The culture of the forum certainly has changed since he left, and I don't think for the better. His wealth of knowledge really sparked some interesting threads here, and that just doesn't occur much anymore. I used to visit this forum multiple times a day, now sometimes I'll go days without visiting at all. I never was a huge contributor, but I gained quite a bit of knowledge. Now, it just really isn't worth the time much anymore. If you recall, we had to lobby to create this sub forum in the wake of the Cakewalk demise, now I wouldn't be surprised if it is just removed if it dies any more - it really doesn't have anything to do with Cakewalk. I miss Larry, but I don't think he is coming back either. I probably wouldn't - shoot, one poster here in the aftermath called Larry's personal beliefs/ideologies "unethical." Why would he stick around?

I followed up with my dislike for the owner. We discuss companies we don't care for on this forum frequently.

Doesn't work for this sale unfortunately

I don't care for Mike Greene at all.

Will never buy anything from Realitone.

I hear Waves has some plugins on sale for $29.99!!!!

I played II and III, never the original. I loved II. III was really monotonous.

Great thread! Huge fan of the Ethera collection

I've been using V2 since I rebuilt my Daw. I actually prefer it to V1.

I'm a big fan of a couple of small developers - Stefano's Ethera series being one of them. He has a new Ethera Library out today - Elements Cinematic Rhythms - intro price of $63.95, with an additional 20% off if you own an additional Ethera title. https://zero-g.co.uk/products/elements-cinematic-rhythms

FTFY

Me too. I now have 1 of 26 drops. Any way of getting the others?

Don't feel bad, I do exactly the same thing.

"Best mag in da biz"

Probably so. I really got the runaround from them for a long time. I've had a ticket open on it for over 18 months now. I really started badgering him about 6 months ago about it.

>6. FIX: Number of MIDI input devices is limited to 16 in the Standalone version of SynthMaster I've been complaining to them about this for eons....

It is now.

I got scared for a second. I thought @abacab was leaving/taking a break.

Never noticed that before. I love me some free samples. Thanks!

Not necessarily a deal, but I wanted to give @Jim Roseberry some kudos for my new DAW. We recently had two threads regarding new DAWs - @Larry Shelby thread on building his own new DAW: And @Starship Krupa excellent thread about repurposing parts for a new build: My last DAW was self built around 7 years ago, and it was time for a new one. I'm a career "IT Guy," and although I spend most of my time these days in meetings and on airplanes, I've tried to stay technical enough to do everything for myself. I've built countless computers over the last 25 years or so, so I generally know my way around computers. I built a new water cooled gaming computer last year, and I came to the realization that I really just don't enjoy it anymore. Quite honestly, it was a pain in the rear, and I pretty much hated the process. It had always been a matter of pride for me to build my own computers, but I decided my next one would be purchased. I started researching DAW builds around a year ago, but really couldn't find exactly what I wanted. I'm generally picky about things, and needed some flexibility that most manufacturers couldn't provide. Around 6 months ago, I contacted Jim and started talking to him about what I needed (and, sometimes more importantly, what I didn't.). Jim was extremely friendly, gracious with his time, and certainly understood my requirements. We emailed back and forth for several months (he probably wondered if I would ever hit that "purchase" button), and ordered a rack based DAW several weeks ago. I received it about two weeks ago, and started getting it all set up. Jim has continually been a great help to me, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. So, if any of you need a new DAW and don't want to build your own, check out https://www.studiocat.com/

That playlist looks great. Huge fan of CTTE

Edit - I'm a moron, and can't "forum" today.

No, it was a one post troll.

You missed the couple of hours of excitement on it. Several posts were deleted (and needed to be deleted), and one user was banned (and needed to be banned). The thread should have been locked.

Is this the part of the thread where I admit that I still buy physical CDs, then rip them to .flac and .mp3? I know, so 2005....
