Come on, Larsy. Missin’ ya.

Well, I got so much IK stuff that even with me in the lowly $49 level I got a lot more added to my available picks. I will have to go through each one, but I think I already have them all. Still, it was a wonderful thing IK did to help make this the best sale ever. I told ya'll it would go all the way!!

It's a conspiracy. The admin is a double-agent for KVR.... Oh! I know! We should go over there and start talking religion AND politics on their thread!

Once again, Bapu, you beat me to posting here. While working on this acoustic guitar library, it quickly became my favorite. It really gets that sound of the guitar with super old strings that you don't change because they have a certain magic to them.

Seems they are making more affordable interfaces now. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Universal-Audio-Volt.gc?source=4TPAK5BF&dtm_em=0fd04299e1782e2cbed1d52db947f766

We're excited to present Evolution Dry Relic, the latest addition to our Evolution series that features a vintage steel string acoustic guitar outfitted with old, worn-in strings. The guitar has a dark, earthy sustain with just a glimpse of brightness in the attack, and is sure to add a unique character to your music. Evolution Dry Relic is normally $179 USD, but until October 20th you can pick up your copy at a special introductory discount of $139. Use the link below to watch the walkthrough video, listen to audio demos, and get all the tech specs. MORE INFO

This is why we can't have nice things. ?

I thought that would be a 4- or 8-finger discount in your case, Rowlf:

I did, works well and I certainly prefer one program open vs two.

Fixed! ?

Thanks! I updated my spreadsheet above with the latest gear (yesterday, actually). I also updated the release dates.

For me with bundle upgrade price and orange slices picked this up for a Grant….which I guess is also under a Benjamin hehe

I think the Cakewalk documentation may need a refresh. Could also be that the authors of the documentation were making the assumption that the user would only enable plugin upsampling on a handful of plugins. Which I think makes sense. You would think that if they intended on the user enabling upsampling on a bunch of plugins they would have come up with a more useful user interface for such a task.

I've received many comments and questions about how I integrate software synthesis, with the many arpeggiation, filtering, envelope and sync-to-tempo options with virtual orchestral instruments. When orchestrating a passage that contains a synth timbre, listen closely to the harmonic pattern and/or the rhythmic pattern that is being expressed in the arpeggiation sequence or filtering. This information can give you both melodic and harmonic clues as to how to proceed with orchestration. Also, it is very common with many synth timbres that the attack times can be very fast, faster than many acoustic instruments are capable of. The solution is to simply delay the entire synth track by X number of milliseconds or ticks (division of quarter notes into 480,. 960, etc.) so that the synths and the samples have better coordination with their attacks. Measures 45-65 demonstrates some of these techniques: Example Jerry

I have been lurking with bated breath. I have been rolling over the numbers in my back pocket. How could I pass up such schweet deal? Well, I have AT5, MD Drums, MD Bass, TR Deluxe, SSS reverb, MP 2, et al. There is just not enough cream left in the pail. I wanted to stroke the wand for ST4, as I only have ST3, but it seems as if I have yet to dive headlong into ST3, which has enough victuals for a small banquet. I wish I would have snatched Kontakt 6 during the summer sale. However, my mind is not yet negatively persuaded in the finite fashion. One only needs so much fat, and then it is a glu honestly though, this is a great deal for the initiate, the broker, and the collector. GBIK IKYDC

Let us know before next announcement and we’ll get him banned for 48 hours heheh. Amazing library

Here’s a new way I discovered that is perfect for singer songwriter stuff. Input 1 vocal mike Input 2 guitar Record your song best as you can focus on the tempo and a solid punchy rhythm . Don’t worry about the details of performance as these 2 track will get re done. Don’t use the metronome Drag the guitar track to the time line to create a tempo map. Record a bass track. Drag the bass track to a midi track and quantize and edit. Make it perfect. Use you favourite bass VST Insert you drum VST and now lay down kick track and quantize and edit to lock in with the bass. Now record the rest of the kit part by part. Quantize and edit. Now lay down some keyboard parts to fill in the space and add interest or a counter rhythm part. Of course you quantize! you now should have a bed track that is squeaky tight. Now sing you heart out and get a perfect vocal track. Gotta love Melodyne 5 Last I like to do the guitars so as to not walk all over the vocals and this will also ad the needed sloppiness to the tune.

Not sure how you started the project as this would be the key. You normally either lay down the first recordings to the metronome or even better a basic drum beat. After I have a few guide tracks with bass, guitar and scratch vocal i often record the drums part by part. Say start with a kick track. I then quantize it using the settings that closely matched the correct grid. So I’m not sure how you arrived at laying down your dum parts. But Quantization is how I tighten up drum parts. There are hundreds of ways to create a song and Cakewalk can do them all. Watch some videos to get ideas on how others do it to get some ideas.

I hate end dates. Especially of the given kind.

Great reminder, Abe!

Of course this is about CbB. This is the forum for Cakewalk not Sonar Some of us might remember how things work in Sonar and there is still all the documentation somewhere. Workspaces is one of the many new features and why you should upgrade

Amazing ! Your talent runs Deep and will always be with you. I feel embarrassed even attempting to give you suggestions. ms

Thanks. I totally agree about Dylan. Can't listen to him but love his songs. My goal is to get this good enough without AutoTune. I know I can do it, it'll just take some technical adjustments...

Yeah, I think the original vibe is better. I just found it fascinating that I could even do this - just drop in a totally different beat. Alternate universes, etc. Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I'm working on improving things. Not to be immodest, but I've always considered myself a good singer (see the link below), so to hear this stuff go so off pitch has been profoundly distressing to me. But as it turns out, this is a well-known phenomenon when recording vocals with headphones, a problem I seem to be particularly susceptible to. I'm watching some videos and other links and I'm beginning to get a handle on how to address my second take is already miles better than the first. Here's the aforementioned link - me in "Kiss Me, Kate" in 1997. I loves me a dirty song...

Bump. This is still free... check out the video linked above! And it's awesome! *Full Kontakt required

Ditto for the LPB-1!! Loved that thing when I first got it:) It’s long gone now, but the reissue isn’t too bad.

Hi Barry. You have a great talent for story telling. You also have in my opinion a lovely voice to express the story telling. I used to work as a proff singer years ago... you have the voice mate.. Sometimes its the story and the way it is sung.. sometimes pitch/or lack off doesnt make a song. People rave about bob Dylan... I don't like his voice at all... but his songs are fantastic. When people pay to see an artist they expect a very different standard and also modern music today is in my opinion too much in tune and in time that many songs dont breathe or move (groove). Please dont knock yourself back with feeling you have to be dead on pitch... you will loose Barry... becasue Barry will try and be something his uniqueness will prevent. hope you understand what I mean. Imperfections can make a great track!

It's not so much switching picks as reassigning a used slot to an available slot in a lower tier.

I think there are a LOT of us that would sub out picks if we could! ?

I remember some Cakewalk users reporting some issues, but I saw those before I updated, so I waited. IIRC shortly after the issues were reported AAS had a follow-up update that fixed those issues. The two that I updated this time around (Chromaphone and Objeq Delay) haven't had issues so far; nor did they cook dinner, wash the dishes, or tuck me in at night. ? YMMV.

No problem. I love the Nu-Tron III so I can't believe I missed that, or the mics. There's A LOT of gear in those charts though, in my defense ?

With my Bundle Upgrade price and my Orange slices picked this up for under a Benjamin.

Points for the cute UI. The problem with cute UIs, though, is that they offer few clues as to what you're actually doing. Do I need more fertilizer? Maybe. Or maybe choosing the Tulip algorithm was a mistake. I guess the idea is to encourage experimentation, which is good. Especially if you have no idea what the Haas Effect is.

Jeff, this reminds of coming home from school and the old man would be playing the piano. You had to sit on the porch and listen, ‘cause if you came thru the door down went the lid on the keys. He was a horn player and I guess never felt comfortable with an audience when he was “ticklin’ the ivories”. Well done , much enjoyed! t

The addition of The X -Time , The X -Space , The X- Drive and The X- Vibe as promo give away items may have sent my poor fractured lost soul over the edge and put me in serious legal jeopardy . I have just spent the whole morning talking with a detective in a locked interrogation room . The authorities have charged me with cruelty to my pillow . I have no Idea or recollection of what exactly happened last night but I am told I put my pillow in a choke hold while whispering and professing my desire to have and hold dear a few of the X - Series Pedals in Amplitube 5 . My pillow was OK w that up until a point. It was when I started drooling on all 4 corners of my pillow and when I accidentally ate the pillows warning tag that put me in uncharted waters w my pillow . Apparently I had crossed the line by going there . Lucky for me I was only given a warning by the authorities . It turns out the main condition of my continued freedom solely rests on my ability to get a hold of The X- Space and The X- Time plugs for use in Amplitube 5 . Yep that's what I'm gonna have to do ? Kenny

thanks for the nice feedback.

Scook.... YOU RULE!!!

First, this is awesome. Anybody who has played Solid State Symphony or the Symphony patch on Amadeus knows what it is. You get the sound of a symphony orchestra that you can fill in with a synth if you want. But it also runs a slideshow of breathtaking NASA pictures that follow your playing. The cool thing is that you can turn off the sound and then play a piano (or anything) and watch the slide show move according to your playing. Pretty great for something that is already spacey like Nada or a FrozenPlain library. Of course this is also a great ad for SSS or Amadeus, because anybody who likes this essential one trick pony would like to have all the options of the others. @kitekrazy is so right. Every Indiginus library I own is A++++++ And you never have to wait for a sale, because they are always priced very reasonably. The only way to get them discounted is when they are introduced. I think if they were priced at two or three times the price and then Tracy had sales now and then, he would sell a ton more. Most people on this forum are probably like me--too influenced by the sense of urgency you get from a 50% markdown. Well, these things are marked way way down 365 days a year. Beautiful sounds with wonderful interfaces.

Wow! So tempted to make some uplifting Trace with this. Overkill some reverb and delay with this. This is another developer I want to own everything.

For a small library, this sounds pretty good, the astronomy photographs are a nice touch too.
