  1. Let's do some mashup innovation with the ideas that have been thrown in the thread

    • It's a new amp simulator (a new version of Amplitube, since we're talking IK)
    • with a new footswitch multi-pedal hardware controller
    • that runs with (Apple?) mobile hardware inside of it, so that the only cables needed are those for connecting to guitar and speakers, (no computers around the stage, and the footswitch case is designed to protect your device from stomps and kicks)

    Where's a patent attorney when you need one?

  2. Ujam has started a 50% off summer sale. You can find these deals at https://www.ujam.com/summer-madness/ or the usual online stores.

    It looks like coupons are not applicable for this sale and our best bet is to purchase somewhere that has some form of "purchase reward" like Kilohearts Bitcrush at adsrsounds, Izotope Phoenixverb, Virtual Cash and Rewards+ at pluginboutique, deluxe bucks at audiodeluxe or best coin at bestservice (e.g, for Beatmaker Void it's VC £1.27+0.5 tokens, DB $3.45 or €1.03 respectively)

    https://www.adsrsounds.com/software-developer/ujam/

    https://www.bestservice.com/ujam_instruments.html

    Note also that, similar to past ujam sales, there are also "exclusives". Deeper discounts for specific products, that are different depending on which store you go to

    Beatmaker Eden $19 https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/ujam-eden-2

    Beatmaker Hype $19 https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/64-Virtual-Instrument/6700-HYPE

    (and, if you find more of these exclusives, please post a link!)

    • Thanks 1
  3. Any details on the extra plugins? are they worth the purchase? Can they be installed separately? (a separate installer would be useful if we already have pro tools)

  5. It's not only 0.5 to full. I've held Cubase update codes without registering them for more than a cycle. The way I've observed it works is:

    The version you're upgrading from is fixed to a specific version number (or range of versions, depending on what you buy). E.g., if you buy an upgrade for 10.5 -> 11 you cannot use it for 7.5 -> 11

    Your eLicenser will get a license for the latest available version at the time of registration. This applies to full licenses as well, not just updates/upgrades

    Examples:

    • I bought an update code for Cubase 7.5 -> 10 in May 2019 and registered it at the end of last year, I got a license for Cubase 11
    • I bought an old boxed version of Dorico 1.0 in August last year that was on clearance (from an amazon.com marketplace seller). When I registered it I got a license for Dorico 3.5

    This is how it worked in the past but as far as I know it is not in any "contract" or entitlement. It is a very generous policy so it shouldn't be too surprising if Steinberg decides to change it at some point in the future, YMMV

  8. Please keep posting the deals from "bad developers" and please keep commenting when something is not good (esp. describing the reason why they're not good - poor support, it's 32-bit only, updates pending for a decade, etc)

    Having a market for liquidation/partially defective products is not bad per se (e.g., "as is" products on eBay or "minor defect" items at TJMaxx), what is bad is if there is no warning.

    How to handle several systems ? all linked to same account , will prevent me to use both at the same time or some

    No, it will not prevent you from using both systems at the same time.

    Microsoft accounts are a way of associating certain things with an email address instead of associating them with a machine. The relation of Windows accounts and machines is not one-to-one. You can have one PC with multiple windows account (e.g., a family pc with an account for every member of the family) and you can have multiple PCs with the same account on them (following with the previous example, I would have my account on my main machine and on the machine(s) shared by the family).

    You can still create local accounts but it is generally more useful logging in using an email (your Microsoft account) instead. Some advantages are: single-sign-on capabilities (if I change my password, I do it once and don't need to also go into each shared PC to update them, or remember different passwords for different PCs), sync selected settings across systems (e.g., if I like using double-clicks to open programs and my wife likes single-clicks, there is no need to configure each machine individually, the setting can be sync'ed and get applied depending on which account was used to log in), share cloud services across machines (e.g., when I log in to onedrive cloud storage using my account it shows my files, when other family members log in, it shows theirs),  and share information across machines about licenses for apps purchased from the Windows Store (note that this applies only to "modern apps", not "desktop apps", and I think that it is up to the app producer to allow usage everywhere or to set usage limits, I don't really know because I generally use "desktop apps" and very rarely "modern apps")

    If you are already using some online service from Microsoft (e.g., onedrive, skype, bing rewards, xbox, or outlook.com) you may already have a Microsoft account without realizing it

    There are less than 40 sound effects in each one

     I just got vol 9 which said 302 files in the website and I did get 302 sound effects (other files like the demo and cover picture weren't counted in the 302). For vols 1 and 6 the website says 178 and 100 files respectively, you may want to double check if there was some problem when downloading or unzipping the files

  12. This is something crazy I noticed a while ago and I have never seen anybody comment on it

    An autostereogram is a two-dimensional image designed to create the visual illusion of a three-dimensional scene when you overcome the coordination between focus and horizontal angle of your eyes

    You may have seen them in bookstores or elsewhere, typically called "magic eye", pictures that become 3D when you relax your eye focus and get a little cross-eyed, e.g. the "fish and shark" in this image

    8a00942ce09582d244048cfc4f300ee8.jpg

    Here is the crazy thing - When I'm looking at the mixer window in Pro Tools and I relax my eye focus (maybe I've been staring at that screen for too long...) I see the same effect, all of a sudden the image acquires "depth" and the mixer surface starts "floating behind the screen level". This happens to the areas that are mostly grey, with slots and knobs, it doesn't happen to the bright green bars in the meters

    It may have something to do with the color scheme so I did a screen capture (and confirmed on a different machine that the effect is still visible). You can try it by watching the picture at

    pro tools 3d effect.png

    (probably easier if watching full screen)
