Personally I’m going to stick with my hardware. It’s a cheap entry for people though.

Pretty sure it’ll work for you too:

WELCOME-BACK-25-OFF
(use it on top of the plug-in voucher)

Knife Audio Soma for £6.00 because of this :). Thank you. I was resisting spending more on plugins, but, that was too good LOL.

I’m frivolous with my time. I’ve been ‘retired’ about 30 years. Raised my son, got unemployable aged and moving too much. Music is part of my life always has been I don’t do anymore than I used to. In fact at this point I do less ( recording wise). I do play live (online ) quite a bit nowadays.

Sorry, but everyone should delete their profiles there!  

I've not had anything Facebook related on in years. I stopped using it, and have zero regrets. I use nothing meta related at all.

Go Facebook.

Oh dear zod… 

Broken for me, just as well, I REALLY should not spend. I shall not?, spend... spend... &%$£@@!!

Hi, what's normal??

Anyone got a good tip on best practices for layers of sub sounds. The Roland site is, how can I put this succinctly, crap.

Stare at it now while it's still clean!  'Cause this is what will happen after you play for a bit!  😁

Lol, I hear ya!. I’m reasonably good at cleaning. Those rubber pads got nasty quickly on my old td10 back in 2001 I remember :). 

And now the real fun begins. I discovered I hadn’t installed the hihat fully with the securing clamp for the lower part. I have to say it’s very close to a real hihat in feel now. Need to definitely make up my own kit. BT1 percussion bar is going to be my cowbell or whatever going forward.  I need to make hihat play a mini tambourine on close a little rattle on play velocity. 

While I was on a Mac I had full set of newer Mackie MCUs. Each update to either OS X or Logic ProX meant they started playing up. I sold them. I bought a  Behringer X-Touch and got that working 100% all the time no matter what!. I loved them when they worked but they just were too fickle for me. Old stuff now as was said. 

I’m in the middle of a house move. I was going to get a portable drum room, but, in rental property from the 18th century, you’d still hear my acoustic drums. In addition, big cost very little chance of a return.., so, same cost… this!!

I’ll post again when all set up.

cheers

I have mixed feelings about this. Strongest about negative is to pay for a number of plug-in fixes… that’s definitely not right. I love quite a few of my waves plug-ins, but, time to replace them with stuff I always own and or similar things that update without wup.

I am not surprised as they always seemed to have the flakiest license management system. They use parchment and an abacus apparently.

100% agree!!. It’s what drove me to sub honestly. Clever marketing that is imho… 

I’m weak.. I gave in. I just had to grab the Amek TMT console… oh well lol.

thanks for this, just got me Brainworx bx_console AMEK 9099

That’s what almost got me too :). Bad exchange rate with 20% vat kills the deal for me right now too. Great purchase there!. 

This sale had me champing at bit, no blacklist as you say.. but in the end I suppressed my GAS. Just bought a new Roland TD50K2 kit, so trying to be good on surplus spending lol.

Got it, £20.. bleeding exchange rate used to make it cheaper. Great upgrade :).

Me too!!!

 

Some games are better played with a controller. You a real gamer, you'd know that!!

 

Sonic games on PC are best played with controller.

I play Destiny 2 on my PS5. This Wolfenstein feels more controller type. I've been playing PC games a LONG time :).

Bloody hard game to play even on casual. I feel I need a controller instead of keyboard and mouse.

They got ya, Tony, they got ya. 

Yes they did. And I’ve saved a lot of money from the old way. And I get to use what I always use. And if for some reason I can’t afford in the future to sub, my current advanced ownership is fairly current. No regrets so far.

I like my Izotope sub these days. Got sick of the silly cycles, love the products.

Now they got me, the Amek EQ was what I was waiting for, for ages :).
