I'm in the US and buy a ton of stuff from European online stores, like Plugin Boutique, etc. I like to use PayPal instead of giving them my credit card number. However, when I get the USD charge from PayPal, it's always been slightly higher than what I expected. Recently, I discovered that I could still use PayPal but have my bank convert to USD instead of PayPal. This saves me about 2%+. Not a whole lot but at the rate I buy stuff, it adds up! LOL All you have to do is click the "See currency options" link on the initial PayPal checkout window. Select the foreign currency box and then the blue Pay button. I've walked through the process on a blog post with screenshots. I gotta imagine there are others that might benefit from this tip. https://www.seriouslytrivial.com/2021/09/07/dont-let-paypal-translate-your-foreign-purchases/5 points

There are two issues facing producers using midi packs to produce today's chart topping hits. Velocity levels Note lengths So I'm bringing to market a midi pack with the revolutionary feature of folders inside it for each possible velocity combination of every chord, as well as a large number of midi note lengths from the stabbiest staccato all the way out to two bar note sustains. That's 4096 variations per chord than other competing midi packs! Now you might be thinking to yourself, if only I had this idea first, I could produce such a midi chord pack and be well on my way to becoming a bazillionaire, but don't fret; I've got you! As a strictly limited time offer for the next 12 hours, you can get in at the ground level of this amazing business. We are looking for savvy midi users interested in opening their own midi pack franchise.

It's both interesting and strange how different we all are. I've produced 15 albums using Cakewalk, doing all my composition in the staff view and the event list. I've written many songs and short pieces, 2 concertos and 11 symphonies--all in Cakewalk. Since Bandlab fixed numerous staff view issues, I've been very happy with it. As I said, everyone's workflow and approach to composition is different. Luckily for me, Cakewalk and I have been highly compatible! Jerry3 points

If you bought all my software, I'd probably throw in the house as a freebie. Not sure which has more value these days.3 points

Yeah... if you spend $198 first I heard a rumor there was a guy who offered his all software licenses gratis if you bought his house Call me greedy, but I prefer freebie without strings attached (unless they are guitar ones3 points

First of all, I'm glad you enjoy the book! As to the status of an update, unfortunately that won't happen unless BandLab gets behind it in some way (putting it in a Cakewalk Store, advertising it in the magazines they own, or whatever). Books take a lot of effort, and if they don't sell at least several hundred copies a year, they're not worth doing. Although it sold very well back in the day when Cakewalk put it in their newsletters and such, it's only sold about 8 copies in the last year. But you never know - I hope that someday, BandLab will open a Cakewalk Store so people can get their hands on all the cool stuff that used to come with Platinum. A revised version of the book could find a home there.3 points

Here's a Very minimal project using only my Godin la patrie classical/ jazz crossover. I wanted to use an additional mic , but I went DI because of the pounding rain from the hurricane ( in my not so soundproof music room). Anything sticking out that needs attention feel free to let me know. I know I've got a few string squeaks but opted to leave them in. It was nice not fooling with a lot of tracks . Thank You .. mark2 points

Greetings. I've been diving into the DAW landscape (CbB, Audio Interface, MIDI controller keyboard, cables, microphone....etc....) for the last few weeks and, imho, the Creative Sauce series by Mike on You Tube is the best CbB tutorial series available. Here is a LINK to the YT page of Creative Sauce: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCESNxzJHzDnCIuRO0RhQLeA2 points

Oh yes, thank you for reminding me about that. I'll have to figure out how to send you some proper taste buds2 points

The BEST bang for the buck and ease of use for a MIDI generator- bar none. Rapid Composer has 10x the capability, but a learning curve to match.2 points

I look at it this way, the group price makes it a very low cost way to experiment and not worry that you spent a fortune. I say that as a person that has no guitar skills at all Also I brought Amplitude 5 as my buy in.2 points

This gets so much love and development it’s hard to keep up. I find if I’ve not used it for a while, I need to invest some time and go back to basics, then learn the new stuff. The support via video tutorials is also second to none. Really excellent plugin.2 points

what I like about this is the apparent $320 saving. I bought crispy tuner when it was released - PA buy it and BOOM and suddenly it's nearly TEN TIMES more expensive (list price $399)...why ? and no, there doesn't seem to be any extra functionality. Personally I don't think it's that good compared to the others but YMMV2 points

You can't get there from here - things not included in the group buy (presently) that are in AT5 MAX are: Amps (and corresponding cabs): E650, HiAmp, JCA100H, JCA20H, MAZ 18 Jr., MB 150 S, Powerball, THD Bi-Valve, V3M Carvin, Z Wreck Stomps: Contour Wah, Nirvana, Nu-Tron III, Power Grid, Seek Trem, Seek Wah, Shape Shifter, T-Rex Moller, T-Rex Mudhoney, T-Rex Replica I have the HiAmp, MB 150 S and THD Bi-Valve (previous IK giveaways, I think). Too bad these aren't available as picks for promotions, which from this point for myself and many others will otherwise be all duplicates (hint).2 points

I think a lot of that depends on whether the transformers were modeled, they were part of the secret to "that sound." The waveforms in the article I referenced look suspiciously like what output transformers do to sine waves. And no matter how hard they tried, they did have non-linearities. I visited Wendy Carlos many years ago when she was using the pre-ADAT Akai digital recorder (I think it was called the DR1200). I couldn't understand why it sounded so much better than other DR1200s, and it wasn't a subtle difference...better low end. warmer, didn't have that brittle digital sound, etc. She said it was due to her adding transformers at the inputs and outputs. She knows her stuff, so I wasn't going to doubt her!2 points

Regarding the "secrets" of the console emulator and what it does internally, I have no clue lol. We purchased the technology many years ago for the prochannel. Only the original dev would know the technical details of circuit emulation are typically a closely guarded secret. I personally think there is some degree of snake oil in all this analog emulation stuff but I'm no expert on analog consoles2 points

I've just finished and uploaded the video of the penultimate song and video from my upcoming album. This track has been in the works for the past three to four months. In that time I've survived getting the dreaded Covid amongst other things. The track is in two parts and I used alternate acoustic guitar tunings as an experiment. My good friend Mark Beling (also a guitarist) caught Covid at the same time as I did and I decided that when we get through the recovery I'd invite him to contribute to the song. I also had my good friends, drummer (Larry Rose) and Hammond/piano player (Dave Sharp) play on the track. I used a some stock video and video that I filmed to accompany the audio which I think worked out quite nicely. The song (both parts) runs for about ten minutes, so for those who love three and a half minute songs wait until you have some time to listen. The audio was tracked and mixed in Cakewalk with the final mastering done in Adobe Audition. The video was produced in Adobe After Effects and Magix Vegas. I hope that you enjoy this track as much as I enjoyed putting it together.1 point

So I was on the fence as well. Did I need another analog? I thought that I had VA fairly well covered, especially with u-he Repro in hand. Well, the answer is, that the tone of this thing is ridiculously, OMG good! Not quite as polite as Repro, so it would be a great analog synth for cutting through a mix. More oscillator options than Repro has as well...1 point

What i would do is uncompress every file to folders of my choice and use those files. Then move the original compressed files, the whole pack, to a backup harddisk. If something goes wrong you can always go back to the backup, move it back, and start over again.1 point

That's a bit pricey for just 30MB/20MB. If you can get AT&T's fiber optic in your area, you can get 1GB upload/1GB download (in actuality, about 900MB up & down) and I pay $100 for that. Only thing is, it's not always available in all areas.1 point

As a couple of you know, I just lost 1.3 TB off a 3 TB drive. I've used Carbonite for years (decades?), NO MORE!!! It took over 37 DAYS to restore that 1.3 TB's and... once I had it all back, the 10 TB drive I had restored to broke its connector (it's basically useless now - I'm trying to decide what to do). Carbonite wouldn't send me a disk and their download rate caps at a ridiculous 1.5 GB PER HOUR!!! I'm now using BackBlaze. It's cheaper, has unlimited storage, AND will use as much bandwidth that you can throw at it! Just use a NAS attached to your computer and BackBlaze will not only back up every drive IN your computer, but those attached EXTERNALLY to your computer!1 point

Assuming no previous IK purchases, buy a $99.99 product to get eligibility for crossgrades, then pick up AmpliTube for $199.99 which gives you 2x freebies (MODO DRUM is at the $199.99 tier). For an even better deal, purchase 300 gear credits for $225, and buy the products with gear credits. And there’s also a 15% coupon from Groove3.1 point

I was having problems last night as well, but worked this morning. Also, the Bite Harde intro price is €14.90 instead of €24 (excl. VAT), however; account holders with newsletter subscription get it for €8.20. My Crush was free. Odd thing is I can’t create a password for my account. I guess they need a new web guy. I predict I never actually use them but for the price, it’s worth a tickle and a cheap way to support a good plugin dev. ?1 point

This is the most unusual take I've heard on this song. Yes, it's a corny song, but this is a very original take on it. I wouldn't buy the CD, but I found it interesting. The singer seems to be influenced by Amy Winehouse, the trumpet player is quite good, they seem to be playing different styles, but it sort-of works.1 point

Welcome we were all noobs once. The Guitar is definitely a little to thin how did you capture it? All in all nice little number that a few mix tweaks will probably make even more of a pleasure to listen to.1 point

I would say it may well last forever, it's the same thing I have been seeing as an add before youtube videos for ages, I have looked at it before, but never purchased it as something felt a little dodgy, not that it is, just the feeling I got, plus this type of thing is not something I would usually buy or use, but it did interest me enough to take a look.1 point
