Sure, if it weren't for the fact that their list prices are a complete fiction only used to claim massive discounts. 

that was my point  (OTOH anyone can price their product the way they like FWIW, AFIK, AFICT, etc etc)

I wouldn't have worried about it either, except that I'm clutching at CPU-shaped straws.

Thanks. Your NUC specs seems amazing comparing to my bit older hp elitedesk mini with 6th gen i7 and your intel UHD is again much better than mine, and still my lovely little box is quite capable even today. You should expect it smashing awesome with the Cakewalk/Scarlett tandem assuming both video and audio drivers are fine. I'm pretty sure you did check if you didn't accidentally hit the Pause/Break button on your keyboard.

You should be able to set your keyboards to output MIDI channel 1, 2 or 3 respectively, and the instrument track input in Cakewalk to omni or all inputs (none should work too) and all should be fine.

You also might want to check though if bouncing your recorded MIDI track to audio works fine once there are any swell pedal or leslie fast/slow changes in it, cause the last time I tried it didn't work properly and I haven't seen it fixed since by the IK team.

Performance module, before disabling core-parking:

Performance module, after disabling core-parking:

Please forgive me the off topic, but what is core-parking and should I care for it? (and is it something I can adjust on my own being a musician and not a programmer so having not much experience with bios or group policy settings?) TIA

Just not enough factory presets, due to limitations with the strumming editor itself, or just the realism of the strumming itself? I'm always looking for feedback so that we can improve things like that in future updates.

For strumming editor I'd say it's already quite (r)evolutionary on it's own and there's not much wrong with it, in my experience. It's bit limited in how many patterns are in one preset (6). And we can't move the strokes slightly off the grid to give it more human feel, except with the swing, strumming tempo/time and some 'humanize' settings that I found in the SETUP that sometimes might help a little. But there's still that mechanical feel that's sometimes hard to overcome.

Manual strumming could be the solution but there are missing dead/muffled/muted (don't know exactly how to describe it) strokes, on the left side, and that alone makes it unusable for live MIDI recording, unless I'm still missing it somehow. I see there are other articulations right, on the other spectrum of the keyboard, but again, you can't just skip around the whole keyboard to play chords (blue keys) and the strokes (yellow keys on both sides of the chords range) at the same time, so mouse editing afterwards is necessary.

Soundwise OTS libraries are killer, and in strum mode only some articulations are too soft. I for example have tried replicating a flamenco strumming with the Nylon library, but some slaps/chokes/hits are still too light and there for me it was still lacking some realm. Pls note I'm talking about the last few percent to the 'immaculate effect' missing... For soloing it's amazing though, from another room my wife thought I had bought a real gitar!  

Oh and I'm only looking for the Kirchhoff EQ while on $99 sale, so timing must match this condition for me too.

Drop me a PM! 🥂

Another good candidate would be Fable Sounds Broadway Big Band or Broadway Gig, quite playable these are although I would expect the VHorns to be even more, but obviously out of price range for me too. A responsible use of Session Horns could give you bit of this Jerry Hey-esque type of sound .

I used to have a good experience with Yamaha's VL-synthesis giving me very convincing brass section, unfortunately I have sold the BC3 controller.

Let us know your findings!

Anyone with Cakewalk had spotted the same issue with broken CC# assignments after updating to 1.7, like in the VI-Control thread? Maybe they were just a corner cases.

I had similar issues when I installed Studio One Prime and ran it before firing up Cakewalk, there was severe driver conflict but couldn't find a way out other then reload the whole Windows session.

I had both Cakewalk and Reaper portable running fine though. One thing you might want to check is if you did install ReaRoute along with your Reaper and it did somehow get in conflict with Cakewalk.

What are the chances that IKM T-RackS EQ 81 from APD is excluded from the Group Buy? If it isn't, you could get in at the $99.99 level for $39.99.

None.  Many of us entered group buys from a deal from a vendor.

They did exclude APD deals item on one of their previous groupbuys after finding out there is a sale on APD, announcing it after the sale started and not honoring the transactions passed through, effectively screwing up those who bought it already for that reason.

the whole ".vst3" at the end of the folder name should not be an issue and that Cakewalk actually has no problem with other folders that have the same thing. I have multiple folders from other plugins the same way. So I advice that you do not rename them at all. I found a better way. I assume the problem arose because the original location of the VST3 in the previous version  was without a folder...

I thought about the same, if there wasn't any change to the name of the folder and it's exactly same as the plugin previously it could be that cakewalk didn't scan the new plugin inside the folder as it didn't recognized there was a change. What I would do is pull out just the dll plugin file out of the cakewalk vstplugins folder for a few secs and wait until cakewalk scans and reports there was one plugin removed (or click the scan button if you have automatic scan disabled) then put it back and wait for rescan again.

Unfortunately I'm not buying the piano so I won't touch anything for now to stay away from troubles. So I can't try it myself to validate this method.

I'm missing only one t-racks piece so I'm out of this group buy. But if they will come up with instruments pick&mix then I'm interested.

shooot!

I ran into an issue with the VST3 version not running after update, but I fixed the problem and it now works. The problem was that it created a folder called ".vst3" at the end of the name so Cakewalk assumed the folder was the file and it couldn't load it. So the solution is to rename the folder without ".vst3" at the end of the name, then it will work. 

Just wanted to share in case someone has the same problem and doesn't know what to do.

Thanks! Did they do all the necessary tests, before rolling out any new version, only for MacOS??? 🤔

iZotope has always exceled at purging older products from stores and the internet, so you might try reaching out to iZotope's customer service. The file was named "Exponential_Audio_Stratus_Win_Release_3_00.zip" (105MB) but has no hits for search engines.

Will do. Thanks a lot!

I received the code for free FAST bundle too, was thinking to exchange it for a voucher that could get me Kirchhoff cheaply cheap perhaps?

Guys I can't find the installer for Stratus the version one before current, so 3.0.0-something (for Windows). It's the one still with VST2 in it, any idea how can I download it? Tried in products>downloads and in legacy products but no luck.

hi i’m Lisa😇

If someone has a 75 PA voucher that not going to use, I would be eternally grateful🙏

TIA

Bapu is that you???

Question to anyone who knows for sure. If minimum for $75 code is $100, will they allow an $99.99 item then?

(I know some shops do)

Patiently waiting for the abusive code.

Post of the week!

Is there one for Omnisphere? Waiting patiently until price will reach sub $30 became a little boring...
