A Linux DAW is an incomplete solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Other than getting-over on "the man" (Microsoft or Apple), what's a significant benefit?

Upgrade form version 1, $50. $149 full price. Don’t believe there is an intro discount hence the no deal but looks amazing. Can’t wait to upgrade. From website: https://soniccharge.com/forum/topic/2466-synplant-2-is-here?~post12645 The upgrade price for all Synplant version 1 owners is $50/€50 (incl. VAT), and the full price is $149/€149 (incl. VAT). In other words, Synplant version 1 owners get the upgrade for the price difference. Once installed, Synplant 2 will replace Synplant version 1. Unfortunately, you cannot run them both side by side. If you open a patch or an old song created with Synplant version 1, the audio engine will run in "backwards compatibility mode" to ensure that everything sounds exactly like before. However, you will have the option to upgrade old patches to the better-sounding version 2 audio engine. Genopatch is the big new thing obviously, but this update is stuffed with a lot of other enhancements. Here is a brief run-down: Rewritten audio engine with plenty of new parameters ("genes") and improved DSP algorithms for every part of the signal chain. New DNA editor with a structured parameter layout and animating graphs of the various settings. You can automate and control all genes with MIDI CC. New "bulb modes" give you alternative ways to trigger the different branches: velocities, different ranges over the keyboard, and a "layered" mode that triggers multiple branches simultaneously. New performance features, such as support for mono patches, glide/portamento, and tempo sync that synchronize any rhythmic components of the sound to the host tempo. Instead of growing all branches, the mod-wheel can easily be reassigned to control various standard destinations, such as filter cutoff, LFO amount, envelope time, and more. Rudimentary MPE support with per-channel mod-wheel, pitch-bend, and pressure. Extendible and moddable with Javascript support, skins, etc., just like Microtonic.

All ready exists, not the blocking but if the number of posts exceeds a certain number they get blocked. Blocking is not the solution, reporting with a reason, rather than the empty reports of which so many are.

Best approach with UAD is just ignore them when they do stuff like that. Even with their initial high prices when they went native, for those that ignored them, you ended up getting them at $14 per plugin, or $39 without the thank you voucher. Just ignore them until this bundle offer is over, or whenever they make sense again down the track. I'm sure most of us don't really need any of the plugins, they're just nice to haves ? I'd say this offer was pretty well planned from the onset of the UAD Polymax freebie and knowing they were coming up to Black Friday as a good way to void lots of the active $25 thanks, which for a lot of people will expire before the end of the month. Ignore them and they may add some other offers over this month when sales drop ?

Oh dang... that's a bummer =/ One thing I've learned from being on this Deals Forum... always snatch a deal the moment you see it. Before they take it away or it expires.

UFO - Lights Out

I used Ubuntu on a couple of old computers for basic internet stuff and it was fine for that. But I don't think at my age I would want to go the Linux route for my music stuff. I'm getting up in years and rather make music then trouble-shoot.

If I didn't have two years left of subscription I'd get a perpetual license. I create in Ableton but mix in Pro Tools. I have a pair of Avid S1 control surfaces and to me that's the best option I've found for mixing.

Great product. Takes a little time to wrap your head around it (at least it did for me). Ceiling Of Sound is a pretty nifty product of theirs too.

Liikkuva is nice. Decent price too, if you remember to use vst10off code (gives 10% off) as I think the intro price for the library was 49 bucks.

Not in the sense that you are asking. That's not how Synplant works https://soniccharge.com/synplant The following videos might help provide a more nuanced answer on the Genopatch mutation engine older video with more info on Genopatch.

It does indeed, because many of the recent spam has contained it, no not going to say as then the spammers would know.

This. After I first jumped in, I spent at least as many hours with Theme Editor as I did with Cakewalk, all of it just as enjoyable. And fine with me, I suspect there are more people who checked out and enjoyed the themes I made than who did the same for my music (it helps that the themes actually got released). My compulsive desire to theme every possible element got me to delve into features I had otherwise ignored or been unaware of. None of that would have been possible without TYLIP, as well as the inspiration @Colin Nicholls provided with his Steampunk theme. What a revelation! Themes can also reference pop culture! I hope that there are enough themeable elements in Sonar that we get to have our fun again. Although I doubt I'll ever have a theme I like using as much as I do Green Flat Dark and Blue Flat Dark. Here's hoping that the features of the new UI make up for that.

There are some great 80s/synthwave presets from Xenos for Diva, Spire, Hive, and Sylneth. Old School Colors for Diva is particularly good (if you have Diva). EDIT: He has lots of good presets for the original Massive that would fit the bill. I still love the "not X" version of Massive even with its small interface.

Yes, both of those are checked.

A lot of download midi files start the count at zero and if you use the metronome you don’t notice the missing or quiet first click until you export it. I’m using them as backing tracks so I need that first click. So Ripple edit and Select All and drag the project 1 measure. Or I fix it in Wave Lab.

New Roland MC-500 hardware MIDI sequencer - $1000 in 1988. I spent the money on an 80286 PC and a Musiquest MPU-501 interface that came bundled with Cakewalk 2.0a for DOS. The rest is history. I emphasize New because I actually bought a used one for $50 c. 2001 just to play with.

I Wanna – All American Rejects

I clicked on the link and saw what looks like a web page made for little kids and I left.

I've uploaded the (possibly) final version of the document, updated for 2023.09 and including recent contributions from folks since the previous update. Thanks folks, it's been fun. I'm looking forward to the theming possibilities in the new Sonar. Hopefully, it won't require anything like as comprehensive as the YLIP.

TubeDept over 25% off JJ ECC83 / 12AX7 Gold Pin Preamp Vacuum Tube These are the gold pin version of the standard JJ ECC83. The JJ ECC83G preamp vacuum tube exhibits a warm, rich tonality with a gentle amount of signal gain and quick compression. The solid short plate design provides an articulate response with excellent microphonics resistance. The gold plated pins provide a corrosion proof surface for maximum signal transfer. The JJ ECC83G is a great choice for first gain stage positions, especially when harmonic gain is desired, but works equally well anywhere a quality ECC83 / 12AX7 is needed. $34.95 | $24.95 Sale Ends Friday, October 6th, 12pm CST.

Yeah... grump... I got my Thank You coupon this morning but price change made it worth less (not worthless, just diminished its value)

Got a thank you added and the Tuesday coupon is back for the moment. Maybe just for me? But might be worth checking

Kinda figured, but this is all i found skimming thru the manual, which didn't seem too informative. Probably a question for the Alesis forums. 57Gregy makes a good point too since these are off by default.

Was too slow this morning... when I dropped it in my cart price updated to $149. Oh well, was sale was great while it lasted...

Told ya

I assume you have these 2 items selected in Preferences? And welcome to the forum.

I would definitely start with Alesis and their forum or even tech support. I would assume that all of their drum modules are configured similarly, and what you need to know is specific to their kits rather than the host (DAW).

Nice elements here all to the pretty steady beats! Thanks for sharing. Nice!

This has been requested since the beginning of time. We all have just gotten used to starting at either 1 or 2. I often put the count in on measure 1 and song starts at 2. The reason is you can’t have midi notes at zero or they might not trigger properly. A negative measure option has been asked for many times and everyone agreed it’s a great idea but it has yet to be seen. It especially bugs people who rely on the notation view.

This is exactly how I imagine it! ?

I have yet to upgrade the IK products. Just waiting for all this to settle down.
