For reference, Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 release until October 14, 2025

By that time W11 is bound to get mature enough. But, as soon as majority of users move to W11, MS will introduce their next OS. Probably, something with winDar kernel, native support for M1 chips and hopefully fully implemented Thunderbolt support.

I used to wonder, why does it take so long to release an update. Now we know

Wonder how it compares to CLA MixHub

Is there a "Paul" vst that comes in later and re-records them?

I'm in the market for "Imagine" VST to lift off some boundaries.

Request. Please, whenever you post  a deal, make sure the product doesn't require having a microscope and polarizer!!!

Good to see you Larry!

@Soundwise - I can repo.  I'm on vacation next week, but I've sent Noel my steps to reproduce.

 

Good to know! Thank you!

No aux tracks. A very simple project with just a few tracks. I'll share it ASAP.

What happened to the Solo Exclusive mode? It doesn't work the way it used to. Have there been any breaking changes that I might have missed?

Currently, when I enable SE mode, set desired tracks to always on with Shift-click on corresponding Solo buttons (I think it's called solo override) and then try to toggle between other tracks by clicking on their solo buttons all I hear is only one of the soloed tracks. All other tracks are muted, regardless of the Solo Override setting.

I can't see any benefits in using obsolete 1930's vacuum tube technology either.

Or the thousands-year-old technology of making sounds by blowing through a cylinder or rubbing tensioned strings together or plucking them.

 

Oh, wait.....

Hmm... I was talking about signal quality while processing recorded performance and you are talking about age of technology and making sounds.

I see them as fancy saturation plugins...

That's what they are. Maybe I just don't want that style of saturation in my tracks.

I’d give my X-pedals for these Tapes anytime. 

I thought X-Gear series is meant to be Amplitube in a box. Having a software version of a hardware version of the original software version is kind of gimmicky to me. No offense intended.

As for tape machine emulators, I genuinely tried to find a place for them in my workflow, but eventually had to give up. Can't see any benefit of mimicking tape style signal degradation.

Python, C and Java. Spaces all the way!

Looks like they've modeled Marty's amp.

Not bad for just $300.

PM me for $25 voucher.

Opticom is great , did ya tried the orange amp , i don't use AT bass amp that much either but the Trace Elliote , the orange and the Fender are exellent 

Sure! I have IK Orange collection and do think amp emulations there are great, although cabs are not so much.  I also tried Orange emulation by bx and, unfortunately, not impressed with it. I think AT, RV4 and Black Rooster have excellent Orange amp-sims, arguably, the best up-to-date.

As for IK Fender and Trace-Elliot, they still feel more like pedals than real amps, lacking that sheer dynamic range, creamy compression and juicy roar. Same is true for all other Fender amp-sims, which doesn't mean that you can't get great clean tones out of any of them.

I don't dig Amplitube bass amps. They sound kind of funny to my ears. Surprisingly, GTR3 is still alright for bass guitar processing, although normally I just use Opticom XLA-3  and a bass IR.

$57.95 to update Editor from 4 to 5. Is it worth it? Have you, guys, noticed a significant improvement of v5 over v4?

have you guys used Audio Assault's IR loader?

https://audio-assault.com/air.php

at $10 is tempting

Very easy to use. Can't go wrong with it.

Just tried the SuperCabinet and bundled libraries. Carving a nice combination out of user IRs is tedious and tiresome. No module preset/setting management is a huge disappointment. Libraries are kind of meh, not worth the money.

Anybody else use it, think its ok?

STRIKE is another I dont bother with.

I love Air instruments. Structure has some very nice sounds, particularly, orchestral, pop brass and electric guitar, and Strike is perfect for quick and dirty sketches and drafts. As for synths, Hybrid and Loom are my go-to ones.

For a quick, easy, master it's pretty nice...very much ala Lurssen, 
but it don't beat Ozone 9 Advanced....that's where the party is at!
I haven't used anything that compares (obviously some "Mastering Chains" of
individual effects can produce the same, or better, results - but I'm speaking
of "all-inclusive" processors)

O9A, in turn, doesn't beat some expensive outboard gear, which don't beat a professional mastering facility run by an outstanding mastering engineer.  When it comes to perfection, sky is the limit.

This plugin adds a unique 3D quality to OK sounding mixes. Great tool for instant mix polishing.
