  4. Notes: The v. 3 plug-in collection referred to in the OP is not crippled in any way. Perpetual license keys are included in the installation. The demos of the current TB products are the ones that function with all features except for saving presets. Tone Boosters don't allow the user to change the install path during installation, instead by default they install everything to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2\. You must either move them to your usual VST2 location or add that path to your DAW's VST2 search paths. The link in the OP goes to a download page that has no link to manuals, which you will need in order to operate these feature-deep FX. Archives containing the manuals may be found down at the bottom of this page, in the help topic about where to find older plug-ins. The installer includes an option to install "Free" plug-ins, by which it means the ones that have always been free, which includes the excellent Broadcast Compressor and Omnisone, now compiled for 64 bit. Broadcast Compressor was my first single-plug-in mastering tool, and even though I had no idea what I was doing with it, it managed to let me get listenable results on some early mixes. It has some interesting psychoacoustic processing built in to it. Jeroen Breebart, the proprietor of Tone Boosters, is this genius academic type guy who publishes papers on psychoacoustics. And yes, if his stuff (including the v. 3 line that is now free) were available at Pluginboutique for twice the price and put on sale for 50% off every 6 months, we would be throwing "no brainer" around every time. 😄

  5. The first rock record album I ever purchased was at 5 years old. It was Led Zeppelin III. Granted, Kashmir isn't on that album, but Kashmir is one of my all-time favorite rock songs and the one Zeppelin song that my wife and kids love, so I wanted to do a cover of it. There's no way I could ever come close to the greatness of the original and I didn't feel like imitating John Bonham -- because, hey, no one could ever equal or do better than what he or any other member of Zeppelin did with this song, certainly not me -- so I really had fun with doing some very different things with it. I lost track of the click during the piano part, but hopefully you can look beyond that.

  6. In the current installer you can change the install location for VST2 versions by clicking on 'VST2 plugins' and then the 'Browse' button as shown in the image below. the installer will create a 'ToneBoosters' folder in the location you select or create. You can't change the location of the VST3, AAX or Standalone versions - although you can opt to not have them installed.. The VST3 versions will be installed at C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ToneBoosters The Standalone versions are installed at C:\Program Files\ToneBoosters

  7. Not free, but many Rigid Audio instruments for Kontakt come with thousands of unencrypted sample loops in ".wav" format that can be accessed by Cosmos or any sample manager, and used in CR8. I picked up Cinematrix with 1300 24-bit loops (3.2GB) at Audio Plugin Deals for $4.44 (base price) using some of my APD Rewards. Based on the Rigid Audio Synferno engine with all new kits and sounds. Full Kontakt required to run the instrument in Kontakt, but the samples are wide open. https://audioplugin.deals/cinematrix-by-rigid-audio/ https://audioplugin.deals/developer/rigid-audio/

  8. FWIW, I use a ton of different DAWs. My experience: There is no such thing as an intuitive DAW, any more than there is an intuitive electric guitar. Any DAW that can do complex musical operations will be complex. All software is not as buggy as people think it is, because often the definition of a bug is "something that happened the way I didn't expect it to happen," rather than an inherent program flaw. Reading a DAW's manual will keep you from ever using that DAW ...just dive in, and when you run into a problem, do a search on the manual. Learn what you need, and keep going. Extra credit: when you have some spare time, read random sections of the manual to find out the cool things you're missing. Just because you use complex software doesn't mean all complex software is the same. All DAWs have certain common operations you can trace back to Cubase and Notator, and not straying too far from the paradigm makes life easier for users. But a DAW isn't going to have the same paradigm as, say, Photoshop. Some DAWs have unique features that will make a user gravitate toward a particular DAW. The limiting factor on the music made in most DAWs is the musician

  12. the deals forum is not the best place for this type of content, though that is where you have the most recognition because of your reviews and deal posts. The coffee house would be good, but you would also get some subscribers by posting your music in the song forum too. In your signature you could include links to this content. You have made some great music and you should be posting in the song forum, this will get your other videos more views, but I'm not a publicist.

  13. I can hear the fingers attacking the bass strings. The bass is so very well articulated and recorded. Well done there. Timing seems impeccable throughout the piece, great chops. Perhaps the drums could be a bit more present in the mix? That's about the only maybe crit I could offer. This is pretty stellar. cheers, -Tom

  18. I've experienced the same issue with CR8. I have an open support ticket with Waves and have communicated it appears to be a VST3 issue where they are aware of. Waves Support has been very responsive to the issue and once I get resolution I will let you and the forum know. There also appears to be an issue with Output Arcade as well. Identical to the CR8 issue. Output sent me a fix, but it did not correct the issue. Waiting on the next line of instructions from the Output Team and will keep the forum informed as well.

  19. I don't know where that Comic Sans on steroids came from, but it's odd that it would fallback to something like that. Normally I would delete cookies and web cache, but as this affects two different browsers it probably won't help, unless there's a shared Chromium resource somewhere on disk. The font defined in the CSS is Source Sans Pro, but being a Google font they're usually automatically available from Google's online font cache. It should fallback to Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif - not this thing, whatever it is. I would still probably try at least deleting the browser cache and see if that helps. Next go to "C:\Windows\Fonts\" and see if Source Sans Pro is there. If not, install: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Sans+Pro If yes; close Chrome/Edge, delete the font, and reinstall. If that does nothing, run down Windows' own font cache service and delete the cache: Win-R, type in powershell, ctrl-shift-enter (to run as admin), then run down the service and delete cache: set-service -name fontcache -status stopped rm -r "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache\*","C:\Windows\System32\fntcache.dat" set-service -name fontcache -status running Or install Firefox.

  20. That is my plan. I believe that stories about celebrities will bring people to my channel. But then, once some people are interested in my style of storytelling, then they may be interested in me telling showbiz stories about people they haven't heard of As long as the stories are fun. We'll find out. 😄 I currently have 998 subscribers, so I think I'm going to pass 1000 subscribers today. But I still expect it will be a few months for me to get to 4000 hours. Seeing as how my big dream was to get to 4000 by December, that's pretty good!

  23. I'm not getting anywhere as a YouTuber. Sure, I'll have 1000 subscribers by March or April (currently 953) , but you need 4000 yearly hours and I only have 3000 hours. And even if I had 4000 hours, it might make me a YouTube partner, but I'd still be nowhere. The problem is that I spend weeks making videos. So I'm switching to something I can do effortlessly so I can do more of them. So yes, it's not music software, but maybe you will find my behind-the-scenes showbiz stories interesting. I'll also be talking about movie marketing, which may be helpful to some musicians trying to figure out how to promote themselves. Let me know Larry, if it's out of line for me to put future ones here. But I feel like everybody here is a friend and they might be willing to follow me even into non-musical activities.

  26. First, I think the Rolling Stone cover was their own shoot, so... my bad. I better post that on my video. 😄 You ask a lot of questions. The involvement of Orion during the shoot was nil. I am still good friends with Nina Baron, who was at Orion at that time, but I don't remember her or her boss Fred Skidmore ever visiting the set once. I don't think they saw this as a big film. I don't think many people working on the film did either. There will be more videos and you'll understand. But this was a movie where somebody got conked on the head and got amnesia. One major member of the production team once said to me that the film had a plot "too ridiculous to be filmed." My PR firm handled the release and they trusted me and gave me free rein. I can't think of anything they told me to do or told me not to do. Fred and Nina were super supportive. And afterwards, when I closed my company, they gave me the unit publicist job on F/X, which was my second job as an on-set publicist. They were great. Fred just didn't think it would do well because A) he didn't think Madonna's fame would last and B) HONEYSUCKLE ROSE with Willie Nelson was not successful. It's too easy in retrospect to look at what he thought because nobody thought it would do as well as it did. But I believed because I was around her so much and knew all the things she had planned. STRANGER THAN PARADISE came out around the same time as this was shooting. It's been a long time, so I don't remember what other projects I was on, but I know I did ERENDIRA around that time., which was the first foreign film Miramax ever released. That was a big job. My company was just me and one other person working out of my apartment, so I didn't need a lot of clients. The focus of the channel is my entire career, so we're talking the 70s all the way until I turned in my last pressbook, Woody Allen's RIFKIN'S FESTIVAL, in May of 2020. It really depends on how interested people are. I definitely want to talk about the movie I wrote and directed with the late Adrienne Shelly in 2003, because that starred a rubber frog named Tiger. And yeah, New York City in the late 70s and early 80s was a very interesting time, and I became friends with a lot of people like Kathy Bigelow who became famous later. I worked with Redford on his film THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR so he brought me in now and then on Sundance Institute matters. Eventually he asked me to be the Publicity Consultant for the Institute. I lasted a year before I was deservedly fired, because I was so bad at that job. A learning experience. My publicity firm, Magic Lantern, took a lot of films to Sundance so I will talk about this, but also other festivals like Cannes, Toronto, Venice, and others. And yeah, if I don't get sick and tired of doing this and quit (very likely) then it will show the many ways that marketing specialty films changed from my start in NYC in 1976 and when I closed Magic Lantern in 2003. I do have opinions about what came after that, so who knows. I mainly did publicity writing from 2004 to 2020, so that's the only way I kept my hand in. Now I'm just happy to be out of it. I am pursuing music which was the thing I always loved and kept for myself. I never wanted to make money out of it, because making money out of my love for movies was really painful.

  31. Any expansion packs made for Dimension Pro should work in Dimension Pro (duh) but newer installers look for Rapture Pro first and install everything in the Rapture Pro folders and not the Dimension Pro folders. If you want to abandon Rapture Pro, I believe the fastest way to get everything setup for Dimension Pro is Uninstall Rapture Pro Remove registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Rapture Pro Delete any leftover bits of C:\Cakewalk Content\Rapture Pro C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Sample Data Reinstall any 3rd party Dimension Pro packs. With Rapture Pro is gone, the installers should use legacy folders. Disclaimer, I have never attempted to revert to the legacy synths, and everything above is my best guess of what it will take to get the new installers to work with the legacy synths. I have a very good understanding of how all the Cakewalk synths install but there are certain combinations that I have never tested. Worst case, if it all goes south, might have to reinstall of the synths. This is pretty easy albeit time consuming.

  36. People here are helping me in a way that only people here could ever help me. It is so appreciated. I wish I read this before I shot the next video. Oh well, people seem to like it. YouTube is really all about Search. Somebody wants to find out about a certain kind of software. They search and discover Simeon. And then they hear him play and his passion for what he does... and they are hooked on Simeon. They want to watch all his videos. The celebrities in my videos are searchable. I've been told there are a few people out there who are fans of Madonna. It will just keep adding up. I did Louise Brooks today (not a star that everybody knows, but a beautiful story) but next week I am thinking about "The Mosquito Coast" so that will be Harrison Ford and River Phoenix and Helen Mirren. On and on. I've encountered a lot of people over more than 40 years as a publicist. So many stories that I'll have to break it up. I will eventually do another 3 or 4 videos on "Desperately Seeking Susan," but I didn't want to do them all in a row, so that people think this is a DSS Channel. And I'll seed these things in social media eventually. The first goal is to get five or six of them up as soon as I can. If people discover one video, I want to have some other things around for them to try. Hopefully with not too many reflections on my glasses! You really have to be extraordinary to make it on YouTube. I don't have dreams like that, but what I was doing was not working at all. It would be nice if it would give off enough $$ to pay for my expenses in making them. And I'll still put up videos of my own music because I enjoy it, and I'll do the occasional music software video.

  39. Just a quick Thank You. My studio (Pie Man Sound) briefly switched from Sonar to Protools when Gibson stopped support, but I've been on Cakewalk by Bandlab since you "rebirthed" it. More than 1000 projects later, I've never lost a track, and aside from a few blips, the stability and functionality has been fantastic for both full band tracking on a console, and for one-person sessions where the musician is also the engineer. And most remarkably, service improved when the software became free. Whatever you are doing, it is very much appreciated - all day, every day. Thanks!
