  1. I’ve been around musicians my whole life. Mentally health issues are common. I think it’s important to have a routine, be organized, even if it’s not in your nature. Having a family and positive relationships is a must. Don’t fall for the “romantic” stereotypes of the romantic artist. Being a musician is about dealing with chaos. You need order to balance it out.

  2. playing with this on my laptop. VERY nice sounds! Great freebie indeed.

    EDIT: Is there a way to get the Rack Extension version as well?

    The crash seems to be in the ImpactLX-25 control surface DLL, although I suspect your issue might be related to running the EA release using non-english language (the resource DLL's for other languages haven't been done yet).

    Oh, ok. I've been having issues with the Arranger displaying weird characters, which seems to be language related. I was told through email that those would likely be solved in the new update. Is that the case? Thanks.

    Is there any extra offer for those who own these synths as VSTi already?

    You may want to email the developer and ask about a crossgrade offer. Synapse Audio offers free crossgrades between vst and rack extensions. Don’t know about Korg, but it may be worth the try.

    I don't think it does - it's a clear as mud I'm afraid

    I did find this:

    https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=553546

    So I think the download page is a bit misleading (annoying when you've just downloaded 60gig)

    Hmm, weird. The installation page says you can: https://www.meldaproduction.com/MDrummerDrumEmpire2020/installation

    Drum Empire 2020 is used by following plugins. Download MeldaProduction universal installer, run it and make sure you select one or more of the plugins that use this pack.

    MDrummer

    MSoundFactory

    MSoundFactoryLE

    MSoundFactoryPlayer

    Still, too annoying to download 60 gb just to check.

  6. Sitala is nice but Poise is actually insane workflow-wise. Totally recommended!

    You can specify an audio editor program to send your samples and then reload them back to the pad (right click in the layer icon). You can resample a sample after applying effects to save cpu. You can click and drag to select all pads, etc. Possibly the best drum sampler I’ve ever used, and I used to own Battery 3 and Geist 2. If only the GUI was a bit bigger... but whatever.

  7. UPDATE: So, a few weeks ago I installed Poise from One Small Clue, which was recently made free, but I discarded it since the GUI is a bit small. I decided to give it another spin and it's actually quite amazing. I can live with the small GUI, it's not that bad. I am using this skin though: https://vstskins.com/poise-aiva-1-5/

    You can very easily layer drums and much more. You can even drag audio from the sequencer to the pads. Also, you can MIDI map the sample start and end points!

    I recommend you watch this 4 part tutorial, it is very useful:

  8. They’d slowed down in the past few weeks/months. They used to release dev builds every couple of days but they released one today after 12 days. They’re working on a new area selection feature that appears to be taking them a lot of work. REAPER has been my main DAW for a long time, but I’m digging CbB much more now. Even though it doesn’t have all of the features and flexibility of REAPER, it’s better designed overall and the workflow is better, IMO.

    From memory I think there was a fix for this in the latest update. Are you on the latest version? 

    Yes. Seems to be language related. I have a laptop that I bought in Germany, so parts of Windows seem to be hard coded in German or something. My default OS language is Spanish and I run CbB in English (I know...).

    Still, switching languages doesn’t help. I emailed support and they responded with some questions about Windows version, CbB build number, and language settings. I also told them that the right click menu on the arranger track also displays weird characters.

    No response after that. I really hope they can fix it on next release, it’s really annoying and I worry that the bug could be present in the nex-to-be-introduced articulation manager... 😧

    The path to the dll loaded by Cakewalk may be viewed

    • in the plug-in properties in the VST2 drop down above the plug-in UI. Click the details button in plug-in properties
    • in the Plug-in manager. Click on the plug-in name to display the path in the Filename entry at the bottom of the screen

    It is also part of the data displayed in the VST Inventory tool I wrote. This tool is available on my Google page.

    Thank you! that did it after I went nuclear and did a clean install with no success. I actually had a previous version in another sub folder...
