Free form June 3 NAMM celebration https://apogeedigital.com/soft-limit-plugin-find-out-first

For those that haven’t noticed, version 1.5.0 of Addictive Keys introduced a scalable GUI in November 2021. That was a big deal to me. Also Addictive Drums, Addictive Trigger and the effects DS-10 and RC-20 have all (quietly) been made scalable. Found in the upper-right corner menu under UI Scaling and Settings.

They are a Scandinavian company that consistently update their products with no discernable differences or release notes.

Color Toolbar v2.8.5 Released! Download: https://s1scripts.wixsite.com/colortoolbar/download Check out the animated gif on the homepage for a quick demo of all the coloring features: https://s1scripts.wixsite.com/colortoolbar Here's what's added in the latest release: New features added: Skip - Conform now skips coloring Track and Channel names that start with a "!". This is useful if you start with pre-colored templates or have custom colored sections using the Tint/Shade/Gradient tools and want to preserve their colors independent of a Conform. 2 Character Filter Prefix - In addition to single character (v.) filter prefixes followed by a "." or colon ":", Conform now supports 2 character (vm.) filter prefixes as well. This is useful if you want to separately color sections of a choir or orchestra and retain the ability to use free form descriptive track names that are not matched exactly to a track name. Fixed: Not coloring prefixes for tracks with no channels. Not coloring prefixes for tracks with no channels ie: Automation Tracks. Improvements made: The previous Slot Editor pop-up dialog box is now embedded within the Color Toolbar "Detached" panel. This **major workflow design change provides easier access **to everything you need to customize colors and move names. By merely selecting a current slot you now have full control over color adjustments and name/keyword moving in a more natural workflow.

about having vintage gear that I bought brand new....

HATE: Anything I can't play all the way through without making a few mistakes and/or playing a few bum notes LOVE:

I saw on FB that yesterday was the anniversary of the release of Deep Purple In Rock. In 1972, we were living in Frankfurt and my mother took me out of school for a week to go with her to Berlin, a sightseeing trip. My father's job in the Air Force was sensitive and he wasn't allowed to travel to the East Zone, so I was volunteered. Took the train, and I remember being stopped at the border, and East German and Soviet soldiers boarding and searching the train. I wonder what they were looking for? We stayed in a military-run hotel and spent the week seeing the sights, hence the name. Checkpoint Charlie and the wall, the Brandenburg Gate and all the other points of interest. While walking along the Kurfurstendamm, I spied a record store, and went in while Mom took a break at a coffee shop. Deep Purple was kind of a new band to me, and I found In Rock in the bins and thought the cover was cool. I bought it, I think for 12 DM? About 3 bucks. Man, that album blew me away. Listening to it in my room with the speakers next to my head (I already had ear damage, so, why not?) it was amazing to hear and feel. Sent me on a Deep Purple album-buying spree. One of my favorite bands ever. I still have it.

It "May" be!

Got my son hooked on the Elder Scroll series! He has played every version since. He got me Oblivion as a present and I played that till I had to stop. I get into those games and that's all I wanna do!!

You also have to blame the on the (d)evolving OS. I miss those days of Windows having only service packs.

This update mania! 😉 It seems that WE all are not of value anymore, because we're not updated! 😆 And the Ferrari of the 60ties, the stradivarius violin, they have no value anymore, because they are not updated! How crazy is this kind of view? Modern times! I have a lot of plugins and other software that have not been updated for years, and I can tell you that I have less problems with them than with "modern, updated" software! But YMMV!

I just fired up the forum member search and had a quick rifle through it. There's a member called Rick Forbes listed. Hasn't signed in since the one and only post listed to that member, but if you happen to know that his last name was Forbes, it might be worth firing off a quick PM as that would trigger a notification to his email address if he has that function activated.

It could just be me, I had spent several hours working with a Superior Drummer 3's, Rooms of Hansa, Marble room kit, which are quite lively and bright, prior to listening to your track. The result was the kit sounded a little boxy and flat to my furry ears. If you are happy then that is all that really matters. Your music your choices.

We all hate changing our workflow. I started on an Atari and KCS by Dr T. That was an all event list sequencer no piano roll. When my Atari died in about 2004 I was “forced “ to change my workflow to Cakewalk and the PVR. Sure at first it was slow and I didn’t understand nothing but now when I open the Event list in Cakewalk I’m 100% glad I don’t have to use it. All improvements and workflow enhancements are within the PVR not the outdated event list or the staff views. So your basically on your own if you choose not to update your workflow. I can actually fire up my old XP computer and run STeam Atari emulation and KCS still works but it would be sort of pointless. So that’s your best option. If you want to stay in the past it’s best to keep the Computers from that era going.

I must be old, I don't get this distressed/vintage look...at all!

That policy of having to download everything within 180 days is absolutely insane. I'd love to know the reason for it. If it's to reduce web traffic, I doubt it's effective because every customer now has to download everything just in case (I personally download everything for Mac and PC). Ironically, this policy might mean IK have more web traffic since people download everything instead of just what they need. If it's to make money, there has to be a better way to profit than charging your customers $10 to download something they own.

When the Control Bar is docked at the bottom, save it to a custom workspace.

Never let it be said that I'm not prepared to put my hand up and admit it when I'm wrong..... It is possible to make S1 look much worse. 😀

Remind me again... what is XLN Audio? 🤣

Was just reading this thread when this song came on my player (albeit the cover by Dream Theater from Change of Seasons, but...). 🙂

Kenny Gioia created 10 free-to-view videos for Groove 3 that explains how to use 10 VSTi instruments. https://www.groove3.com/tutorials/Free-VST-Instruments-Explained-Vol-1 Download links are provided to the virtual instruments.

The featured free virtual instruments are: Drum Pro Sitala MT Power Drumkit Steven Slate Drums 5.5 Free Ample Bass P Lite II Ample Guitar M Lite Piano One (Neo Piano) Tyrell N6 Tunefish 4 Alter Ego

Everyone who uses MIDI in any capacity owes a debt to Dave Smith.

For me this one is €39.54! Don't drive me crazy! 😄

For the longest time my main Windows 10 PC wouldn't update--the kind of thing that it takes like an hour or so and several reboots, only to find Windows saying (in essence) "It ain't gonna happen" and then claims to undo all the changes (which is never the way it was before the failed update). Then one time Windows figured out it was Virtual Box that was preventing the update. Since I removed Virtual Box, Windows 10 updates itself! When Windows 10 is no longer even minimally supported, when Windows 10 stops trying to update and I am forced to get a new PC that can handle Windows 11), I might consider trying Virtual Box on Windows 10. Never tried Doom, but I really loved Epic Pinball. 🙂 CyberGirl has been waiting for me to get back to her. 😜

I have the XLN Studio Grand, and it sounds pretty good. But would it kill them to provide a "performance" view with the piano, and maybe a virtual keyboard like many other virtual keyboard instruments include? There are edit panels galore, but this seems like such an obvious omission! I have rarely opened Addictive Keys since I got the Arturia Piano V. I am not a piano snob (or player) so I've never even looked at Pianoteq or any of the really high end virtual pianos... not looking for a solo piano.

yup. hence why i skipped this promotion i do like Syntronik and Sampletank, but i have no time to deal with this sort of download stuff and i have waay too many synths in my collection to want to deal with it. if i ever need to re-install my apps because i switched to a new DAW, i ain't going around digging through backup drives or buying download coupons. that is total bullshit.

@mefodia 1. Open Preferences (Keyboard Short Cut P) 2. Navigate to Keyboard shortcuts 3. Type trip in the Search bar un global bindings (see below) 4. This will show a list of note lengths in triplet that are not bound to anything specific. 5. Keys already bound will be shown in bold. 6. Find some unbound keyboard selection and bind. 5. Find some unbound keyboard selection and bind.

@mefodia Your question has bene move to the main forum which is a more appropriate place to ask such a question.

The only Black Sabbath track you'll ever see me posting (probably) ... Paranoid

"Spring Morning" https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/spring-morning

This is a song I actually wrote 7 years ago, but it could have easily been written today. The saddest thing about it is that absolutely nothing has changed in those years, in fact things have gotten worse and even more divided. Divided (We All Fall)

Hi Lee . . . another good one, yes, those lyrics really hit home . . . and lyrically could be written anywhere in the last 5 decades, same news reports over and over. It's a very thick mix, but you've got the message and those great vocals very clear throughout. Always like your stuff posted here !

I like their keys. I use them a lot. I hear good things about the drums, but dont have those. i have too many drums at moment.

Are you saying that the "arrogant" is implied?

No 7/4?

Sad one for sure. The newly released Prophet 10 (and Prophet 5) are outstanding. Dave Smith somewhat recently collaborated with Tom Oberheim to release the Sequential OB6. Shame to see him pass... when there's somewhat of a renaissance with analog synths.

Hi Mark - thanks for that, appreciated - if you get good Guitar IR's, I find they really make a difference - I purchased some really good ones from these people https://worshiptutorials.com/acoustic-guitar-impulse-responses/ however I am sure they have regular sales - i don't remember paying that amount. Nigel Hi Freddy - your time is always appreciated - thanks for those great comments Nigel Hi Douglas - ha ha about the Porta Studio - after this recording I went out and purchased a Porta Studio, which I think I only ever used a couple of times before I discovered the brave new world of computers!! I still have mine as well tucked away in a cupboard somewhere!!! Cheers Nigel

ASIO4ALL is garbage and CbB specifically recommends against it.

howdy ho noynekker! anthemic, yes, that was always the goal, to make the arrangment sort of soar... working with (what was new at the time) the strymon modeler, just opened up so many new tones to me, that it was easy to just take off with it... i also had just added a new digital delay, the Boss DD-200, and the combination of those two things there, are all you hear, really. everything printed in real time. made it easy to mix. i pushed the electrics with a pedalboard, but the tones are basically all direct. no amps used on the album.

The "click the marker and hit Delete while keeping the mouse button held down" is handy, and does what I want... but you could see why someone might use CW for decades and never run across that tidbit. We're used to trying various combinations of Shift, Alt, Ctrl and Left/Right clicking and double-clicking to see 'what can be done' with an object. And the modifiers come before the click, typically. Clicking and hitting some non-standard key mid-click is somewhat alien to the Windows Experience. Anyway, the request for a more intuitive (albeit slower) way to delete markers via the pop-up still stands. Even if I no longer need it... until I forget how to do the cool thing!
