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....

I'm actually more interested in Premiere Pro and After Effects plugins these days than music ones.

Is there a forum for that as well? 

Love me some free samples!

Reading yesterdays' posts I understand absolutely that Larry does not feel to appear on this forum today! Sometimes there are some nasty grinches that spoil the desire to write posts here! ☹️

I was thinking that exact same thing.

MF is now showing $10.99.  Still a good deal.  Thanks @jesse g

There could never be a DAW that is easy to use by everyone, because people learn in different ways and on various levels.  For one person to pick up stretching audio rather easily, it could be a nightmare for someone else to learn and vice versa.

Great point. 

Today's deal is Trailer Expressions 3 for $49.99

OK, you just +1000 for this quip.   Because I actually get the reference.

My wife designs T Shirts and sells them on line.   I had her make this shirt for me last year referencing that event.

There's always "just one more"!!! 🤣😜🤪

I went through a period where I was buying a lot of synths.  UVI, Komplete Ultimate, Arturia, Synthmasters, U-he, etc.  I have so many toys that I haven't bought a synth in ages.  I'm perfectly content.

However, at some point you'll probably talk me into Fathom.

 So how many "the only synth You'll ever need" are out there?

Just one more.. 

I love SampleLogic's products.  As a key member of this forum would say - its "guud stuough."

Their UI's are the most compact, confusing Kontakt UIs you will ever see, but once you get the hang of it, it is really cool.

Good question. Only have Polyscape ‘the original’ myself.....

That settles it, I have to get Polyscape Pro so I can say I'm more "Pro" than Fleer....

It sure is. Got it as a freebie some time ago. 

Any thoughts on Polyscape Pro?  Can pick it up for around $17 at Plug In Boutique.   Kind of confused on Polyscape vs Polyscape Pro vs Polyscape 2.

All the v collection instruments don't have free updates , so if in next 2 years augmented string V2 get released they will charge another 29 for limited time to update and 50 to upgrade for existing users.

Pigments don't count as V collection instruments 

Actually, Arturia is one of the most generous companies around with free updates.

Do you have the "automatic chords" mode in the CHORDS section of the interface enabled? It sounds like that might be the key to getting it to work on your end.....

That being said, it sounds like having simpler MIDI files, maybe just focusing on a single groove or style of playing rather than a full song, would be helpful--especially as part of a video tutorial that shows how to create that groove/sound from the ground up.

@Greg Schlaepfer - that was exactly it.  I was using the default setting "disabled" - changing it to automatic chords made it sound just like I expected.   I assume that is why I could never get what I expected out of strum mode.  Thank you much!

Simple midi files would be amazing.

I wants it. I wants it all. 

I picked up the only guitars I didn't have - Vintage Gent, Django Jazz, Rubber Bridge, Dry Relic, and the Bluegrass Banjo.  Special thanks to @Greg Schlaepfer for adding the Evolution Complete Bundle in the middle of the sale.  That greatly helped out some folks (like me) who had an odd combination of products going into the sale.  It makes it super easy to support a company when they look out for customers like that.

I'm really a bit frustrated though.  I've never really played the strumming patterns, and I started to play around with the rolls on the Bluegrass banjo.  They sound nothing like the demos.    I was trying to follow this simple example:

I watched carefully - it really seems he is just hitting the three notes, as well as the strum string.  My results sound nothing like a banjo roll (on any of the roll strumming presets) - it sound just like some odd combination of the keys I hold down.  I need to look into it a bit more, but I've really been struggling with the strumming.  I agree with the above posters that some simple midi files would really help learn the products.
