Got in again for $50 to get those peddles and thangs.

Buying SampleTron II would automatically qualify you for crossgrade pricing...as it's more than $99

I followed the same strategy but I bought the Arc3 s/mic - as you can't get hardware as your GP freebie, but you can get SampleTron II! Edit: if you are going for Arc3 w/mic make sure your buying it at $199 level not the $149 crossgrade* so that you qualify for $199 level freebies. *probably not an issue in your case

Spend $1000 get FREE WUP Nah

Electrical engineers actually have to deal with propagation delay, what we'd call latency, based on the lengths of conductors. Actually, it's about the inductive reactance that every conductor has. However, this only becomes a significant factor at very high frequencies, not at audio frequencies. You'd have to have a VERY long cable to get any noticeable delay. Inductance is also a factor in high-power transmission lines, but that's about synchronizing the 50/60Hz waveforms across multiple sources. There are, however, practical considerations when dealing with long audio cables. If they are coiled, their inductance will increase. If in a bundle, they will have inductive crosstalk. Then there is the distributed capacitance between the two internal conductors, which increases linearly with length. These don't affect timing, but they do affect frequency response. Standing waves affect the overall impedance and can cause a nonlinear attenuation and impedance mismatches. Then there are the electrical properties of inductive sources (guitar pickups) that also become part of the circuit. These are the reasons for recommending the shortest cables you can practically use. It has virtually nothing to do with latency. That said, a nice long 14-gauge power cable can be used as an improvised towing rope when the band van has slipped off a snowy road enroute to a gig. True fact.

As Larry already said, shooting for the $199 tier is a good plan! That should get you the most bang for the buck on freebies. For example, for the $199 tier you get MODO Bass, MODO Drum, Hammond B-3X, MixBox, SampleTank 4, Syntronik, plus plenty of extras in the lower tiers like T-RackS modules and AmpliTube collections, and some instruments like Miroslav 2 CE, and some SampleTank instruments.

SampleTron 2 is listed in the Custom Shop under the SampleTank tab for 200 GC.

Whoa, this thing is friggin' LIT. Try the "size mod" knob on the widener panel. It also goes way beyond just stereo widening, there are tone shaping functions. I threw it on a bass patch from Sample Science Deep Jupiter and within seconds it was blowing my mind.

And 50% all the other Strum Libraries. Check your customized special deals. I was able to complete my Strum Library for only $8 a pack.

Is the question about the time sound travels from the source (e.g. bass) to the ear? Or is it about quality of the signal/sound from the bass because of the cable? Here are some thoughts about both. In addition to the explanation by @jackson white above, a good rule to remember is: The speed of sound is approximately 1ms per foot -or- 3ms per meter (the speed of sound varies with temperature, air pressure, humidity). The length of the cable, practically, has nothing to do with the time it takes the sound of the instrument to reach the ear. As mentioned by others above, the sound quality of the instrument (e.g. bass, guitar, etc.) can be affected by the capacitance of the cable. The longer the cable, the higher the capacitance which causes high frequency loss. The amount of loss is dependent on many factors including: length of the cable, the impedance of the pickups/controls and amp input. I suggest looking for high-quality guitar "instrument" cables, with lower capacitance (per foot/meter). I tend to use Mogami 5 or 6 meter "Instrument" cables for recording guitar. But, that's certainly not an absolute rule. It's often a matter of personal choice. Frankly, I've gotten great results with cable runs that are much longer. Try some different lengths and see which ones you like! Some folks like a bit of high-end roll off. Hope that helps! Edit: By the way, active pickups tend to have lower output impedances which allow significantly longer cables.

Funny enough, I can't seem to find any news articles on this !? Sure, it's very old software by this point, but hey... it's free instead of $/€ 79.99 😃 I was messing around with the Download Assistant and saw Sequel 3 under "Complimentary Products". Turns out Steinberg decided to finally release a free DAW of their own, in a roundabout way. No strings attached, just like Dorico SE or Halion Sonic SE. https://www.steinberg.net/sequel/

A fresh and unique scoring toolkit, bringing together a vast collection of different playable world instruments, orchestral strings, synthesizers, percussion ensembles and voices all geared towards creating out of this world soundscapes for film, TV and videogames.

What? You think I ACTUALLY use this crap?

Thank you (and @cclarry) for your comments. I singled you out because I remember you extolling HBS in the HOOPUS thread on VI. Boy, we need a glossary for the acronyms. I am watching a YT on the word builder now. Sounds better than I expected.

You can never have too many thangs.

HBS, definitely. I loathe an MBA like I loathe WUP, but Hollywood Backup Singers is a better choice than Voices of Soul for three reasons: it’s got the divine CC White as does VoS, it’s got the Pink Floyd sisters and it’s got the word builder,

I'm not Fleer...but HBS is a bit more versatile...but that depends on the music you write.. Both are very good!

Here's where you find the library in the download manager, for anyone interested. The page doesn't give explicit instructions.

Very Nice price for the Marshall KKS !!

I don't see this one in the drop-down list

RE-SON-A-TOR Come on, IK

I was going to post something just like this but you beat me too it!

Ye gads- It never occurred to me that it might be an A interface. It would be a waste of SSD if it's not USB-C. I will even run a diagnostic on it and post the results here.

i would recommend get hardware using jam points. i think it has more usefulness than just software. the software you will get free them. over the years i for z-tone, and irigs.. and it was good hardware.

Great tip on how to navigate and get value with that scenario Larry.

Get the Hammond too!

I used an 18' (5.5m) mic cable and an 8' (2.4m) guitar cable for 16 years live. I still have them and still use them to record. They are about 35 years old now. I never noticed any latency issues at all on stage or recording. That said, I just bought my first new mic cable in 35 years. It's 5' (1.5m). I got it so my recording cables aren't so tangled and messy. I use Hosa Technology cables. They are cheap, extremely well made, and I don't hear any noise when using the balanced ones. I've had cables made by Sweetwater and they were poor quality. There was no stress protection at the jacks and the wire bends at a 90 degree angle where it comes out of the jack if you aren't careful. Craig Anderton puts LED's in his cables. They act as a transient filter. I always wanted to try it but never took the time to do it.

This is the keyboard bass that Ray Manzarek used. It's really well done.

The small consensus was pretty mixed… Considering that the goal of this plugin is also a pretty mix, that must be a good thing, no?

A lot of fun and special moments as usual. Also a very cool surprise from my friends at Sound Yeti. Check out the video description for more info. Thanks as always for all of your support!

I used to have a turntable that you could switch between 33 rpm, 45 rpm or 78 rpm. These settings allowed me to change the speed of sound. 😜

If all you need is a gain-staging plug, then the Hornet Normalizer will do that. The Mix Monolith does gain-staging, ducking/expansion and track volume setting based on a preset that you have to select. It does not continuously adjust track volume. It sets it once after it has analyzed the track. The AutoGain pro is an entirely different plug-in. It measures the level of one track and changes the gain of a second track in proportion to the first track using a sidechain. An example of use for the AutoGain Pro would be to keep a vocal track slightly higher in volume than an instrument track or instrument subgroup.

Yeah, I rolled back to the FX 3.3. Version. Drew is a good guy, and helped me on a few things post migration. But in the end, I got tired of too many wonky stability issues. If they solve these, I’ll come back because I REALLY dig the sounds, but until then…

I get up, I get down.

I shook my head and smiled a whisper

Seasons will pass you by

Fixed!

Huh?

no, but, patience young jedi

Absolutely worth it. Opus changes the entire Hollywood Orchestra into something new and extremely useful.
