I formed an instrumental band at 18 inspired by Jeff Beck's rock fusion music on albums like There and Back, Wired and Blow by Blow. Last night, before bed, I stumbled on a video of Jimmy Page inducting Jeff Beck into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and my wife and I watched it while I talked about how much I loved his playing and the musicians he played with (Jeff always surrounded himself with killer musicians and some of my favorite drummers, like Simon Philips and Vinnie Coliauta and more recently Tal Wilkenfield on bass). I realize the musical heroes of our youth are now quite old, but it's especially hard to see such greats like Jeff Beck pass. I'm going to miss him. RIP, Jeff Beck and thanks for all of the great music and passion that inspired so many of us.

Run the UVI Product Portal to update

How about the option of paying a one-time fee over and above the price of the software for lifetime updates... ... luckily, I never took my coat off. I'll see myself out.

I run a decent sized software company and I can tell you this whole thing is very complicated. I moved our company to subscription a number of years ago. It took years to accomplish, was very challenging, and I nearly ran out of cash. Let me tell you a $35,000 a month cash burn is NO FUN. We provide a mission-critical applications for business so it makes sense for our customers to be on subscription and to get constant updates - be that feature innovations or bug fixes. The subscription also includes access to our academy, training staff, and US-based 800 customer support. We work very hard to provide constant value and innovation, and not just sit on the product and take in the revenue. I struggle a bit with a subscription model that is "access only" - in other words, you are just paying to use the product and the product is never updated (ie Plugin Alliance for the most part). Over time, this is a very expensive proposition for the end user. I actually like WUP - because the products keep working if I don't WUP and I can choose to WUP when I see the value in it and I take comfort in the fact WUP is profitable for Waves and therefore they will continue to keep their products functioning through future tech changes. That said, if I ran a professional studio I would highly consider subscription models and just consider them as part of the cost of doing business - like an electric bill. I will also add that if you run a software company, subscription is THE model to shoot for. It creates a very consistent cash flow and when you go to sell your business it's usually valued on a multiple of the subscription revenue as opposed to a multiple of the EBITA (a truly unique situation for software companies); subscription is here to stay.

It is a nice article. On the other hand it is very partial, taking sides with the developers only! I am only working on Windows. I have plugins that are more than 10 years old and they still run without trouble (on W7/W10)! So why should I pay for Apple development? I agree that in such cases the customers (Apple lovers) should pay for it, but the problem is that usual bug fixes (very few) and the Apple compatibility is mixed. Concerning software there are other things to think about. If someone creates a product with obvious problems, then why should the customer pay for correction? Also the automotive industry had to do free upgrades if they tampered something.

I'll miss him. Saw him at fillmore east years ago with rod stewart as his front man. Still remember "ain't superstitious". Legendary.

Such an individualistic player. Fortunate to have got to see him play, many decades ago. This is a big favourite of mine: RIP.

Good idea! You could name it after some sort of rare metal or something...

One aspect of free updates is that it renews attention to a piece of software. So when there is a free update to Scaler, people on this site talk about how much they love Scaler. And this might lead some people who don't have Scaler to buy it. Marketing is an expense. How do you get people to find out about your product? There is a lot of attention when something first comes out, but then it drops off. So companies use freebies, and special sales to get attention. But I am a believer in supporting developers in any way we can.

Also updates for 8-Bit Synth, ICRAM Prepared Piano and Toy Suite

Yes, I saw it, and his very poignant message also. Very touching!

@cclarryI know, like me, you're a big fan of David Gilmour's playing. He shared this great photo of him and Jeff last night. You've probably already seen in, but I thought it was really nice.

THIS is Jeff Beck for me. Never muscling in there to cram zillions of notes into a track. Just tastefully playing to fit the track In 1992 he appeared on an excellent concept album by ROGER WATERS ( ex Pink Floyd ) called AMUSED TO DEATH ( Recording started in 1987 ). So sit back and listen to his guitar on the BALLAD OF BILL HUBBARD. You may cry .. about WW1. It sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it I will admit a tear in my eye listening to this ..

I only own a couple of things from them so don't go into the UVI Product Portal much, but that is one of the nicer installers I've seen in a long while. Very straightforward, clean and efficient. Nice job UVI!

He was an incredible guitar player with a sound all his own, a true legend.

this is very sad - he really was an incredible guitarist. Unlike most of us, he just seemed to get better and better as he aged.

Ozmium?

V COLLECTION 9 upgrade available at checkout too.

RIP. You brought me many many hours of enjoyment to my life. For that I will always be grateful. See you on the other side.

Works on v3 upgrade, knocks it done to $75

Wow, thanks for this. I bought that record but it never really hit me. This is a wonderful testimony.

And great to see them updating this freebie. Love that D-50 in there.

Well, there's a lot of takes on this. On one side, I'm not against charging for updates. I'm not even against WUP, it's a model that somehow makes sense. But the great problem is the price. Doesn't make a lot of sense paying expensive for something that it's more a framework upgrade - something that it's easily fixed and doesn't add nothing new to the plugins. I'm more ok on paying to something that add new features to a plugin - and making a plugin work well with current screen resolutions is not a feature to me..... And remember that WUP includes phone support. I guess that 99% of us never used this, right? Honestly, I think that a very low WUP to just keep the plugins updated (29.00 a year 😎), without the phone support included, would work well for Waves and the customers. And maybe a expensive support plan with phone support, to the people that really care about this. On the other side, we have companies like U-He that offer for free some upgrades that could be a really paid upgrade - new features and everything else, and it seems to work well for everyone involved.

Hawkwind - Days of the Underground

Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

This is sad. His playing was so beautiful. He was just touring with Johnny Depp last summer and seemed fine. R. I. P.

Wow! I thought he had a lot of years to go.

UPDATE: I knew that Mario's story wasn't being told honestly because I gave him advice 13 yrs ago and I have communicated with Sarah, Mario, Cory and Tawnia directly and even seen the emails and screenshots. In the months since Sarah turned her 8Dio fan thread into a thread trashing 8Dio, she now says that 8Dio didn't treat her unfairly. Basically, she was just upset they didn't buy her fan project for her asking price of 5-6 figures and found anyone who had a gripe with 8Dio -- or in Mario's case, 8Dio's co-founder years before 8Dio even existed. Sarah and Mario hid that both work for 8Dio competitor Impact Soundworks (IS). IS' owner actually posted in the thread and failed to disclose that Sarah and Mario work for him. It's a case study in bad ethics and two competitors attacking another competitor. The narrative that Sarah, Greene and Mario painted is that 8Dio can't handle criticism and threaten to sue their critics, they're not telling the truth and I can tell you that Greene knows that from our direct conversations, he's told me as much, but feels taking down 8Dio is justified after he and Tawnia had a falling out, she pulled 8Dio's subscription and Greene claims she's trying to get developers together to boycott VI-CONTROL. Mario was caught shilling. He did a comparison post between ToneHammer's library (a company Troels co-founded prior to 8Dio) and the competitor's library he was working for, not disclosing that he was working for that developer. The same developer had plagiarized a bunch of copy from ToneHammer's website, so there was some bad blood. Troels simply PMed Mario and told him doing a comparison praising a library he worked on was unethical and he could be sued. Mario was worried and it was rumored that Mario was involved in piracy back then and he was especially worried about the law. My advice to him (this was 2011) was that ToneHammer was based on the US, he lived in Europe and they'd be very unlikely to pursue legal action. Instead, I recommended he not engage in similar behavior in the future and apologize to Troels. Clearly, Mario only paid attention to my advice that he was unlikely to be sued and -- I'm saying this based on my recent PMs with Mario-- still feels that Troels is the bad guy in this scenario. Sarah's story fell apart quickly and she now acknowledges she wasn't wronged in a DM to me and feels used by Greene. One of the three influencers they brought in only says 8Dio didn't offer her cash and she thinks they're cheap. Cory is a friend and his story is complex. He never actually did an 8Dio review under his own name. He opened up a sock puppet account when working for an 8Dio competitor and trashed 3 8Dio libraries. The sock puppet account never purchased any 8Dio libraries, so 8Dio's CEO tried to urge him to remove the reviews. Cory felt that Sarah and Greene were exploiting him in this thread and stopped posting at VI-Control. I share more in a later post in this thread. The bottom line is that VI-Control's owner, Mike Greene, who is also an 8Dio competitor, is angry with 8Dio's CEO after the company pulled its sponsorship of his forum, criticized him and has spent the last 10 months going on long, off the rails rants about 8Dio hurting other developers by lowering their prices too much.

I am not even a guitarist, and Jeff has been an inspiration for me most of my life. He could play anything, in any style, knew when to show off and when to back off. He and Tal Wilkenfeld were such a great duo.

I do not need Falcon. I do not need Falcon... I do not need Facon. Maybe I do...

One potentially important thing people may not have noticed is that with version 4.2 Battery no longer supports import of 3rd party formats such as soundfont, drumagog, mpc etc. REX is an exception. If you need these you can either roll back to 4.1.5 or keep Battery 3 around if you have it.

Incredible guitar player. Jeff Beck was the Truth. His passing leaves a gaping hole in the guitar community. If ever anyone was deserving of the “we are not worthy” salute, it was Jeff.. RIP, Jeff.

Per-Output Instruments are a type of Instrument track in Cakewalk, not a type of VSTi,. In Cakewalk you have three types of Instrument tracks: Simple Instrument Tracks - a track strip that contains an Audio Track and a MIDI Track, but shows as one strip. The output of the MIDI track is set to the VSTi MIDI input, and the Audio track input is connected to the first stereo pair of the VSTi outputs. By default, the MIDI track is set to transmit on all channels (i.e. it plays back exactly what you recorded). Split Instrument Tracks - one or more separate MIDI tracks / Audio Tracks. The MIDI tracks outputs are set to the VSTi MIDI input, and the Audio Track inputs are connected to the output(s) of the VSTi audio output(s). The MIDI and Audio tracks appear as separate tracks in the Track View. Per-Output Instrument Tracks - These are a special type of Simple Instrument Track, where you have several combined Audio/MIDI tracks connected to a single VSTi. For each MIDI/Audio track pair, the MIDI output of the MIDI track part is set to a specific channel, and the Audio Input of the Audio track part is connected to a specific VSTi audio output. This allows you to have several "Instrument Tracks" playing different sounds (and each having their own audio fx bin), but using a single VSTi instance. For this to work correctly, you normally have to set the MIDI inputs and Audio outputs of each instrument within the VSTi itself. In essence, a Per-Output Instrument Track is exactly the same as a Simple Instrument Track with the exception that it has it's MIDI output channel set to a single channel. As MPE requires the use of all 16 MIDI channels, you can't use Per-Output Instrument Tracks, because they're set to transmit on a single channel only.

Guys, did anyone of you get an IKM newsletter "IK's MAX deals continue - now through January 9"? I got it on 4th Jan, basically it says that the Sampletank Squared is too extended through January 9th. I bought an (second) item after that email but nothing popped-up in the Promotions page. Anyone had similar experience? On the Sampletank Squared page, which is now down, there was no update of the end date, but there was a pop-up window enticing to buy another item giving impression that the promotion still goes on. Doesn't give great feelings of confidence but I thought I'd pull the trigger again, now not so sure anymore. Waiting for a reply from support.

Canadian Trio galore Rush - Tears

Triumph - Tears in the Rain

I have a Towsend Labs L22, Slate ML-1 (with the Slate preamp) and the AEA R84. These are my mic locker choices for vocals. I also have the AEA R88 for drum overheads.

Sad news.

The Sweet - Fox on the Run

Next to the issues mentioned, I also have this problem with some plugins after an update which has a higher version number e.g. Pro-Q to Pro-Q 2. Once I see the error message I know or remember that I upgraded the plugin, so it is easy to solve the problem, but it takes some extra steps. I would like to get together with a vastly improved error message (with all the suggestions above mentioned) the option to replace the plugin so I can insert it immediately in the project. I fully agree. The thing I use so far is Project Scope, but it doesn't show which tracks and busses contain which plugins, it doesn't show stereo or mono, steady state, etc. Project Scope could maybe serve as a reference to create something that provides much more extensive and completer project information.

Damn. IKM are after my BF pocket money. I gotta block their site.
