Cue in the.......

subscription pandemic

Linux is better

(said no major DAW developer ever)

More like $200 WUP (Windows Update Plan) and $29 Pro features or subscription to full pro! 😆

If windows 11 is true then Microsoft would be going against it's own words saying Windows 10 will be the last edition and just updates going forward.

I prefer glass water bottles, sorry. 😛

All he needs to do now is go from King to Pirate......of the Caribbean 😜

If you have the session version of LL4 you can upgrade for 50% off. So for $49 you also get the sound pack included for free! I just did.

Update for Falcon too

Can you guys tell me the benefits of upgrading from Kontakt 6 player to Kontakt full.  I understand about most libraries needing full, but is there more to it than that?

thanks

(wish I would have waited to purchase guitar rig 6, dang)

Kontakt full comes with Kinetic Treats, Retro Machines MK2, Analog Dreams, Ethereal Earth, Hybrid Keys, and large factory library of sounds (about 24GB). I was impressed with the factory library more than anything. It has a lot of useful samples that covers a lot of basic instrument sounds plus some I didn't know I needed. 

I got it so I don't have to be frustrated each time I read "FULL KONTAKT REQUIRED!!!" 🤦‍♂️😫 lol.  But finding all the stuff included in it was a nice surprise and made the purchase worth it, to the point that I don't have to go out and get a ton of free or cheap libraries to fill in the basics.

I'm going to pass on getting Komplete too. I don't need any of their Effects and Synths. I have better equivalents. As far as samples go, I already have a ton of samples which include samples from Computer Music Magazine, Ultimate RMX 30K Bundle, Reason 11 Suite, MPC2, IK Sampletank SE, plus all the free ones I downloaded over time. Add that plus the factory library of Kontakt full and whatever I got for UVI Workstation and Falcon. I think I'm good LOL!

If I ever need anything more I would just get it separately. My physical modeling REs/VSTs do help fill in a lot of gaps though.

It's usually a free 3rd Party Instrument, like Drum'ica that gets you the crossgrade...
there is no crossgrade from the Player version
 

I got the crossgrade because I had the Arcane instrument. I had it since last year and was waiting for this moment to finally arrive! The wait was worth it! 😜

I just got Kontakt crossgrade from free player for $124!!! 😲😃😎

Using the third preset in this gratis pack "Additivity", if I play some chords the audio in Phase Plant breaks up horribly.  And that's at a crazy 2048 sample size on the ASIO driver.  I see this in both Cakewalk and Nuendo 11 (so it's not just Cakewalk).  I even tried 44.1khz (I normally use 48khz).  I'll admit I haven't played much with Phase Plant since I got it, but this isn't the only patch that seems to have broken audio.  May be a CPU thing (though the Cakewalk meters aren't showing anything crazy.  Nuendo's audio performance meters do redline.

Could be just me, but I thought I'd ask if others are seeing this kind of performance before I go chasing it.

The preset is crazy to begin with. I tried playing 3 notes and it was fine. But as soon as I press like 5 notes simultaneously then I get noise and CPU goes to like 50%-60%. 

Even though I already have UVI Falcon. I just fed my GAS addiction and got Phase Plant + Toolbox Professional with the upgrade sale. 😆

The only one I had a problem with is Sonivox Vocalizer Pro. Never install that, unless you want a BSOD! >_<

All their products have just updated again. Check and see if this fixes any issues.

The Beta you mean

OK, so I tested it again. I can load 6 instances (VST3) of Chromaphone 3 and it works fine as long as I am loading them one at a time. If I try to duplicate 6 at once or create six tracks at once then Cakewalk wont respond. So it works for me as long as I don't overwhelm Cakewalk. So I would say that it isn't as efficient as it should be.

I was able to add 6 instances of Arturia Pigments 3 simultaneously or duplicate 5 instances of it. Both scenarios worked just fine. I even tried to load 6 instances all in one go of UVI Falcon and it worked just fine.

P.S. The crashes don't seem to be consistent either. Sometimes it would crash after loading 1 or 3 or 4 all in one go when 6 is selected. But If I am loading a project that has multiple instances of it, than its fine. So I would say that it isn't Cakewalk or my computer not being able to handle it. But rather the plugin not being as efficient as it should be. The fact that I was able to load plugins that I thought would be heavier very easily compared to Chromaphone 3 or Ultra Analog VA-3 says something. 

I did try to load 4 instances of both Chromaphone 3 or Ultra Analog VA-3 all in one go again before posting this and it did work. So I would say that the plugin is just not as reliable with many instances. But it can work. Just be sure to save your work. 😜

Did you update to the latest versions of AAS (as this thread stated)? If yes, do me a favour:

Try opening three instances of the Chromaphone 3 in the same session.

Do they all open?

Is there an unusual lag in opening time?

Do they all function correctly when played in the same session?

Cheers.

Yes. I verified that I was using the same version. First time I load the plugin it takes about 3 seconds to load. When I open it, it takes 3 seconds to open. But then it works just fine. When I close the plugin window then re-open it, it does so immediately. This is the same with the other 3 instances. Once all are loaded and opened at least once, they open immediately when opened again.  I also did this while I had another project already opened with 3 instances of Ultra Analog VA-3.

Keep in mind that I have a fairly new high end PC. 

p.s. The first time I tried to test after reading your post, I had tested Chromaphone 3 and it worked fine. Then I attempted to duplicate the track and Cakewalk crashed (not responding). I closed and re-opened Cakewalk and did the same thing, but this time it didn't crash. First time that happened for me, and all the other times I tested it nothing out of the ordinary happened. This may have been nothing to do with AAS and perhaps because I had just opened Cakewalk for the first time today and tried to do everything fast while other stuff was working in the background and I didn't wait. IDK.

Guys, anyone who hasn't updated to the latest AAS versions - you might want to hold off. It isn't playing well with the latest CbB build. The result is that you cannot open more than one instance of AAS in a project, as well as general slow loading.

I don't know if this effects other DAWs - anyone seen problems?

I'm using the latest CbB build and latest version of Chromaphone 3 and Ultra Analog VA-3. Seems to work fine for me. 

Bandlab Assistant updates have been working for me for many versions. I'm always on the latest Windows 10.

I ran it again recently and this time it gave me no errors and I was able to install the update.

I find myself using Pigments a lot to find the sounds I like (and I have MANY synths). HIGLHY recommended! Especially with the 3.0 update!

😎

Thanks to CM I now have both Slice and Carve EQ FREE!
