As usual I am turning off the GPS and taking a journey into the latest soundworld from Spitfire Audio, ALBION SOLSTICE.

Worth a shot 🤓 https://wn.nr/rbX2mr

Thanks Larry, I just posted the link in the video description. https://bit.ly/PlugInBoutique_Pripyat_Piano

Funny thing! During the video you can sometimes hear the Cakewalk newsgroup notification alert!!!!! 😎

No worries, for those not able to sign in, just leave a comment on the video.

Fleer, I also purchased this earlier but it seems that that they did some updates and moved to using the Pulse Downloader. Send an email to support to see if they can set you up with a new code, that is what they did for me. All the best!

So you need to watch the video and register if you can using the link in the description. You can also leave a comment and I will pick 5 winners on Friday. Best of luck!

I just received an email from the developer and he has given me 5 Download Codes to giveaway for the Pripyat Piano.

I have been wanting to cover this piano library for some time and today is the day. it was recorded during 20 trips over a seven year time period going into the town of Pripyat which was the closest town to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It is on special now for $29 (reg. $199). I will also be covering the Nocturne Sounds Baby Grand Piano and Flintpope's Enhanced Piano. The livestream was a very moving for me so much that the person in the thumbnail below did not have a clue what he would be experiencing. So grateful for these opportunities. Replay here:

I had my time zones mixed up so I only caught the last few minutes or so during the premiere.

Its coming down as we speak. A little nervous and excited at the same time as this one is a little strange to say the least. ;^) More to come!

I just published some details on my site here: https://wp.me/p6Mqqs-Do Looks like a really interesting plugin and the initial cost of entry is very generous. At the bottom of my press release it seems that United Plugins has partnered with Melda Productions in regards to their licensing protocol as well as United Plugins partnering with them to offer their products as well.

Happy Father's Day! I thought I would share today's livestream with all of you. I am going to be taking a look at Soniccouture's Hammersmith Pro Steinway D piano library. There are times they have FREE licenses for their Light version that features the MID Mic perspective.

Yes, Windows only for now. This is sort of like starting at the ground floor of a new application which is very exciting as the more testers and input, the potential for more features. It looks like from the website there are some really interesting features still to come. The retrospective MIDI Recorder really caught my eye, as up to this point Cakewalk does not have this feature (yet, hoping), it is like so may ideas pass through the stream of consciousness and onto the keyboard only to be lost, now it is possible to have an idea catcher of sorts. Pianoteq has this "always listening" feature and out of some of the MIDI improvisations has come some interesting completed arrangements.

I have recently discovered Coyote MIDI. I use my nanoKONTROL not only for MIDI CC but as a sort of Streamdeck style hotkey setup for my livestreaming. I had been using another application to do the MIDI CC to Keystrokes but Coyote MIDI far surpasses it in functionality. Not only does it do a great job with MIDI CC to Keystrokes, but it also includes as Live MIDI RECORDER that is listening in the background and captures any MIDI going into it. So when you are just playing something, it captures it so you will not lose those moments of inspiration. There is a lot more that they have in mind as the application matures and they are in need of more testers to help kick the tires so to speak so if this is something you might be interested in, take a look at the website and download the FREE beta. There is also an active Discord server that is a great way to keep in touch. Enjoy: CoyoteMIDI // MIDI to Key Command Utility for Windows

Thanks so much. I guess it is confusing how the inputs and output flow is represented, it feels like the exact opposite of what you would expect. I will give it another go and see what happens. All the best!

The stream was so much fun and was very surprising how I still find new things about it. I hope you get a chance to check out the replay, some really fun and special moments.

I thought with the Heavyocity Summer Sale going on I would revisit ASCEND, which was one of my first piano libraries featured on the channel about a year or so ago. I look forward to seeing you here:

I am still recovering from a wonderful birthday this past weekend and wanted to try and catch up on the latest happenings. The replay is live and turned out to be the longest livestream yet! So many amazing discoveries. Thanks for all of the kind support, I really appreciate it.

One thing to remember, if I understand it correctly, is that the 14 day return policy only applies if you purchase directly from the VSL web shop.

This is a great opportunity to pick up the Synchron Piano you have been waiting for. The VSL pianos offer such great detail and choice of mic positions and expression. My favorite up to this point has been the Bösendorfer 280vc Full library, it just has such great versatility. Different demo licenses will be available each week so check them out! More info here: https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Synchron_Pianos_Bundle

I have had a pair for a while and they are really powerful for their size and a great second set of speakers to check your mixes on. I actually used the SPDIF out on my PreSonus Studio 6|8 and ran the RCA connections from a small converter box. On the subject of the original iLoud speaker, it is a beast and will surprise you with how much sound it can out into a room. I have taken it with me along with the iRig Keys IO to a couple of Chick-fil-A Christmas parties inside the restaurant and it was a lot of fun. I still want to get a pair of the iLoud MTMs. 😎

Just finished a livestream playing the Austrian Grand (better known as the Bosendorfer 280vc).

So glad you enjoyed the demo. Yes, these are all new for HALion by Acoustic Samples. The TGuitar is based on a Taylor, and the MGuitar is a Martin.
