What the hell were you doing, Larry? Probably notifying us about a dozen more deals. There's something ironic about that but I can't put my finger on it. As a movie publicist I have been scrupulously trained to never miss an opportunity. It's exactly like being a Navy Seal. There was once a guy I know who let a pigs-in-a-blanket tray pass him by at a party without snagging a single one. He was immediately drummed out of the union and shunned thereafter.

I respect your opinion, as they say different strokes for different folks. For anyone debating picking either up or one vs the other check out the fully functional trial versions that Softube has available. Best test is always trying something on your own material.

This is one reason I’m all setup to buy plugins from bed. One less step before glitches expire haha….

Best sale on these from my records was M84 -$79, M72-$43 (only once 12/21 but usually $79-$89), M82 -$59 So pretty good sale at $59 if you are after these…. freelancesoundlabs has NKS libraries for each of these.

I featured this earlier today during my livestream, they sound really nice. It was also fun to play with them inside of Unify with some of the other Originals (Intimate Strings, and Intimate Grand Piano). Check it out:

Larry and too late in the same sentence... Where's the world heading for?

Still $37 for Animation Station is a great deal at its current discounted price. So snap it up anyway if you are after it. Two weeks ago I bought it for $79 which is lowest I had seen since I started to track it. https://www.samplelogic.com/products/animation-station/

I really think it was a mistake. That's why I pounced on it immediately. I got out of bed to do it! ? Many members of this forum can remember how often this happens. Get it while you can!

Only another 22 minutes to go then ? And at least some of those need to be in 9/8 time. Sounds like a great project. Prog is seriously difficult - it's just so 'complex' and multi-layered - that's one reason why I love listening to it. Oh and don't forget to include the 'Genesis chord' (Fmaj/B flat). Good luck with it - can't wait to have a listen Andy

Will I have to wear white socks with black pants and shoes?

@John Maar you haven’t already been using Unify? Where have you been? By the way, Epic Choir is Unified and will be one of the subjects on today’s PluginGuru livestream.

Yes - it's both insightful, and quite funny! It would have been nice if they had also created a quick 10min video for an overview to go alongside it too though

No. They disabled the offer some days ago

Will do. My very first impression? Dang, this cost me a lot of money. No, not for the library, but now I feel the need to add Unify and the Originals Epic Strings, Epic Brass & Woodwinds and Intimate Strings libraries. I already have the Cimbalom and Mrs Mills Piano libraries. Should I take the red pill or the blue one? ? I use Gig Performer in the studio for patching together different libraries. I'm interested to see what Unify adds to the mix. Unify also supports Chromophone 3, Sektor and Pigments, so I'll be going down a rabbit hole for awhile.

I’m a bit concerned about the driver. Seems he went off road and is dodging an obstacle based on the animation heheh

This plugin is my dream! I wanted always to know how my music would sound in a Ferrari!!!

Maybe the next time you can play this and see if they notice.

https://mystonline.com/en/ Kinda like Cakewalk, you need a valid email to register, that's it. tl/dr: I snagged a Steam Humble Bundle collection several months back with every game Cyan Worlds has ever released (including the early young persons' games like Cosmic Osmo). I played through all of the MYST titles and Obduction. I enjoyed Obduction so much that I played right through it a second time. Their worldbuilding and art direction are so amazing.(Obduction, though, like MYST, again left me with the question of where all these people had slept) Anyway, I wasn't so sure about the Uru: Complete Chronicles part of the collection, I had read that it was the retooled remnants of an aborted attempt in 2003 to make an online multiplayer MYST game and that the production (and subsequent weak ROI) of it nearly caused Cyan to go broke. Not the most promising, but I wanted more Cyan-style entertainment. I started working my way through the Steam version, was liking it, and got curious about its commercial history/fate. Turns out that in 2010, Cyan took all of the content ever produced for the game, set up servers for free, and released a bunch of the underlying code (not the MYST franchise IP) under GNU GPL. And then I found out that the servers are still up and running. Hmm. So I created an account and hopped in. Didn't know what to expect although I was familiar with the gameplay. The first thing I noticed is that the graphics of the current online version are visibly better than the standalone version that Steam has. They've clearly done some good work on it. The next thing I noticed is that there didn't seem to be many players on the server with me at any given time, often down to single digits, and sometimes I'm the only one. Makes me wonder how long Cyan is going to bother with it, but the people who play it still have regular virtual events (including "live music," not sure how that works). The open source factor has so far resulted in some very nice-looking "Ages" and two, released a year ago, that genuinely rival the Cyan stuff as far as art/sound design and gameplay. One of them is done in a slightly different, more modern style than the usual MYST steampunk-y aesthetic, and it looks great. The other one includes two actual bedrooms AND bathrooms (with working toilets). You have control over whether your gameplay is going to be solo or cooperative, and at the start, and by default, it's solo. I've been playing it for a few days and have met a couple of people who are really helpful and fun to play the game with. Some of the puzzles are more fun with another player's help, but I also like being able to do it by myself at my own pace if I want, and that is well-accommodated: the areas where the puzzles and exploration take place are private to each player unless the player invites someone else to join them. You can start working them by yourself and then if you get stuck, go into the public areas and get someone more experienced to help, or just never go into the public areas at all (things are less frustrating if you get some guidance and orientation, but there are plenty of websites with hint guides and full walkthroughs). It can be social, but it doesn't have to be, which is how I prefer it. I'm an introvert/extrovert switch and I want to be able to flip that switch whichever way I feel like. Due to the nature of MYST gameplay (nothing to kill or be killed by) the userbase skews older than most online games, and that works for me too. Unlike MYST, you can sometimes have uncontrolled falls from lethal heights, but the game whisks you safely back to your private island lodge before you hit the deck, Each player sets up an avatar whose dress and appearance they can choose, and at least in my case, I think I was able to put together one with a fair resemblance (at least to what I looked like 15 years ago). The avatars look human without going into the uncanny valley. It's not a competitive game (although there are games-within-the-game that can be competitive), so there's no tactical advantage to having a super-duper computer system, the underlying code and graphics are 20 years old. A Core 2 Quad with 4G of RAM and comparable graphics unit should be able to run it in full resolution just fine, abut it still looks great. I've watched people play the latest shooters, and as far as graphics, they don't seem behind the technical curve at all. If you drop in, I'm Superabbit. I'm probably about 1/3 to 1/2 through the various puzzles and whatnots, so I'll at least be around long enough to finish those. I wish I'd heard about it earlier: a MYST title where you can ask other players for help in real time? And invite your friends? At my favorite price point?

Sounds excellent. Purchased. Downloading now.

Just for clarification; real engineers do not confuse these two. A channel is mono (or now two channels, ie: stereo) and as such only has one input... mono or stereo. A bus is an aggregator device which creates a 'summing' of multiple input signals. ?now you know. ?

I read that, but when I went by the ear-test, I thought the 80Ohm were the best for what I want to do. Using them at home for a bit, I am happy with my decision. At worst, I can get another pair.

Yes I agree totally. I have been going through a period of indecisiveness on these type of libraries because I seldom use them any more, yet when I need them they become important. The big difference I hear in these libraries that seems to differentiate quality is either a more individual sounding choir or a more collective sound. It's a really tough thing to make a choir library that has unity AND a sense that you are listening to the individuals in that choir. The better libraries pull that second one off very well. I have some of those female libraries like Shevannai and Mimi Page Light & Shadow and they are great libraries for a lot of what I do. I knew a vocalist who was even better at it. A more intimate mix works better for me using those kinds of libraries. Some of this might come down to mixing .vs creating music. If I'm only creating from scratch I am looking for a fast fit for the rough draft. It has to fit ok, but doesn't need to be the final outcome, whereas if those construction decisions have already been made, I am at liberty to get the perfect library to my mix, unless the tracks are frozen and I can't find the original ? While this library leans more in the collective direction , I think it has a decent amount of individuality in it too and makes a much better fit than a generic choir patch by a long shot.

i'd say, if anyone is needing a compressor, that g series SSL is a really nice plug.

Next up... a plugin that emulates a 1962 handheld transistor AM radio!

Yep except for non-resizable GUI,tied to ilok limitations and lack of mix control on the compressor but the overall sound is certainly covered.

In the magazine is a bit.ly Link to a webpage with the downloads.

Great write up, SK.

They just said to "L" with it!

A great reminder. For a free tape emulator, this thing is pretty decent and versatile. Definitely suitable for less subtle tape and really making the effect stand out.

I only buy things with Ilok…pass hahah

I think it will be a mistake if they don't. IK has been in to sharing lately with ToneNET. The competition i.e. Cortex and Kemper allow sharing albeit on their products.

Thanks Larry. I appreciate the comments. Meanwhile I made a couple more edits.

I went with Mind Control and Angelic Keys.

guys, I just renamed the cakewalk.exe file to cakewalk1.exe and it worked perfectly
