Yes, the multis will unlock when the top tier is reached. They believe, I know. I just had to verify that a couple of us pushing to make 100% clear exactly WHAT gets unlocked was understood and agreed upon. Thank Mr Erik Norlander himself for putting his much more than 0.02 worth into the discussion (he and I were of the "they must be unlocked at that point" point of view). So in short yes you'll get the multis when this gets to the top tier. Thank you for your patience, sincerely. Yes indeed! I think that is attainable. I'll do what I can, we did send out a much more involved email with the timer, sharing links, and the new goal to unlock an extension so I think it will be clear even to people who don't frequent audio forums Yes, they will be unlocked.

It sketches me out that so many of these studios look like dust-free museums. It's like the entire spiritual foundation of music has been eradicated, and music is now created by super dull middle class types trying to recreate the ideas of the past...surrounded by dollar store fake plants and machine polished decorations. It's the like End Times are near.

Only 87 more updates until what we've all been waiting for.... version 2.9.100 😁

It appears that they are working on them -- but that progress is pretty slow. The most recent post on their FB page (from mid-April 2022) has these comments from P&M as replies to people asking about updates: Which sounds great! But here's their reply to a similar update inquiry on a post from October 2020: So the devs are still devving, evidently. But the timeframe for updates seems to be up in the air a bit.

#34 When someone told me this thread was funny.

I have both OTS Pear and the Ample ABU. I'd use the ABU almost exclusively these days, but to be fair it's a much newer library than Pear, and costs more. Pear is cool but has a lot of the room baked in. Pear is prolly easier to use, ABU needs a bit more user programming of articulations but sounds better.

I have some of those OrangeTreeSamples libs but prefer AmpleSound for sound and playability. It just goes to show how hard it is for US to tell YOU what would be best. Frankly, I have not compared bass libs for those two, but each time I compare guitars, there's always something wrong with OT (for example, the open D string on their 12-string has a funny buzz) while AmpleSound's is much easier to find acceptable. I don't remember details, but I found issues with OT's classical guitar as well. I've gotten to the point where I just start with AmpleSound and let OT lie there taking up space. BUT, you may find things differently! By all means I suggest trying the demo as recommended above.

I appreciate your kind words and general patience when I occasionally get sensitive to some of the reactions, even if I know deep down nothing in those reactions is personal toward me. And I do believe that someone is working on cloning Bapu, and I think Bapu means "balance" in the language of AtleastthatswhatIhopeitmeansian There was an email to customers that went out with a countdown, the 2,000 participant goal for extension, etc. It was not in-house. I believe the non-US version went out a bit late so those outside the States might have received it after my message was posted. Thanks! Right back at ya. I wish. My father has two psychology degrees (including one in corporate psychology) so I'm not going to go down that path since I feel analyzed enough sometimes He did some interesting work with regard to his time at "Ma Bell" (basically AT&T before it was split up, but that's a bit of a gloss-over of it) specifically having to do with Bell Labs and some of the amazing work of some amazing people and all that goes with that. So he could write the real report! Even I don't want to read it. In context of you replying to the above, I absolutely agree.

Yes, starting with SONAR X3. On 64bit Windows, 32 and 64bit DX plug-ins are registered in different locations. If fact all the 32bit software registry entries are kept separately under WOW6432Node. Both 32 and 64bit versions of old Cakewalk DAWs may be installed on the same machine. It has been that way since the introduction of 64bit SONAR. Both the software and registry entries are stored in different locations. What they will share are Cakewalk Content, the user directory and ProgramData. Folders are created for each product but the data in the folders are not 32/64bit specific. If this is a 32bit X-series version of SONAR, you should be using preferences to perform plug-in scanning operations. That said, when the scanner options are disabled it most often means the registry entry for the scanner is bad or missing. Running a full-personalization which overwrites the files in the user directory also attempts to restore the registry entry for the scanner. To perform a full-personalization depends on which version of SONAR is running for X3 and older hold down SHIFT+CTRL while opening the DAW for SONAR newer than X3 hold down the CTRL while opening the DAW This will present a dialog about personalization. Use the dialog to confirm running personalization. If this does not work, re-install the DAW. The fact that all VSTs are missing and the scanner entry may be missing means something happened to the registry. Possibly a registry cleaner was run and accidently removed the entries.

We have already put an extension out there. Once 2,000 participants are in the group buy, it will be extended through the end of of the month.

Yes its there, but without double clicking in the text area I don't think others can type in comments either. That's why I double click there. For all of the obvious, unnecessary stuff that's in there, the documentation doesn't tell people to double click (unless I missed it)!!! 😜 Maybe its different on different PCs? Maybe there's a way to bind "Open Take Lane Comments Box" to something else? [Nope; not that I saw]

71 per day / 3 per hour! Achievable. We're pumping out some communication which also encourages sharing and such so hopefully that helps.

Incredible arrangement. Dolly is such a treasure.

good stuff here!

There are also new 14 preset packs which are also available in the Analog Lab shop. These go for up to $14 each if you wanted to buy them without going to V9, Of course depending on the musical genres you want you are unlikely to want them all. Personally I was quite impressed with the previews of Piano Imaginarium which layers Piano V with Pigments. The videos above make the Augmented series more interesting to me now I can see the edit page and get some idea what the macro knobs are actually doing. All in all I think the upgrade is priced a bit too high particularly when you look at the cost of the full package so the jury is out here.

As I've stated, I am a HUGE Amplesound Fan. I prefer them over OTS. OTS is good, but not quite at the same level IMO. There's much more to the Amplesound instruments for me.

Yep. They must not be creating music in there. Where's the coffee cups? Ashtrays? Soda pop cans? Paper plates with half eaten Hot Pockets!!? Old PBJ samiches!!? Extra cables? Extra chairs? Extra Mic Stands? Extra everything!! Forgot to add: Sounds really good!! : )

Black Velvet, Fairfax 1 & 2, Rock, Studio, Progressive, and Jazz Sticks here. I intended to get Jazz Brushes but I acquired Superior Drummer 2 and 3. After using Toontrack, Addictive just never found its way into any end projects. I do highly recommend Addictive and Black Velvet and the Fairfax kits to someone who needs a great affordable drum program without the bells and whistles and very large learning curve of Toontrack.

Thank you very much @Peter - IK Multimedia

I bought Tantra 2 untested the other day. Just tried it out for the first time. It looks and sounds amazing here. It looks like it's designed and optimised primarily to look good on high DPI displays rather than old school HD displays. If you have a decent NVIDIA graphics card you can use NVIDIA DSR scaling to fake the appearance of a High DPI display. When I turned DSR scaling off and went back to 2560x1080 Tantra 2 looked pretty average. It's one of those plugins that the thumbnails and shrunken screenshots doesn't do justice to. Rob Papen's plugins are somewhat similar in that they look great at full size and lame in thumbnails, although the frame rate of the animations on Tantra 2 are super smooth where Rob Papen's are slow FPS by comparison.

Sorry I missed this in my multiquote. You won't have to share them thankfully.

Can I ******* quote you on that?

Expand the track. The Take Lanes button is at the bottom. I usually expand the track by dragging the bottom edge of the track down. Other use the expand/collapse button in the upper right corner of the track. Some people use keyboard shortcuts to expand the track.

Your system. You probably have a bunch of stuff running aside from Cakewalk that you don't even know about that's sapping your CPU cycles. Task Manager is your friend, don't have anything running that you don't need to have running when you're trying to play busy projects. Your system *should* be able to run your projects quite fine, I was doing similar stuff on a much lower powered machine for years, but I was also running a proper audio interface (which is the real answer here), and I ran it extremely lean. Nothing was running that didn't need to be running and I squeezed every last bit of juice out of that thing. I still needed to freeze off CPU heavy effects. I'll reiterate what everyone's said so far - the gear you have isn't made for professional audio. That's not to say it won't work, but you can expect a huge performance hit because of it. This will be compounded by a system not set up to run audio specifically. And you can mitigate the problem somewhat by finding the tracks that have the most CPU heavy effects on them and freezing those tracks, basically taking those effects offline, and freeing up CPU cycles. The real answer is a proper audio interface will help this problem substantially, and you can get a decent one for under $150.

Very nice song and mix Zargg.

i bought a set of dental tools for fine work requiring hard tools - so i've used the paddle (not sure the technical name) tool to squish the foam in my SM-58 windscreen, so i thought it might be similar for the SM-57 - but perhaps not.

Yes, to both!!!

Drum n Bass n Beatles! Glad I had my good headphones on. Very nice electronic additions all the way through, and that bass was pretty manic. Very cool.

nice!! and your thoughts in it compared to IKM SSSR and Fame?

In answer to the question: Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - Yeh Yeh

"The Wild Animals" https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/the-wild-animals this song became the title track, based on the strength of it as an opening number. the sequencing of the album became important after my decision to use this one as an opener, because of how intense this one is, and the 2nd song (michael's house) had to equal it in temperment. This song was probably the 5th or 6th song in order of writing... i wrote the drum track first, and immediately locked onto the main rhythm riff... it was an exercise in stripping down a more progressive riff, to it's most basic elements. again, this was an influence of direction directly from Queens of the Stone Age, which i had been listening to quite a lot at the time... i like the way they write things almost as if they are little symphonies, lots of parts, but never more than a couple at a time, like directing a choir pit full of punk rockers that have taste and timing. LOL the message in this one is simple: it's my public service announcement about the opoid crisis. the "wild animals" can be whatever you think they should be. The wild animals Just because they smile, and grease back their hair, Doesn’t mean there’s any kind of heart in there They’ll give you pellets of poison to put in your tea, They say there’s nothing phucking wrong with me Please, do not feed the wild animals Better left alone, the wild animals It’s a kick back, kick you, nothing you can really do, If you give em a chance, they’ll chase you into the Afterlife too! “lets book a trip to the riviera, sarah, bring the doctor along” “nobody will miss us back home”, When the sh!t goes wrong Please, do not feed the wild animals Better left alone, the wild animals It’s just the modern chemistry, the artistry of grabbing by the short hairs, They stay awake at night, and they count their money til the Morning light It’s a cautionary tale… that we all can relate It’s a taste of a real time devils delight At the cocktail party, or the local church family affair The poison pellets are playing truth or dare. Please, do not feed the wild animals Better left alone, the wild animals

Hi folks! From organizing your workspace, to hidden controls for your plugins - I have 5 handy (slightly random) Cakewalk tips for you in this video! WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/pkEfs-NVKII

Yes there would be good to make Start screen of project management system where posibility sort projects by Year, month, day. Also would be good to ability filter projects by many criteria and condition. For example view Projects with tempo < 120 and in april good filter option into start screen and ability to view all projects would be good. Also posibility to select multiple projects by filter and export in zip or rar file.
