Yeah, that’s why I hurried to jump in at 31 freebies 😇

Is there any way that IK could grant all Group Buy participants an NFR license for Syntronik 2 MAX? That would resolve everything!

Alan does mix with masters classes at his Parsonics studio. I spent two days with him in California at one of them right before Covid. The first day was on mixing and the second on recording a band. The band that came for us to record? Toad the Wet Sprocket! In truth I learned more with some online classes with other producers/mixers, but the time with him was worth every penny.

I'm sure Dorian would agree, that's his wife 😂😂😂😂

I can't. Reported to the team, urgently. It has been automated the whole time (including the page updates) so there's just a bit of a ghost in the machine. I'm guessing something related to the Promotions page weirdness from this morning but I've reported it so the ghost hunters can figure it out and open that last synth for y'all.

For current Syntronik 2 MAX users the multis were added into both the full sounds installer but also in the "Download Resources" area so I'd suggest looking there and if you don't find them there we'll have to wait for the team to be fully back in order to get the issue rectified. Thank you all for joining or at least keeping up the conversation about this group buy. It was because of you and people like you that this hit the top tier.

One of my favorite studio possessions is a signed copy of dark side of the moon that Alan signed for me while we were eating sushi at his dining room table. 😎🤟✨

"Ram is everything" ~Alan Parson* Years ago there was a contest by Musician's Friend to win a DAW. Alan Parson "delivered it" and had a discussion with the winner where he said the above quote.

They were kind of already dead really after the latest changes with them.. I'll sit everything PA out for a while until they get their act together again. If they lose enough sales/customers they'll reevaluate, or another smarter company will seize that space. There's nothing I really feel I need from them for now, so all good either way 🙂

There's a huge difference between saying "it would help us to know the system configuration, so we can get a lead on what needs to be fixed in Cakewalk" and saying "there's nothing in need to be fixed in Cakewalk, it's your system that's the problem (or plugins, etc)". The latter attitude is very discouraging. It shows people things won't get solved anyway, so why even bother? But if they're still here it means they're trying to help things to get better, and haven't given up yet.

I can neither sing nor play the guitar. But I really dig Alan Parsons....

I prefer the Busters but used hunters because one of those ghost hunter shows used AmpliTube for iPhone during one of their "hunts".

We just released a new FREE instrument plugin called Mel-Lofi. It features the perfectly imperfect sound of Mellotron with some extra fx layers. Perfect for Lo-Fi, Ambient, EDM, etc. And because you're subscribed to audiolatry, you are the first to download it. Thank you for staying with us. https://www.audiolatry.com/mel-lofi/

I know, I hate when that happens. I was finally able to get things going again using an older driver - Hooray. It is just a pain trying to troubleshoot these things as I would rather be playing this new piano for all of you ;^) Soon however, very soon.

I PRAY this is the last plugin I need...

That is explicitly written on IKM GB promo page: "Buy 1 Get 32 Free* when 3,000 registrations are reached And so on, up to our goal of 3,000 participants, giving you Syntronik 2 MAX with all 33 Synth titles for the price of 1!" and this: "That means you could get Syntronik 2 MAX with all 33 Syntronik Synths for the price of 1 single Synth!" https://www.ikmultimedia.com/syntronik2gb/ Lets hope, that IKM stands to their words.

Thanks - Do I have to add and download replacements to my old synths to get the new Syntronik 2 presets? - I think I read earlier that I would not need to re download these Edit - I've bitten the bullet and bought!

Rama dama ding dong...

So did Paul McCartney.... I'll get me coat...

It is the weekend. I would not expect anything until tomorrow.

It was expected. From the vouchers e-mail: "Your code can only be used once and it expires on May 28, 2022"

I would hit support

Mello-Fi Mel-Lofi Me-LLAMA

but i already got arturia one for free 😅

It would be great to see IK improve their upgrade options and actually look at what products you already own when upgrading instead of just one. They do miss the mark there, which is a shame.

I think you're mixing up the cable type ( coaxial ) with the most common type of coaxial cable which has BNC connectors. Coax cables with BNC connectors are typically used for digital clock signals, 10-Base-T networks, and analog video. Both the Lexicon and octa-capture have RCA S/PDIF connectors, which REQUIRE coaxial cables with RCA connectors to operate properly.

one can connect Spdif signal to the Coaxial input on the Roland.

Absolutely agree! In ALL software there's stuff that needs fixing, it's just the nature of software this complicated, and it's exacerbated by the millions of different combinations we have on the PC platform of hardware and third-party software. A lot of times it *is* some third-party software, or a hardware issue or even user error. But we shouldn't ever just assume that's the ONLY thing it could be - it's just a part of the puzzle. There's been so many bugs fixed by the devs here after they understood what else was influencing the behaviour, they they personally weren't seeing on their systems with their particular hardware and software configurations. Yes, it MAY BE the hardware, but the hardware might be actually fine... but it's showing up a problem in Cakewalk that needs fixing. Keeping an open mind for where the fault lies and being ready to give information to help each other narrow down the issue is the key here. Passing the buck helps absolutely nobody.

Anyone know where those Multis can be downloaded?

Looks like the final Promotions slot is working now.

Nobody is blaming system specs. We are asking for it to see if there's anyone else with this configuration that may have run into the same problem. As I said, what you're experiencing may well be some change in Cakewalk that's a bug that's being exposed by something in your specific system configuration, be it a certain hardware device, a system or driver update... anything. By going "lalalala not my system" it's like calling up a car dealership and saying "my car was working great yesterday, what's wrong with it? No I won't tell you anything about it, and I won't bring it in, but it was working fine for years so it must be your fault. Fix it now." It's a guessing game then. Why don't those other bits of software crash with the same specs? We don't know. We don't know what drivers they're using. We don't know what's changed (and something has obviously changed) that's causing the crashes. Some other app may have updated a driver (eg: low latency audio driver) that could be interfering with whatever audio interface you have (we don't know what it is). You might have had a disk error on a crucial Cakewalk file. Something in your registry may have been overwritten with bad data. What everyone was telling you is that if you're getting horrific crashes everywhere with the last version, then why isn't the bulk of the user base here on the forum reporting the same? Logic says that your particular combination of hardware and software is making this happen on your system for whatever reason. We're not holding back anything here, people are genuinely trying to help you help yourself by giving information. If it turns out to be Cakewalk then, sure, that's crappy news for the devs to find out there's a problem, but at the same time they now have a place to start looking to fix it for you, rather than you going "this crashes, you suck, but what about Cubase?" If you actually want help and the software to be fixed rather than just getting angry about it, take steps to make it happen. Nobody at Cakewalk wants their app to crash for people, that's one of the main reasons for things like this EA program. It's another big set of eyes on something to see if there's things that both the devs and beta team missed because it's going out to a wider range of hardware and software configurations. If you really want to fix it, help the devs help you get it fixed. But if this isn't good enough, roll back to the previous version. It's as simple as that.

Thus quoth the raven …

Well nobody *needs to* participate in the Early Access program at all, of course - it's optional for a good reason. But if people say they're having problems with new releases, this is a good way to get in early and test one before it goes public, and you know the Devs are actively here listening to reports and willing to help or look into it. And, if all else fails, you can always roll back.

In my experience, yes, MODO DRUM 1.5 SE picks up the MODO DRUM 1 kits. What we don't know (so far as I can tell) is if MODO DRUM 1.5 Full has something (such as a feature, etc.) that the combination of MODO DRUM 1 + MODO DRUM 1.5 SE doesn't have. From what I have seen, it is not safe to assume that just because we have all of the kits there aren't other differences.

Now that does sound nice. Problem is that (a) I already have too many piano VSTs, (b) I don't have enough time to play them as it is and (c) it won't sound that good when it's me at the business end. 😂 Andy

Now they got me, the Amek EQ was what I was waiting for, for ages :).

Disable indexing and search. Open task manager and see what's going when you get clicks and pops.

JMO: If you are in no rush (considering that you haven't had time to explore CS yet) and might upgrade to a newer Total Studio Max in the next year or two, you could set aside the money for the SYN2GB for the TS MAX Upgrade. But if you think the full set of 33 instruments might inspire you, its the best deal we've seen so far for Syntronik 2. As others pointed out, you don't have to install them all. Some of us got one instrument as a promo from a third-party vendor and another from a magazine promo. Each one installed separately. So you can treat all 33 as a personal monthly reward for a couple of years (if you decide to get them now)! If you go for it, I highly recommend at least choosing all of them as promos within 30 days. That should give you 180 days to try to find some space for the downloads. After that you can install them as needed. Also, Syntronik 2 will pick up your Classic Instrument Presets (Syntronik and Syntronik Deluxe) from the previously installed location. But, you might not want to uninstall the older Syntronik software itself. Some people have said some of the "Generation 1" presets sound different in Syntronik 2.

Tutorial # 17 shows how

I want to hear Simeon's demo...

In that case I would roll back to their stable release 1.7.12 >>> https://www.mntra.io/mndala That's what I'm running, and it seems to be quite stable. Mntra seem to have pulled the 1.8.0 download for now...

I grabbed Laboga Mr Hector for $24 What a bargain!

One of the problems with SampleTank, and SampleTank based products like Sytronik is that every time you install an update, or something new, it has to go through the TWO MONTH long "rebuilding database" process. It's VERY annoying!

Once Were Brothers is about The Band by Robbie Robertson. I learned a ton about them I never knew. Some I wish I didn't know. I always thought Robbie was an ahole. Turns out he wasn't the problem. There is an old one that is entertaining about rock in general called The Decline Of Western Civilization iirc. It has Gene Simmons and mamy others in it. The one about The Wrecking Crew is great too. It used to be free on youtube. Sorry no links. Only have access on my cell. As for The Who Im the same way. I don't get what people see in them. Flight 666 that Steve suggested absolutely blew my mind. I loved it.

Looking at the other thread you made, it's not clear if you've reported any crash reports to the Devs. Us users can't help you because you're unwilling to tell us anything about your problems or your system. If this crashing was as bad and as widespread as you're saying, the forum would be up in arms about it, which it's not, so it's clearly something that's either constrained to or exposed by your environment. It could well be a CbB bug that your environment is exposing. If you don't report it, unless someone at Bandlab is a clairvoyant, nobody will know if there's a problem at all, let alone trying to solve it. We *all* benefit from people reporting bugs that get fixed. These EA builds especially are here for us to give it a good test before the public release - this is the time to bring up problems, document them and report them.
