Toontrack can pretty much do as they want. They are the big whale in the drum plug-in market, and don’t really have a major competitor. It’s a shame that over the years those running BFD have fumbled the ball so many times. Not speaking here one way or the other about the Player, but in my view  a lot of the old BFD2 and 3  libraries sounded a little more real and a little less slick than  the Toontrack ones.

Thx for that feedback on Custom & Vintage. I always felt that the sound on the EZX version as well could have been better. I think it was one of the earlier libraries, and Toontrack has upped their game noticeably on more recent ones.

Independent is a great library. If I didn’t already have it, that would be a no-brainer for me. As it is , I’m struggling a bit over whether Custom & Vintage is worth it for me, especially since I’ve got the EZX version. Leaning to the negative side right now.

Prices ever go lower on Soothe?

Has anyone out there ever compared in use Soothe 2 to the TDL De-edger?

Not sure how they do that.   I know both them an Seagate have been sued before.  I buy WD almost exclusively since their RMA is hassle free.

Their HDDs are great. I still have Blue and Black drives that I now use with a drive dock.  

Great price. If this were a true  single-sided model (with no additional bump on the second side) , and you guys weren’t scaring me with this other stuff, I’d grab it in a minute for my Lenovo laptop. Unfortunately there are reports out there that you really have to jam it in to single sided slots.

Fantastic quality reverbs. If I had the scratch, and could justify one more reverb, I’d  definitely get the 7th Heaven.  Reverberate has been my go-to non-algo verb forever. Also dev  is a super nice guy-very responsive.

Very sad news, indeed. Almost everyone I know has been affected in some way by some type of mental illness within their circle of family and friends. We need to do better.

If you get the chance, check out The Drifters Bar on Negril beach. Chill place with house band- other local musicians sit in too.

Activation code that appeared was “not accepted” when I tried to activate. Must be the ghosts and ghouls out today.

EDIT: Worked on 3d try…I.e third code.

Yes and no, 'cos it is now more like a trial! You are able to use it as long as they allow you to re-authorize (and they mentioned it will not be for long)!

Will this also be the case if I don’t do the update ?

I’m a few chapters behind in the ongoing Cakewalk odyssey. If I first utilized Cakewalk under the free Bandlab version, is this update still free?

A trip that’s on my list to do! Have a great time, Larry:)

Yeah, Firemaster download and activation worked for me, but not Unison. It’s not showing up in United’s My Licences, and when I try to go through the supplied Google link, it tells me the plug-in is “nonpublic”, so can’t be put in my cart. Tried going through Melda, but all I can get is the Demo version.

Edit: Based on Satya’s above post, I’ve just sent support tickets to United and Melda. Hoping that resolves this.

I concur that Drew is an absolutely first rate representative for BFD. He performed in yeoman-like fashion after BFD’s initial sale to InMusic and has continued to be a valued source of information and assistance to those in the BFD community.

Yeah, thx:) Looks like a whole slew of SSL stuff has been updated.

Not so Fast Folks

WD - BLACK SN850X 4TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe from Best Buys only $229.99

Best Buys   

Best buys Questions and Answers:

Q: QuestionHello there, is the WD BLACK 4TB SN850X single sided or double sided? Again this is only referring to the 4TB version!

A:Answer Most reviewers claim it's double sided. However, I spoke to WD and they say it's single sided, even the 4tb version. That conflicts with most professional reviewers' analysis, but I think WD must be right, as it's their product.

While you would think they know their own product, some who have bought it have observed that there is at least something raised on the second side that makes the fit challenging, at best.

Yeah, this is a great deal . Would have lept at the 4tb version, but  there’s contrary info out there on whether it really is purely “single sided” (which it’s advertised as) as is required by my Lenovo Gen1 X1E laptop.

Was just a thought. I’ve already got everything you’ve made except the Morley and Mesa stuff so I’ll be getting them with JAM points.  Had a Morley wah myself back in the day. Solid. 

Still have my old Morley boost/ wah. A great pedal!

I find  this new feedback relatively encouraging . I gave up on this about a year ago, after spending way too much time trying to get it to reliably work. I settled on just continuing to use the last FXpansion version, but wound up not using that so much either, given the lack of support there would be if I ran into a jam.

This week I loaded up the latest update - wasn't really straight forward and took a while, but now, for the first time in a very long time, it seems to work properly!

Will be giving it a bit of a work out over the next few weeks - it would be great if it really does work properly now

Yeah, let us know!😃

Berklee also just around the corner from the late, great E. U. Wurlitzer Musical Instruments, possibly the best musical instrument store I’ve ever been in.

Checked again , and it looks like I already had Lounge Lizard 4.4.4. 😱

I also got an update notice on Chromophone ….but not on Lounge Lizard….hmmm

I thought their Studio One 6 review was interesting. They tried  to say in a very nice way that  6 doesn’t really have any breakthrough features ….yet.
