Just a word of caution regarding the update to Kontakt 7.6.1 from 7.6.0. On the NI forum many are experiencing high CPU loads and other anomalies. And i have experienced the following. There was an update to the Play series Glaze and Melted Vibes to 2.0.0 plus the Kontakt update. So I updated Kontakt to 7.6.1 and the Play series to 2.0.0 Kontakt then said when I tried to import both of these just to see what was different. Stated my version of kontakt was to old ?????? And unable to use them. The solution is to download from NI a retrograde to 7.6.0 This fixes the cpu issues and strangely enough both the updated Play series open in 7.6.0 The retrograde to K7.6.0 is available here if you need it https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/17691/kontakt-7-6-1-update-causes-cpu-spikes-crashes

I have a feeling we're in different cohorts of users in UA... It seems the deals I get, you don't and the deals you get, I don't.. this doesn't show for me... although I'd mainly be interested in it if the vouchers would combine. With UA I've learnt there's no consistency and it's a bit of a lucky dip as to what deals you get.... you win some, you lose some it seems.. I lost this round so I'm ignoring them ?

I bought the GForce Oberheim Bundle: OB-E + SEM and that gave me one serial. On the GForce website I redeemed the serial by selecting "Oberheim - The Bundle" from the dropdown and that added three products into my account: Oberheim OB-E, Oberheim-X and Oberheim SEM.

I'm fairly confident, yes.

Best you might be able to do is $68 via Thomann assuming you don't get whacked with some kind of additional tax. https://www.thomannmusic.com/gforce_ob_x.htm Unless you're a gambling man and want to try what people were talking about on GS; buy the Oberheim bundle on JRR shop with the forum code for $132.61 USD and see if it still redeems with OB-X included. Worst case scenario, you would likely be eligible for the 39 GBP upgrade fee on Gforcesoftware.com after redeeming the bundle, best case scenario you get OB-X "for free". The bundle with the updated contents including all 3 listed on GForce's site is 169 GBP. https://www.jrrshop.com/gforce-oberheim-bundle If it doesn't work, don't blame me!!!

I am so sick of weak leadership leading to tragedy and travesty. I hope the mood(s) in this song conveys my up and down feelings. Music is my most efficient method of communication, and if that fails, then I guess I have nothing, The Middle East Dance - A new song in the classical genre. - Baselines Designs https://baselines.com/?p=6921

Ambitious? Perhaps. Challenging? Yes! There was a lot of mixing to be done because there was a lot going on at the same time, most of the times. I think mixing took as long as setting up the livejam and recording it. But here it is, a jam using everything I have. This will probably be the last time I do something like this. Sometimes less is more, and I will try to keep things simpler in the future. But this had to be done ? I need to visit the barber...

Thanks guys Synth V is the vocal AI program. I create the background in Kaiber.AI and overlay the faces using HeyGen to make everyone talk. I'm using the free version of HeyGen so I get to create two :30 second talking photos a day. So it takes a couple of days to create all the elements sometimes, if I don't make any mistakes.

Basically up until OB-X was released the bundle only included OB-E and SEM. They released OB-X which is now part of that bundle but JRR hasn't put the price up yet. So when I bought the bundle at JRR Shop and registered, I basically got OB-X for free ?

I take no responsibility for that, although I caved as well and went from not buying to buying in a very short time... Glad I did though ?

Damn you all. I wasn't going to buy this, but after trying the code GROUP my itchy finger is now on the trigger...

This is exactly why I hate all those online/login authorization products! In the end you realize that you have bought a cheat package, because you never know how long you can use them even if you have a compatible computer system! God save Reaper, Mixbus, Klanghelm, Toneboosters, AudioThing, Black Rooster, Acon Digital, Audiority, Boz Digital, ... and all the free plugins! ?

I don't own one of those, but have used the 3 fader version in another production room and was quite satisfied with performance. It was assigned to CC#3, CC#14, & CC#11. #3 (breath) & #11 (expression) are present in most orchestral VST'S, and #14 is usually freely assignable, so that worked for me. Well worth the money, altho they only contain about $35 in materials and can be easily made by anyone with a modicum of soldering skills. Programming is done via web portal, and cannot be changed on the fly, but otherwise OK.

Five years ago, we embarked on a groundbreaking journey with one of the most innovative and refreshing electric guitarists of our time, Plini. His remarkable sound, a blend of progressive, fusion, and metal styles, inspired us to create a plugin that could match his versatility and artistry. Plini's collaboration brought out the best in us as engineers and musicians, inspiring us to create a plugin equipped with cutting-edge technology. What emerged was Archetype: Plini, a sonic masterpiece that not only met Plini's exacting standards but set a new standard in the industry. Five years later, we’re pleased to introduce an evolution of our original masterpiece, providing artists with the modern tools they need to bring their musical visions to life, echoing the success and artistic growth that Plini has achieved over the past half-decade. It's a reflection of our commitment to enhancing the music-making experience and celebrating Plini's extraordinary contribution to the world of music.

Thus begins the tedious process of downloading, installing, and authorizing all the plugins, virtual instruments, and libraries that were installed on my old Mac - and with it, the joy of having to try to remember and reset my credentials for each of the dozens of developers. And then, to transfer all my custom presets, samples, and libraries… Fortunately, I do not rely all that much on 3rd party plugins - or so I thought before I began. I've been out of that loop for so many years. A lot of stuff I didn't remember I own. I realized that I was a version or two behind for some things that will no longer install, like EZ Drummer. Although SD2 installed just fine, so the upgrade can definitely wait. I dread the Waves part - I have a feeling that that's where trouble will come from. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm not sure about Pro Tools either. I USED to have a perpetual license, but that version must be incompatible with my machine... Not that I ever use PT all that much. I used to curse the fact that software companies forced you to install a manager to download and install your plugins, but I must say that in view of this daunting task, I am now extraordinarily grateful for them. The user experience has improved dramatically. I’m still not over the fact that I've had to say farewell to Dimension/Rapture/Z3t4 - they were an integral part of my workflow for almost 20 years, featured in practically every single bit of music that I wrote and arranged during that period. Imagine having even just a tenth as many plugins and libraries as Bapu - the logistics of reinstalling all of that...

What I meant was more does Plini X use the Plini licence from iLok, or does it create a new licence separate from Plni and specifically for Plini X? Anyone who has both, can you comment? I've got Abasi, Cory Wong, Gojira, Granophyre, Nolly, Petrucci, Plini/X and Tone King Imperial; and Plini and Petrucci are my two favourites. I play mostly progressive rock and metal. Their stuff is not cheap but it's pretty pretty good.

...and I pulled it. Now I just have to sell my unregistered license of Oberheim SEM to someone so I can convince myself that this was money well spent.

Me too feeling nice getting to know new developers from whom I will never buy until they give freebies

I must be a gambling man... (I'm not).. but this was too good to pass up and yes I caved, but yes, I got OB-X as well ? GForce stuff is about as analog sounding and warm as it gets for virtual instruments. Totally worth it.

DarkSkyAudio has seen some big changes in the last two months. We’ve restructured so now it’s just me running the show. To give this change a bit of a wink and a nod, I have released the next evolution of my FREE Kontakt engine. Socora LITE features next-gen systems and sonic wizardry that nudge it even closer to the authentic sound and feel of a high-end, hardware analog synth. …and it’s still FREE to download!

https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/harrison-32classic £75,000 excluding VAT. Legendary large-format console manufacturer Harrison have announced the launch of the 32Classic, a new 32-channel console that delivers the sound of their iconic early designs but with some powerful modern functionality. every channel is equipped with a transformer-balanced mic preamp along with their classic 32C four-band EQ and high- / low-pass filters, balanced insert points and direct outputs. Routing options are comprehensive, too, with eight multitrack buses, four aux sends plus a stereo cue send, and a transformer-balanced main mix output. comes loaded with 64 channels of A-D and D-A converters with Dante connectivity, and features an In-Line record mode which makes it possible to route input signals directly to a DAW whilst a separate Playback path takes care of monitoring and headphone mixes. It also supports monitoring configuration up to 7.1.4, meaning it can be integrated directly into studios with Dolby Atmos systems.

Beautiful and Well presented song .. Your talent for hitting this smooth gene , is always Amazing and somewhat confusing for me. I guess it's a lot of different little things you do , including the big changes in sections that somehow keep the same vibe going. Nice fade out as well . I Really Like this one . Always a pleasure .. mark

Was curious if nano would be free for those that already own orange vocoder. Sometimes a lighter version of plugin is helpful. I plan to ask and will report back.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about these: https://www.midi-plugins.de/ If you downloaded the installer (midiplug_64.exe), just run it and it will register the MidiFX properly. You can specify any directory for the install or just accept the default. You DON'T need to check the box to install the VST plugins, Cakewalk doesn't need them, it uses the DirectX version. When you restart Cakewalk, the plugins will be available here when you want to insert them on a MIDI track :

What is your source? If audio, then just use a tremolo effect. Meldaproduction’s Mtremolo comes to mind. If a MIDI instrument - depends on the instrument - it may have this feature built in. Or you could map a CC to the right parameters.

Make sure your screensets aren't locked before changing anything

Hi Max. Don't know why you feel the need to tell me that good music is not usually lined up to a beat, but here is an explanation. Yes, it is a good song,. Yes, he is paying me well, and why do I want it to match the measures? First of all, I have to make multiple edits of the 4 tracks because he skips meaning, he doesn't let it come around to the 1 before he starts singing again -he is random -and he jumps in at the most random places. So, I have to cut and move his guitar playing and voice many times through the song, and of course, move everything forward to make space to do so. If lined up to measures, I can easily cut, paste, and move around, but if not I am doing it to his audio click which is much more tedious. Once I do this, I need to outsource drums (sends me 13 tracks) and multiple instruments so nice to have it line up to the measure (not the beat) so I can see who is off timing to the measure and cut and paste easily when grafting. All songs I produce follow the measures. I am not talking about quantizing it and making it fit the beat. And the main reason I am doing this, is because he desperately wants a professionally produced song. Pray for me. (smiles). The things we do for love.

I had to go back and look at the article to make sure the Chrssie Hyde they placed at 172 was the one I was thinking about. Yep, they are the same. Such a shame they thought she was worthy and not Joe Pass and Al Di Meola. And she ranked higher than Django and Wes Montgomery!! If ya gonna put her on the list, put her down at the bottom!! SMFH!!

Laugh all you want, it's still debatable
