  1. I doubt that compression is that kind of magic! 😄 Although there is some difference using different compressors, IMHO it is possible to get very similar results with compressors of the same group (vca, fet, opto, ...). Maybe the settings of different makes are not exactly the same. I still use my old DBX 166 from the 80s as recording input limiting/leveling. Frankly, the time when I purchased it I had no idea how to set it up! 😆
  2. By the way there is also a good DBX160 emulation for free: dBComp by AnalogObsession! I really like some of their stuff, great developer!
  3. This is A.I. !!! 😄 Frankly the project saving logic is terribly intransparent, since the change with the automatic folder! There are also problems with the audio copy if you have a project that uses audio clips in and out of the project folder. Thus I usually use the Windows File Explorer to copy the project or the whole directory however it is the idea!
  4. It does not work in ProChannel and if I instantiate the Player as FX, I am able to drop the free library into REmatrix, but there are no presets available! Strange! But now I remember why I dropped REmatrix (except in ProChannel), it has been necessary to authorize the Player itself (crazy, cos it's free!)! And as the only offline authorization for Overloud is an USB stick I passed! With more and more cumbersome authorizations and installations (managers!) I am abstinent to more and more plugin developers! Good for my wallet! 😆
  5. Do you have to authorize the FREE REmatrix Player? I am irritated on their site!

    Yes, I understand your argumets. But are Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Pro Tools really more professional than others? Nowadays, if someone is dominating the market in a certain area, this does definitely not mean that their product is best, is professional! IMHO those 4 companies are technically not professional at all (and one could list a lot of reasons why)! Thus I think your wording has been quite provocative! 😄

    Office 365

    What a lordly statement! 😄 Sorry, that I don't agree! E.g. OpenOffice was really advanced with their file format (much earlier than MS) that allowed to make program-created documents! I clearly remember the trouble when we tried to create MS documents in the IT of a very large company! At that time we would have loved the professional design of OpenOffice compared to the Microsoft patchwork! 😉

    Office 365

    Windows is definitely enough Microsoft for me! 😆 I like to use OpenOffice, it satisfies all my requirements.
  9. Sometimes it is indeed "Nasty Instruments" !
  10. Thanks a lot for the explanation! The only thing that I had expected, was that the focus behavior is exactly the same for left click selection and right rectangular selection. But it seems it is not and I will accept this! As I said earlier the only reason I switched to right rectangular selection is that my hand does not work so precisely and thus with the selection click I often moved the clip a bit and that's fatal!
  11. So it looks like it is a bug. I just re-tried and I can reproduce it very simply: New project, new audio track. Insert any audio clip. Add a single FX plugin. Select the clip with the right mouse button (rectangle over the clip region). Press delete > the FX plugin is deleted! This happens on 2 very different machines, with CbB 2022.11 . It is especially dangerous if the FX area is out of view (e.g. scrolled away)! It's exactly what happened to me several times.
  12. By the way, is it common that you get new keys for the Exponential Audio reverbs and Melodyne Essentials when you upgrade MPS? Or is this only the advantage if you buy the upgrade externally (from JRR instead of iZotope)?
  13. Just purchase the upgrade to MPS 6 on JRRshop for $41.16 (with code GROUP)! You will get a MPS 6 serial that you can enter in the Product Portal of iZotope!
  14. If you go to the site "getmylicense.ca' link" and enter your name/email, then you will get the "real" six serial numbers!
  15. You just have to do this with their Product Portal, that works! And as soon I have installed it on my laptop it appears on my products page.
  16. Before I saw the deal on JRRshop ($41.16) I was on the iZotope site and the update price for MPS 5 to 6 was 253.33 EUR for me!!!! Crazy!
  17. The upgrade from MPS5 is $41.16 on JRRshop (with code GROUP! much better than loyalty offer): https://www.jrrshop.com/izotope-music-production-suite-upgrade-mps-4
  18. Yesterday I noticed the reason for a long time problem: When I selected a clip (or a MIDI note) with the right mouse button and pressed delete, it seemed nothing had happened! But now I found out that although the clip has been selected, the delete focus is still on the plugin that I had opened before and thus the plugin is deleted instead of the clip! Aaaarg! I lost quite some stuff! Selecting the clip with a mouse click instead works as expected (but I have avoided this method because sometimes I moved the clip a little bit unintentionally with my unprecise mouse handling!). My question: Is this intentional behavior that selecting something with the right mouse button does not move the focus?
  19. I agree to your finding. But if you choose export option "Clips" and the clips are just mono, then I think it is odd when the clip gain changes! In this case the pan law or interleave of the track should not affect the export IMHO. If you want that the track affects the export then you can select "Tracks" as export option and just select the time/track matching the clip!
  20. I am a bit jealous if I see the prices you paid! I got it for $40.99 at EveryPlugin (thanks to @cclarry, by the way it's still available for that). But this plugin is worth it in any case, it's simply great! The best channel strip that I ever have bought! I could have saved a lot of money if I had passed on the compressors and so on that it replaces! 😄
  21. I cannot agree, 'cos the channels are a thing of the track and not the clip! It says source selection "clips" and this should not include something from the track IMHO!
  22. I hope "Wasted Space" does not mean the space it takes on the disk! 😆
  23. I guess also that it is only for activation, but as you said it maybe for each 6 months. My music computers are usually offline (one is 100m away from the net) and I don't like to break this rule all the time! I already have to handle some exceptions and that's enough. There is a lot of pain with installers and permanent updates, I don't need another job doing cumbersome authorization that jeopardizes system stability by being online (Windows updates! I know you can pause, but this does not always work). The other thing that bothers me is that the statements about Cakewalk always change! Once they said that you can use CbB all the time (including offline auth) and now it is suddenly restricted to this latest, forced version. How can we be sure that we are able to use this one in some years?
  24. AFAIK they said once that you will be able to use this final version as long as you want. But if I consider the reality that I have seen with Cakewalk, then I know that you never can be sure what will happen in the future! Especially whether you will be able to install CbB on a new PC again when you have to exchange your computer. Also the half year re-authorization has raised my distrust ever since and it seems with good cause!
  25. The word "currently" maybe important for me in conjunction with the upper statement! If there would be no offline activation, then I will be out (hope that Sonar Platinum still will work in this case and in any case I have R....),
