My age touchstone was being a teen when American Graffiti came out and thinking how funny and strange the music and the styles were back then. Then along came That 70s Show and I realized kids probably thought the same about the styles and music of my teen years. However, maybe it is just me but I don't think DSotM sounds as dated as say Bill Haley and His Comets.

Good point. Not my brother then.

I don't have an M1 machine so I can't verify this but this announcement from PA, https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/news/article/items/m-1-apple-silicon.html, seems to indicate that a good block of PA plugins do support M1 natively. If all PA is saying is that their plugins work fine under Rosetta then that would be serious misinformation. But it does not appear to me that this is the case. I would be interested to know what percentage of PA plugins are in fact currently M1 native.

My brother is my peer. If I explain sealioning to him and he in fact verifies that I have the correct definition, is that sufficient peer reviewed evidence that I have learned what the term means?

Sealioning, I have learned a new term! Just to be clear, I was not intending to sealion. Maybe it came across that way. I was not looking to shut down dialog nor to silence discontent of PA. Like Jesse G and LAGinz, I was interested in why people were so down on PA and Dirk in particular. Souterrain's comment did nothing to enlighten me. Your subsequent comments were more helpful. It allows me to form a more informed opinion and to determine whether what you describe is important to me.

@Marina Why the thumbs down? I was sincerely curious.

And how is that, exactly?

Talk about an off topic thread. 4 Posts about Ana 2.0 and all the rest about u-He and Arturia synths. You guys have outdone yourselves here.😄🤪

Happy birthday Larry. Wishing you many blessings for the next year.

That would assume I have an ApplePay account.

Does not seem to do PayPal. I don't feel good about giving them my credit card number.

The link in the email does not work, however the servers are not down. Use https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/home.

Back at you, southern neighbours, from the snowy land of Abbotsford (just to the right of Vancouver). Hope you all have a blessed Christmas and a great New Year that you may or may not remember.

Already had two so I got two more to complete my collection.

The mics are there; the problem is the actual search engine. For example, you need to search for C 12, U 47 Fet, U 67, etc. The entries themselves, for at least for the ones I looked at, were not just manufacturers blurbs. It does look like the recordinghacks site does have way more information though, including frequency response and links to the manufactures' websites. The site itself is butt ugly but that is just my opinion.

So nothing to do with Tolkien...

Day 12 is non-functional as well. This is starting to be a trend.

Likewise. I felt a bit awkward celebrating my 50th birthday the same year my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Or any significant anniversary actually. I could see people doing the math in their head.

And the website is overloaded again.

I am ready for our robot overlords. That is why I talk so nicely to my Google NEST.

I already have lo-ki and ha-pi. I am not sure I need another electric piano for $15.

You got this from this VI-Control thread. It has been linked to every time this topic comes up. It is a good summary. Should be a sticky.

BTW, Bellatrix Audio has two free sound sets for Spire: https://bellatrixaudio.com/product/aura-ii-spire/ https://bellatrixaudio.com/product/ambient-pads-spire/ Both are more than worth the download.

Is it sad that I feel relief when I see something is on sale and I discover that I already have it? I guess that is better than buying it and then discovering I already have it.

No.
