$29 and I'm in like Flint!

That settles it, I have to get Polyscape Pro so I can say I'm more "Pro" than Fleer....

smart:comp has evolved The limits to what an audio compressor can do haven’t been reached yet. We took the next pioneering step. Want a sneak peak? Check out this video!

For anyone interested this deal is back again. No idea for how long though.

I love SampleLogic's products. As a key member of this forum would say - its "guud stuough." Their UI's are the most compact, confusing Kontakt UIs you will ever see, but once you get the hang of it, it is really cool.

Madness - The Prince

Now that’s one of the best reverbs around.

I've seen this one go on sale quite a few times and didn't quite see much of a need.. turns out I've been sleeping on it! This thing can be used to tweak the sound and fatten like they say, but you can actually get crazy creative with it and abuse it. For $12.46 and the fun I've had in one session and the track I've sketched out while messing with it as a result, it's a total no brainer 🙂 PSP once again, did not disappoint! This was also a handy video covering some more of the LFO and automation etc possibilities:

Thenatan Trax free for a week. Voucher: " TheNatanGift " at https://www.thenatan.store/p/oxoq/ Valid for 7 days from the 16th July I guess (when the video was posted, Sanjay Cs YT channel) Nice, comprehensive drum VST. They say Trap a lot but if you do anything that calls for more punchy, synthesised/electronic sounds then a nice collection, 50 kits.

Let's see what VirusTotal has to say about it. It's big so it may take awhile. -- edit -- I'm back. A handful of sites couldn't process the file, but the ones that did all came up clean...

This came out Octoberish last year, still on intro price, that's one long intro. I skipped it back then and I haven't changed my mind. He's supposed to be releasing more modules/amps in this series, but it seems to be taking a while, there didn't seem to be much buzz about this first one, and personally I never thought much of it. But I'll keep checking out any further releases as they come just in case. I Had/Have all the previous Thermionik modules, never really liked them either, and never used them. I do however use Recabinet 5 (no longer available I think) and True Iron quite a lot, excellent stuff.

Norway I got back from Sweden and Norway a couple of weeks ago with thousands of pictures and videos of fjords and villages and churches etc etc. I was going to jump in and make a music video from my Norway images, but I came down with Covid a day after I returned. Until a couple of days ago I felt like crap - coughing and nausea and fever, but the worst was a sore throat that discouraged eating and drinking. And yeah, I'm fully vaccinated but I think I got the newer variant that manages to get by the vaccine. Hope you're all doing okay. -Bjorn

I just installed Windows 7 (32 bit) last week to make an old piece of hardware gear work. Really takes me back 🙂

My favourite drawing package, that I still use regularly, is/was Micrografx Designer (and the rest of the Suite, including a 3d modeller). I purchased it sometime before 1991. I still haven't found a replacement that does as much, is as easy use, and is affordable. I used it in XP Mode under Windows 7 and then, when I just this year moved to Windows 10, thought I'd lost it forever. I actually went about setting up a nested virtual machine to run XP Mode inside Windows 7 inside VMware but at one point discovered that my problem was only the fact that Designer was 32 bit. Installing my Windows 7 as 32 bit in VMware solved everything and I can continue to use my beloved drawing software for more years to come. So old software doesn't have to die, if you're lucky...

vvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbb...

I'm surprised no one has yet thought to include a Zombies track in a zombie movie or TV series. It would be such a great gag, having the hero frantically running from a zombie horde accompanied by "Tell Her No". No, no, no, don't hurt me now...

No download required or minimal if I'd as I think it just unlocks advanced pa el.and extra presets ?

Should be tie your Queen Mother down, ya? 😁

If they keep playing eventually they will be zombies.

Hi Mark, I've long said that MIDI makes a lot possible, but not necessarily easy. MIDI controllers are the key to creating an expressive "performance". I do spend a lot of time with controllers, it's all about detail, detail, detail. Particularly important are note attacks and release, and, of course, choosing the best sample-set for the phrase in the first place. Paying attention to velocities. tempos and strong and weak beats is necessary to create a convincing MIDI performance. The more programming you do, the better it will sound. If something bothers your ear, fix it. Do not gloss over it. Fix and improve every little detail that isn't right. My library-of-choice is the Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestral Cube. It has about 764,000 24-bit samples and I doubt I will ever need or want any other library. It's fantastic. I use it with MIR, which is an incredible spatial convolution reverb that lets me place instruments where I want in the stereo field. There are a lot of libraries available now. It's more about one's skill as a composer/orchestrator/producer than it is what library you use. There are many good libraries now on the market. I haven't found a need to use Cakewalk's articulations as of yet. I've looked at them but cannot see how they'd save me any time based on how fast I work and how well-established my sequencing habits are. But who knows, perhaps in the future I may find a way to make use of them. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this movement. I know I am asking a lot of a person's time, but always hope that the listener finds that their time was well-spent. Jerry

I still have a license for the EMT-2445 for sale if anyone is interested...

Shaks! that's even less than what I have paid 😂

I think so Bapu

As the power of Artificial Intelligence increases, the intelligence of those using it decreases.

And now, back to the sequence with one of my favorite Psychedelic Furs songs. 🙂

Enough. There I've said it. I'm not going down this path unless 8dio gives me a no or looow cost reason to abandon their Kontakt line and free up that disk space. Sure it has some nice demos but so do a lot of other libraries that I've not invested in.

Purchased the upgrade. Thanks all who provided input.

Music: Jerry Goldsmith

my computer wouldn't install. said it had a trojan and deleted install file lol

Alice Cooper - Poison

The Future Sound of London - Dead Skin Cells

The Cure - The Same Deep Water As You

Pearl Jam - Deep

Here's a few that only require Unify that I have found to be very good! There are a lot more listed, but the easiest way to locate them is if you hover your mouse over the "Products" menu on the top bar of the web site (don't actually click on "Products"). A page will appear below (looks like Javascript magic) that lists all products by type. The Unify only products are listed in the first column. Yes, I know, they really need a better web developer with an eye for design! 😉 https://www.pluginguru.com/products/megamagic-guitars-for-unify/ https://www.pluginguru.com/products/modern-cinema-renegade/ https://www.pluginguru.com/products/unichill-v1/

The last months are depressing! The only good deals IMO are always for plugins that I already own! 😢 There were minimum 6 great deals like the one above, sometimes even for less than I had paid. This is good for my purse, but not for my soul! 😆

Cass McCombs - "I Followed The River South To What"

Ok. Have an album's worth! 😁

No idea how Alice Cooper's Poison follows the Cure's Friday I'm In Love, but I really like the song so who cares? 😆

The Golant Pistons - Friday On My Mind

I have them both, and enjoy them. From the usage standpoint with modelling, Arturia definitely has the advantage. But the Syntronik synths can sometimes sound more realistic. Maybe because they sampled real vintage synths? And the new samples and synth engine in Syn 2.0 are even better! But I won't be collecting any more sampled synths, that is for sure! The house is full! 😂

Till your RME is back, I don't think you can find a device with the same driver versatility and stability. Unfortunately reports about overheating of "middle range" RME units is not rare (as well as problems with power supply in top units). But there is almost no bad reports about Babyface and PCIe boards. I know you probably no longer trust the company, but on Windows all other drivers are worse. From my experience the device+driver in many (most?) situations is not the origin of the problem. Different devices and drivers have different "fault tolerance" and for audio (especially at low latency settings) the limit is rather low. If there is something "wrong" with surrounding equipment, the device is "stuck" and/or the driver crash/freeze/etc. It is important to check there is nothing wrong with the computer/OS, it is audio optimized in general and it is currently in audio (performance) mode. And that is apart from conspiracy theories arising after strange coincidences. For example at some moment I have noticed one of my interfaces goes crazy too often... then I have noticed I have periodic tiny "glitches" in mic recordings... then I have checked and fortunately have found the XLR cable to the mic is bad... after replacing the cable the interface was no longer glitching 😐
