those of you about to call for a moderator. Edit: This offer only lasts for 72 hours and ends on 17th July 2021, at 1 PM UTC.

I don’t know why Thursday July 15th is going to be buzzing so much but it seems it is going to be one of those wall to wall announcement, release, livestream kind of days. Spitfire, IK Multimedia, and a few surprises. Just sayin, stay tuned. https://www.YouTube.com/praisetracks

Cultures have been "appropriating" one another ever since the first time two different tribes crossed paths.

Only unlocked when you purchase three of the pedals together. On a serious note, did I mention there's a discount for multiple AmpliTube X-GEAR pedals?

In Before The Delete? Not for me Zo, but you know.....some people prefer to have all their thinking done for them.?

Yes in WASAPI shared we disallow multiple interfaces because recording from multiple devices would be very complex to synchronize. In WASAPI shared mode the device returns variable size buffers so handling them and synchronizing them across multiple devices would be difficult to do. Its more deterministic and fixed size in WASAPI exclusive so we allow it there. WASAPI shared mode is quite complex because you are really reading and writing data that has is processed by the Windows audio engine additionally, unlike exclusive mode where the app is directly communicating with the driver (similar to ASIO). This is how audio output from Cakewalk output can be mixed with other application streams in Windows (via the Windows audio engine)

Famous E beats this one hands down. Sheer inspiration.

I guess I could post the mountain of evidence that show millions of people have been killed by the vaccines created by Fauci (AIDS and COVID) and Gates' (Bill & his grandfather Frederick - COVID, Ebola, Spanish Flu, et al.) to push things over the edge, ya? What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth? About eight months. ?

I also purchase all my games from GOG. As for Obduction, it was a giveaway at GOG in June 2019. I was actually surprised that ZincT’s post drew so little attention at the time.

Brilliant video as always Simeon. I love the part where you say something like "we just did that in a few minutes!" No, we did not, Simeon. YOU did. ? But fun to think about how I could have done it too, if I could just go back to my birth and be more serious about my playing . It seems to m+ that Hunter looked at libraries like the Sonokinetic Ostinatos, Pattern Strings, and STRIIIINGS, and said "I can do better than that!" And I don't think this is going to be topped by anybody. PLUS, this is on an intro price of $99.99 out of $149.99. And if you are on the KH mailing list you'll get an email today for another $10 off. Simeon demonstrated one of my very favorite libraries, Virtuoso Ensembles, which I think is the number one sketching library. Last BF it sold for $29.99. Simeon, this seems aimed at epic music, and I don't really do that. Do you think this could be useful for other kinds of music?

It depends on the manufacturer. Some allow running two interfaces of the same kind and aggregate the I/Os via the ASIO driver. Presonus allows it with some of their devices. MOTU, RME, LYNX all do.

Thks , yep i remember Ra was pretty old, the perfomance in silk might be similar to the one in world suite , pretty efficiant (i used to own ethno also and sold it when world suite went out , witch was basically the same out of motu thing) I rather have few but superb sounding stuff than a lot just ok stuff ...it's all about emotion , i watched a video from rick beato where he was compalining about how the music is crappy today , lol but it's aexactly because people study and analyse music (the same usually) while artist learn how to transfert feelings and emotion , they don't give a f... about notes , but it's sounds , notes , articualtions , ect are a way not a finality , anyway a superb aspect that we should def discuss around here .... Thks for your input and your fresh videos , always a pleasure .In fact it reminded that it's been a while we don't news from Vastman who was deep in world music !! Really bothered about its silence , hope he's doing well .....

kiss of god (i just rerecorded this and it's short!)

I am off on a bit of a different path again. This is a laid back, kind of early 1960's pop ballad song. At least that was the attempt of this number. The subject of this song is just having an imaginary conversation with a past memory. Not that he is unhappy or regretful but he is just enjoying a pleasant memory, As always any comments, suggestions, etc. will be appreciated. I hope you enjoy.

Yeahh all of the videos on YouTube are on Latency issues are on recording. But our problem is not about recording it is the audio samples we drag in.

So, you experimented with acid in your younger days? My Aud.ini: *ThickHeadOfHair=0* Well that explains it.

I’d like to, Zo, but he’s not as frequent as back in the day. Here’s hoping he’ll find his way back to our neck of the woods

Benoît Sokal, the game designer, died a few weeks ago. Sad loss.

It just occurred to me this would be a hilarious name for a semi-modular synth from IK.

A flute works well. The little piece I did at the beginning was Yangqin, flute, Guzheng and percussion. When the instrument started it was just an accompaniment instrument like a piano. But they kept adding bridges and octaves, until it became a solo instrument that you can also accompany yourself on like a piano. I think anything that works with a piano will work with a Yangqin. The piece that the girl plays is actually an orchestral piece which was rearranged for the Yangqin. The damper pedal was a big addition, because the notes used to keep ringing. Also it's a super-quiet instrument--generally they put it in front of the orchestra, in front of the conductor. So there are electrified versions. There's all kinds of stuff I didn't get into in the video. There are sticks with two hammers, so you can play in thirds and fourths. There's also a ring-like thing that lets you play it like a slide guitar. A pet peeve for me is that Orchestral Tools, Strezov Sampling call the Yangqin a plucked instrument. Yes you can pluck it, but I don't think that's accurate. You can pluck a violin too and you often do, but I wouldn't call the violin a plucked instrument. There are a lot of instruments hit with hammers, including pianos and most percussion instruments--that's how it should be categorized, I think.

My first music rig was over the top: 386 with 10 MB drive and 16MB RAM. In the mid-80's that was an enviable setup. The drive was $600 and half the RAM I stole out of a Sun workstation, as I deemed any computer that couldn't make music unworthy of a whole 16MB. Cakewalk 1.0 for DOS, five synths, a 2-track Pioneer and a 4-track TEAC 3340S. Altogether maybe $10-12k or so invested - when I was only making $30k a year. We have it so much better now!!!

Hi Noel, I absolutely agree and didn't mean to imply it was Cakewalk's issue. The challenge was just figuring out what I really needed to do/use. In troubleshooting I kept simplifying and simplifying to see where things worked and then fell apart. Somewhere I switched to Microsoft Wav without noting it and went down a rabbit hole. Yeah, I might let them know what I am seeing but for now, it all works consistently when I am consistent. I certainly learned a lot about quad through 8.1 SS and how it works in Cakewalk.

Until Microsoft drops support and it stops working yes Similar to Win 7.

I only own SILK, but I did spend a lot of time looking at the other ones. RA is very old and the consenus is it shows its age. There's just better world libraries than that. But SILK is still great. There are still things you can do with SILK that you can't do with any other world library. I love the performance patches. You can get some really interesting results. And its authentic. The Yangqin in SILK sounds like a real Yangqin. The one in EAST ASIA is way too bright. I love the NI Spotlight Libraries, but they are way too bright. I guess they think that's what the customers want. So you have to go into Kontakt and turn the EQ down, or else use your own EQ to roll off the highs. To compare SILK to RA: RA covers the whole world and it's 14 GB. SILK is just Silk Road (China, Persia, India) and it is 25 GB. I used to spend a lot of time in Rio when I was married to a Brazilian woman. Talk about a rich musical culture. You really learn about a culture's music when you're there. I know a lot about Brazilian music, but I've never made any because I don't like to think about my crazy ex-wife.

Zip file now contains a .clr that, hopefully does what @Starship Krupa needs ?

Before Cakewalk I remember on my Amiga computer that it would have cost me $700 for a 10MB hard drive & interface. (I didn't do it)

I think that would remove an important psychological factor. Speaking for myself (obviously) I really like JamPoints and having leftovers just gets me excited about what might be around the corner.

Being Canadian, what I like about jam points is that 30% is about the exchange rate between US$ and CAD$. So when I look at a price on IK's site, I can say that it is what I will be paying in CAD$ after using jam points, no need to calculate the conversion. So I guess I am thankful to IK for saving me the brain hurt of doing the 'what will that be in CAD$?' thing. Hey, every little bit counts in saving those rare little brain cycles! ?

should we table this discussion until Lars comes back to add some spice to it?

Posting for posterity. in case anyone interest. I have a bunch of their stuff. They are really cool and work file.. but to be honest.. I have yet to find time to try to use them. I was always meaning to try some really out there experimental stuff with them.. but time is limited.. https://puremagnetik.com/collections/free-plugins/products/fragment-dual-fluctuation-looper

Jack C., Nigel, Douglas, Makke, Tom, tom, John B, Bjorn, and Lynn. First of all my apologies for the delay in responding. It has been one of those periods of time where what can go wrong does go wrong. In my case roofing problems (need a new one -- not a good time for this during rainy and hurricane season), a brief brush with preparation for and clean-up from Elsa, and a stint in the hospital for my wife, and yes - etc. Secondly, my apologies for not responding individually but I thought it wise to get out a response sooner than later. Thank you all for listening to this song and your comments are very much appreciated. Y'all have made some good suggestions and I will be pulling up the working file and trying to apply some fixes. I assume that most comments about the vox are concerning the BGV/harmonies -- after all it couldn't be my lead singing (I jest -- of course), Actually, a MIDI voice was used on the BGV's (oddly enough called Voice Oohs). I think that the balance between the two octaves used might be off and of course I will look at the timing/sync issues as well. The guitar balancing will also be looked at. Thanks also for all the kind comments and the encouragement! Cheers!

I think my point is that some (actually many) feel that 30% doesn't need to be preceded with "only". That's a significant discount to many, especially on already-discounted/promo'd items, based on them happily using them.

Both are widely used (JamPoints are used on almost every eligible purchase, for example) so I wouldn't bank on that happening. If you have any confusion over JamPoints, we do have this page with the pertinent information: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/jampoints/

The PRV shows some CC1 - Modulation event(s) have been entered/recorded. I'm not sure how SI Drums responds to CC1, but CC1=0 might be silencing the synth. If the Mod events weren't added intentionally, try deleting them.

Well I think a better adjective is workflow rather than old school Those programs are built for different primary use cases rather than production. Cakewalk has deep midi editing tools and now articulation support that those programs don't have. And our console view is one of the better implementations depending on your perspectives of course. Look and feel aesthetics vary a lot and we will continue to update our UI. Cakewalk is a program that has roots 30 years ago so there are bound to be some elements that are legacy but that isn't always a bad thing for reasons that you state. PS: try going to Europe and telling people that their architecture is old school lol.

A few things come to mind. 1-Open the synth rack from the view menu and make sure there isn’t 2 versions running. 2- insert a new version and copy the midi data to the new track. The original might have just wandered off which sucks but you just never know with computers

Actually this is the problem. The first time I did the in app update it did not close Cakewalk and got all screwed up. I learned my lesson and now I make sure to close Cakewalk before I run the install program. This is not abnormal at all most software works this way.
