I just want to give a shout out to Arturia Customer Support. I bought a second hand Minilab Mk2 on eBay. Of course, the keyboard and the software had already been licensed to the original owner, but I thought I'd reach out to Arturia and ask if they could help out. In less than 24 hours I had my keyboard licensed, and licenses for all the bundled software and freebies that came with the original keyboard. This is amazing customer support if you consider that they will not be making any profit on this sale. Well done Arturia

With DEC10 you can get $10 off your cart at the moment at https://cymatics.fm/. Also, for a limited time, you get their new Hip Hop sample pack Spice for free with any purchase.

I have only positive things to say about their software (synths, FX) and hardware (MiniLab controllers and MiniFuse interface). All perfect. And their support is second to none. I consider Arturia to be one of the finest examples in music production.

I picked up the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip and excited to check that out. What I was happily surprised is that one of the FREEBIES when ordering through Plugin Boutique is DAWSOMES LOVE multi effect. I have played with it briefly and there is a lot of potential and to "Love" about it. And the $49 essentials is a great deal, especially with all of the extra compressor models. Thanks for the heads up @satya

They're really good! It's kinda interesting to see that like 10 years ago Arturia was seen like a 'meh' company, and NI was quite a powerhouse back then, and now the things reversed

Professional to the core in everything they do.

My first.

This was my first "rock" album!

And it's 'based on', not repackaged. i.e. the modifications have been made - code changes (bug fixes, improvements/enhancements), presets added, etc.. People appear to be upset that DiscoDSP didn't contribute open source code regarding the original or maybe it's just that DiscoDSP isn't free. Personally I don't see what the fuss is about - if you want to use the 7 year old v1.0 version of software with no presets use the 2Dat version, if you want the one with the latest fixes/tweaks and included presets buy the discoDSP version or that of another developer. FWIW - I don't use either. I have OP-X PRO-II by SonicProjects and the Arturia versions.

@smallstonefan long time BFD user. updates to BFD3 have been minor at best. any significant changes, improvements, rumours of a BFD4, etc have been very slow in coming. the only thing they've spent time on (apparently) is releasing a free player. -if- everything is working fine for you as is, i would -not- recommend the downgrade to the current InMusic version. the two biggest issues imo are: 1) the InMusic DRM -requires- online re-authorization every 90 days or less. it's improved since the initial rollout, but still less than perfect. if you have reliable 24/7 online access, it's not that big of a deal to reauthorize, -unless- the InMusic servers are acting up. If you do any sort of remote/location/live work, forget it. 2) Once you make the switch. -all- of your prior investment in expansions gets hijacked by the new InMusic DRM. you no longer own it per the original license and it is now only as good as InMusic's capability to support it. they seem to be living down to their reputation... fwiw, i keep a dedicated rack mount server to run everything purchased & installed prior to InMusic. they are still the best sounding (by far) for my needs.

Been a bit dry on the creative side .. so been going through the back cat of my old stuff using Ozone 10 THE WITCH SupaReels Music There was a time, not so long ago When she could dance in fields of grass When the night was the only friend she knew And no one cared and no one saw She stole his heart on a moonlit night He's eyes enchanted by the light In vales of darkness she began to see A dance of grace, then she whispered “ Come with me” ….... Taking all the world and the hate that's in their minds Would you really have the time to say goodbye Thoughts now in your head for the living and the dead You don't know what's going on behind your back Look behind you ! Look around you! You'll see I'm right She showed him all mankind's history The wars and peace, greed and harmony Now he sees … For way beyond the realms of time and space he cries a tear for all those in his place

Now stop buying plugins You input an audio sample, and it outputs a Vital preset file. It's that simple Said to be free alternative to synplant 2 https://micromusic.tech/

40 years ago almost to the day I bought Diary of a Madman, my very first LP - and my life was changed. Since then, I have purchased more copies of that album than any other, in almost every format, the more recent being the Legacy Edition CD, 10 years ago, and again, coincidentally, almost to the day (11/27). Tonight, I logged in to work and found a gift card in my inbox. My first thought was: vinyl. The second was: Diary of a Madman. The O in OCD stands for Ozzy I guess.

Just a nudge to check out the Audio Assault Air Rack that I mentioned earlier in the thread? Even though its now $9.99 (still on sale, but not the BF** $5 price I mentioned at the time) it looks like it ticks off all the boxes people have mentioned as desirable in an IR handler except for tone matching: IR Mixer with Tweakable Mic Position Serial/Parallel IR Processing IR Export Function Deconvolver Unlimited Slots FREE IR Library Included (can use your own as well) Resizable GUI EQ phase delay normalizer panning etc. **web site says BF sale is still on but when I tried code just a couple of minutes ago it wasn't working for me. Edit: 12/4 Other people have reported that code is working.

This is most likely related to a hang in the drivers for your Audio interface. You can look for updated drivers, or cycle power (ie: disconnect) it for a few moments to pin this down. If you save & close the project session first, then close CbB, does it still hang?

My first that I bought! I had some hand me downs, but this is the one I forked over my birthday money for!

Stones baby, The Rolling Stones! 12x5, Out of Our Heads, or Rolling Stones Now, can’t remember which; but you know what they say “If you claim to remember the 60’s, you definitely weren’t there”… t

My first album was a Beatles album. I don't recall which one. My father gave me his record collection before I bought my own first album. But I do recall the first 45that I bought. It was an EP iirc. It was Elvis with Hound Dog and 3 other songs on it I think. 45's were 97 cents each at K-Mart at the time. For Christmas I always got Kiss and Beatles LP's.

Well, I looked at the link you posted, and now I fully understand!! I am still laughing!! Looks like they will keep the band going! But profitable? Yep!! Yep again!!

https://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/g82-ac-dr-acoustic-drum-machine/ Soniccoture have release AC-DR, an acoustic drum machine for Kontakt, available at the intro price of $104.30, increasing to $149.00 after the promotion. The offer ends December 29th. Soniccoture wanted to make an old school-style drum machine. But they wanted to do it with 21st century sampling techniques: round-robin samples, multi-channel sounds, generative sequencers. Drums that sound chunky, dry & tight – but also chatter with life.

curtis mayfield - people get ready

My first. Learned just about every song on there. Learned it on some strat type guitar. Don't remember the name. But the amp I had was a small Kalamazoo!!

But they are increasing the likelihood of future sales.

In my experience the response time is good, but the ability to respond in a manner that suggests that they actually read the question properly seems to elude them.

I just had to post one more time. Just wow. I figured this would cost hundreds. I was shocked. Thanks again Fleer!! What does Bapu say - got it! The only thing I don’t like is that when long sustained notes decrescendo, the vibrato should lessen. Otherwise very good.

Can't pass up a Luftrum deal Luftrum 14 for Omnisphere Luftrum 20 for Hive Luftrum 19 for Repro 5 Solaria for Dark Zebra My life is now complete.

In fairness to DiscoDSP they do mention it at bottom of the OX-XD page: "Credit and Licensing OB-Xd is a software synthesizer developed under a commercial license granted by Vadim Filatov, also known as 2Dat. All rights and permissions for the use of OB-Xd have been lawfully obtained in accordance with the terms of the license agreement."

Finally, finished my Cakewalk Tutorial Series geared towards beginners. The series is made in a way that even those who are new to music production as a whole (not just Cakewalk) will be able to understand the concepts. We are in fact producing a piece of music through the series. However, the production should be seen as a tool to help the viewer understand Cakewalk effortlessly. Here are the videos - Video Episodes 1 through 5 deals with the most basic stuff that needs to be understood or set up, before we actually start a project. Without these, Cakewalk is quite blank to even start a project. After we have set all the necessary things up, we can start working in Cakewalk. From Video Episodes 6 through 14, we see the core concepts of Cakewalk and see how they actually fit in the actual production process. 1. How to Install Cakewalk by Bandlab Obviously the first thing to do. The installation process should be done with a bit of care, as we need the files in the appropriate locations. Otherwise we might end up having to fix those later in the future, & can lead to unnecessary confusion.In this video, we go through the installation process step-by-step. In the end, we also go through some initial setting up post-installation. If you installed with a random directory, thinking you could change them in the future, a normal re-installation process will not some of them. You will have to follow the steps listed in this page. 2. How to install VST Plugins If a DAW is a factory, then the plugins are the machinery. Cakewalk does have enough plugins to mix, but seriously lacks in the category of Instrument plugins (plugins that create sound).In this video, we see how we can add plugins (instruments or FX) into Cakewalk. 3. Working with Samples in Cakewalk Samples are pieces of short Audio. This video could have been done later in the series. However, I wouldn't have been able to place it right in the story telling. Besides we do need to understand what samples are before we get into the next video. 4. Working with Sampler Plugins Samplers are plugins into which we can load samples. Some samplers can be used for quite simple purposes like triggering a one-shot sample (short audio sample), while some others can be used in sophisticated ways like a synthesizer. In this video, we look mostly look into the former type. 5. Working with Sample Libraries Several small audio samples combine to form libraries. These libraries can be loaded into plugins that can be categorized as Sample Players (advanced sampler). Sample libraries are the way to go if you want to emulate realistic instruments. 6. Cakewalk Piano Roll View The Piano Roll View is where we can write music inside Cakewalk. We write the melody and the corresponding instrument will generate the corresponding pitch. 7. How to make Drum Beats in Cakewalk We can do this by using samples directly in the Clips Pane (Main Timeline) or, by using a sampler plugin. However, there are some more stuff that should be understood to program drums efficiently. We see those in this video. 8. Cakewalk Step Sequencer Watch the video if you want FL Studio like Step Sequencer. Also, the video is kind of like an extension of the previous video. 9. Cakewalk Console View The Console view is like the imitation of the mixing consoles we see in Studios (or movies 🤭). This is where we mix our project. Mixing is the process by which multiple sounds are combined into one or more channels. The video goes in detail on each module. If you see it from beginning to end, you will be able to translate mixing tutorials on any DAW, into CbB console view. 10. How to Record MIDI In video 6, we saw how we can enter MIDI notes by using the mouse. But, if you do know how to play a keyboard, then you can connect a MIDI keyboard and record your performance. This video involves setting up the MIDI device and all the recording process. 11. How to Record Audio Just like MIDI, we can record audio (vocal, instruments, etc). In this video, we record stuff without using any interface to connect the recording devices. 12. Automation in Cakewalk Automation means to record the movement of a control such that the next time we play, that control plays automatically. Automation is one of the keys to making our project sound good. Not just mixing, they can also give some very interesting musical results. In this video, we go through everything we can do in Cakewalk with respect to automation. 13. Bounce Audio inside Cakewalk We might need to bounce MIDI or audio into the processed output inside the DAW itself. It could be to reduce the load on the CPU, or to implement some creative ideas (like reversing the audio). In this video we go through the two methods to do this. 14. How to Export from Cakewalk Not only in the end of the production, we might have to export the project out of Cakewalk for different reasons (like for collaborating and all). In this video, we go through almost all of them along with the final export to get a streaming ready file. And that is the end of the absolute basic stuff needed to be understood to make music in Cakewalk. I'll still be uploading videos to the same Playlist, but they will not be numbered episodes as they don't need to be seen in order. Regards - AdK (Until I finalise my artist name) ______________________________________ PS - Making Tutorials is not the only thing I do in my channel. My primary goal is to inspire new comers to produce music with Cakewalk & other freeware. Cheers..!

Played all three of my saxes on this one. Keys are Fishman midi guitar, Sweetcase piano. PJ bass, es135 guitar , Ezdrummer3

Thanks for recommending this. I just purchased it to get the deconvolution feature . Also, I just tried to use the BF code at checkout. It worked for me. Good price ($5) C2

maybe it's a permission issue to the file or folder? the INI file is in the C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core folder. rename it so you can recover it if necessary. what is the VST you're trying to record? of course running Windows 7 may be a bit long in the tooth nowadays as well...

The only thing I regret Arturia doing is buying the rights from Martinic for his freebie Vox Continental and Farfisa organs—two of the great freebies of all time (especially the Vox).

no, you don't have any effects except overdrive / distorsion with Tonex

The only thing I dislike is their computer based authorization. It happened more than once that I lost the authorization. Also, probably I would buy more stuff, if it was not that pricy!

first lp - -abba the album first rock lp - status quo on the level

love it.jack c

Run Installation Center Opus 1.4.2 / Nov 30, 2023 Audio drop out in offline rendering (specially in Cubase at lower buffer sizes) - fixed Up & down arrows in Tune/ Coarse (only older libraries) - fixed Hang after removing MIDI tools (MIDI Echo) - fixed

If you search the topic for "2dat" you'll find some posts about this. Such as: Apparently, DiscoDSP forked the original source code and based their version on that.

I saw this when you mentioned it in the "Show us your booty" thread so I've been demoing it. While it might be a bit pricey, IMHO it's the one to beat. It's pretty full-featured. My favorite part is when you want to try out an IR you just drag and drop it. Voila, there it is. No menus, no folder searches, no fuss. It's really well thought out and implemented.

Cracking guitar sounds though.

I was looking at my AudioThing account because I'm wondering about the freebie at ADSR - Wave Box. I checked my account and I can upgrade my "Things Bundle" (??) and pick up the new Voice for only $8.17! (SOLD!) I've maybe bought a couple of the Things in the bundle, but the most were were freebies I think. So check your AudioThing accounts for "offers".... https://www.audiothing.net/bundle/things-bundle/

I have been using Vegas Pro 14 that came with a Humble Bundle several years ago. As a user of DAW's I found after watching a bunch of YouTube videos that I could accomplish everything I needed. To create a live video of our band I took video from multiple phones and multitrack off the board and synced them up and edited it into a nice live band video. I'm going to buy this bundle to get up to v19.
