good to see the XLN developers are keeping busy 😀

Best version ever, featuring JP Jones, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi and a bunch of other awesome players. I especially liked the singer from New Zealand. According to the YouTube description, this song dates back to 1929.

FWIW I think the biggest problem was "guilt by association." Yours looked similar to the (many) posts in the past where someone would come into the forum, complain vociferously about how Cakewalk was total crap, get their questions answered politely, and then would never come back or respond. The main difference, which should have been a clue, was you didn't say you were now going to try Reaper After enough of these, I think the community lost its patience with posts that fit that profile. In general the community here is helpful and patient, to a much greater extent than most forums. I hope you didn't think my comment was a dig, it was more of a general comment due to a thread in my own forum about what can be done about the complexity of today's music software, which seemed relevant to this thread. Finally, Markleford is right - if you can produce a recipe that documents a reproducible bug, Noel & Company are very good about doing a fix. Over the past 20 years or so of using Sonar/Cakewalk, every time I was able to submit a reproducible bug, it was fixed (and often sooner rather than later).

My wallet and free space on my hard drive isn't grateful to you.. but I am 🤣 Quite a nice plugin. I really like the IKM Tapes and I'd say this holds its own with them. What I wasn't expecting from Acustica was for it to be less of a CPU hit than the IK Tapes! Given the price wasn't far off Reelight Pro which is on sale now and I was considering, this wasn't too hard to pull the trigger on.

It is really a super-rare thing for anybody to become successful on YouTube. I would consider 10,000 subscribers to be success. 100,000 is beyond imagining. Rick B has almost 3 million. But these people are kind of chained to it. They are obliged to keep churning it out for their "fans." I think Mary Spender has been doing one every day lately. 😮 I have worked long and hard for the privilege of doing nothing if I want to. And I want to save time for myself for composing and other stuff. One a week sounds good to me. Let's see if I can even keep that pace. By the way, I did put up my videos in the Coffee House.

I was about to buy a moderately expensive sample library, not because I needed it but because it's just been awhile since I've had a new toy. But this morning, with mouse hovering over the Buy button, I abruptly changed my mind and decided to have my real piano tuned instead. Although it's not a new toy (I bought it back around 1984), it'll feel new because I stopped playing it 25 years ago after it was last moved. I've had no desire to play it because it sounds awful, having never been tuned after that move. But I remember that it used to sound quite nice and once was a joy to play. Now it's just a nice-looking piece of furniture.

(text form email announcement) The Unfinished 10th Anniversary Twenty Twelve Eight re-released soundsets now available to download for free! Note this link takes you to The Unfinished freebie page where there are 11 other free libraries offered! Back in 2012, I started my journey as The Unfinished. To kick off my 10th anniversary celebrations I have decided to make the eight soundsets I released that year available to download for free. All eight were removed from my site a little while ago in a clean-up operation but, were still available as part of either the Massive Bundle or the Absynth Bundle. Now, they are available to all and absolutely free! The soundsets are Absynth Geometron, Absynth Heliopolis, Absynth Metatron, Massive Ammunition, Massive Darkscore I, Massive Darkscore II, Massive Darkscore III and Massive Stratosphere. There are over 900 sounds in the collection. These are the soundsets that inspired my first forays into bespoke programming and also gave me the confidence to quit my job, move to London to live with my then girlfriend (now wife) and begin this whole mad adventure, so they all mean a great deal to me. Take care of them! To reflect their free release into the wild, the prices for both the Absynth and Massive Bundles has been reduced. If you have bought either bundle recently, get in touch and I will be happy to provide a partial refund reflecting this. Right, I'm off to create some wallpapers for the website, so you can enjoy some of your favourite The Unfinished artwork on your desktop. All the best, Matt

I thought that it was his script for when he does a mic test.

Why not give it a try. With AHK you are making it replicate what you would do if you were saving all of the patches in Unify manually. So you are telling it where to move the mouse and where to click, copy, paste etc etc. It takes a little bit of setup using Window Spy to work out where the mouse has to click, and also working out delay times between clicks etc. However, the great thing about Phase Plant is that all of the metadata that you need is not only visible on screen but can be clicked and copy/pasted. So, for example, the first patch in Hardwire (Analog Reese), you can click on its name and copy/paste the name and you can also double click on the macro names to copy/ paste those. So once you have the macros saved using the 0-based index method for the first patch (I usually set up a dummy patch) they will get replicated across all patches and the macro names can be copy/pasted by AHK from each patch as it steps through them. You could just try a simple script to start with copying only the patch names to each Unify patch. I also have Hardwire (Kilohearts gifted it to me) and Tremor which I bought cheaply from KVR as well as the freebie Grattis 2021. I have now made an AHK script for these PP expansions and have Unified Hardwire and Tremor (cannot share the Unified libraries though - see below). One of the things we discussed over on the PG forums was the need to ONLY share Unified Factory libraries (developer permitting). That's why, for example, I have Unified a number of expansions that I own for various synths but I won't share these as I would be giving away paid expansions for anyone to use! However, it's ok to share any AHK scripts to Unify expansion libraries, since whoever runs them must own the library or running the AHK script would be pointless. That hasn't happened though mostly because it then becomes a massive support headache for the script author to assist others to get the script running on their system. Especially if they aren't familiar with all of the ins and outs of running AHK with Unify. For example, all of my scripts make use of my Ultrawide monitor (3440 x 1440) so I use coordinates that would be off screen for most 1080p monitors. At the very least, anyone running them would want to change the coords of any windows used which would then alter the coords of where to click etc. You can change whether the coords are relative to the screen or active window but I tend to work with the screen mode.

of people making excuses "this is a rough mix" "I hate my voice" "I could do this better" "here it is, with faux pas and all" "still learning how to mix" rule one if you gonna go, go

Audio Damage released their catalog of legacy products (synths and effects) for free too https://www.audiodamage.com/pages/free-and-legacy Well worth checking out.

From 2/22 to 3/8 Up to 90% Off (and freebies) https://www.splashsound.org/index.html

Great sound bank!

Saw this video and noticed how the GForce OB-E demo presets sound just like it. But the Cherry Audio Eight Voice sounds nothing like it. It's like DCO-106 vs Softube Model 84 all over again. Pretty tempted to get this Gforce OB-E right now.

Let's back up for a sec. I was merely suggesting using the available tools to Unify this bank for my own personal use, since I own a license for it. The Unified banks are only publicly released for factory banks, as the "Unification process" entails capturing some plugin data. Anyone can "Unify" presets for plugins and preset banks that they own. But for personal use only. Info on the "Hardwire" bank available at Kilohearts (most of the synth sequence in the promo video is preset "Star Chaser"): https://kilohearts.com/products/hardwire

Great cover ! You sure captured the unmistakable JT picking style. He has gifted us for decades and you did a great tribute. Really enjoyed it .. mark

How many shares of Toontrack stock do you own?

Okay, here is THE MOSQUITO COAST. I did a lot of things to address the technical issues people had here with the DESPERATELY video. Let me know what you think. In general I'm still figuring out what it will be. I'm less focused on it being a performance where I don't stop talking. I don't think anybody but me cares about it. Using pictures allowed me to do a lot of editing on this. There's even a bit of Elysion at the end.

Oh indeed. Unfortunately, they don't supply the manuals, which look to be pretty essential for getting the most out of these. Good news, I found most of the manuals: http://audio-damage.manymanuals.com/

I think I just learned something new. I've never seen that before. I'll have to look for that.

we have just updated Valvola, the free tube emulation, to version 1.1.1. This update adds some features: Fixed VST3 issues with many DAWs The update is free for current owners of the plugin and can be downloaded from the user area on http://www.hornetplugins.com

Mud slide slim was the first album i had from james taylor memories are flooding back.. now cheers great cover

This is my favorite kind of cover...where you put your own stamp on it. I had never understood the lyrics until now. good job.

VST3 is available in the retail version.

GForce Software OB-E now PC with version 2. If owned, just log in to your account and download free. If not owned, it is now Windows compliant if that was keeping you from purchasing it. As an idiot, I bought it when it first came out not realizing it was mac only then with version 1.

Isn't it always the way? Folks really wanting a Grand Piano and Dave lets his sit idle for 30 years! Do a little piece and post it for us to have a listen too after you get it all tuned up and back in shape. What make and model is it?

So, that was strange. I monitored the notes, and sure enough, I had the fault. So, just playing around I checked other midi instructions, and tried out the octave up/down pad. That fixed the problem - all notes now work! I don't know how/what happened, but there you go. Anyway, thanks again Acaab - I'll keep Midi-Ox handy just in case.

I loved her, but she wasn't the easiest person to deal with. i will probably dance around that in future videos about DSS. She claims that Harvey Weinstein ruined her career... but one of her most memorable parts after her heyday was in PULP FICTION. I was very impressed with John Gielgud's memory about stuff that happened decades before. (I will do a video on him.) He said, "I remember everything up until the warrr... then it all becomes a blurrrrr." I think it's that way with all of us. I can remember all the lyrics to "Mr. Tambourine Man," but I forget what I had for breakfast. I think I have clarity about that. I'm doing it to do it. If climate change doesn't wipe out the world too soon, then maybe there will still be a YouTube twenty years after I'm gone who will listen to one of my stories and be amused by it--or it might even mean something to them. Doing these videos means my stories have the chance to live on after I do. And I've lived through times like New York City in the 70s that are kind of interesting. Making the music videos was torture. Cubase! Voicemeeter! OBS! Funky software! Arggh! Making these is a lot more fun. It's just me and the camera. Also, I have a thousand subs now, and am making progress on the 4000 hours. I'm now at 3100. So if I keep knocking these out, and invest a little time promoting them on social media, I'll get there. I don't know when, but I hope by sometime this summer. I didn't even want to be a YouTube partner in the old days, because I liked that you could just click on my videos and they would play. But now, YouTube puts ads there anyway. For me, it's the principle. Even if I only get five cents, I should get something. All my work shouldn't go to them.

Count your blessings - Steinberg would have charged for that. -A Cubase Fan

You've nailed this sound, always cool🎧

Gotta love The Unfinished!

I honestly can't say to be honest, but I doubt it'll make much difference if you're getting issues with a blank project just recording MIDI. Are these pure MIDI tracks, or MIDI tracks with a soft synth?

We own the licenses to them all. It was intentionally not included in the free set of released plugins when we first released Cbb. It may be released in the future.

yes, this genre of music (smooth jazz) is what an FM station here in Los Angeles called The Wave 94.7 would play from 1987 to 2010....you guys do your collaborations extremely well....and while this isn't the best material you guys have created it's very chill sounding and works as that type of music....cheers!!!! 🎼🎵🎹🔊

Grabbed Connector for $35 with this. With 5 DAWs I should be able to find a use for this.

https://www.steinberg.net/licensing/faq/ At this point Dorico 4 is the only thing using the new licence thing - but Cubase 12 will use it as well You can licence 3 computers at the same time and if you need to 'deactivate' a computer then the licence will become available to install on another machine. If you are talking about selling licences (?) well steinberg haven't worked out a system for this but they have promised a solution - they are making it up as they go along. If you have ANY other steinberg software then you are going to need to keep using the dongle for quite a while yet. What are you "holding off" buying ?

Loved it when those whispy strings came in. Enya-esque! Cool composition, ends too soon for me! cheers, -Tom
