That's (most probably) right - unless you want to do something wacky with it. I've got this library and full Kontakt, but (for my use of Riff Generation) it wouldn't make a difference if I just had the player. (Full Kontakt does open a whole new world of sounds and freebies though - but then that just leads to needing higher capacity disks 😜)

Reminds me of a video I was watching about orchestral instruments a while ago - this particular one was about the celeste; the guy just kept calling it a 'chelest'.

I bought the Samplitude Suite a few years ago as I wanted Sound Forge (v11 at the time) and the cost of the bundle was less than that of Sound Forge. I've seen the deal pop up a few times since then - do the newer versions of Sound Forge have any compelling features/reasons to upgrade?

Question is: will the full price exceed their currently most expensive plugin (bx_console Focusrite SC, $349)? Makes no difference to me: I have enough EQs, and I don't think I can hear a clear difference between them; but then that's just me.

Completely agree - especially as they let you deactivate the pre-Windows-update activations.

Also, how big is the factory library? I can only find RAM requirements on their website.

Is the licencing as flakey as AD2? It's not really a biggy - just mildly annoying.

I really do admire how there can be a company that breaks software compatibility with every new release, break hardware compatibility with every few releases, and yet still manages to get so many people to buy new $1000+ phones.

Flip between them repeatedly and you get Everyday I Love You Less and Less by Kaiser Chiefs

Make that Amin to Emin, and you've got Losing my Religion by REM

These guys apparently do https://www.thediceshoponline.com/dice-sets/153/-dice-sets If you're feeling adventurous, they have 12 sided dice (one for each note in the scale); for the really adventurous, they even have 120 sided dice!

So it might be worth waiting to see if there's a sale later on (e.g. Black Friday/Christmas)?

Just out of interest, do you mean the BEO or the JEO?

Is $49 the regular price for Scalar 1?

The big one is usually the Winter sale, around Black Friday and Christmas

It sort of already has that, in that you can expand the stock plugins in the console to get a mini view of their controls

A quick example made up from a blank Cakewalk project: notice the drums and guitar icons, just below the faders

To be able to put a small picture to visually describe each track strip within the mixing console; a feature was introduced in Sonar for a while now

Track icons on the console would be nice too...

Anyone know if DeluxeBucks have an expiry period? I don't shop from AudioDeluxe that often and I'm wondering whether I should use them up as soon as possible, or whether to hang onto them for a bigger discount somewhere down the line.

Is an IK Multimedia UNO Synth out of the question? (€199.99 excl. VAT) https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/unosynth/?pkey=unosynth Disclaimer: I've never seriously looked for a hardware synth, so I have no idea what's classified as a 'good' one.

Don't know quite how you did it, but you somehow managed to make Studio One look like Visual Studio PS. I know how to change the colours - I've just never made it look like VS

I never quite understood why people would want a case sensitive file system though - to me it makes no sense why it would be beneficial for readme, Readme, README, and ReadMe to be completely different files. I get it for programming variable names; not so much for file names.

Nah... He's about to tune a very big piano
