  1. They finally released the update for beats and it is working great in cakewalk for now.
  2. I use this feature all the time now
  3. I think sidechaining might work wonders. best of luck
  4. I'm using it in camp today for a "found sound' project. My son and i have been listening to too much John cage lol
  5. I also want to emphasize that the mix issue is minor. i loved it as is
  6. I believe you can keep balance and get baas and kick better.
  7. I got Rbass free about 8 years ago, didn't pay WUP until this year and only because I wanted interface update. It still worked fine. Waves rarely makes major changes to software. I would not stress it at all.
  8. I think "best" is not only subjective but will vary based on a number of factors like your skill in sound design and end goals. If your goal is to get out of the box sounds used in modern hit pop songs, Omnisphere is a strong candidate . Serum also goes in that category but will be even more dominant among EDM producers who prefer designing own sounds as opposed to great presets. If a more vintage sound is your goal, one of the many quality emulations of classic synths may be up your alley. Right now my go to synth is Pigments 3. It does everything Serum does and more. Another quality candidate is Vital, which is free and similar to Serum. Another great free candidate is Surge. User interface is kinda blah, but it packs a lot of capability. Bottomline is that best synth is one that is most useful to you. Watch some videos of creators making the type of music you make and see if there is a common denominator. With that said, just because the same products come up often does not mean you must use them to get good results. Experiment and best of luck.
  9. This has a very modern feel to it. Love it. so clean!
  10. This sounds great, but I think the bass and drums should knock a little harder for this type of song. remember, this is dance music. If that thump isn't there, it won't flow with the rest of the songs people are dancing to in the club. You have a great base. just tweak that mix to give a bit more thump. It's making me relax, which is good, but a few tweaks to mix and I will be dancing instead.
  11. Maybe it's he fact that i was brought up on old school reggae, but I don't mind the slightly off notes. it adds a bit of human passion to the song that makes it feel very heartfelt. great job
  12. It has potential but as is, is more effective for mobile imo. Like much of bandlab, it favors convenience and ease of use over power user features.
  13. I have viewed this video. He does a great job. Unfortunately as of the time I posted this, it was not working consistently. I heard the new update works better
  14. And just for clarity, I did not mean that as a slight. I think the target market that the sampler in bandlab is aimed at it is awesome. It's very intuitive and nice for found sound type work
  15. Koala is actually very functional for what it's designed for. It is basically an app version of an sp404. Koala's functionality in sonar would have went a long way in making it more useful to modern pop production. It's not kontakt, but kontakt is useless for what koala does despite being exponentially more powerful.
  16. It's like a stripped down version of koala. It's not bad at all
  17. I got it yesterday. It's pretty extensive. Have not tried in cakewalk yet
  18. Thanks. Tried grace. Decent but workflow is too meh for today's generation. Poise may be an option
  19. Decisions decisions. You all make great points.
  20. I'm trying to make some decisions and i need his deal knowledge.
  21. I remember poise. It is actually free now??
  22. so far in my demo, I noticed two things. Ezbass seems to have custom note mapping unless it's just me Modo sounds fuller. I think i will come down to how valuable I find Toontrack's AI since Modo definitely sounds better
  23. The songwriting aspects of EZbass are kind of impressive. The two instruments sound good. Doe anyone have experience with scaler 2 and ezbass? if scaler 2 functionality is somewhat comparable modo may be better value
  24. that's what makes i tough. just downloaded trial of both
