. . . somebody racked up enough Jam Points?

If you'd be interested in buying me a coffee, just make a contribution here on Paypal... cclarry122700@hotmail.com If you'd care to drop me a line outside of the Cakewalk forum, then this is my primary email address also! PLEASE NOTE: This is NON-OBLIGATORY...just a kind gesture of appreciation for the effort expended!

If its true, hope Peter will be OK.

Larry, You should definitely check out Ko-fi. https://ko-fi.com/ It's easy to set up a page and they take no fee. When somebody buys you a coffee it goes immediately into your PayPal. And you don't have to give out your email. All the best, Reid PS Glad you're doing this!

https://valhalladsp.com/2021/11/23/valhallavintageverb-updated-to-2-2-0-cathedral-mode/ The Cathedral algorithm is an updated and expanded version of a reverb I originally developed in 2014 for the Spin Semiconductor FV-1. The VintageVerb version can use a lot more delay memory than the FV-1 version (with higher Size settings), that results in a very clear and open reverb decay. We’ve also expanded the filtering of the Cathedral algorithm, for a more realistic decay, while retaining the balanced ensemble modulation of the FV-1 original. The 2.2.0 update is available to anyone that owns VintageVerb - just go to the My Account page and grab the latest installers. Don’t own VintageVerb yet? Check out the demo version on our Demos and Downloads page! We hope you enjoy the VintageVerb update, and thanks for your support!

I do speak Italian. The article doesn't really say much beyond giving an overview of the various companies portfolios who are in competition to buy IK. One thing I will say. These are investment companies which means they have little interest in the companies they buy. Their only intention will be to buy cheap then grow sales quickly and sell IK on at a profit. It might be good for the consumer in the short term.

Just one request….please….pretty please…do not sell to InMusic!!

You don't need to hold out See below from the Syntronik 2 news:

This is interesting. I can't crossgrade to this because I got the last few Syntronik Synths (Deluxe or whatever) through Total Studio 3.5. I was one of the first with Syntronik as a pre-buy. I tried out the other instruments on my iPad and didn't think they were worth the upgrade. Anyway, I just upgraded from Total Studio 2 to Total Studio 3.5 for $175, including Jampoints. Less than what it would costsme to get this. And I just spent $99 to get all the Arturia synths and keyboards that came out since 2016. Is buying Total Studio the best way to buy from IK? That has always been the case since I started buying. But you have to not buy anything until the next one comes out. Can I hold out waiting for this? I have all the Arturias, Vintage Vault 3, the original Syntronik, everything AAS, plus a ton of other stuff like Pigments, Synthmaster, and 20 other synths. There's no way I'll ever be able to study all the stuff I already own in depth for as long as I live. Oh yes, I have Omnisphere too. ? I'm good.

Run the Program Manager to install!

So that's why I never got my free Keyboard ? ?

The other way to look at it is that it was the other plugins you bought previously that you did not need and unfortunately that money is gone. These are the ones that you actually need, so go and get them! ? BTW, if anyone is thinking of buying both, I suggest you buy them separately: one now to get the free Melda plugin one in a couple of days to get the next free plugin at AudioDeluxe and use the 0.99 DeluxeBucks you get from the first purchase The current free Melda plugin ends nov 23, I suspect a new one will be available then.

And, NO, I don't work for JRR...I've just been doing this for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time...LOL

This is an important update for those who have version Sampletank 4.14. Sampletank 4.14 had an issue with some patches where if the attack was a non zero value, the attack for that patch became zero when a high velocity was used. (I reported this to IK support) I tried this with a Sampletank 4.14 project that manifested this issue and I can confirm that this has been corrected in Sampletank 4.15.

Fixed for you

Cherry Audio Synth Stack 2 - is every synth they make. Keep in mind, the Cherry Audio store discount this bundle based on the products already purchased. Something resellers don't do ATM.

The more I do this GAS stuff. the more I like supporting smaller devs. AAS and SoundDust on my list now. It's good to support a smaller dev and keep them floating.

He saved me money. It's not his fault if I spent it.

Skaka has become my go-to shaker maker for when I don't need all the bells 'n whistles of the likes of Shimmer Shake Strike. Ridiculously easy to use, I'd been looking for something like it for years. Just noticed it's been updated since I bought it at its introduction, with 10 new instruments added. So thanks for the post, Larry. I essentially just got a new percussion instrument for free.

Fixed for 'after the GB'

Everything?? Holy moses. Some very cool libraries from this company. Especially if you want to make a Tarantino-spaghetti-western-dub-jazz-fusion-surf-action-movie soundtrack.

Get that man a coffee!

What a way to celebrate your 25th! ?

This last GB totally jacked up their user count. I was wondering why they were giving away the shop. Fund raising and numbers. I'll bet the original owner gets to keep what's in the bank...

TDR Kotelnikov GE and TDR SlickEQ Mastering are both on sale, $9.99 each. Deal expires in two weeks. I think this is the lowest they have ever been?

A fantastic collaboration with multi-Grammy-winning mastering engineer Howie Weinberg is coming very soon.. Log in to Facebook to view https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=3008464436060472

Is the war Syntronik 2

..the more you play, the better the guitar. I've come to realize that I'm looking forward to the end of my work day, just so I can get home to my Cakewalk projects. I've fairly recently got an Icon Qcon Pro2 that slowly gets into muscle memory. I've recently started to use the pro channel more and more, because I've come to trust it. It is darn good. The joy I get from this makes me very grateful, and if I exaggerate just a bit, I could say Cakewalk has become part of my persona. I just would not know what to to without it. (I'd had to fiddle with ye olde Tascam 244 four track cassette recorder. Yes, I still have it somewhere in the basement) Thanx guys for excellent performance over the entire line. Product, forum and all.

Get that man a coffee farm.

Hey, Give him a donut while you're at it!!

Then you don't want this...this is a rusty, squeaky, gate....

Got the full Preparato. Lovely prep piano.

I have a feeling that Garritan are also a clothing company, so I've put 'Virtual Instruments' in the title, just to be on the safe side ?

I am personally tired of the Spitfire approach to unusual string sounds. Tundra is a classic, yes, but they have become more stale and unimaginative as time goes on with their EVOs. This stuff is very specific and not as useful or as fun to play with as other libraries. I don't think they're ahead of the curve any more. While they sign up famous composers, other people just come up with interesting concepts and scripting. IMO, the exciting work in this area today is being done by Ben Osterhouse, Westwood Instruments, and HAVE audio with solo instruments and Sunset Strings and Arkhis for orchestral. The OT Time Series is also something I really love. As I'm not really an orchestral composer, I don't have any plans to buy any more traditional orchestral libraries. I'm happy with Cinematic Studio. I'll keep buying solo instruments. But I like these unusual libraries and will continue to open up my wallet for them. They are the kind of libraries where you can compose music with one or two instruments. Add a piano and you can have something really beautiful.

I keep looking at Bitwig as a secondary DAW. I'm %100 on Cubase now, but keep thinking I should get something different to mix things up a bit. I've looked at Studio One, but it is very similar to Cubase. I'm currently looking at FL Studio and Bitwig - both are substantially different than Cubase.

And thank you for reminding me of Greg from OrangeTreeSamples. As a keyboard player I cherish his Famous E Electric Piano and I’m anxiously waiting for his Rosewood Grand update. Such a wonderful developer. His latest Evolution Dry Relic is pretty sweet too.

Why am I still here, why am I even looking. I've hit my targets this year, got some extras, I'm good. Wasted time looking at upgrading TH3 to THU yesterday, but TH3 is fine. Instead of using what I've just purchased. Now I'm looking at Tokyo Dawn, I know I like these, I knw they are good. but I have these covered. by other plugs Itchy time of year and buying doesn't scratch for long.

I’m an avid Bitwig lover, now on 4.1, it’s a fun DAW, quite inspiring.

This may be my favorite of the gas giants. I love it when you add guitar to the mix! Well done, mate!

What's not to like? First class all the way and a real toe-tapper!

Brian, for future reference GROUP code 16% off and FORUM is 11% off... When adding to cart, if the "Groupbuyauto" code shows up, then the GROUP code will automatically work...likewise, if you add to cart and it only shows 10% off, then the FORUM code will make that 11%!

JRR Prices are up. I think Group is a bit cheaper than Forum $54.18 for Abyss. OK- I call witchcraft on Lars. I was in a chat with JRR support and they told me right when they put the sale up!

Love those vids by Cory Pelizzari. Dan Worrall is great too, especially on FabFilter. As for tutorials, Eli Krantzberg at Groove3 is pretty good.

BandLab acquires ReverbNation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation ation

Personally I'm delighted that there's nothing in here that I want. Another $91.79 to direct towards something I do want.
