Then maybe try exploring what you have, rather than seeking more deals! ?

After all the storms passed I started it up again and now I have the box/logo thing in the instrument area and it works fine. I had opened and closed st4 a few times before my posts, no idea why its ok now, maybe big storms voodoo?

No fair Simeon you make all the pianos vsti you demo sound so good

In my drunken youth I woke up with worse!

Say what?

Wish I could get Omnisphere. Just can't justify the price. It has never been at that no brainer level for me.

If you go to the IK Website and log into your User Area, a Pop Up will ask if you want to Redeem the Art Deco Piano. After that when you open the Product Manager it should be there already authorized. That was my experience. It is a nice piano for a freebie, and thanks for posting the IRL pic, that looks really nice. I am going to try and feature it on the livestream Thursday.

I've always had exactly 0 issues with either downloading, installing and/ or authorizing IK stuff.

Here's one I've been going back and forth on for quite a while. I keep getting road blocked on the lyrics and vocals so , I'm just posting it for now as an instrumental. All feedback is welcomed . If anyone want's a shot at it you're more than welcomed. Thanks .. mark

So here we go again ;^) https://bit.ly/APD_Sampletekk_Insane_Keys_Bundle *some links help provide support through being an affiliate

Naw this is tame. Go to Pianoworld forum and look up threads about Pianoteq ? ?

Yeah, the ability to run multiple devices is not something manufacturers keep secret. If their devices are designed to run together, it will be documented and included in their marketing material. The opposite is not true. IOW, don't expect manufacturers to go out of their way to document their devices are not designed to run together or see that as a bullet point in their marking material.

Different interface same discussion The bottom line is if interfaces can be aggregated, the hardware documentation will cover how to do it. It takes a specially designed ASIO driver (ideally although other driver modes may work) and a way to sync the devices to the same clock. This is something hardware vendors who support the feature document. Any audio or MIDI interface changes will likely require adjusting projects to suit the new hardware.

Of course. Well at least a Kontakt instrument: https://soundiron.com/products/flatulus. Full Kontakt required though.

Mixing vocals can be easy if you just know the right approach. Today, we are going to use EQ, Compression, and even some nice extras to get a vocal to set on top of a mix. What is EQ? It stands for Equalization. This is a term that describes what an EQ is doing, it is literally making things equal. In other words, if you have an offending frequency that is built up in the vocal, you can grab an EQ to make that frequency more pleasent to hear by turning it down. Want an awesome EQ cheatsheet to hang at your mixing station? Join the Patreon group at $1 or more a month and you get access to one! Mixing Vocals in Cakewalk by BandLab

I am looking forward to selecting the two winners of our Hammers and Waves Giveaway. You still have time to visit the channel and check out the livestream replay. I will also be covering a couple of iOS apps that have really amazed me with what you can do. Of course, there will probably be a few piano libraries; Soniccouture Xtended Piano) and other news along the way. I look forward to seeing you at 4:30 PM EST on July 22.

You "should" be able to authorize it from IK Product Manager.

Maybe it's because I RTFM, follow the instructions and do it the way they say to instead of the way I want to

Lucky guy. Buy me a lottery ticket. ?

"Blyss Mastering Channel is a 3-stage processor designed specifically to make busses — both mix and instrument — sound “prettier”. It also happens to sound incredible on individual tracks too. While it has multiple cascading Saturations, a 6-band EQ and a mastering grade Compressor, all sections have been greatly simplified to reflect Kush’s old-school approach to processing: less is more, choices are limited but comprehensive, and all sections are designed to work together, making it nearly impossible to produce a bad sound." $99.00 https://thehouseofkush.com/products/blyss

I've always thought that "The Very Big One" is a great product name for a piano VI

Looks like a great deal…….but I have soooo many pianos?

The WG2 combines white grand & sister, right? I've always liked that VI! Somehow, I've never ended up buying Black Grand or TVBO...could this be the time?! ?

I do some computer support. My first thought is power supply. But could be something else overloading the power supply. Sadly, the only real way to test the power supply is to use a known good power supply. I'm not familiar with Lenovo's and don't know if it uses (or can use) a standard ATX power supply or some custom power supply.

BandLab is a web based collaboration/creator tool. It's a stripped down DAW not to be considered a replacement to CbB but does integrate to CbB (or so I'm told). It existed before they bought the Cakewalk assets. It is now being improved upon (and it looks like they might be using some of the CbB tech, IDK).

Checked the release notes, and sure enough there it was, the smoking gun: I asked Noel if changing the number of outputs in a VI update could corrupt a project, and he said yup. Bottom line: do not reopen any Omnisphere projects created before June 2021 and you'll be fine. If you must revisit an old project that has Omnisphere in it, be prepared to perform extensive repairs. And if one of the affected tracks is frozen, leave it frozen to avoid subsequent crashes.

Wookie, you never seem to be at a loss for inspiration. You make synthesizers interesting and are to be commended for your efforts. Keep up the good work, my friend!

LOL yeah I started with T-racks v1 - the rack - something like 20 years ago. I had no idea what was what, just picked the first preset and it already gave me the sound close to what I was looking for. Had to tweak it a little more for the next couple weeks (the classics have not so obvious controls at least to me) and I was there. That way I got bought effectively into the whole T-rackS ecosystem. And that was in times when I had no idea about mixing. But it was just the rack so the 'problem' was fairly low, now I've got almost the whole collection more like 50 of them

Anything that has a squelchy synth in the intro starts well I would say, nice tone on the guitar, it also counter points that guitar nicely. Cool grooving, as they say, on the bass and the drums.

It is really geared towards a keyboard player playing a guitar in real time. IOW, a good keyboard player could make some good sounding guitar tracks with it.

This is probably the iLok issue I've reported here and to Celemony (zero response). Even if Melodyne is serial number validated, unless you have iLok installed on your machine (it can be doing nothing apart from having the service running), the initial analysis is slow (it's a fixed 11 seconds overhead from memory - obviously it's sitting waiting for a timeout from the iLok driver before trying alternative methods - poor design IMHO).

Temp sync for this project finished! ? After many Ctrl/Alt/Del, I think that it is crashing only when I drag a clip that is right after a measure change. I had to manually adjust the tempo at the measure following a measure change, then drag the next measure, and it didn't crash BTW, the song is Genesis "Firth by Fifth". The tracks are from karaoke-version.com. It is a great version that perfectly matches the tempo of Genesis studio recording, beat by beat. I will use it as a base to record our own. This is how the tempo looks now: Thank you for all the helpful suggestions.

The warden threw a party in the county jail The prison band was there, and they began to wail The band was jumpin', and the joint began to swing You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing Let's rock Everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Kenny

Of course: we are in the Deals forum after all!

What harddrive said: Me too.

I solved it by going into Custom Shop and doing a 'Restore My Purchases'.

Good News...! IF you have the full version of MPC Software. Version 2.10 was released yesterday. The update seems to run pretty smooth with Cakewalk. I ran it this Am with no crashes and my test project saved and loaded without issues

I would never dream of competing with His Majesty Larry, but I have done a Black Friday post on VI:Control for the past three years. I categorize all the deals by type and put them into alphabetical order. I think that I have had the most comprehensive and organized list of BF music software deals on the web--but this year I am going to add a LOT more stuff. It's pretty much all I do in November. https://vi-control.net/community/threads/tiger-the-frogs-alphabetical-list-of-november-2020-sales.100595/ But Larry ALWAYS gets the deals fastest and I only do this once a year. I have no idea how he does it all the time. When I get to December, I need deals rehab. Wait....

Modo is not giving you all those great songwriter tools so I believe those two are different leagues...

You can't have version 4 & 5 installed at the same time. As soon as you install version 5, it removes version 4 and deactivates your v4 license. It actually forced me to remove my v4 license from my iLok account before activating the v5 one. In saying that, once installed & activated, it was pretty smooth and ran in CbB without issue. Also, there's no actual difference in the Essential vs Editor vs Studio program. It's the same program, but activates the various features based on your license. Oh - and remember... Melodyne 5 does not work in Window 7.

Mooer Radar with Acoustic Guitar IR The above video shows the Mooer Radar, that is a guitar pedal for loading Cab IR, loaded with several acoustic guitar body IR and its sound with a piezo.

Good post msmcleod! That technique can help acoustify (is that a real word? can we copyright it if not?) a DI recorded guitar. There are a number of acoustic guitar IRs out there, where instead of capturing sound of a room they capture sound of a guitar body. Here's a free Taylor Guitar set that uses a variety of mics https://drive.google.com/a/t-sciences.com/file/d/0B1XgNa5vH3j1ZkVoTFJLQ241WTg/view I found this mentioned on a Line6 thread (where there are also links to other kinds of IRs) https://line6.com/support/topic/26822-free-irs/ You might also try hunting / googling for IRs or checking KVR (they use to have links for posts & links for IRs but I haven't checked in quite a while).
