  1. AUDIOBRO SILVER Free inspiration… for free! A free and growing library offering five master instruments and a wide collection of Kontakt/NKS presets. What is SILVER? SILVER is a free, creative, growing collection of sounds. It started off as a deeply-sampled tongue drum, but we kept adding more and more diverse sounds to the library until we could create entire tracks with just this free tool. Listen to the demos for a few examples of what is possible. Silver is SIMPLE, DIVERSE, and FUN! It’s quick to load and packed with presets to get you started. It runs inside the free Kontakt Player and is NKS-compatible. The instruments (so far): Silver Tongue – a multi-dynamic tongue drum played with hands, soft mallets, and metal mallets. It includes Round Robin, unmuted and muted, isolated tongue tines as well a controllable resonance (“Reso”) Bowls – multi-dynamic hand-played bowls with Round Robin, slaps, mutes and semi-mutes Pads – Guitar Suspense, Slow Guitar Suspense, Strings Harmonics, Tongue Bells, Far Bells, Analog Wide, Analog Simple, Analog Zap Basses – Attack Bass, Attack Bass Monophonic, Simple Bass, Simple Bass Monophonic Electronic Drum Kit – A collection of General MIDI drums with various snares, kicks, rims, claps, and all the other regulars: hats, toms, crashes, tambourine, etc. SILVER is a “living library” and we will be updating with more instruments and samples as time goes by. https://audiobro.com/SILVER/

  2. $29 intro price WE ARE BACK WITH A NEW PLUGIN The VCE-118 is a unique dynamics tool based on the breakthroughs that occurred in the advent of VCA technology in the early Seventies. Its reputation as a secret weapon lies in its special ratio implementation, which enables both compression and expansion, combined with its special linear mode as a powerful fuel for bending dynamics as a creative effect. Naturally, the VCE-118 provides the ultimate punchy compression known from early VCA compressor flagships like the famous 160. But it doesn't stop there, since its expanded dynamic range surprises with intriguing effects reminding of gates and transient shapers. Linear mode can take this even further with sonic escapades like heavily pumping beats or dead silent ambience. The plugin is on introductory sale for only $29 ($59 regular) until April 29th, 2024.

  3. Thanks for the insight. I'm coming at this from both the perspectives of someone new to Cubase, and a hobbyist who hasn't done that many orchestration projects. What you're saying does make sense with the parallel of hardware ports in mind, and can see how this could be a useful indicator, especially in larger projects and/or with shorter timescales. And this is an example of why I ask for opinions of those more experienced than I; thanks to all who've contributed.

  4. MIDI in Cubase definitely trumps a lot of DAWs. I've also found that the mixer in Cubase has ruined the experience of mixing in other DAWs. It's such a pleasure to mix in, that the others fall short when I compare them. I love some aspects of Ableton Live for example, but it's falls so short in mixing in comparison. Cubase isn't perfect and from everything I've personal tested, nor are the others, but they do get a lot right in so many ways.

  5. I prefer this, as I use both templates and external hardware FX. Just by taking a split second look at the channel-send section tells me what's being used & the level of each, without having to look at the names. If send 1, 3 & 7 are being used, I know what they are, and if 2, 4 & 8 are blank I know what's not being used. This applies to console view and channel view. This would be a mess if only used sends were stacked on top of one another regardless of Send #. This is also helpful from UI perspective when looking at 100 tracks in the mixer...since all send #s are on a horizontal line. I can just scan that line in the mixer and see everything going to Send #7 on a horizontal line. Same as a hardware mixer. If this wasn't the case it would be a nightmare for solving gain staging issues, especially with complex side-chaining setups. So there are features from hardware that I like having replicated in software. But having it as a simple preference setting would be cool too.

  8. Best sounding virtual grand I've ever played. If you want it, though, you might hold off until MSoundFactory LE comes up in an Eternal Madness or periodic 50% off sale. It comes with every MSoundFactory instrument, which includes Meldway Grand. The Monastery Grand that comes with the free MSoundFactory Player ain't no slouch either.

  11. I bought the Rhodes Electric S but did not find much use for it in my setup. Lots of tweakability but was still hard for me to gel with the overall sound. I eventually settled on the Keyscape Rhodes as a default starting point

  12. Sometimes I want to select 2 or more tracks and hide them (particularly in the Console view.) I select the tracks and click on "hide tracks" with every key combination but it will only hide the track I've clicked on. I know about track manager but it does not solve this need. Thanks

  13. Looks like holding CTRL allows you to quick group "Hide Track" in the Track View, but not in the Console View. I'm on vacation at the moment, but I've let the team know. We should get this fixed.

  17. With the latest issue of Beat magazine you get EDM genius Syntorial Primer. Primer is a soft synth that usually only comes with Syntorial, a sound design learning app. With Beat you don't get Syntorial itself but the synth that's included in Syntorial. Also included: 178 chromatic Percussion- & Drum-Kits for Zampler & Akai MPCs

  20. They were also impersonating Audio Deluxe and some other plugin shops a couple years ago. Back when they couldn't even spell the word "Plugin" correctly. I too reported them, even to PB and they we're gonna report them to Stripe and get their payment processor account taken away.

  21. I love the Capitol Studios Compressor for the master buss. Here is a version of Duke Ellington's song that was covered by Steely Dan on Pretzel Logic. Finally got around to learning the piano part and playing it through at least once in my life. https://baselines.com/?p=6977

  23. @garybrun . . . Thank you for your ears ! . . . yes, I'm the guilty mixer here The vocals are running through a Nectar 3 vocal chain with dynamic EQ, de-esser, saturation, reverb (with rolled off highs and lows), small hint of compression, but it also it uses an Auto Level setting . . . which is very touchy . . . I'll have a closer look at that.

  31. I have the e-instruments Wurli and think it's pretty good. I find it's greatest strengths are in how you can customize the sound with the GUI. Especially for the dead key sound (I think it's the unplugged Wurli key sound that they mix in -- which is what I love so much about the AcousticSamples Wurlie library demos). I've created my own presets turning up that dead key sound that I like more than their presets. But I'd say it's a library I'm really glad I bought. I also bought the 145B from SkyBox Audio which has slightly different characteristics than the 201A -- it's more pristine. I have a bunch of Rhodes libraries, with the Famous E being my favorite and I quite like the freebie Rhodes from Fractured Audio too. @jngnz This was the video that sold me on the W. I'd strongly recommend checking it out.

  35. Weird! I've never even notice this, and I've been mixing 150+ track scoring projects for 2 decades. Now that you've mentioned it, I want this feature!! Although I usually do all my track arranging in the timeline, which then auto updates ordering in the mix console...but would be very handy to be able to do this from console view. Having said that - $600 is a steal for a software of this complexity / feature set, regardless of a few strangely missing features.

  40. I’m not sure where this thinking comes from but my personal view is we were screwed by Gibson who took our money and abandoned us. End of story? It could have been, but an absolutely amazing, unexpected thing happened. Bandlab bought the code from Gibson. Then 2 more things that didn’t have to happen but did were also announced. They kept the original staff and they rebranded the code with a recycled name and made it free. In a way both the Name and the staff made former Sonar people happy but it also creates this problem that somehow a few people think the staff were the same people who took their money and left the building. They were not. And keeping the name adds more confusion for some people. In my opinion they are repeating this mistake by recycling the Sonar name. This will be massively confusing on the internet search engine. Anyhow I see no reason why they should be obligated to cut a deal. As just because you gave your money to a company that screwed you and oddly is still in business doing fine they had zero to do with that. You got 7 years of your moneys worth for free! If Gibson had kept going you might have had lifetime updates but I bet by now they would have wormed their way out of that deal . And who knows how much Sonar would have advanced. We are all in good shape and once they sort out the graphics all will be better than it ever was.

  41. Well, at least if Samplitude users get orphaned, they can always come over to Sonar. Back during the Gibson Troubles, I bought Samplitude and used it for 2 months as a potential Plan B should Sonar unexpectedly come to some horrible end. Of all the DAWs I experimented with during that time, I liked Samplitude best. Mainly because it was the most like Sonar. But their insistence on re-installing that bogus ASIO driver with every update put me off and I said "fudge it, I'll keep using Sonar until it stops working". A couple weeks later the BandLab deal was announced.

  47. I will miss having my blue theme. Perhaps in the future a theme editor will be available. It's not always easy to accept change. I hated when they changed the name from PA, to Sonar. I hated when they introduced something called skylight. Over time I grew to love these things. I'm accepting change with more grace as I age. I believe we will come to embrace the new Sonar, and concentrate on the music, not being distracted by a screen. btw I hated when they came and put a dial on our phone. I had to learn a 7 digit number, rather than tell the operator a 4 digit number to call my Grandpa.
