New: Luftrum Ambient 3, Omnisphere Preset Library - $45
Newsletter subscribers enjoy a 20% intro discount using the promo code given in the newsletter until Jan 24th.
Luftrum Ambient 3 is a return to the Luftrum roots, to the very beginning of what started it all. This release is the third in the series, following the first Luftrum Ambient designed for Camel Audio’s Alchemy, and the subsequent Luftrum Ambient 2, tailored for Omnisphere 2.
Luftrum Ambient 3 continues to explore the vast universe of ambient music, containing a total of 150 presets by Luftrum for Omnisphere 2, thoughtfully divided into 122 individual presets and 28 multis.
It’s an Omnisphere preset expansion that pays homage to both the pioneers and modern masters of the genre.
The set draws inspiration from Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, and Vangelis, while also embracing the work of modern ambient artists like Jon Hopkins, Hilyard, Martin Stürtzer and Carbon Based Lifeforms. The influence extends to labels such as Ultimae, Valley View Records, and Synphaera, with a nod to the Japanese ambient scene too – bridging the gap between the sounds of the past and today’s expressions.
Add Luftrum Ambient 2 to the same cart and save 10%. Subscribe to the Inner Circle newsletter and save 20%. Luftrum Ambient 2 is also an Omnisphere preset library.
NOTE: Posting discount code would violate forum policy as it is intended only for Luftrum newsletter subscribers.

Excellent, kick *****.
Forget Pro Channel and other such gimmicks, toys, these and the following releases are the real thing, Mix Engine FX, not like normal FX, have a read.
Available only for Studio One Pro 3.2 onward.
Once you get your head around it I hazard a guess it will be like it is here, permanently in use here 👍
Personally IMHO all of these type of plugins/processors are gimmicks but as they say YMMV.
In the studio we had to deal with a variety of leakage types...
- Console module crosstalk - electronic bleed from other modules or just console electronics.
- Tape track bleed through - adjacent tracks bleeding through (more of an issue on 24 track tape and its physically smaller track area).
-
Tape print through - one layer of tape imprinting on another.
You would always have some pre or post print through - which was louder depended on how the tape was stored.
One of the most famous examples is the vocal pre-delay on Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. - Headphone bleed - cue mix getting picked up by vocal or acoustic microphones.
While most of the time you could ignore this stuff sometimes it was an issue and it could be a real pain in rear ('Where the hell is that guitar coming from? All the guitar tracks are muted!").
Except for 'Whole Lotta Love' where they liked the effect of the vocal pre-delay due to tape print through I don't recall ever hearing a producer say 'Thank god for that (name your instrument) bleeding through!'.
I do recall a couple of occasions of spending time to manually erase all non-used tracks or sections between parts to eliminate bleed through as much as possible; an easy thing to do on a DAW, but sometimes challenging to do on a tapedeck.
I am waiting for someone to create the plugin that let's you enjoy the magic of recreating all 4 types for bleed through in your DAW so that you (and the end listener) can realistically enjoy the full experience of yesteryear's recording studios.-

I believe this model may be true “single-sided”, which is required in some laptops. Others 4tbs have claimed to be true single -sided, but haven’t quite fit the bill. I guess we’ll see.
That's true but I was referring to the issue where a lot of laptops that are 2 or more years old (and probably some newer ones) just don't support M.2 chips that are larger than 2TB.

Been needing one of these for months! Had to remove many unused Kontakt lib's from my 2TB just to update NI. Alas, still can't afford one.
Make sure your system supports 4TB chips before you purchase, many don't.

Anyone have any problems opening this in CW?nm, directory issues, resolved with a complete uninstall, reinstall...
Yes, I rescanned & still had a problem.
I then deleted the ToneX VST3 entries in the registry (Cakewalk VST Inventory)
and rescanned again and all is now good.

Gave the update a quick test drive.
IMHO this a very welcomed (and needed) update.The ability to change the guitar/bass tonality in audio demo to closer match your own is great!
*if previous version had this I was unaware.Looking forward to taking a deeper dive into this later.

LOL the music industry was corrupt looong before 1994.
The payola scandals with labels paying for their records to get hyped & played, record companies & managers ripping off artists, etc.
The scope changed i.e. fewer people controlling larger resources (getting their fingers into more pies) but the rots always been there.Interesting video though.

It looks and sounds (from the demo) lovely but I need to not use the synths I've recently purchased a bit longer before I buy any additional synths that I won't have time to use.
One of the things I love about guitar is that maintaining your chops, let alone improving them, takes a continual investment of time if for nothing else to maintain the calluses on your fingertips so that you can bend notes during your solos and not scrunch up your face and look like you're going to cry like you see with some players in performance videos.
So my keyboards end up being underutilized...-

On a serious note, there is no denying that there is a Linux fan base (regardless the size), so a larger developer stepping up to the plate to support them is impressive.
The Linux user base is very loud & vocal but small and frugal.
Back in 2001 Borland released Delphi 6 development platform - it supported both Linux (using the name Kylix) and Windows for the first time. Sales for the Linux version was so disappointing (and not because of the quality of the platform**) that when Delphi 7 was released - no Kylix. Borland wasn't the first company to mistake how ardently people request something doesn't always translate to sales.
**the fish were hungry but the pond was shallow.Big difference nowadays is that many of the development languages are multiplatform so as long as you started the project on one of those platforms going PC > Mac (or vice versa) or to Linux isn't the total commitment it once was.
Still, it will require a commitment of resources to develop, maintain & keep upgrading it.
For legacy applications creating a cross platform version often means starting from scratch and then having to feed & maintain totally separate development streams. -

Anyone else can confirm this?
I'm considering falcon at next sale but if this is the case there is no point of purchasing falcon at UVI.
Audio deluxe or somewhere will be better.
maybe...
I bought Falcon from UVI gambling that my voucher would be more than the $20 something I could have saved by buying it somewhere else.
This is how it worked out for me...At UVI I spent
$212.86 on Falcon + stuff
$ 54.29 on a bunch of Falcon libs (using my $100 voucher)
$149.00 late in 2023 getting Augmented Orchestra
=================
$ 60 my voucher for 2023 expenditures.Possible I got around 15% kickback for all three combined.
or around 30% kickback on purchases #2 + #3 ($203.29) combined.
I don't know... Someone else who didn't buy Falcon from UVI will have to contribute their data to figure it out (or someone can contact UVI and see what they say).
BUT I'm tired and this is as far as I'm digging.Here's the CW Forum thread on last years sale where we tossed around various ideas on how best to spend our pennies:

Any idea what the threshold for getting personal vouchers is? I bought Falcon 3 in November.
You already got a voucher when you bought Falcon, so don't know if they'll count that (the Falcon purchase) in the 2023 voucher calculation.
That could be why mine is only around$30$60 (oops, misremembered).
I bought Falcon last January, but bought other stuff over the year.

Connecting Musicians Together!
We are thrilled to finally unveil Blue Cat's Fader Hub, our brand new network mixing & streaming console software that will transform your collaborative music experience!
It operates like a dynamic mixing console, linking audio sources from your interface, local network, or even the vast expanse of the Internet! See our video and blog for more details!
More info:
Join the LLAN party! Connect your instrument and play with other musicians over the Low Latency Audio Network (LLAN) thanks to this unique network mixing and streaming console.
Fader Hub features a local mixing console to mix several audio inputs from an audio interface, and a network mixer that can send the local mixdown to other computers over the network, and mix it locally with the audio streams received from them.
It is fully compatible and interoperable with the Connector plug-in. It includes several built-in audio effects and can also load third party VST, Audio Unit and VST3 plug-ins.
Fader Hub can also record the full mix and individual streams to disk, making it easy to record multiple instruments over an IP network.
Thanks to Fader Hub's low latency peer-to-peer connection, every musician with a laptop in a band can easily manage his/her personal headphone mix, while keeping the lowest possible latency for his/her own instrument.
