The devs made a dumb decision to hide the size option in the EDIT MODE KNOB Menu: When you open Change do CC Choose large and open again! Why in CC? This taked me hours to figure out hahahahaha For me this is the dumbest place to place an UI size selector. The Dumbest!!!! hahahahahahaha

Libre Wave Hello, For the last couple of months I've been working on a jazz age inspired sample library for Rhapsody. Bell & Bone includes a trumpet and trombone. Both instruments feature a selection of idiomatic articulations and a range of mutes. It's available now for you, completely free! To get it you just need to install the latest version of Rhapsody, log in, and click to download/install it. Download Now A Joe-Blog Composer has made a great video overview which you can view by clicking the image below. Other News All Rhapsody instruments have had an upgrade so you'll need update both Rhapsody and the instruments you have installed. Most of the changes are cosmetic but there are a few functional ones: - The interface can now be resized by dragging from the bottom right corner. - The velocity curve is now per articulation, just like the AHDSR. - For instruments with a "Performance" articulation it's now possible to set the maximum attack and release time for that articulation. The actual value that will be used will still be determined by the instrument's scripting as it responds to your playing. - Support for mouse wheel to adjust velocity table curve - Fixed a few edge case crashes If you're interested in seeing me talk a bit about this update as well as upcoming projects I'm working on you can watch the video below. Black Friday It's that time of year again. Here's a coupon code that will give you a 40% discount across everything. The code is bf23 and you can use it at both Libre Wave and Xtant Audio.

David is a talented sample developer who's done work for a lot of popular KONTAKT developers over the years. I'm a customer of his Xtant Audio line of KONTAKT sample libraries. It has some very nice libraries that are priced pretty low. I've had a number of emails with him and found him to be a really helpful, kind and friendly person.

the download on their webiste was disabled for a year, but now you can download it for free again: https://apogeedigital.com/products/plugins/soft-limit

Variants of the AI code can be found on git-hub (i.e. it's free), and I'm pretty sure a bunch of commercial implementations are based on this, only differing in the training data they've used. I've not seen the BandLab code however, so I can't speak for that. There are some extremely useful applications of this technology, depending on how you've trained it. For example: - Being able to split up drums when you've only recorded with 2 or 3 mics - Removing/reducing bleed from other drums... in fact removing/reducing bleed from any recording. - Being able to tweak the balance of instruments - Splitting chords into separate notes I've not personally seen any examples that are specifically trained in drums so far, but it's certainly do-able using the technology. I'd be surprised if it doesn't already exist though. The only downside is the artefacts that are pretty much always present in the results to some extent. For remixing, this is normally not an issue as when the stems are re-combined, they blend almost seamlessly. Tracks in isolation however might need some treatment. When I've played around with this, I've found the best results are when you combine the separated stems with the original, using a separated stem to boost/reinforce the original part. Keeping the separated stem at a fairly low level is enough to give that part a volume boost over the original without any artefacts becoming obvious.

Everything these guys put out is outstanding. If you're into pianos of any kind, and can swing it, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

And the 2TB is $99, with a slightly better performance than the 4TB.

To clarify - it's 2023 and prior - so the entire Cinesamples catalog (Musio versions) including anything released in 2023. It's about 75 libraries in my app (all CineBrass, CineStrings, CineWinds, CinePerc, all pianos, keys, solo instruments, synths, choirs, etc.) Not so far. I own CineBrass Pro & Core and a few other libraries already, which I use heavily, but I haven't switched to the Musio versions of CineBrass yet. From what I understand it's less mic options, no keyswitching for some libraries & not as much customization, I just haven't compared yet. I don't generally use a lot of keyswitching (and don't really like how CineBrass is set up in Kontakt), and prefer microphone blend mixes, so liking the app so far. Also - they've added keyswitching patches to a few of the libraries. There seems to be keyswitching patches for all the CineOrchestra stuff that I've opened. There is a Youtube review where the guy actually prefers the simplified versions of the instruments and explains why. Wish I could find that review again, it the one that convinced me to get it as we had a similar work flow (preferring single articulation patches, a lot of library blending, etc.)

Given their last shifting of the goalpost with trying to go subscription only, I'm starting to question whether it's safe even banking on the $240 cap being safe anymore...

Installed! BTW I got a link for Pulsar Smasher which I already own. First Come First Served

The nomenclature for this process should be "ripping stems from a mixed track" so as not to be confused with actual 'stems' in the industry as detailed by @Glenn Stanton. Personally, I'm anticipating tons of copy and mechanical rights issues in the future from this nonsense.

PluginDiscounts refunded my purchase and I received the following email: No bad feelings towards PluginDiscounts. In the end it worked out in my favor. I turned around and bought it at UAD using a $25 coupon/voucher that would have expired Dec 1st.

Avid Technology Acquires Universal Audio, Expanding Its Portfolio of Audio Solutions for Media Creators** Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID), the leading technology provider that powers the media and entertainment industry, today announced that it has acquired Universal Audio, Inc., a renowned developer of audio interfaces, analog recording hardware, and UAD audio plug-ins for Mac and Windows. The acquisition will enhance Avid’s offerings for music production and audio post-production, enabling customers to access a wider range of tools and solutions for their creative needs. Universal Audio is the world’s leader in Thunderbolt audio interfaces, offering the acclaimed Apollo and Volt series of products that deliver professional studio sound quality and performance. Universal Audio also produces the award-winning UAD plug-ins, which emulate the sound and behavior of classic analog hardware from brands such as Neve, SSL, API, and more. Additionally, Universal Audio offers high-quality microphones, such as the Sphere series, which capture the sounds of the greatest mics ever made, and UAFX pedals, which provide sonic authenticity and vintage tones for guitarists and musicians. Avid plans to integrate Universal Audio’s products and technologies into its existing portfolio of audio solutions, including Pro Tools, Media Composer, Sibelius, and Avid NEXIS. Avid will also continue to support and develop Universal Audio’s standalone products and services for its loyal customer base. Avid expects the acquisition to be accretive to its revenue, earnings, and cash flow in 2024 and beyond. “We are thrilled to welcome Universal Audio to the Avid family,” said Jeff Rosica, CEO and President of Avid. “Universal Audio has a long history of innovation and excellence in the audio industry, and we share a common vision of empowering media creators with the best tools and solutions. By combining our strengths and expertise, we will be able to offer our customers a more comprehensive and integrated audio workflow, from creation to delivery.” “Joining Avid is a natural and exciting step for us,” said Bill Putnam Jr., CEO and Co-founder of Universal Audio. “Avid is a leader in the media and entertainment space, and we have a great respect for their products and their team. We believe that together, we can create more value and opportunities for our customers, partners, and employees, and deliver more amazing sound to the world.” The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Avid will provide more details on the financial and strategic benefits of the acquisition on its next earnings call. -----------

You already have a ton of effect plugins even just from UAD Signature. Komplete has a lot more diverse stuff if you want that. For me, I own KUCE 15, and I think that any Komplete edition is by far the best bang for buck bundle. Ton of quality stuff at a great price.

I have decided not to buy any of them! I already have melda complete and iZotope total bundle and my main daw is Logic Pro. this is probably enough.

Dang! I don't read the forum for a day and look what happens! (I'm a little relieved to be honest.) PS. To any new-ish forum members, if Lars says his "deal-ie" sense is tingling, JUMP!

FYI - the new Sonar has a new Track Manager button on both the Track View and Console View, which: 1. Allows quick access to your per-project Track Manager presets - i.e. they're listed in a drop-down menu 2. Can toggle the hidden state of all tracks 3. Gives a clear indicator as to whether any tracks are hidden 4. Allows you to quickly toggle the TV/CV sync state without having to open the track manager We can take a look at the PRV anomalies - it sounds like there's some weird conflict going on between PRV filters and the track hidden state. A more enhanced version of the Track Manager is likely on the cards at some point in the future - we started initial discussions, but has not been fully designed or scheduled yet.

UAD any day of the week over Waves. Waves do have some great plugins, but UA for the equivalents are on par, or better in most cases, but no WUP and I'd say overall a better company, albeit plenty of people have been unhappy with them recently too! There are some tools Waves has that UA doesn't have natively yet, but nothing really unique, or exceptional that you can't get elsewhere. Waves offers do get tempting at times though.. I get it.. be strong! 🤣

Mercury gets you all new releases in the next year... Downside...it will be $240 for WUP...

Oy - just received an email from PluginDiscounts that after all the drama that they were able to fulfil my order and get my codes. Don't know how many of these orders they were able to fix or if they only got a few and because I was communicating with them I got 'lucky' but now I've purchased the UAD bundle twice. So if you tried to purchase from PluginDiscounts - check your emails to see if they sent you your license code before buying it again from UAD.

I think I get an extra point for that!

Musio has really turned out to be one of my best investments. Was one of the lucky ones who got in on the lifetime $499 deal, and they really have delivered thus far.

Drew just confirmed to me that the Avid press release is indeed fake.
