I normally don't even touch my DAW/PC from spring till fall. But the prices on this stuff just keep going up. I figure if I'm ever going to buy something I should probably do it now. I've been waiting all winter for gpus to go down but they've been consistently going up. They recently remastered Crysis ... in 8K. Allegedly it will run on PS4 Pro with ray tracing.

The Pro Channel would shut up randomly all by itself. That's why I stopped using it originally.

It really is an incredible game. That is a video from the original release I think. It can look a lot better. I'm waiting now for a quote for a gaming system that can play this, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4 modded with high res textures. Can't wait to get it. It takes a lot to run these hi res even though they are older. It can take years to play these games. Especially modded on a PC. That's why they are all still so popular and people are still making advanced mods for all of them. That link to the LPs says it's out of stock but they just re-released it on their site in a different section. The new listing didn't have the track list so I posted the old one. 👍

Just post a picture of a storage box with a clown face on it and call it Clown Storage. They'll rip the m.f. right off the forum.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Ultimate Edition Vinyl Box Set 4xLP How can they call this the "Ultimate Edition" when they don't even include Ragnar The Red?

It that were the case there would be no forum left.

I hear he has a bass guitar too but I'm not sure. And big feetses.

That was mean Craig. Shame on you. Ed, it's not the size of the squirrel that matters, it's how deep he buries his walnuts in the yard that sets him apart from other squirrels.

CbB's don't really apply to modern standards. I use them as basic input level rough guides but I use 3rd party stuff for mixing and mastering in my tiny little home studio world. Studio One is set up great for mixing and mastering and to be honest that's what I use 99.9% of the time now. Because of online streaming service compression and the way most of us share music now it's more important than ever to get levels in a happy place.

Meh. Who knows. It's happened before. *shrugs shoulders* There's plenty of other daws out there so I wouldn't worry. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Careful now. You're getting dangerously close to being OT. (On Topic) My fist entry into midi was ... I can't remember.

@craigb Tank 7 Best beer I've ever had. Be warned though. They should require a prescription to buy this. It knocks you through a loop. I can only handle 2 maybe 3 tops and I am completely non functional. Normally I'm good for at least a 6 pack or more. I don't drink anymore but when I did I couldn't drink anything else once I tried their beers. Even when I was young and could gag down half a can of Bud it would give me a horrible headache. We used to call it Zombie Pee (with s's).

I had kinda major surgery yesterday and I'm on copious amounts of Hydrocodone. Everything I say for the next 2 weeks are suspect. Not that they weren't before. 😁 I have become, uncomfortably numb.

I think his point was this forum does host our files and doesn't rely on us to do it. Therefor the contributions would be managed better here and not dependent on our 3rd party file hosting sites that could go away or links changed.

Sorry to hear that Bill. I hope you can get it out ASAP! Don't forget my Frampton cover idea. 😜 Or Jim Reeves. Jim's steel player was one of the first to record with it. I recently bought this on vinyl at a thrift store. Sounds incredible to me.

I have Willie Nelson, Ferlin Husky, Brutus Beefcake, Classy Fred Blassie, and Captain Lou Albano's autograph. The wrestlers are on a McDonald's napkin from where they were all eating at in Port Jervis NY and Willie and Ferlin's are on show tickets.

Just got the Essentials FX Bundle which had the two plug-in's I was mainly interested in. It went from $297 to the sale price of $119 to $19 when the system discovered I already had the auto dynamic EQ then to $7 when I signed up for the newsletter. That's more than fair. I almost kind of feel bad to be honest. Almost ...

Don't worry. I think you're ok. It doesn't apply to everyone.

I wonder if they keep track of how much you paid? I think I paid full price for it a very long time ago but can't remember for sure. Maybe you got yours on sale and they aren't as willing to give as much back?

Darn. I was hoping to catch another deal like this and cancel my Sphere membership. They just charged me for another month last night. Now I might as well stick with it because if I bought it now with this deal and cancelled Sphere I'd still be at $130. I like Sphere and recommend it but it's not for me because I just don't spend the time at my DAW that I used to to make use of all the samples and loops and storage.

Hah! I was just going to post about this and your reply popped up. Good timing. Yes, I was able to get a discount. A huge one. I own MAutoDynamicEQ. I can get the Essential bundle for $19. On sale it's $119. So they are giving me $100 U.S. off for already owning their dynamic EQ. To be honest, I'm only really interested in the MAutoVolume plugin. It also has MAutoAlign. They are two awesome plugins. I haven't used MAutoAlign in a while and thought I owned it but I must have used a demo because it's not in my account. For $19 bucks this is a no brainer.

Samsung. Grrr. Not a big fan of them anymore like I used to be. I have an old pair of K240 MKII's. They sound good but I've never been able to get a good mix on them. I ended up getting far better mixes in a bad room with my speakers about 4 feet away from the wall and me about 2 ~ 3 feet from the speakers. But with the headphone software available now I'm wondering if a better pair coupled with software would be good. On the other hand, if I bought everything I felt I needed right now I'd be about $15,000 in the hole. 🙁

I wish they had a 'Create Your Own' bundle and let you pick 10, 20, or 30 plugins of your choice. All the bundles I would be interested in include some I already own.

I was looking at the AKG 712's. They are $550 at Sweetwater and Guitar Center but $389 from AKG on Amazon. Makes me wonder if the ones on Amazon are fake? That's quite a price difference.

I'm sorry to hear that. My laptop died and I never replaced it and at the time my DAW was in my basement. Your site didn't work on any Android device I had or I would have been there a lot more not that 1 guy would have made a difference. Now I've moved my gear out of the dungeon in to the dining room so I'm on more regularly again. Lucky you guys eh? 🤨 I like it here and I'm very grateful that we have access to this forum. It's easy to forget where I'm at and go off topic though. It's not intentional I just get used to being here and let my guard down because I feel at home so to speak. I need to be more mindful and respectful of the policies here and all will be just swell. Back on topic, I've been thinking about this a lot since I started this thread. I can't decide what I would do. If they updated a few things, one being make it look better on a 4K monitor, I have to admit I would have a really hard time deciding. IRT the 4K thing, I'm running 4K on a budget so maybe the scaling on my end isn't right. It would be interesting to know how CbB looks on other people's 4K setups.
