    Not A Deal - New DAW From Jim Roseberry

    in Deals

    Posted

    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/

    Right. Wonder why that thread was locked long after it was pretty much done...?

    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.

    Where is Larry?

    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.

    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.

    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.  :)

    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.
