The Cali Coast trip was AMAZING! What a beautiful world the Lord has made! I sailed up the coast from LA to Vancouver, visiting Santa Barbara, Montecito, San Francisco, Astoria, Victoria B.C., and Vancouver B.C., then took the Amtrak Cascades from Vancouver to Seattle and did some sightseeing! I visited the Space Needle, Chihuly Glass Museum, Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle Aquarium, Pike Place Market, and LOTS of photos... MoPop had a LOT of celebrity Guitars and memorabilia, and even the Console owned by Hendrix. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.25932716416319432&type=3

Sorry to see him go - hopefully his talent will float around and be picked up by a new baby today. https://baselines.com/?p=7016

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.

Review: https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2024/04/23/ostirus/ D/L: https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/ostirus-downloads/ Note: As with all previous releases, the emulator itself is free. However, you do have to provide a legally acquired Virus Ti firmware file to make the most of it. If you can swing that, you’re in for one of the best softsynths in recent memory.

Hi We just launched the sixth track off our Kiss of Storms album. It’s called Consternation. Sorry about the age restriction issue - YouTube got all uptight about something once again but I honestly could not be bothered to fight them yet again - I think my next song should be about censorship in the 2020's!!!! If anyone spots something in the Video that they think could be the reason why Youtube age restricted the video and also blocked comments, I would love to know. Anyway, I hope you are all old enough to watch it 😎 and I Hope you enjoy it. You can see the lyrics here https://devinelie.com/kiss-of-storms/consternation/ And the whole album is available on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/27iKYYjlWOT2Ku0ltzSEKB We’ve updated our website as well – we’ve got our own store now where you can get music and merchandise!! https://devinelie.com

Just trying out EZY Keys, really good toy so thanks Lynn 😉 THE REMIX IS BELOW

As a moderator there I can say it's a very friendly group and we rarely have any trouble. Just like this place 🙂

https://www.westwoodinstruments.com/roots/ I've Bapu'd it and can vouch for its usefulness for evolving dark ambient and cinematic textures. I'd say that between this and Soundpaint's free libraries, you've got ambient drone-in-box. And it looks as if Westwood will be doing what others have started doing and releasing future free Player instruments in this line, so sign up for their newsletter if you want to stay informed. Kontakt-aware peeplz: did NI change the licensing for Player instruments recently? Because I'm starting to see a LOT more Player-compatible instruments for free. It used to be that the creator of any Player-compatible instrument had to cough up a fee to NI for doing so. Has that been relaxed? If so, good idea, because it's an excellent way to raise interest in Kontakt. Always has been, they just botched it. I wouldn't have installed or been aware of Kontakt if it hadn't been for DrumMic'a back in the day. Unfortunately, Sennheiser eventually decided it wasn't worth it and stopped issuing licenses. DrumMic'a was both an excellent free drum instrument and also worked for its intended use as a showcase for Sennheiser's line of microphones.

Run Native Access to update List of changes too long to copy

Dissenting view: There are plenty of people here who disagree with this statement. But, as usual, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

The Lovely Lady and I began our journey together. To paraphrase the McDonalds tag line "still lovin' it".

Yes, 3.0 will be a paid upgrade. Not even trying v2 is sad. One of the only VSTs I think is actually worth the money (perhaps more valuable to someone like myself with decades of playing guitar but limited keyboard use)

Hey, staying an absolute lurker for 4 years and breaking your silence to say thanks is a nice step.

Spring20 voucher still up 69$ with voucher

how far will you go when everything that matters is gone? comments welcome.

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

Definitely get an audio interface with ASIO drivers. It'll save you a lot of headaches.

Meh. I ordered the full TONEX Pedal today. Got 30% off using JambPointz and used Paypal interest free if paid in 6 months. When it arrives do I get to say Installed! ??!!??

Check it out: ROOTS a New FREE Instrument Series From Westwood Instruments So from my understanding Native Instruments is not charging developers for FREE Kontakt 7 instruments up to a certain number of serial keys. I think this is definitely a move on Native Instrument’s part to help encourage users to use Kontakt 7. A heads up would be to keep your eyes looking across the pond for another amazing free instrument, but don’t stare too long as you wouldn’t want those baby blues to get “Fractured”. 😎 See you Thursday

What is this "Facebook" thing you're referring to? Is it some kind of cult?

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...

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

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

Works on Originals, though, which isn't always the case in more general Spitfire sales. Epic Choir is now mine!

SUCCESS! The package got delivered, albeit left at an unused door. I only found out it was there by checking the tracking page, which said it had been delivered. While walking around the house looking for it, had fingers crossed that it had actually been delivered to the correct address. It was, and the box was mostly undamaged. Nothing like a new toy to take the edge off one's fury.

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

I cancelled....that's just ridiculous

It appears so. On the other hand, the promotion is set to run through the middle of May. Never say never, they say.

Yup, that's the magic word. I'm OK with it if it's in the name of quashing spam. I hate spammers far more than I hate, um, you-know-who.
