If you are new to this section of the forum, I wanted to give you a heads up. It's getting close to Black Friday (BF). This year is shaping up to be at least decent so far. So there are many people posting deals on here at a pretty spiffy pace. What that results in is great deals are getting bumped to the back pages. I went and looked and a lot, I mean a lot of good deals are to be found on the 4 and 5 pages of this forum. And they were only posted two days ago!! So don't just look at the front page. Might wanna spend some time on those back pages too!! Happy BF Shopping!!

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to sharing another Joyful Journey with all of you TODAY. The Wheel Of Fun is going to get a workout for sure. Giveaways from Spitfire, Sonixinema, UVI, and Modartt. (I did receive NFR copies of the libraries reviewed and are not involved financially with any of the mentioned developers) Join me here:

Yup, just about covers November 2022, where are the rest?

First, let me say thanks for all you do in the forum. We all see Larry's tremendous contributions to this forum, and it's really obvious. But you're working behind the scenes to keep the forum healthy and focused and to minimize the dysfunction, and you do it purely out of your dedication and ethics without any financial benefit. I don't think most people are aware of that or fully appreciate it. So let me be perfectly clear, I am extremely grateful and appreciative to you. I'm also a huge fan of the Bandlab folks. Cakewalk remains my DAW of choice and I love this forum and both @cclarry and you are the significant reasons I love this place. Consequently, the view I expressed comes from that place and not a place of disrespect. So, to address your response. Absolutely, you're right. Developers who post in this forum are getting free advertising. That is purely factual. But the purpose of this sub forum is for Cakewalk users to learn about and discuss deals. Agreed? And, putting on my strategy cap (okay, I never actually take it off), this forum is designed for Cakewalk users, not for developers promoting their wares. Agreed? So if we agree -- and. Bamdlab's owners absolutely agree -- that the purpose of this forum and subforum is focused on the benefit of end users of Cakewalk, why create a rule that only inconveniences Cakewalk users? The rule doesn't stop developers from posting/promoting their businesses here. It's just an arbitrary rule that inconveniences users by making them spend more time trying to find information. A direct URL is useful to users, it gets them to the relevant info immediately. In this instance, Larry stepped in to be helpful to the community because the newly posted forum rule works against the convenience of users. It doesn't stop developers from advertising, it stops forum users from having a better user experience.

Installed!!! From the manual...🤣 Legal Statement "I, Björn Arlt, in full possession of all my mental powers, hereby declare that I never claimed nor will ever claim in the future that PECS does sound like or even close to the original PE-2000. PECS does not sound like the original PE-2000 – it cannot because it is a digital plug-in and thus not blessed with the fairy dust of good old analog hardware. And everybody knows that it is a well-known fact that digital machines do not sound warmish-analog but coldish-harsh. Having said that I hope that the inevitable shit storm might possibly get cancelled."

I love the forum, the mod is truly super nice and always reasonable. But I may or may not be shaking my head at the rule where devs and resellers can't post direct links to the relevant page. It's so arbitrary and non-user focused. But thanks to Larry for helping the original poster out. I think that was considerate to the seller and to the forum users. BTW, I'd love to get an honest comparison of Sonible's AI mixing and mastering plugins to their Izotope equivalents from someone who really knows mixing and has used both (and I'll just state this upfront, an honest comparison rules out influencers compensated by one of the developers).

No, probably not.

We've just added much requested feedback for being able to exclude specific manufacturers, categories and stores from your search results. If you click on the "More Options" link below your search results, you'll see the new functionality there (see screenshot) So now you can get really focused results by including/excluding: - Bundles - Upgrades - Educational versions - Presets/expansion packs - Sample packs - Specific stores - Specific manufacturers - Specific categories (like instruments, FX, compressors, reverbs etc.) Once you've setup your filters, you'll see the URL will update with the new filtering results - just save that URL and whenever you come back to it again it will still have the same filters.

https://www.moogmusic.com/products/minimoog-model-d https://www.perfectcircuit.com/moog-minimoog-model-d-2022.html A Timeless Recreation of the Most Important Synthesizer in History Built to last a lifetime, each new Minimoog Model D delivers the revered quality, undefinable feel, and authentic sound of a pristine vintage Moog. The coveted sound engine and audio signal path remain identical to the Model D that Bob Moog and his team engineered in the 1970s. This latest edition of the instrument also includes the series of popular functional modifications from the 2016 production run that expanded this storied synthesizer’s capabilities. These modifications include a dedicated analog LFO with triangle and square waveshapes, a premium Fatar keybed with velocity and after pressure available via top panel CV jacks with onboard trimpots, MIDI integration, improved pitch wheel calibration, and a mixer feedback modification which allows the Minimoog Model D to overdrive and scream with the turn of a knob. Plus, for the first time in its history, the Minimoog Model D now features a spring-loaded pitch wheel that returns to center upon release. This enhancement—a popular artist request—allows for improved playability and wild performance flourishes. This newest edition also includes updates to the MIDI functionality, allowing for improved modern studio integration. The 3-oscillator, monophonic, analog synthesizer is securely housed in a locally sourced Appalachian cherry cabinet with a legacy-inspired walnut stain and hand-finished aluminum chassis. Sounding as vibrant and deep as ever, its legendary low-pass ladder filter, powerful oscillators, and rich saturating mixer retain the exact component placement and through-hole design of a 1970s-era Minimoog Model D. The first production run of the latest Minimoog Model D reissue is now shipping to trusted Moog dealers and distributors within the US and internationally. It is available to pre-order at Perfect Circuit for $4,999 USD. Along with today’s instrument announcement, Moog has released several new high-quality accessories, clothing, and collectibles perfect for any Model D owner or aficionado.

That's sound advice. And one reason why I'd written off the bundle at $149 -- I'm definitely interested in Playbeat and Loopmix, which at JRRshop or LootAudio would be a shade over $80 together. For a little more, Riffer's been on my "maybe" list, but I feel I'm covered for what ChordJam offers, and I have (and use) the freebies already. It definitely helps to break any bundle down into individual titles and ask what each one is worth to you specifically. Sites like musicsoftwaredeals help tremendously to see what's historically a good deal/value for each plugin, and how likely the current opportunity is to come around again.

When I finish learning how to use Scaler, I might take a look at Insta Chord.

I have seen a question about editing Drum Maps as text (for convenience). And I have realized I have almost everything to create corresponding utility: https://www.azslow.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=92 How to use: Create Drum Map in Cakewalk, with desired Instruments/Ports/Channels/patches defined. So, create at least one key mapping for each distinct Port/Channel pair. Name mappings the way you can recognize in text form (which mapping is for which port/channel). Save this drum map as preset (to create .map file) Run the utility with map file as the only parameters, f.e. cakedm MyMap.map. That should create MyMap.txt file. Copy text file, so you know it is edited version (the file name will be new map name). Edit text file. From previously defined key mappings you will notice the format, "Name",InNote,OutNote,Channel(zero based),Port[,Shift,Scale]. Do not insert extra spaces in mapping lines (all lines not started with " are comments). So copy/paste existing line and change name, in and out notes. Run the utility to produce new map: cakedm MyMap.map MyNewMap.txt. Note you need to specify original map and edited text file. Restart Cakewalk so its see new map.

don't they test this stuff first?

Wes Montgomery - In Your Own Sweet Way

There are only a handful of musicians as universally loved and respected as Quincy Jones. I remember seeing Q in person, at a NAMM show many years ago. Other celebs had hurried past fans into their limos, but not Q. He took selfies with fans and autographed anything they stuck in front of him, smiling the whole time. Classy dude. Rashida Jones' Grammy-winning biography is on Netflix right now. It's worth checking out. His multiple brushes with death, often triggered by overwork, have made him philosophical about music and life in general. He would be such a cool guy to hang out with, I think.

But it is!

Public Service Announcement: Support The Man Who Does So Much to Support This Community In case anyone is thinking of buying this or anything else from Audio Plugin Deals, please consider using the link in Larry's signature file. It's an affiliate link and if you use it, Larry gets a commission. You pay the identical price to what you would otherwise pay through a direct link and if there's anyone worthy of getting that commission, it's Larry, IMO. He does amazing work in this forum. Seriously, most of us wouldn't be here if not for Larry. He has powered this forum for I don't know how long-- but it's been a very long time. And while a lot of people using affiliate links are influencers shilling for developers and retailers, if you know Larry, you know that he's the farthest thing from a shill. Hopefully this will be taken with humor, but I do get a kick out of Larry unfiltered doing rants on developers for BS and various shortcomings. Those aren't the posts of a person who is insincere. Larry is the real deal and has more than earned our support for everything he does. Regarding SOS reviews, I find them valuable and they have far more journalistic credibility and integrity than the vast majority of influencers, which are, in fact, little more than folks shilling for freebies and kickbacks from the developers of products they review "sponsor" their videos (AKA give them money for doing a review). Giving a product a truly honest, and especially a truly harsh review will destroy the gravy train, so it's extremely rare to see that. That should be a red flag. Now, as a marketing pro, I use influencers, but I think it's important for the public to realize that they are, in truth, highly influenced, very/most often commissioned sales people (AKA affiliate marketing agents) pretending to be unbiased like actual journalist reviewers. They're not and they don't follow standard journalistic practices. Now contrasting Larry again, Larry actually could be considered an influencer, because he has a great deal of influence over this entire community. If I started my own plugin or sample development firm, I would absolutely be giving Larry free product and asking him if he could post about giving his honest thoughts -- fully realizing that if my product doesn't hit the mark, Larry is likely going to be savage and not hold back and that is an exceptionally rare quality in an influencer. It's the reason why I am so appreciative of Corey Pellazari (a YouTube influencer who does reviews of sample libraries that has even gone as far as to warn people never to buy from one of the developers he reviewed' virtually no influencer would ever do that, because it stops the gravy train and makes other developers afraid to give him product and especially stops developers from throwing money at him for good reviews, a practice I won't engage in, but it's the norm). It's why I WISH Larry would start his own YouTube and/or Facebook channel. Larry's not just great at finding deals, he's brutally honest. And I remember many years ago -- maybe more than a decade ago -- when he was just savage on IK. And guess what, when Larry was gone from the forum, one of the people saying how much they appreciate him was Peter from IK, because Peter respects Larry's honesty. Anyhow, I just hope that my fellow forum members will support Larry, it doesn't cost you anything and, we're not a big community, so Larry isn't actually likely to make much money, but at least it gives him a little something back for spending so much time and energy making this community what it is. PSA over. Be good to each other.

But to be fair, after warning everyone I would be deleting the material eventually...and to copy the material if they wanted it, before it went away Anyway, the main reason I stopped by is that if anyone bought Max Your Mix!, there will be a free update coming out soon (around the end of November 2022). It includes new material about mixing with headphones, room simulation software, data compression and file exporting, how match levels in an album or collection of songs, and added information on mid-side processing, panning laws, and mix referencing/mix analysis tools (including in-depth information on the LUFS and LRA specifications). To get the free update, just use the same download code you used to download the original copy. Also, there may be an update to the Cakewalk tips book in the works for 2023. No guarantees, but stay tuned.
