The previous build was 2019.01 build 24. Build 27 came out in the last few hours.

Thanks Mark and apologies, you are quite correct. That'll teach me for not reading my own sig 😳

I will edit my post so as not to cause confusion. Sig also now updated.

Thanks bakers!

Thanks Mark. 

Thanks for the updates. 👍 Some useful additions and fixes.

The BA update failed but thanks for adding the "manual update" link to the failure message which sped up finding and downloading the update manually.

CbB update was quick and painless and it opened the project I was working on earlier today without issue.

Deleted (working now).

Hi ØSkald,

I'd say you did an excellent job! I don't know the song and haven't dissected it in detail but just A/B 'ing between your track and the version I found closest on YouTube it's pretty close. Cool solo and some nice harmony guitars. 

For anyone else listening the solo starts at about 2m 40s and I compared it to this version on YouTube (is this a good one to use  ØSkald?) :

One of the best Will! Such emotion conveyed in her voice it sends shivers down your spine. Also an exquisite acoustic guitarist. Songbird was my first album of hers closely followed by anything I could lay my hands on. I discovered her after she had died and I can remember reading her story and feeling depressed that there would be no new material to look forward to. That said there is plenty to enjoy and they even released a special remastered edition of Songbird last year with extra tracks. 

It's an impressive piece of music Rob.  I could easily imagine this opening a colonial war movie.

I like all of the various parts and how they transition.

The "damn the torpedoes" approach seems to have worked.

Beautiful song Bjorn with a lilting Celtic feel to it. 

It's fits so well with the poem by Robert Burns.

Hybrid Keys and Ethereal Earth as well.

Odd though that my Kontakt Factory library shows as updated, but still at version 1.3.0

Same here husker. 

However, I just checked and I see that it's the free Factory Selection that is updated to 1.4.2.

Larry, are you sure it's the Fatory Library you are seeing at v1.4.2 and not the Selection?

Thanks HS. I shall give this a go at this price.

I notice that you can also buy at this price even if you don't have a song ready. Instructions for doing this are given at the flash sale link. 

I listened to Broken in Silence and it is spectacularly good! I can hear some influences from Thomas Dolby.

Every aspect sounds pro. Very nice work. I plan on catching up on the other songs today!

Great work Noel! Really enjoyed it.

I can also hear elements of Return to Forever but it actually reminds me of a Bill Bruford album I had on vinyl way back when ( called Feels Good to Me).

Thanks also for the CbB/Bandlab usage  insights.

Really beautiful piece.

Would love to see how you put something like this together. 

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent song, production and video. The video was a perfect match for the song.

You also managed to keep it interesting from beginning to end by subtle changes throughout.

Sweet tones and impressive playing.

I know it's not about the song but I actually quite liked all the different sections accentuated by different tones.

Might want to check out this thread before doing the update... 

Ok thanks Mark. 

Thanks Skyline and Mark.  

I was once caught out by a Melodyne upgrade on SPlat which was unusable for months so I always hold off doing upgrades immediately even though I keep previous versions which can be re-installed.

I am still happily running Editor v4.1.1.011 which works without issue although I have downloaded v4.2.0.020 - is that the same sub-version as you Mark?

Thanks Mibby. 

MTurboDelay has been nagging away at me so I finally got it before the end of the sale. 

I picked up MUnison in the APD deal Fleer and it certainly does a lot! Not even scratched the surface yet. 

Chandler's got a couple of YT vids on it which are worth a look.

SPAK,

Do you have loopback enabled in the dspmixfx program? This can cause feedback in some cases depending on your setup. See here....

Excellent arrangement and recording Will. I think your vocals and guitar sound great together.
That LR Baggs system sounds very natural.

Will be interested to hear the baritone guitar version when you do one.

BTW this time I am only listening to one song at a time and I'm sober ☺️

Be aware of the problems you're gonna get into when trying to get arp vst's to work in CbB.

CbB sees them as vsti and getting an instrument to connect to another instrument in CbB is hard.

I have 10+ hours of getting Bluearp to work and still no success. I read a post in this forum that had a tip on midifx i shall try.

In reaper i had Bluearp working after 15 minutes. That include time to learn how to start a track and add a vst.

Yes I always have to scratch my head to get this type of thing working. I have taken to saving a CbB project entitled, for example, "Obelisk Demo" or similar once I get it working to remind me later on what I did to get it working. Then I can refer back to the project when I next want to use it.

Here is an example for Kirnu Cream which I own (the paid version of Kirnu listed in TS's post).

• Insert an instrument track (I used AAS Ultra Analogue Session) and select a sound that would work well for an ARP pattern. Split the track (into MIDI and Audio). You can of course drag and drop an instrument from the browser instead and use the defaults which will create a separate Instrument (Audio) and MIDI track. 
• Insert another instrument track selecting Kirnu Cream (or whatever you want) and split this also.
• In Kirnu Cream UI go to the VST menu and make sure Enable MIDI input and output are both ticked.
• Record some notes in the Ultra Analogue Session MIDI track (long held notes work best for ARP generators).
• Set the output of the Ultra Analogue Session MIDI track that you just recorded to Kirnu Cream.
• Set the input of the Kirnu Cream MIDI track to All Inputs Omni (or a specific channel if you prefer).
• Set the output of the Kirnu Cream MIDI track to Ultra Analogue Session.
• Hit the play button and your recorded MIDI will now be modified by Kirnu Cream and playback through Ultra Analogue Session.

N.B. In my example I notice that the Kirnu Cream MIDI input echo button is enabled and cannot be disabled (only toggled from On to Thru). So if you are having trouble make sure that this is enabled. None of the other tracks have any monitoring enabled.

If anyone wants a copy of my project file showing the setup for Kirnu Cream, Riffer or Obelisk drop me a PM (you will need to own whichever ARP plugin is in use although it might still work for demo versions - not sure).

This reply is probably better moved to the Q&A forum although it is directly relevant and might help anyone who downloads anything mentioned in TS's post.

Thanks Larry. Seems pretty impressive for the money... 

Oh No! My GAS resistance is wavering. 

This looks quite unique and also for anyone without full Kontakt it uses Plogue Sforzando for a change.

Would also be interested in the Defil Mambo bass library if they ever find one to sample.

We're going on a GAS hunt.
We can't go over it. 
We can't go under it. 
Oh no! We've got to go through it!
