E-V-E-R-Y time I try to login to IK either their custom shop or Authorisation manager, my login details are rejected. I try to reset and the website has error codes. So I have to contact their support and that takes days. The lastest farce is the Custom Shop which tells me mu client needs up dating. So I download and install the new one, and I getthe same message telling me it needs updating again. They are the most un-user-friendly set I know. It's appalling service. Jerry

Welcome back Larry. I hope the family situation is under control. Brave yourself, PayPal.

Aren't they that crispy bread stuff that posh people have in their soup?

"Another, probably unrelated key ..." - and yet he makes it sound so natural, no discontinuity at all

Listen to Brian Wilson

.. or - "Perfect Pitch" - an accordian* in a skip (dumpster) from 20 feet. * could be substituted for banjo

There's a couple in Dimension Pro in section 23 - Ethnic and World. They're not bad. The Kontakt factory ones are probably better.

I agree with the preference to go truly acoustic. However if you keep on the piezzo track, you may find some impulse responses (IRs) which may help. I don't know of any for violins, but I used some with guitars. The IRs are designed to be used wth a piezzo pick up and give quite a good natural acoustic feel. I've done the same with mandolins (in fact a mandolin IR may actually work for a violin).

All 20 are now 20USD (each) at JRR and Audio Deluxe

Doh. No '85 then

I don't know Loops de la Creme, but the demo sounds good here, and they seem to have a good reputation. The Manhattan jazz kit here is 50% off for the introductory period until 14th March at 32Eu (+ applicable tax, VAT etc). Needs full Kontakt 5.3+. https://www.loopsdelacreme.com/kontakt-libraries (scroll down the page a little) I have both AD2 jazz kits, but this sounds really useful. Jerry

Is this an early April 1st? I can't wait for Hamster Tweets and Llama Bleats

Indeed it does does doesoesessssss ... .. see what I did there?

With me too.

I keep a handy shortcut to the download for the Yamaha ASIO driver for the UR22 now. It (almost) always needs reinstalling after Windows updates.

Bapu - Is that a contemporary strat? I have one of those from '85. Lovely guitar. For many years I played it with SD hotrails in the bridge with a coil-tap. But it's now back to the original PU, just changed the pickguard to an ivory pearl (with matching knobs and PU covers). I took out the tuning lock screws at the headend and the microtuners on the trem. I couldn't get along with them. jdf

Yeah, good old Voyetra DOPro. For the 80TB had, I wonder if these will mainly find their market in server farms, etc. , especially where a back up regime is convenient and automated. I couldn't imagine trusting 80TB on one drive, you'd need another one to back up the data locally. Probably in the time scale of these hard drives, the more likely home user would be increasingly utilising cloud storage (which would be using these drives).

Yes, but we were happy

Thanks Tecknot. As you see, I almost immediately edited my post when I re-read the advert. Having owned Cubase for sometime, I'm sure I must have known this already, but at my age you get so many things in your head, most of it is rubbish. jdf

Hi, I should know this, but I don't ... I already have my usb dongle for cubase. If I now buy Wavelab, do I need another dongle, or can the same dongle be used for both? EDIT - No I don't - just read the advert again! Thanks

Agree with the Tonespot Acoustic. Go for the Express,and like me, you end up shelling out for the full version. If I was to contravene my no-Waves policy, I'd probably suggest CLA-Unplugged. Tonespot can get the same effects as the CLA, but with many more options, and so takes longer to get the final sound. But I also agree that you can overdo the effect, and you need to keep the acoustic fairly pure. jdf

lol +1 to both.

I'm not in the market for this, and normally I'd say "you get what you pay for (if you're lucky)". However, I've seen some good reviews of this brand, not only teles, but also 335's. This isn't an endorsement. I suppose the most you lose is the $80. jdf

+1 However, I have to admit a grudging like for the Waves JJP bass. It's the only Waves I use these days. Ok, maybe their CLA bass too.
