I've been really looking forward to this eclipse but currently the weather forecast for my area (Los Angeles, CA) is cloudy ☹️ Keeping my fingers crossed...

That a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

> how do i know which threads i'm in? Aside from star in the forum listings mentioned in previous thread you can get a global look by clicking on your user icon at top right of screen: and the following page comes up: listing every thread you're following. > email notification: Either set the follow option per thread you wish to follow, as shown here... or set your account settings to automatically follow your posts Edit: note it seems that the forum's default setting for both options under 'Automatically follow content' is unchecked (NOT enabled). Or at least it was at the point when I checked and changed it.

Arg.. my imagination just runs with this... For use in a firing squad when they're really pissed off at you... One second to fire, a week to load. Great for werewolf hunting, silver bullets are cheaper but MetalStorm is more fun

To a lesser degree (see map in OP) the eclipse will affect some of Europe, Africa & Asia.

There will be a total lunar eclipse coming our way, beginning on Sunday, January 20 2019, and lasting into the 21st! The darkest shaded areas of the globe are where the entire eclipse is visible from start to finish. Moving outward from that region, portions of the eclipse are visible. Where can I see it? Totality of this lunar eclipse can be seen and experienced everywhere in the Western Hemisphere, as well as extreme Northern Asia, Ireland, England, and portions of France, Spain, and Scandinavia. When will this event be taking place? The eclipse will begins on January 21, 2019 at 0236 GMT and will end at 0748 GMT. For those who don’t want to convert GMT to our time zone(s), the eclipse will run from 9:30 p.m., on Sunday, January 20, 2019 until 2:45 a.m. on Monday, January 21, 2019, for those on US Eastern Standard Time. Why will this be happening? The moon will pass through the Earth’s shadow on the far side of the Sun. When that happens, the moon will appear red (what is known as a Blood Moon) and get very dark before emerging from the shadow on the other side. For more info check out: B&H Eclipse Info

Glad to hear that your up and running! Thanks for posting what got you fixed up.

Clean link without all the gunk https://8dio.com/instrument/adagio-violas/ According to a couple of different posters at VI Control this is one of their best string libraries. Here is a comparison of various 8dio string libraries:

Vocallective's NATA female voicebank for the Plogue Alter/Ego realtime voice synthesizer is now a free download Site: https://nata.vocallective.net Plogue Alter/Ego https://www.plogue.com/downloads.html#alterego Announcement: https://www.twitter.com/vocallective I haven't tried this yet so can't testify to how good/bad/easy/hard it is.

I was wondering the same thing and contacted the creator. I received the following reply this morning.

May or may not be related but I'll mention this in case it might help. I recently had a similar problem with Wave 10 after I reinstalled the Abbey Road suite where the VST scan would hit Waves 10 and then crawl like a sick slug , issue went away after I reinstalled Mercury. Details: Waves uses a couple of DLLs to cover it's library. Abbey Roads was on WaveShell3-VST3 10.0_x64.vst3 and after reinstalling A.R. the DLL was the same version but had a newer time/date stamp than the other two. Additional attempts at reinstalling A.R. didn't change things, reinstalling Mercury (which updated WaveShell1-VST3 10.0_x64.vst3 and WaveShell2-VST3 10.0_x64.vst3) did. As mentioned previously problem didn't occur till after after I reinstalled Abbey Roads and all the Waves VST3s were the same version. Now my VST scan times are back to normal. If still having issue try reinstalling your Waves plugins.

Caught my attention because its one the few (at the moment) new libraries specifically for Kontact 6. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://soundethers.wixsite.com/soundethers/granular-moon-kontakt-6 Soundethers has released Granular Moon, a collection for Kontakt 6.

I still have my Akai S900 with the GreyMatter expansion. I've thought about selling it but every blue moon I dig it out and use the audio triggers for something or other so for the moment I'm going to hang on to it.

If audio is coming into Cakewalk in an Audio Track - can't you drop your plugin in the track's FX bin?

Note: In case you missed it - most of Voxengo's freebies now have VST3 versions. https://www.voxengo.com/group/free-vst-plugin-download

8-Jan-2019: Voxengo is pleased to announce the release of Warmifier version 2.2, a valve warming/harmonic enhancing plugin for professional music and audio production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plugin formats (including native 64-bit support), for macOS, and Windows computers. This updated version includes the following changes: · Added ProTools 12+ AAX64 support. · Redesigned the infrastructure controls. · Implemented color scheme editor with load and save functions. · Added several new color schemes. · Made the user interface scale switchable without host reload. · Added 90%, 110%, 150%, 175% visual scales. · 29% lower CPU usage on AVX2-capable processors (in 64-bit mode). · Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows. Warmifier is a special audio effect AAX, AudioUnit and VST plugin for professional sound and music production applications which processes audio signal in a way similar to analog tube/valve equipment. By using Warmifier you can achieve valve warming and “console” coloration effects. Warmifier is applicable both to the complete mixes and to the individual instrument tracks. You have several parameters at your disposal that allow you to control the strength and the color of the effect. Also, you have several tube/valve types to choose from. Each valve type offers a different overall coloration. While the effect of this plugin is definitely subtle, the difference it makes is similar to the difference in sound between various analog mixing consoles. In most cases it boils down to adding a subtle “sparkle”, “presence”, “warming” or “solidifying” effect to a sound track it was applied to. Warmifier features: · 7 valve types · 2 processing modes · Stereo processing · Up to 8x oversampling · 64-bit floating point processing · Preset manager · Undo/redo history · A/B comparisons · Contextual hint messages · All sample rates support · 41 ms compensated processing latency · User interface color schemes · Resizable user interface · Retina and HighDPI support Warmifier is available for purchase on-line for US$ 39.95. Demo version of Warmifier can be downloaded freely at the Voxengo web site: http://www.voxengo.com/product/warmifier/?eref=ml

Thanks for notice, just found email notification.

Thanks for update notice. Looks like it's popular...

About The “Frog Guiro” is a wooden percussion instrument native to Thailand, popular with children and percussion students for its uncanny ability to croak like a live frog. They work great in Latin music too! There are varying sizes of frog guiros, ranging from as little as 2 inches in length, up to 7 inches and beyond! Contents THREE different sized frog guiros were sampled, each played with their own matched wooden stick. There are 2 microphone options available, and each frog was sampled “muted” in addition to the normal playing style, to offer variety. Articulations include: STROKES Full Strokes – 2 Speeds / forwards and backwards Half Strokes – 2 Speeds / forwards and backwards Brush Strokes – forwards and backwards Tremolo / Rolls – Up to 2 speeds HITS Front Side Tail Not all articulations are available for each frog, as the different sizes could not accommodate the same playing techniques. All three frogs are playable from within the one patch, with individual mic level control, panning, and playing style switching.

https://www.botdogsamples.com/shop/frog-guiros/ Creators text: This time around we are *selling* the frogs for $5. I'm not calling it a donation because we're making it mandatory. However, 100% of every $5 we get will go to Education Through Music: Los Angeles. ETM:LA partners with inner-city schools in Los Angeles to provide music education and instruments to all children, and also uses music education to improve academics, motivation, and self-confidence. OK, that's a bit of a copy-and-paste job but I've seen it in action and they are really good. Jdog and I went to a classroom in South LA and handed out some frogs and got to talk to the kids about writing music, it was very cool. It makes such a difference with some of these kids, just little things like not having to share a communal mouthpiece (much less an instrument), things we take for granted. If you're the type that is suspicious of our charitable intent, don't buy it! Trust me on this much, we have spent WAY too much time and money on this project to try to scam you out of your 5 bucks at this point. Though I'm happy to be audited, or, if you'd rather, donate direct to ETM and email us your receipt. My real hope is that through our silly video we can raise awareness for ETM:LA even if we don't end up raising that much actual dollars. Special thanks to @Farkle and @Mike Greene and the other composers that agreed to play the frogs in our video. And much thanks to @Jdiggity1 who spent many many, many, many, hours on this project, and then some.
