Hidden Symmetry

No budget for any of them but I might go to one of the exhibitions, haven't been to London in a while & NYC is right around the corner. Been a Floyd fan since Meddle, saw the original Dark Side tour. Dave is such a tasty player with his iconic style & sound. David-Gilmour Auction

Thanks, I see it now on the channels. I was working in bucket view, would be nice if it was available there as well.

Briefly tested a current project, could be I missed & overlooked features but my first impression is this: I like the concept, the quality of the plugins are good. I could see it useful starting a project from scratch. In my case the problem arises when there's specific plugins needed. It would benefit from having the insert feature that the Scheps Omni has, at least for using other Waves plugins keeping it contained. When a different mfg's is needed (which is usually the case) I find myself frustrated with jumping back & forth to the daws channels, inserts, busses...a workflow killer, not configurable for the signal flow needed. I also wish the buckets were not limited to 8 tracks. I can easily have more than 8 for certain sections like guitars while mixed drums, bass & perc might only have 4 tracks. This also might apply to orchestral sections as well (although I wouldn't typically use ssl for orchestral.) I also thought it would include some type of ssl bus comp that many would typically use on the bucket outputs (groups, busses) & for the mix bus. (solo buttons needed on those bucket outputs as well) If I have more time I'll do a project start to finish , that experience & the final mix will tell me more.

Bad news for PC users if you're not into PACE. It's switching to iLok protection; dongle, cloud or machine based activation. MAC users will have the option of using the original way w/ iLok optional.

Rig To Model technology allows to capture both analog and digital setups. The Rig Player, integrated into TH-U, allows to reproduce any nuance of the sampled rigs.

This allows to mod any amplifier model with an almost limitless combination of tubes and opens the product to new sound capabilities. Learn more at overloud.com/thu

I started with CdBaby when Derek Sivers ran the place & it was great. I used to sell cd's back then & make money. Today I only use them for digital streaming & downloads. The plus for them is there's no annual fee. Here's a guide if you're not familiar the different distribution services. Ari's Take There's BandCamp too, I used it for a while but didn't get much traffic or sales. YMMV

Is there any info on using this?

I need to re-visit Harrison again. I have both Mixbus & 32C but got frustrated with it, haven't used it in several years. I thought about upgrading 32C. Are you using it, has it improved much? I remember it was better for mixing, not so much for midi.

Thanks David. This was just a quick little demo I wrote & recorded one afternoon. The lead voc. was replaced later via the internet.
