That's what I've been looking ffor a long time: a good and free Jensen Cabinet IR Thanks.

Have a great time!

Make sure you have internet access. Open Cakewalk and click "help" at the top of the screen. Log into Bandlab and close. I moved my DAW pc to my house last night to reactivate. (no internet where my studio is) Opened Cakewalk and immediately got a splash screen to log into Bandlab. Looked around a little in Bandlab then closed it. Thats all it takes to reactivate CbB. ms (there are 3 other threads on This Page about activating CbB)

From the title, I thought you were visiting France ? Have a great time, Larry!

Too expensive. I have exactly $193.01 to spend. I started with $200 but downloaded an MP3 album for $6.99. A symphonic metal band from Sweden featuring four girl singers that does epic covers of 80's-era American Top 40 hits. Couldn't resist.

?

Did anyone have trouble getting this newest bank? I click to "get" it in the Analog Lab browser, but nothing happens. I was able to download other banks, so it's really just the Vintage bank.

What? The forecast in The D calls for a high of 7 and you decide to leave??? Hell yeah, you leave! Wish we we going, too! Enjoy the Sun and sea, Larry.

Windows updates, driver updates etc. can cause changes. Installing new software or applications can also cause issues. The best way to check what is causing it is to use Resplendence Latencymon to check for things that could be causing dropouts. Also, knowing what your audio interface is, the driver model used and bit depth and sample rate you are using can help people help you trouble shoot.

Have a good trip

Enjoy!!!

Nice buddy! Have a blast! Get that connecting flight!

Installed!

I'd add Ringo Starr in there. While not as technically proficient as the others, his impact can not be denied.

Another jazzy funky one with my tenor and soprano saxes, strat, fretless jazz bass and Ezdrummer3.

Greetings friends! I trust we're all having a good new year My musical project Disconnected Souls have dropped our 2nd music video in support of our upcoming album on the 19th of January. This track is definitely one of our heavier ones but there's lots of electronics and other quirky elements to it also. As always Cakewalk is what makes it all happen ❤️ If you get chance to check it out then I hope you enjoy! Best wishes, ~Fletch~

Look in the Analog Lab Store, and filter by Free. A few new ones showed up recently:

Hello , here's a new instrumental I'm finishing up. I rarely play mandolin or cello but enjoy playing both . Thought I'd do a no pressure instrumental in between vocal songs. Yairi acoustic , "A'"style mandolin and cello used. Kick was built from finger tapping a 15" speaker and percussion (some of it reversed) from tapping and slapping a guitar body. TTS brush kit and additional percussion used. I finally got to use the "whoo" in TTS in a couple of spots. All suggestions for improvement are welcomed . Thanks .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14708495

Hello one and all. A recent & previously published work now featuring my long time friend and collaborator Homestudio Kurumin (Marcelo) on drums. Download a free copy if you like. Dean. Thank you

As someone who engineered and oversaw production on HDDs that statement is 100% NOT TRUE. YouTube is rife with idiots, so be very careful as to what you read/watch, and never assume you are an expert because you read something online. A HDD head literally flies roughly 1 micro-inch from the platter, so even a molecule of tobacco smoke can rip the head off (that is 100% true, and why de-lidding them voids any warranty). However, that does nothing to the data on the platter (with the small exception for where the head impacted). Once the hysteresis curve has been set, the platter will maintain data until another magnetic field overdrives that. The platters are basically optical flats with an oil coating on them, so you could also optionally use a degreaser on them and spray them with acid to prevent a head read (rust the crap out of them). Unless you have data on your drives that will get you sent to prison, it is sort of moot anyway; no one else but law enforcement is going to waste the time trying to get data off of old drives. We had an engineer that would play games and de-lid drives then run them on his desk to see how long they would run before the heads crashed, it actually took a lot longer than we expected.

Physics.

Clicked, then it crashed each time I tried to access a preset. After a couple fails, it finally worked. Voodoo or something, i dunno.

It seems it can be done via drag and drop.

I use Tree File Size Free to see what clogs up disk space. VSTs take up little space. It's when you start looking at their presets. 256gb drive just won't do it anymore. Plus there is also non DAW software installed. Wave table synths with presets will eat up a drive. Another clogger is Live if you allow auto updates. I've had to delete those installers left behind. I keep telling myself not to fall for those Komplete upgrades. I almost went for the CE version but you acquire a lot of Maschine libraries. The biggest culprit is Reason with sample based REs. For some the makelink fails. I don't bother with it. At some point developers need to do things that a user should never have to do. I've seen some people fix NI's issues that developers need to fix.

No prob here.

I have the same problem with Vintage bank.

Ok John, Apologies, I thought your problem had transmogrified into an installation problem in the middle of the thread. I'm sure it will be an easy solution. ?

Thank you for your answers but you should really read the OP where all of this is explained. If you read all I have said, this is not an installation issue. It's an Authorization issue. And as I said in the OP they were working for at least a month.

I was a School Bus driver and one day we showed up at work and one whole indoor parking bay was full off pallets all piled with all the old computers from the entire school district. Possible 300 computers or more. I asked the manager what they were going to do with them and he said they can’t scrap them until all the hard drives were removed and destroyed. I made them a deal. I’ll do it for free and salvage rites. There were a lot of those little coloured Macs that are rounded I think they call them Bondi’sThere we’re a million IBM think things. Big huge Commodore tank’s Servers and so on. They let me use the garage space. I set up a table and with a powered Philips screw driver, and a hammer I proceeded to disembowel them all. The tech guy said all had been wiped and most stuff had been on the servers. But the hard drive needed to be destroyed. They were mostly 10 GB anyway. I simply hit the end with a hammer which knocked the circuit board off the bottom. I kept a few of the new 40 GB data drives. I think 60 GB was the biggest you could get back then 1998? But I managed to remove a lot of RAM and put it on eBay. I made over $1,500 on RAM alone. Especially the stuff from the old servers. I also re imaged the little apples and sold them to happy people for $20 each. Turns out Apple parts fit in PC so more RAM and weird stuff that I made a few buck on too. I kept a Mac Server. It was a beast. I rebuilt a bunch of the little IBM boxes as well and because of the collection of parts they were good little office computers I sold complete with keyboard mouse and monitor for $40. But a lot of perfectly good stuff went to recycling. At a certain point sales fell off.

@David Baay Velocity (as with all MIDI CC) has a 0-127 range. If you dbl-clik on a MIDI vol fader it will reset to 101. If you dbl-clik on an audio fader it will reset to 0dB. Only RPN/NRPN values have bipolar values (-8192 to +8192, zero null) like pitch wheel.

$63 for me. I already own all but Thematic Horns and Soaring High Strings. So I get the same 35% off on the upgrade cost of $98. Purchased!

I owned a music store for 12 years so I’m a huge fan of only shopping in real music stores. But they were always 250 miles away. I’d load up on my Daddario strings so I wouldn’t run out. I noticed they sell them on Amazon and I bought a set for my classical guitar and they seemed low quality??? I then learned that they are not the same ones you get in a music store. They are fakes made in China. I bought those cheap acoustic squares a few years ago and they make great packing for gig suitcases! You’ll see them in a lot of videos. Have you considered a nice thick set of drapes? A band I was in once practiced in a garage and he had scored these old theatre curtains which he would close to cover the door and his messy toolbench. That and an orange shagg carpet and the acoustics were pretty good.

Here's a different take: what they are good at is cutting corners to lower the cost of manufacture. Long before China was flooding the world with cheap garbage, they were subcontracting for North American and European manufacturers. Working for foreign companies who stressed one prime directive: make it cheaply. Since that was their bread 'n butter, that became the nexus of their collective expertise. Chinese engineers learn the same stuff in school as everybody else, so it's not like they suffer from mass incompetence. Every engineer learns the concept of "high quality, on-time, or cheap; pick two". When a trusted high-end brand such as Telefunken hired them to increase the profit margin for microphones, the engineers were given a clear mission - make an existing product that looked the same but was cheap to manufacture. So they did. They came up with a microphone that looked exactly like a $3000 Telefunken but cost under $100 to make. Unfortunately, it did not sound like a Telefunken and when users tore them down they found that the guts of the mic were far inferior to the German-made original. You could in fact buy the same exact microphone under a Chinese brand for $150. It was the greedy executives at Telefunken who were the villains of that story. The only thing that's changed is that the Chinese got smart and cut out the middle man, instead selling their cheap crap directly to consumers. Amazon made that possible.

Thanks Promidi. I reinstalled the driver and the problem hasn't showed it's head yet so I think I may be out the woods. Cheers my friend!

To me, in rock, the list always boils down to two names: Bonham and Peart. And I cannot really choose between them. If the list extends any further, then it's all debatable. Starr, Watts, Paice are among the first names to come to mind obviously. Phil Collins, too, although maybe not for this top 5 list. I'm not a fan but I do get that Moon would be on the list - on the other hand, Phil Rudd of AC/DC would be on my list, which only testifies to personal preferences. Not sure I'd put him on the top 5 list, but still...

My vote:

If it doesn't have to be this set of consoles and you are open to other options, maybe one of the console emulations from this package is good enough? And it's also cheaper. ? https://shop.presonus.com/Retro-Mix-Legends

Aside from the technicalities, this is a very easy song to listen to and admire. This is something that I may look into as my hands get stiffer with age. What an amazing, creative mind you have, Bjorn!

Hi Bjorn I like this - i do agree with the comments re the midi guitar - getting midi to sound authentic can be very difficult i think However it didn't take away from a very enjoyable listen for me Cool Nigel

Having the Complete Melda Bundle had taken all the joy out of getting free with purchase Melda plugins :(. Oh well.
