Whoo, it's finally there! I've been editing Wikipedia for years but had never created an original article. Quite the learning experience. I also went around to the various lists of audio software and company pages and updated them to link to this article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cakewalk_by_BandLab

Can you keep a secret? It's installed.

Interesting indeed, meaning they can now kill your cpu with only one knob? sporting a gui which spits out cpu cores as you crank the knob. 🙂

Is plugin boutique having an anniversary sale? Haven’t seen any announcements hahaha

You can't do this kind of thing in real time unless you're traveling with your laptop in a Delorian and going at least 88MPH...

I was wondering about this. It seems the dev would have to have a large look-ahead buffer to flip the data around.

Just gave it a 5 min spin (post purchase) with a live guitar and seems to be what I hoped, great for some ambient style textures. (GUI is resizable)

Toontrack has updated Superior Drummer to v3.2.8, featuring the following bug fixes: General: MIDI files dragged out from SD3 no longer contain a key signature, so no SysEx track should get created in Cubase (even with the "Auto Dissolve Format 0" Cubase option on). Controlling a knob or slider using MIDI Learn, it is now possible to set the value to exactly 25%, 50% and 75% instead of just very close to those values. Alternate Hits on stacked instruments made the instrument become muted after saving and loading a project. In projects with this issue (saved with version 3.2.5-3.2.7), the Alternate Hits option needs to be manually disabled on the affected stacked instrument, or the stack should be recreated. Cancelling the saving/naming of a new MIDI Learn preset would cause a crash. Fixed a potential crash involving changing certain mic parameters after having replaced an instrument. Song Track: MIDI dragged from the song track did not include any time signature changes. Dragging an external MIDI file to an empty song track did not change the main tempo of the song track. There were cases when dragging an external MIDI file to the track did not trigger a dialog about importing tempo or time signature when it should have (when the tempos or time signatures differed in certain ways). "Import Time Signatures from MIDI File" did not update the main time signature display. Pasting or removing sections in the time signature editor did not update the main time signature display. Going to Edit Tempo or Edit Time Signatures with minimized song tracks would only properly unminimize the current song track, so closing that editor and switching to another track would show that track in a bad state. Edit Play Style: Changing Amount and then deselecting the song block could cause a crash. It was possible to open the instrument selection menu even though it is not visible in Edit Play Style. Grid Editor: Pinch zooming now works in the grid editor (using a trackpad on Mac). Tooltips for the nudge buttons were flipped right/left. Song Creator: Changing libraries or changing scale no longer removes MIDI from the MIDI drop zone. Shutting down SD3 while Song Creator was searching for results would cause a crash. Saving a song structure from the current track would change the name of the track to the name of the structure (starting with "New Structure"), though it would not show up in the GUI at once. Drums Tab: Library names in the instrument right-click menu were often inadvertently shown in capitals. Grooves Tab: Dragging a Groove Part onto a song block did not merge the instrument into the block but would replace the entire block – bug introduced in version 3.2.7. Selecting a groove part, changing libraries and then dragging the groove part no longer causes a crash. In Tap2Find, it was possible to open the instrument selection menu even though it is not visible there. Mixer Tab: The Valve Distortion Box effect would sometimes sound too distorted for a while after it was added or a preset was loaded. Bleed mute buttons in the mixer were never shown as active after loading a project/preset or changing the GUI scale. It did not work to load only selected mixer channels from a Drums and Mixer Preset (by using "Select Parts..." in the preset menu). Loading only selected mixer channels from a preset now properly clears the solo state on those channels. The Clear Mute and Clear Solo buttons in the mixer were also not updated. Tracker Tab: Fixed a crash that could happen when loading a project where the tracker audio is missing. Standalone: The standalone can now use ASIO devices with a buffer size larger than 2048 samples. https://www.toontrack.com/product/superior-drummer-3/

I grabbed Audiority Polaris for $10 https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/3441 Didn't even bother to demo it.

This is another good one .. $10 down from $80 https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/5-Sampler/4345-Palindrome Palindrome is a granular morph plotting sampler geared toward experimental sound design.

Yes, that's better. That helps. Thank you!

How ‘bout this one?

Audio Deluxe has been added to the site now too

I have a pressing urge to use the phrase "another pile of steaming detritus" but I can't shoehorn it into too non-offensive a sentence. Pile emitting noxious, injurious steam.

Anyone else get a heavy Steely Dan vibe from this? Maybe it's your vocal, which I quite liked! I listened on headphones and loved the separation and panning, very very well thought out. And the tune is a boppy one for sure, toes were tapping. Mixwise, what is on your master bus? Do you have a character compressor of some kind affecting the entire mix? If so, a personal choice of mine (not that you should care about that!) would be to dial it back down a hair. I know from your other songs that you often bring out the grit! And it sounds good for sure. I was listening to the hi hat or cymbal, with the little syncopated rhythm it has, and when hi hats get gritty that could be a hair much on the old beef compressor. YMMV big time. Loved the tune, as with many of yours now it lives in my head. cheers, -Tom

After a few months of sifting through all the IKMultimedia Plugins acquired in the amazing 25th Anniversary Sale I finally used a bunch to create this cover of one of my favorite Beatles songs. I tried to stick to their version as much as possible and use the original amp and Guitar plugin simulations as well. The real acid test was mastering it all with The Lurssen Mastering Console, which passed with flying colors. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers! Mark

We're excited to announce our latest release, Evolution Django Jazz. The sample library was recorded using a replica of Django Reinhardt's own Selmer 503 acoustic guitar. The guitar was built by a master luthier to the exact specifications of the original instrument, including details like the zero fret and unique four brace construction, all of which play a role in recreating Django's unmistakable, legendary tone. As part of our Evolution series, the sample library is outfitted with a built-in effects suite, flexible articulation mapping system, and a strumming pattern editor. If you've used any other Evolution libraries, you'll already be familiar with the interface and workflow. Evolution Django Jazz is normally $179 USD, but until February 15th you can pick up your copy at an introductory discount of $139. Use the link below to watch the walkthrough video and listen to audio demos. https://www.orangetreesamples.com/products/evolution-django-jazz

This is a great freebie. I highly recommend it.

Actually, since you mention it, I used the library for the acoustic guitar strumming that's panned toward the right side in this demo for Evolution Vintage Gent: https://www.orangetreesamples.com/audio/Gnashville.mp3

But they DID give impOSCar owners a cheaper upgrade path to impOSCar2. Hoping this happens with MiniMonsta, if indeed this is in the works. Just speculating...

And I got 91 slices back. 🙂

Upgrade to acoustic bundle was $100, and I had 9% in Orange Slices.

Finally! Been waiting for this baby.

Every time I read your post I hear the words you said and see this face 🤣 Kenny

Yoko Ono just announced that if Joe Rogan doesn’t get removed from Spotify, she going to start ADDING her music to the site! 😲

This is great. Maybe this http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Introduction.30.html could use a little rewrite.

My reaction was exaggerated no matter what so I recognize it and feel sorry about it.

I'd like to apologize to Music Software Deals. Had no idea there is a serious company behind it. Should have looked more in details at the project; the silly crawling thing is what made me react, it's my mistake and I ask apologies for all my behavior. I hope my sincere apologies are accepted and wish you good luck with this project.

I'd like to add a synth connect/disconnect button into the track view within the instrument track. This will make it a lot easier to enable and disable synths without having to open up the synth rack view. Other DAWs have this ability and it's rather convenient. This will especially make it easier to work off of a large template file where most / all of the synths start in a disconnected state and then are enabled as needed. Also, for some reason Connect/disconnect is only in the synth rack when it's floating. When it's part of my right side multidock, the option isn't visible at all, which is doubly annoying. I had to look up the option in the manual, because I couldn't find it.
