Sounds like a useful and versatile concept for rhythm guitar sections. I wonder how does AcousticSamples guitar bundle compare to UJAM VG series for pop rock. I got it recently; has two acoustic, two electric guitars. They're built on individual note samples that can be played solo, but also automated patterns and manual chord playing.

Isn't being rich so awesome? You always get to buy bundles with hefty discounts, so you end up spending less money than us collecting things piece by piece over years. How can I be rich?

I wish we had a DAW equivalent of Blender: a well-funded, well-supported opensource project with a healthy community of users and contributors. I remember the thread where someone asked the possibility of open sourcing Cakewalk. Several people from the staff reacted emotionally. It was sad to read all those comments in this age.

Hi. I tried to find this product to buy it, but I couldn't. Please provide me with the link, as my tape emulator plugin collection already feels incomplete without it.

Now that's interesting. 6+ GB of samples and no loops. But they're all power chords and no individual notes?

So Riffendium makes use of individual samples instead of recorded phrases? I think that technique works the best when combined with a decent amp sim.

I use it for mastering, and sometimes mixing stems too. Great tool to finish a track.

Is it a good one? Demo video sounds great, but I wasn't happy about the versatility of other phrase-based virtual guitars I tried.

No surprise for me for the guitar, still €39.99 in the cart.

ETA Q4 22 AFAICT.

How are Efimov's electric guitars compared to AcousticSamples ones for strumming?

I bought around 20 plugins from Waves last spring for my semi-offline Windows 10 audio production box, and I'd say they have paid off already. Now they're upgraded to V13 at no cost, so I think I'm covered if I ever want to downgrade to Windows 11, but why would I do that?

Is Evolution Rick a good pick for standard rock music electric bass picking?

Open source multi-engine software synthesizer ZynAddSubFX got an alternative, modern GUI few years ago, named Zyn Fusion. While it's still fully open source, current maintainer of the project is selling the ready-to-use VST builds (Windows & Linux) of Zyn Fusion for $45, to fund the development, similar to Ardour. For Make Music Day it's $20 with code mmd2021 until the end of June. Here is the project page: https://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.io/zyn-fusion.html

Pretty much like AIR Music Tech's Strike 2. I wish it featured a decent sample library, so I could just get it without needing another drum sampler with a good library.

Can you use them in a meaningful way with free MSoundFactoryPlayer?

Does this drum plugin sound realistic outside of busy mixes? It requires only 500 MB of disk space. I can't demo it myself at the moment.

Can you, please, elaborate how Waveform helps with the creativity? I really want to discover what makes it special that isn't obvious at first glance.

Waveform doesn't look like a non-linear pattern-based sequencer similar to Ableton or FL Studio, but still I think I should be sticking to "linear and static" Cakewalk. MIDI/audio-wise, Tracktion doesn't seem to have any advantage over Cakewalk.

I've been evaluating Waveform Pro for the last few days; everything still feels weird, inferior to Cakewalk. But judging the software after a short period of trial wouldn't be fair. That's why I'm asking for opinions here. I'm gathering Waveform is more suitable for loop-based electronic music, rather than rock songs where I'd record MIDI keyboards/drums & audio guitars/vocals.

How is Waveform Pro compared to Cakewalk Sonar?

Hello, I have started using Cakewalk by BandLab recently, and I'm impressed with the intuitiveness of console and ProChannel. Since I'm also relatively new to mixing, I can't fairly gauge its sonic quality compared to other channel strip plugins. Since plugins like iZotope Neutron, Eventide UltraChannel ($29 right now), several ones from Waves, EZMix 2 are on sale, I'd like to hear your thoughts about them and ProChannel. More directly: Should I focus on ProChannel or invest on another plugin while learning how to mix my electronic/metal fusion songs?
