  1. I agree I was surprised to see this as a freebie as Arturia usually charge for their Newloops packs which i've found a lot more usable than some of the overly produced ones.

    Considering Bitwig

    Hi, Have you tried the Time Shift tool for your use case? The Bitwig Discord is where Bitwiggers hangout for more questions like this https://discord.gg/zc6S6rza Yea I found the opposite. I found the side by side clip launcher to arranger really inspiring over Abletons Mixer style clip launcher. I guess it depends on what you are doing as to which features appeal either way. Also Bitwig doesnt need retrospective recording baked in, thats the old constrained Ableton way of thinking. Bitwig's modular workflow lets you put multiple devices in line on the same track and the MIDI chains through so put in something like Birds MIDI cap on a track and you have a much more useful and visual retrospective MIDI record implementation than Live.
  3. These are the bonus soundbanks that you only get for free with the upgrade to V Collection X
  4. Sonically there is no difference nor advantage to be had between the VST2 / VST3 formats they would sound identical. Assuming you are not using a legacy DAW and something up to date the only format that would make a difference is CLAP which offers voice spread functions etc etc.
  5. Only in the sophistic realms of marketing managers imaginations is F'em a $179 synth. Historically its been regularly discounted to $30 or so which is a fair price, the $49 touted for this sale seems a little pricey. The expansion packs look like a deal though.
  6. The $29 deal was under the old pricing model where you had to pay for the effects separately. Now that the hosts drive the revenue instead I suspect that this will be as good as it gets.
  7. Not $20 it was $9 back in May. At least thats what I paid for it direct.
  8. Thanks for the responses if its not a common problem then it looks like its something at my end, so a fair amount of step by step elimination awaits . . .
  9. HI, Every now and then for me Cakewalk randomly boosts the gain to maximum. This happens to either individual VSTs or audio tracks, frustratingly the event does not appear in the undo menu. When it occurs its sudden without any obvious trigger. I thought at first it was a controller sending rogue MIDI data but it seems to happen even when all my controllers are switched off. I was thinking at first it might be my MIDI interface or maybe a driver issue but googling around I see that Cakewalk was heavily impacted by unresolved bugs in the past, before I replace the interface has anyone else experienced this?
  10. I just checked both scenarios and they work flawlessly Win 10 , I5, 8 Gig. There really isn't any reason not to upgrade to Win 10 other than ten minutes of your time.
  11. I only recently upgraded my i5 Win 10 system from 4gb to 8gb. I use it for heavyweight DAW, gaming and photography use. I have never experienced any memory problems whatsoever. It is extremely unlikely you will need any more than 8gb in my experience. A lot of the expectation for more is just from aggressive sales tactics from big PC companies trying to flog you stuff that you really dont need.
  12. proteus Vx is just a standalone player implementation of the Emu Emulator X3 VST sampler. The X3 was 64bit and looks like it works fine with cakewalk, You could load up X3 and load your VX banks into that and it would essentially be identical. Getting hold of a copy shouldnt be too difficult. The only problem you might face is that the X3 has long been abandoned so there is no activation server anymore, however there are numerous forums with work arounds for this.
  13. I had a very similar problem and after many hours of checking with a variety of different combinations of projects, VSTs and drum maps came to the conclusion that there is a bug that prevents output under certain combinations. Try a new project or get a different VST. works as a workaround.
