Nah. Opposite. I’m buying more stuff. Had so many friends and family die the last year or two, some younger than me, I’ve just thought ***** it…and in the words of the song …”enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think”.

No one EXCITED about "PreSonus Sphere" being renamed/rebranded "Studio One+"?? Come on... that is original!

Yeah. I can't wait to pay for Sonar again. 🤥

With Hollywood on strike, many projects have been put on hiatus or canceled so my budget is strict for new instruments. Luckily my arsenal is well stocked. And to top that off, Lifetime TV just reduced their soundtrack allotment to $5k for 80 minutes of original music. I expect other majors to follow suit shortly. I won't work that cheap, so retirement is looking really good.

I've been cutting back on plugins in general not because of the economy, but because I have tons I don't use. So, the economy isn't directly affecting my decision, but it would definitely be a factor if there were more plugins I wanted to buy. As I think about it, maybe the one person who should respond to this post is the plugin king himself, @Bapu The rest of us on this forum stand humbled before him!

Speaking just for myself, in the US, the price of everything has gone up. Yes, energy has gone up, but in my experience food, most consumer goods and services, and essential repairs (parts and labor) have gone up more than energy prices.

Mark mentioned in a thread the other day that everything was more or less baked for the next CbB update but they're waiting on some server side stuff to be completed by a different Bandlab team. It sounds like everyone is keen to push this out

There's a video right above your post, give it a watch to understand how a gate works. But here's an article to do a deeper dive. https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/noise-gates.html

Zynaptiq does a crap job of notifying us of updates. They have (tardily) announced plugin updates on KVR for a couple of their plugin: Adaptiverb v1.80 https://www.zynaptiq.com/adaptiverb/adaptiverb-downloads/ Morph v2.5.0 https://www.zynaptiq.com/morph/morph-downloads/ PitchMap v1.9.1 https://www.zynaptiq.com/pitchmap/pitchmap-downloads/ >> updated June 2023 But it looks like all of their plugins were updated on December 15th, 2022. I missed it, guessing most of us did. All of these are significantly newer than what I have installed.

"Approaching"? How big is your frickin' tool chest?

Can confirm it worked a second time. And now I bought a reverb I definitely do not need. 😡

In the end, you gotta ask yourself: are you a plugin user or a plugin owner?

I don't need this, I have all the Leslies I need. I don't need this, I have all the Leslies I need. I don't need this, I have all the Leslies I need. I don't need this, I have all the Leslies I need. Help me people, help me!!

A watched kettle will boil eventually, but instead of watching it boil you could be making music. 😜

I'm not really sure there even is any new stuff to talk about, honestly. From everything I've seen posted they're still at work on the upcoming products and there's some logistics to get past for the CbB stuff. Seeing Mark mention the back-end stuff, I wonder if that's got something to do with people testing Next out taking a while to get happening? It sounds like there's going to be some kind of public/semi-public beta for it, rather than the closed internal testing they've had so far (just speculating here, no insider knowledge on that either way)

Same here. I'm sad about the closing of the original thread. Every now and then the bakers gave us some information in there. What about opening a new one to get new information again? 😉

ADSR Sample Manager makes your entire sample library searchable with smart and custom tags. Preview any sample in your local library or purchased on ADSR without reorganising anything and audition them in the context of your track (BPM and/or key synced) using MIDI or drag audio directly to your project.

Wow, the Music Essentials Bundle alone would be a fantastic deal for that price. Even Neoverb alone would be a fantastic deal for that price. I own everything in that bundle and there's some really good stuff in there. Well, your deal was even better than mine, but both are killer. Hopefully, jngnz will get things sorted and find a similarly great deal. Between this deal, IK's Group Buy, the recent deal of IK's MixBox and the deal several weeks ago from Sonible, high quality plugins have never been cheaper. Now I just need to learn how to use all of this stuff properly!

I just noticed the release of v7 of Captain Plugins Epic. The v7.0.0 installer was code signed on 27 June 2023. The update is free if you have v6, $39 if you're still on Captain Plugins v5. The VST versions load and run no problem, but I'm getting a blank GUI with the VST3 versions, so beware. I'll send a message to their support. To download the update, you'll need your original v6 email with the download link, or use the Download link in the web page footer. I did not have to reauthorize v7. Captain Plugins Epic EDIT: I am getting a blank VST3 GUI in Gig Performer. The VST version loads fine. In Studio One, the default only shows the VST3 version in the browser. The GUI opened OK, but I had to reauthorize it. Odd goings on. I think I'll clear the plugin list in Gig Performer and do a full rescan and see what happens. So my guess is that you'll have to reauthorize in Cakewalk. Can someone confirm?

Plus extra discount in the basket with code FORUM. https://www.jrrshop.com/meldaproduction?dir=desc&order=special_from_date E.g. The Complete Bundle for $631.01: https://www.jrrshop.com/meldaproductions-mcompletebundle CreativeFX for $203.81: https://www.jrrshop.com/melda-productions-mcreativebundle

Which is why I will counter that statement by saying if you haven't mastered every last detail with the Gates you already own, then you shouldn't buy another one. How many times have we (guilty as charged) bought plugins before truly learning the ones we already have?

Another take I have both. Based on his review (possibly biased?) Oxford is better.

Embertone just sent out an email to Joshua Bell owners with a 50% personalized discount for their Intimate Strings Series ( and not the international space station hahah). Look for email. It applies to one instrument or the full bundle. Link to bundle: https://embertone.com/instruments/issbundle.php

Run ASC Analog Lab V V 5.7.3 New features: KeyLab Essential mk3 : Choosing a subtype does not load the first preset anymore KeyLab Essential mk3 : Pushing the main encoder after loading a preset when adding a part validates it KeyLab Essential mk3 : Entering a Playlist/SoundBank/Favorite now highlight the first preset of the list Bug fixes: Keyboard settings are now properly displayed when loading a multi preset

Me too. Sooooo many. My favourite is actually the IK one so buy that in the group buy and get a whole bunch of other plugins free. Or wait and get the whole fx collection on the Arturia BF sale.

Assign track color to follow the bus.

What a difference one letter switch can make:

MEssentialsFX gets my vote for the best bang for the buck (providing you already have the upgraded FreeFX bundle). With the discount, I guess it would be about $80. MTurboReverble alone is worth that, throw in MTurboDelay and it's crazy, add MAutoDynamicEQ, MAutoAlign, MLimiterX, MCompare, and MSpectralDynamicsle and it's the proverbial no-brainer, and then there's MTurboComple, MAutoVolume, and MSaturatorMB. This isn't a "starter kit" of their stuff (the FreeFX bundle is that), it contains their heaviest hitters. For anyone concerned about what they're missing with the "le" part of any of them, I don't believe I've done anything with the hidden features except to open them to see what they looked like. Which was "a set of parameters way over my head."

Me too!

Nice little baby. An emu of an emu of an emu.

Yup! I’m in the club too. I check many times each day!

Many great Melda deals in the last months. I can highly recommend their ecosystem.

Indeed! I've 'wasted' my voucher at the beginning of month All of them kind of my favorites, haven't had much chances to use them all yet but the Noveltech stuff can definitely add some extra shine to vocals and not only 👍

I always thought 'poor people' about Mac users (sorry Fleer!)😜😛

Alright Grem ! So your not the model in the picture ! We got it ! Kenny

They might have actually fixed this. This used to happen to me whenever I added new sample folders to an existing folder. The existing folder would be grayed out after adding the new folders and updating the library. I would have to use the above fix to restore grayed out folders. It was such a pain that I gave up on ADSR sample manager. However I just tried it with the current version and it now seems to be working correctly.

I reported it after adding this:
