I'm glad I bought the full bundle, plus Timeless, for $498 back on 07/19/2013. I've enjoyed over a decade of pleasure using these plugins. That is 3931 days to date, or 12.668532180106843042482828796744 pennies per day for you penny pinchers. I think I am going to get R2 while its 58% off and probably going to upgrade to Volcano 3 while it's 75.5% off.

Just ordered a Softube Control 1 Channel. Will come in handy for all those lovely FabFilter delights.

How did I not hear this guys before? The short answer is the current powers that be on the internet are so busy shoving a bunch of meaningless non nutritious music and second rate performances on everybody it has become almost impossible to find a real influential musical genius from the past that happens to be the real deal . In the mid 70's onward Lenny Breau was held in high regard amongst many of the absolute best guitar players from that era . Lenny recorded duet albums with Chet Atkins ..As a Jazz player Lenny recorded and did a film documentary with Tal Farlow . Lenny also had a robust musical background and for those that don't know it Lenny was single-handedly responsible for having been the earliest guitar player to utilize the cascading harmonic arpeggio effects most people have come to associate with Tommy Emmanuel ... Sort of like what Van Halen did with tapping For the record Lenny was playing them every bit as good as what Tommy does in today's era ... When Cher' was doing a concert in my area ( mid 70's ) I met her guitar player and many of her back up band .They were staying at a hotel and I spent hours with her guitar player jamming with him . He taught me the correct tech on how to play those cascading harmonic arpeggios . Lenny also became one of the first 7 string guitar players playing unaccompanied solo Jazz Performances . Sometime in the late 70's going into the 80's . IIRC Aria made a 7 string classical guitar model as his signature guitar . The depth of Lennys talent was very deep ,Yet like many super talented musicians from that era Lenny had succumbed and entered into the tempestuous allure of heroin addiction ....He braved on and still performed but unfortunately his life ended when he was murdered .. to this day his murder is still unsolved . all the best Kenny

This is a bit different style of music than my usual posts - but- every once in a while you gotta try something different ----- don't you? This song presents a dark bit of social observation. Hopefully, it also has a bit of encouragement that is not too preachy. It also might be appropriate for our chaotic world situation. It is not intended to be political or present any particular political position! It simply ask that we just examine how we treat each other. OK, now that my disclaimer is done --- I would very much appreciate any comments, Crit.'s, suggestions, etc. I do have a concern that the lead guitar might be competing too much with the lead vocal. Thanks in advance for listening! HATE https://www.soundclick.com/freddyj

It's Sunday morning for the rest of the world, but Friday night for me. Meaning I get to relax, listen to music and look up stuff on YouTube. I am embarrassed to admit I'd never heard Lenny Breau before now. But I'm even more embarrassed to have referred to myself as a guitarist...

Check if your samplepath is doubled on the settings. I had the same issue and deleting the copy was the solution.

Here's Loot Audio with prices close to the others (at least in USD): https://www.lootaudio.com/category/plugins/fabfilter Comes out cheaper than the KVR with coupon (for me at least) and slightly cheaper than JRR with coupon. EDIT: This seems to be product dependent. I've noticed this to be true especially with Loot Audio. Sometimes they have a great price and sometimes it's terrible even for the same sale.

I never payed it much attention... till you said something!! And I agree. But just by a tad. Great song overall. Well produced and played. Singing was very good and up front. Except for the snare that I can't un-hear now!!! : )

I like that sound

OS upgrades always give you the option to keep all files and settings or to nuke them. Myself before I would do this I would spend $50 on a 500 GB ( or??) SSD drive and clone your current system. Samsung has a free app the Magician that I’ve used a few times now that works perfectly for this.

I use a similar app called SonoBus. It has a lot of tweaking you can try to bring the latency down.

The difference there is a musician can be a player and support the song or you can be the one delivering the song. The best gig I ever had was for 4 years I was an activity worker in a care home. I played my guitar every day and sang old songs. This is we’re I learned it’s more about the lyrics to the old songs than the music. Even though I was capable of soloing I never did. The focus was always the chorus. An example was we brought in these friends of mine who had a jazz quartet and they played old standards but no vocals. There was no reaction from the residents. When I did the sing alongs everybody reacted and most tried their best to sing along. We also learned lyrics sheets were a waist of time for all but the few who were still at that level. You might not remember the name of your daughter but you can sing the chorus to Home on Range

Teletone is one hell of a remarkable dev.

OK the best price so far is now EveryPlugin Wallace you beat me to it ?

MStereoSpread is worth a quick mention here. Unlike MStereoProcessor, which was offered last week and tailors existing stereo material (but won't generate it), MStereoSpread will generate stereo via either classic delay or via Melda's spectral generator. The spectral generator shifts frequency content randomly to one speaker while compensating the other, which allows for things to sit in the "same space" yet avoid frequency collisions (in a stereo field). Caveat to this is the spectral generation will always collapse to mono perfectly, so be sure to consider that (and frequency collisions) depending on intended playback systems.

That's where you and I differ. Lyrics have always been important to me. There are songs that still make me cry on the spin of a lyric. This is especially true when I know that lyric comes from a place of pain. My own lyric writing has always been painful. Sometimes laying bear your emotions or revealing a side of yourself that you usually keep hidden. It's like standing naked before the crowd. And it's this laying bear of the soul that I've got to stop. It's self destructive and brings me no joy anymore.

Run the Pulse Downloader to update

Ok...first impressions...it's kinda cartoony looking, rather than having the polished look that Cakewalk/Sonar had. It's virtually the same program, just not as "robust" for lack of a better term, in a less aesthetic, but more HDPI friendly UI

It's out! Thanks, everyone...

I make my living doing music, and nothing but music. That involves compromises, what to play, where to play, and so on. But to me, the ultimate compromise is to take a 5-day, 40 hour, proletarian, wage-slave job so I can play 'art music'. I can do commercial gigs, and still play 'art music' on the side. And I really enjoy the gigs, too. Notes ♫

I often feel the same way. My main musical goals now are: have some fun (but honestly this comes and goes) learn something new (currently trying to write a klezmer piece) stay out of trouble (idle hands are the devil's playmate) be part of something bigger then myself (you can see some of my transcriptions for my guitar ensemble here) leave a legacy for my grandkids (I don't want my ancestry.com entry to be empty)

With more information than you would ever want to read about St. Pete. https://baselines.com/?p=7020 I wonder when I go, will I beg, will I plead for mercy or just accept my fate? Over the hill the pearly gates await, And there I'll stand my hat in hand Hey Peter Please, St Peter put a good word in for me. Please, have mercy, don't deny my woeful plea . I'll stoop and wash your feet, anoint your toes with the finest oil, or my tears if you prefer. I'd walk on water for you if I could I'd fill your fishing nets with bountiful rewards and even more Please, St Peter put a good word in for me. Don't deny my final plea ============================================= I've tried to be a rock that rolls with temptations and the trials and tribulations, that He sees fit. But the road to Heaven is filled with potholes Can I have another chance? Please kind sir can you give me one more chance? Peter one more - only one more chance? Only one more chance I beg of you. ============================================= I've tried to be a rock that rolls with temptations and the trials and tribulations, that He sees fit. But the road to Heaven is filled with potholes Can I have another chance? Please St Peter can you give me one more chance? Only one more chance I beg of you.

Exactly the problem I’m having. Grrr….

Yeah - I think the Pulse downloader may be my least favorite and most problematic download engine.

And still no way to download without installing…

Oh, I'm sure they test it. But they are testing in-house installations with no network-based authentication required. So not a realistic user experience. To paraphrase something one of their developers posted years ago: "American users are just too demanding. They expect too much." My biggest question is how on earth does a license verification routine impact so many facets of a program, e.g. laggy UI and audio. Was it phoning the mothership to get permission for every sample? "We have to crack down on these pirates, they're making us look bad."

1 AFAIK the code only works on the Hybrid Sub. 2. The perpetual license will run all your old V5 plugins to the best of my knowledge as they are still the same

We're not going down this road again, are we? Please don't.

And they DEFINITELY need a better navigation method for their website...it's HORRENDOUS!

If I'm understanding the information on the PreSonus forum's Studio One 6.6 thread correctly, the 6.6 update more strictly enforces the standards for VST3, which caused problems for a few 3rd party plugins that did not follow the VST3 standards closely enough. So far, PreSonus is taking the stance that it is up to the affected 3rd parties to bring their VST3 plugins up to the standards. I believe at least two of them have already issued updates to their plugins which enable them to work as expected with S1 6.6.

THANK YOU!

My big deterrent from doing this was that I thought you couldn't upgrade the given Perpetual License, and were basically back to "square one", but since Solidos pointed out that you CAN upgrade that Perpetual License this became a no brainer

I paid the extra $10 and went the Thomann route because it allowed me to use Paypal. I'm not fond of giving my CC information to companies...and I can use 4 pay!

Sorry but that is wrong information. Audio levels are set at the audio interface before it is converted to digital and sent to your Daw. You can turn the track gain right off and the recording level will not change. As you set the levels on your Interface with the track in record standby the track meter should match what the meter on the interface is showing. This is true of ASIO system. On board audio there’s Windows volume mixer involved. Possibly your friend did not check there and make sure they are using ASIO mode. Oh wait a minute did you say Bandlab the cell phone app?? Or are you saying Cakewalk by Bandlab

This approach to modelling had been driving crazy until I realized, that any profile can be easily tweaked to one's heart content. Although there is a difference between the real signal chain capture and a tweaked preset, it is so miniscule and negligible, that it's easier to just use, say, three presets from one profile than to endlessly sort profiles, looking for the perfect combination.

The only way to do that would be to have purchased and registered a SN for a version from X1[2,3] through Platinum. You can still log into the legacy servers to DL the installers and then enter your SN to activate without calling home periodically. Otherwise... you are SoL. But considering the massive improvements in function of CbB/Sonar since those days, I personally would never go back to using an antique.

I am sick of chasing tones. All of this innovation has given me option paralysis. I've found myself going back to Scuffham S-Gear for anything that doesn't require high gain. Gets me back to music and out of the software race. And I've got just about every amp sim under the sun. YMMV.

So....every other month it drops down to $69? SampleTank 5 must be on its way soon. It's a great package, I snagged it for $49 using Jam Points, direct from IK. Yes, it includes a lot of duplicate stuff you don't need, but that's because it covers so much ground. You don't have to install everything. SampleTron 2 and Syntronik 2 alone are worth the ticket price. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is also of value to anyone who wants to get started with orchestral stuff. A buddy of mine snagged it just to get Neil Peart Drums. Miroslav was the primary target for me, but the hidden gem was SampleTron. If you've ever wanted to play around with the oddball libraries that most 'tron clones omit, they're here, lo-fi sfx and all. Also, to my delight, a vast Optigan library, including some great lo-fi loops.

https://www.softube.com/essentials-collection "No-brainer" gets thrown around a lot, but this is one of the most no-brainery no-brainers I've seen yet.

Done!

I've had FedEx pretend to make a delivery attempt (especially on Fridays). Particularly annoying when you're waiting all day specifically not to miss delivery. I've had a USPS driver throw a computer case out of the truck. UPS once dropped a machine from chest-level to pavement - right in front of my client (I spent several hundred dollars to overnight this machine for a session with BB King's daughter). Amazon normally does well... but many times an item won't ship (or it's been delayed or lost). The best way to prevent shipping damage is to keep things completely immobile. That's why (as crazy as it sounds), we pack both the inside AND outside of all DAWs (double boxed). Haven't had any shipping damage in years.

Cubase 13 Pro crossgrade is still $209 at BestService . Looks like a better deal now. Wish Presonus announced this while the $20 BS coupons were still good.
