    Is editor worth the extra money if I'm only interested in using Melodyne for monophonic audio? 

    I was thinking the same thing but right on cue, I loaded up a vocal that had notes show up as greyed out polyphonic sounds but were actually noise. If i had editor i could have just deleted that "note". I have rx but this seemed easier and far more intuitive. Still on fence

  2. I like the idea because I definitely have more faith in buying from software hoarders we know and love like Bapu and Larry than sketchy Russian bots on kvr. At the same time, the same reasons I would rather buy from people I have posted with for years is the exact same reason Bandlab may have for not opening door to such elements.

    I was supposed to pay $99 for mine - complete with the drums.  But they had a promo code and it dropped the price down to $60.

    Like you, I will keep trying when I have a bit of time to play with it... try to find some videos that go beyond what Kenny shows.

    if I discover anything groundbreaking. I will share

     p  I wish this tragedy brought people together. I thought at the beginning of the pandemic it would, but that's not what's happening. 

    Because everyone wants "everyone to be united....but only on the condition that it's my way" and that's a trait that seems to be equal across the spectrum.

     I think it may be great if all you're looking for is to make (what I call) dance music.

    Oh well... $60 down the drain.  I'll be sure to do a lot more investigating before I buy something else on impulse.

    I know you can do more than dance music. After all, the musical components it creates follow the same music theory rules regardless of genre.  In fact similar products have been shown to be capable of a number of genres. I think it just has an unintuitive workflow that makes EDM the low hanging fruit. I will keep trying since i spent $40(i got version minus drums)

    I bought Captain Plugins last week after watching a video by Kenny Gioia showing how to use it.  Granted, he was working in Reaper but it should work the same way in Cakewalk.  I have managed to make a loop by using his techniques but he didn't go into great detail.  He just gave a simple explanation about how to make a simple loop.

    And also, I haven't been able to figure out how to edit a preset to make my own beats... to change the drum pattern into a different beat than what the presets give me.  For example, change a 4/4 into a 3/4 time signature.

    I also haven't been able to figure is how to insert one of my own samples to replace the default instrument .

    /Bobby

    The drum part didn't even seem appealing, so i skipped and have been ignoring update offers

    My vote goes to Surge.

    Love the background and history, commercial-to-open source, all of that, but I just can't find or create usable sounds with the thing. I always wind up going back to Hybrid 3 or Vacuum Pro and getting what I want very quickly.

    The Orchestral Companions were a great way to get orchestra sounds for cheap 5 years ago, but since Orchestools came out for free, and is a better product both in their own ROMplers and as Sampletank libraries, I don't use them much anymore.

    My son has got me to give Surge another try.  I did find a few usable presets.  I do find that interface unbearable at times

    Captain Plugins. I know it's not really an instrument although it comes with some pretty decent sounds (e.g. Piano Strings) and Beat for drums.

    I just find the UI extremely clunky and unintuitive compared to other similar things and the constant need to "phone home" is also frutsrating.
    There's allegedly a new version out soon so I will keep my fingers crossed for an improved experience.

    I tried to like captain but i always end up going back to scaler

    I was pretty much just into Chromophone, and I originally wasn't going to buy VA3, except that I had already collected quite a few of the AAS player soundbanks for it. Thanks to freebies and bundles. Although I had quite a few other VA synths, I was still intrigued by some of the sounds in the AAS banks, so I jumped!

    I honestly bought Analog VA2 ( and subsequently upgraded to VA3) because I got one soundbank (Low End Theory) and wanted more control.
