Get em whilst you can.............wohoo !!!!

Just checked this out. You have to be online and send the sample to their server to be processed. No off line option.

Perhaps Gibson want the money to buy back Cakewalk now that its been sorted, and running properly.......🙄

Hi

Firstly, do not use a 5400rpm HD for your second drive. You must use a 7200rpm drive if you are to stick with a HDD. The 5400rpm will really slow you down. You must put the content (not the programs) for Kontakt on this drive.

If you have both program and content on your C drive this will just slow things down overall. In fact any Vst program that has content other than the program itself must have that content put on a seperate drive. Your system will run better for it.

I have a 3 drive system (all Crucial/Samsung SSD x 1TB), C - Programs, D - Content, E - further Content and backups. The speed is blistering and I have security against failure.

Thanks very much all. Really appreciate the feedback 👍

Using some of the new free instruments from Pianobook. Several instances of Mellow FM and  one of Guitar Textures Pad.

All free to download on Pianobook

Thanks dasmode. Just checked and it appears thatPro13 supports external vst fx (studio 10 does so suprised 12 pro did not) EDIT : just seen you mentioned 64bit (which is surprising). I therefore assume 64bit is available from within Pro 13.

Some questions. I'm very tempted by this as I have been working on Sony Soundforge  Studio10 for I think 10years. It's only 32bit. Works on W10 but have to run as admin every time since a W10 update. So very tempted indeed just to have 13pro and be able to access my 64 bit vst fx within it. However I'm in the UK. So not so sure if I can buy from here (though the site is showing the price in UK £).  Do I have to sign up with Humble to get this. Will Magix refuse to register as bought in the US and I'm in the UK. I don't need Sampletude, Acid Pro etc as CWB and  Studio One 5 do me well. Would appreciate insight. thanks.

Just picked this MDynamic EQ  up with a purchase at PB (https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/55-Kontakt-Instrument/7669-Vektor  would recommend havin' a look at it). I like what the Melda is doing. Like the comination of dynamic,eq, saturation going on.

Do these work on all versions of Vital?  I just have the free version

Yes they do. I have the free version only (You'll be able to d.load the free ones backdated to November last year, so plenty to get on with).

The Forum free Vital sounds for July is up https://forum.vital.audio/t/august-2021-free-patch-sharing-thread/7564  Just place in your Vital Docs folder. Then import within Vital. You can delete the original d/loaded file once converted.

How do we know it's really you. I need proof.  There have been false prophets around these parts for a couple of weeks. I trust no-one.

I hardly used O8A because I got it just before O9A was announced and Izotope gave me a free upgrade, so I don't recall too much about what was new in that. Master rebalance in 09A was the show stealer fro me in 09A but I don't think that is included in the standard version, so honestly I don't think there is too much to be gained in going from O7Advanced to 09Standard. IIRC the standard versions don't have Standalone capability either.

Just checked as not having standalone would have been a deal breaker for me. And Standard is standalone (and will also host) phew !

Logged into my Izotope a/c and I can get Standard 9 for £99. PB are less than half that at£45. It's valid till 1st Aug. So will wait till then to see what freebie PB offer by then.

Been checking the content of Standard against Elements. And it seems to go into the depth I prefer when mastering.  I had seen the subscription talk about Izotope and  a merger could be on the cards for the future. Not so sure how that would affect me as a user of both Komplete 13  and potentially Izotope 9 Standard. If I invest in IZ now .could I find a better package  down the line from both NI and IZ? I'm not an advocate of subscription. So may pull the trigger on this one.

Had an email from PB offering Izotope 9 Standard at 80% off (£44). as I'm a "valued customer" blah,blah, with a special code. Thing is. I have Izotope Elements 9, and found it lacking for mastering, ok for individual tracks. I also have IKM TRacks 5 .It just has a few processors ,(9) and again I don't use it much as I feel it is always running "hot" and use parts on tracks. But do always master on my old Soundforge 10. And trust it.

Is there anything about IZ Standard 9 that makes it different to the Elements, IKM, old Soundforge. As it seems a good deal costwise. And anyone else had the email?

I thought it appropiate to inform the listeners of this track. That it appeared on the best of for the month of June on Pianobook. The consequence of which is that it was selected and I won a free copy from Spitfire Audio of Originals - Cinematic Pads.  A big thanks to you for the listens, & support here. And to Christian Henson and Simon Fyffe at Spitfire/Pianobook. Woohoo !!

Very glad I had headphones on! A great compilation composition . . . you may have intended it, to me the mix tilts towards the lower eq regions, some of those bassy pads are filling up the low end nicely, but I'm missing some brightness in this I think. Could be the headphones perhaps? 

Love the journey, the "world music meets the outer world" vibe . . .very groovy indeed!

cheers,

I noticed when I placed an octave shift on the trumpet to get that Jon Hassell sound. It altered the tone of the whole thing. The high end of the trumpet went. And the lower freq seemed to get boosted more across the whole. I cut the pads to compensate. Without the shift on the trumpet it did not have the same vibe. I use both Sennheiser and AKG headphones. And it seemed balanced. But this was a fast, inspirational thing done very quickly. And it may well be that my ears were missing things by the end. Glad you like it though.

Very nice!  Enjoyed listening  to this on a lazy afternoon.

I'm not familiar with Jon Hassell.  Will have to check out his music.

-Bjorn

 

He worked with Terry Riley on the original  "In C" in the 60s, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Ry Cooder, many films, invented mixing world music with electronics and samplers, and a host more. Recommend - Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics, City: Works of Fiction, Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street (some great live performance available on YouTube).

From the latest on Pianobook - OnOff scrapes by Martin Russ . And found sounds, and a bit of LABS from Spitfire. Sadly we lost the great Jon Hassell recently. And it's my poor homage to a master.

Update went ok. But it then trashed my Reaktor 6. Had to uninstall and re-install. Not pleased.

New Klang is up - Mutant Piano

Just working my way through them. Going to make a folder for them and spend the weekend exploring. One that I like the sound of is Mac only and I only have PC (Nettle by Fellusive a scanned synth).

Downloads are now available for the KVR Developer Challenge 2021 ! Lots to explore.
