He sold to Soundwide, not BandLab.

Many libraries offer Beat for free via overdrive. But if you can't get it for free (via your local library's subscription) then this might be a great deal. https://downloadlibrary.overdrive.com/library/magazines/media/9530540

More than likely..... (already) Installed!

I wonder if he gets paid $29.99 per board meeting?

For the rest of the one (or possibly two) fingered brigade - with limited keyboard chops (self included) - you might find this homespun technique of mine useful. In order to build up song chord tracks, I find building up chord patterns in Scaler a useful way to do it - either select from the pre-set patterns or come up with your own. You have seven patterns to work with in a grid and eight chords per pattern. As soon as you start using multiple patterns, Scaler will assign a key switch (starting at C1) to toggle between them - so you can end up with seven patterns switchable using keys C1 and B1. Make sure you only select and bind Pattern 1 in order to generate the key switches. The chords you assign on the grid are triggered by binding the grid to the keyboard and I have mine set to trigger each chord in sequence from notes C2 to C3. With a bit of planning, you can easily fit in all the chords you need to complete a song, but remembering which key switch and which trigger to press when, in which order and for how long can get a bit tricky. What I do - based on my song structure - is to write a chord map in Excel to help me play the chord track and record it into Cakewalk in real time - here's an extract of one of mine: So on the above extract, Pattern 1 C1 or Pattern 2 D1 etc denotes the key switch, the colour-coded Bar Count represents the duration of chord (i.e. do you hold it for one, beat, two beats or four) and the Trigger Note (C2, D2, E2 etc) denotes the key you press on the keyboard to trigger the chord and the chord being played is written underneath for reference only. Top tip - hold the key down for the full duration of the chord - don't use the sustain pedal or the results can go haywire (especially if you quantize the recorded track). Now I'm not trying to re-invent musical notation here (although my sight reading is terrible), but I find the above kind of works for me. Using the map above, I can play the trigger notes and key switches to generate and record a chord track in real time against - for example - a piano VST (provided you have set up the routing correctly in Cakewalk) without having to worry about multiple takes and getting all the finger positions right and hitting smooth transitions etc. I am aware that I can set the timings in Scaler and select specific patterns to be played back by Scaler and capture the resultant midi, however this sounds very robotic to me, the velocity is a flat line and and even after 'humanising', it doesn't really ever sound right to me (that might just be my poor execution and lack of Scaler chops though). Of course, I could just put the hours in to become a better keyboard player and actually learn how to play my own stuff - but where's the fun in that? ? Once the chord track is generated I can then use it with a virtual session pianist like EzKeys to create piano accompaniments in any style I choose, based on simple arpeggios or even the various midi packs (depending which ones you own) to create backing piano tracks I could only ever dream of being able to play. Anyway I thought I would share this workflow in case it's of help or interest to anyone else - the Excel file (other spreadsheets are available) is pretty simple to set up as you can see and I just set it out to follow the entire song structure. Hope it's useful Andy

I think it's time to make an implementation of this request. Yes there are some plugins but thanks. To me working with the Linked Clips is the best way for now. But it is just a workaround. We need a flexible built-in MIDI routing feature in the Cakewalk.

You are correct: And there are many others (just a few examples):

People on Reddit really slammed my video but I got a really good quote from a guy: “If you take a shit in the Metaverse, it will turn up in your pants.” Weird-Breakfast-7259, Reddit I plan to use this wonderful quote in my third video: "Why You Can't Live in the Metaverse."

I'm basically running a super computer. I got the latest I9 last year with all sorts of bells and whistles. I don't really notice heavy CPU usage from any plugin.

Just out, this vid by the infamous Woody Piano Shack on Hive 2 and Howard Scarr patches in particular:

The Smiths - Asleep

I think I found the problem. The first time I opened the Mouse Wheel Zoom Options, X = 1.0 and Y=1.5 (I think). I played with those numbers a bit trying to get things to work. They've both been set to 1.0. I set them to 2.0 and things appear to work as expected and as described in the manual. If you set them to 1.0 or even 1.01, or something low, the zoom functionality starts acting weird. The simultaneous H/V zoom is weird, but I think I can live with it with that box checked. The settings shown in the attached image seem to be working. I was so pleased how intuitive CW was to me, until I started trying to zoom things. Yikes.

Fleer.h2pOk this one literaly took me 2 min (one mine for sound on,e ofr modulation) Repro 5 ....it has ya name lol And with voice panning !! (and clipping) Fleer 2.h2p By the way never heard a patch so in phase with its name like this one ahahahah

… and Falcon. Pretty amazing sound that one.

AI is the next frontier in audio plugins but for now it just feels like a buzz word.

-- OR -- You can buy Michael Brauer's unit for $8500! (I was unfamiliar with the style of compressor and Google came up with this!) https://reverb.com/item/64236080-michael-brauer-gates-sta-level-tube-compressor-limiter

It has been less than a year. I honeslty didn't expect any cross platform "integrations" yet as these are small development teams and actually doing any cross platform development work is going to take time. It took them what seemed like months just to get the revised store up and running. As for ground breaking. Sure PA didn't develop it, but the Kirchhoff EQ they bought, updated a little and released feels fairly ground breaking to me. And while Izotope does tend to be cutting edge, those products are also at the very top of the market. RX Advanced alone is on sale for $800 USD. You could by every single PA plugin (100 something) for that even without owning a single PA plugin to start with.

PM sent. I have been waiting for a flash sale on this one. I think Anthology only came down to $90 for black Friday.

BeatSkillz plugins are pretty much universally hated. They slapped some anamorphic GUIs on and thought of a less juvenile brand name and people are buying it. ?‍♂️

Shaperbox 3.21 released 3.2.1 - January 2, 2023 =================================== - New: Octave offset for LFO's MIDI Pitch mode. Useful for zooming in/out horizontally in the Oscilloscope Tool, and for creating AM/FM-type effects in Shapers. - Improved: Multiselection and exclusion in the Preset Library's Shaper filter. Click to show presets containing selected Shapers. Right-click (or use any modifier) to exclude Shapers. Drag to quickly select multiple Shapers. If you haven't checked out the new features in ShaperBox you should spare a moment and check out the video below. The way that you can easily enhance an existing drum track is really a game changer.

Was that before or after they saved Santa?

Only to have KISS come out with a disco song! ?

All plugins perpetually free. Going out in a blaze of glory.

Allow importing of WAV File Cue Markers

Here's a stupid question... I saw a post somewhere that said when you take a previously owned license the UVI still sends you the $100 voucher for sound libraries (or whatever). Can't find that thread at the moment and perhaps I took it out of context. I expect that not to be true (hence feeling stupid even asking for verification) but not finding info to support or deny that. other info: https://support.uvi.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000247617-Where-is-my-Falcon-Gift-Voucher-

I don't believe it's a Gates/Collins/Retro unit they modeled. The pic on their site looks like a Fairchild 670 clone (the Analogue Tube version I believe).

I dare to say that is virtually impossible in the current social (media) climate. Taking any position on any topic is 100% guaranteed to 'offend' someone who wishes to. Justified or not.

I still remember the requests added to the inside of their albums to join the KISS Army. Makes you wonder what they were fighting, ya? Cosmetic companies? ?

I'll be watching for US tour dates. We'll fly out to see him while we have the chance!

Thanks for putting in the time for a detailed response Steve - I very much appreciate it! I struggle with the same issues as you. I haven't tried his techniques yet, but this guy has me really excited to try Scaler on melodies I write on guitar. I just need to dedicate some time to learning Scaler and so far there always seems to be something else I'm drawn to do instead...

There's very nearly a disturbing acronym in there Please ensure nothing incriminates Strummy. ..

No matter how low the bar is set, Notes finds a way to sidle underneath it.

That's right Looooong standing feature request with several workarounds

That, once Waves join Soundwide

This sounds like General MIDI compared to Pigments.

"And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al"

You can call me Al.

I think you are onto something here. So, I was inspired to look up "Who coined the term "Metaverse?" Google came up with an article that included this as part of a chronology: Very much looking forward towards seeing your take(s) on "The Metaverse."

Great work - breakdown with the cello is really well done (I like how the BGVs occasionally drop to a whisper too - very cool). Andy

Thank you sincerely for this post! I reached out to UVI and I qualified. I was able to get Falcon and three expansions for about $117. This was a GREAT post! ?
