Hi all I’d like to share a track from my last album, Predetermined. The album was leaning to towards “concept” territory, but I hope this one stands up on its own, musically at least. Track: To find his Home And a link to the album if anyone’s interested…loved collaborating with my graphic designer on this one 🙂 Predetermined

I’ve not been on the forum much recently, but I do remember listening to a couple of great songs of yours a while back. How much fun is this? Great listen and I can almost hear the fun you had making it! It’s also highly original, which takes some doing. Love it!

I love this. I’m getting Fairport Convention and Lindisfarne, how fantastic. Beautifully played, sung and produced too, great job.

That’s great - I’ve submitted a couple of tracks but no luck so far. Your song had a bit of a Billy Ocean groove going on to my ears. Catchy as heck, lovely production, well sung and played, great stuff.

Top notch pop song, beautifully performed and produced.

Sounds like a decent deal, including an expansion. I’d like that upright bass as the expansion option. I don’t need it of course, I play the bass guitar (to an extent) and already have Trilian, but of course that’s not the point is it?! Fancied it for years and as someone who uses EZ Keys and EZ Drummer a lot…

Bang goes my last hope of getting EZ Bass this time around. Do they ever put it on sale do folks know?

Oh, still hope for EZ Bass on sale?

Apologies if this has been asked before or if I’m veering off topic. Is EZ Bass itself likely to go on sale this month?

Like you @Brian Walton I have a similar arsenal of paid for sims. I don’t think this one will add anything for me personally. In fact, I honestly don’t need any more amp sims. Ever. Honest!

I know I've nothing to lose by trying it myself, but just wondered whether some have already done so? What do you think?

Yeah, I finally bought the full Kontakt at a great price a week or so ago - early days but so far, very glad I jumped!

This gets so much love and development it’s hard to keep up. I find if I’ve not used it for a while, I need to invest some time and go back to basics, then learn the new stuff. The support via video tutorials is also second to none. Really excellent plugin.

Oh no, gas kicking in, just watched a video of that Realivoxblue singing hallelujah…insanely good!

Would Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals be good for rock/pop/ballad stuff? I’m looking for something in that arena rather than classical.

I get this - it can be a bit overwhelming. One of my motivations for buying was purely for having fun. I mean my THING is songwriting, playing and recording my own songs then releasing them in an album format. I don’t really think owning Omnisphere for years but not owning Kontakt has stopped me from producing the best I am capable of, but it’s sure going to be fun diving in and finding out!

Come on Larry, give us a clue where to start!!

Just picked up the full version of Kontakt on a crossgrade deal for €124 and am aware that one of the benefits is the availability of relatively cheap third party libraries. Are there certain developers you'd recommend for such goodies?

What does it bring that the other Nembrinis don’t offer?

This is the problem with IRs. I mean I have caved in and bought some Ownhammmer ones, and you get about 5 million of them. So you browse through and pick a few at random, and they DO make a difference and sound great, but you then worry about the 4.99 million in the pack you haven’t tried and wonder if you’re missing out. Then you think, no one cares, I’d be better off just spending my time practicing!

It would appear so…whilst it’s very tempting at this price, I have a feeling for the songs I write and record I will get more use out of Picked Nylon. I absolutely love Session Guitarist series. Decisions, decisions…
