I wonder if they did this in response to feedback from their recent survey asking for honest opinions about what users love/hate. Either way, it's a very welcome update. Thanks NI!

Just out of curiosity, are you replacing all of your dongled plugins, or moving towards computer hardware based plugin tethering?

If you have purchased any of the qualifying products (see link), you'll get a $50 discount. As the price is $149.99, and you can only discount up to 30% with jam points, I don't think it's worth using your jam points if you have the discount. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=9880 As it's a new product, it's unlikely to be greatly discounted during BF; you never know though.

W H O O P S !

Mine had that. I suspected that there would be some kind of special offer following shortly (as they usually don't combine monthly vouchers with discount-sales), and I was right...

Thanks for the video @Zo - really great walkthrough of the plugin. You mention that it's really great for laying ideas down quickly, to capture the sound in your head before you forget it - would you also consider using it in the mixing stage too? You mention some other racks that you have that are admittedly more expensive, but are you more likely to use those during mixing?

I think I remember someone saying that the BYOME presets sound slightly different in TRIAD. Just something to be aware of.

There's a guy sitting there, doing nothing but just staring intensely at his packet of orange juice. His friend comes along and asks what he's doing. The guy explains he's following the 'instructions' on his juice packet: concentrate --- There's a guy at the water dispenser with a cup underneath the water nozzle, shouting and swearing at the machine. Someone comes along and asks if there's a problem with the machine. The guy casually explains that he's trying to get some water - the instructions say depress button to dispense water

But the good news is that if you completely replace your previous hard drive, you now have a hard drive (i.e. your old one) that you can use to back up your sound files

They have a free rack, Snap Heap, that lets you do effects-chains and serial/parallel processing. The value of Multipass is that it does frequency band splitting, meaning that along with their free Stereo snapin, you could something similar to what products such as Boz's Mongoose, or iZotope's O8A Imager module do; if you have any of their dynamics processor snapins, you could do multiband compression. As with everything though, YMMV.

... or it's a B7 on the wrong set of strings

Think you might be onto something Ed - I reckon he's gone to fix up the Web shop in person 😁

How about an Excel Drum Machine? (no, that isn't my video)

Great chance to save on some really good libraries, even more so if you make use of their Four-for-Three offer. Includes an introductory offer on the new library Guitar Swell. Sale ends 25 October https://insessionaudio.com/

Have you tried either GROUP, or FORUM? 😁

Best of luck, Larry

On the subject of plugin racks, I think Kilohearts have a nice concept too: the Snap Heap host/rack is free, and allows for serial/parallel processing. It comes with six basic plugins, and you can buy the others individually/in bundles as you need them. Each of the plugins can be used on their own, or in Snap Heap, or in (their paid-for synth) Phase Plant.

Zero-G has a chart to describe the difference between the various Ethera titles https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1890/5447/files/Ethera-Collection-Chart-2.01.pdf?v=1590154162

At least there's a placeholder site though... even if it does just say temporarily unavailable

This may sound sarcastic, but I really don't mean for it to be: they do have left handed guitars, e.g. a Yamaha Pacifica 112JL Wind controllers are cool too though

https://www.magix.com/gb/music/sound-forge/sound-forge-pro/ Included as part of this offer Convology XT Complete (£399 value) MAGIX Analogue Modelling Suite Plus (£129.99 value)

Is Convology XT any good? I'm seeing an upgrade to the latest Sound Forge Pro that has Convology XT Complete and MAGIX Analogue Modelling Suite Plus thrown into the bundle, and just wondering if that actually adds good value.

They're mechanical disks and even though they're USB3, I think you'll feel a little regret if you use it as your samples drive. Might be good as an extra backup drive though.
