Soundwise

Just read the news. Gosh, I'm shocked! RIP EVH!

I have SSL bundle and CLA Mixhub by Waves, British and White Channels by IKM, AS-Rack by Nomad and still couldn't resist adding this one to the collection. It's not better or noticeably different form other similar takes on the legendary Console. I just like that TMT thing and find PA plugins to be very stable, not resource hungry, which makes them a joy to use in any project.

That's why I kept using W8.1. Unfortunately, some software developers don't support W8.1 anymore, and their number will grow.

Like privacy settings, background activities, theming and appearance and quite a few registry tweaks. I'm new to Windows 10, guess, that's the reason why it took me more than a week. Of course, I had to re-install my purchased software and this alone took a full working day. Next time I might be able to do it all within a couple of days or half a week tops.

I've just finished installing the latest W10 (2004) on my machine. After hours and hours of tweaking and polishing, now the system performs as expected - it's fast, stable and responsive.

What's gonna happen to v1 license and installation after this upgrade? Will it still be available?

IMO, Studio version is a huge time saver when you often mix multitracks and the performers are notorious for bad timing and being out of tune. With good performers even Essential gets little to no use. Just saying.

SSD5.5 is a lot easier to use then previous versions. Sounds better, too. Kits load very fast, no complicated MIDI (re-)mapping required if you want to enhance a kit piece by adding another one on top if it. The plugin keeps the last loaded kit/kitpiece highlighted should you need to re-open the GUI. Grooves are now nicely organized by song parts and other attributes. And the icing on the cake is the 'Mono to Mono, Stereo to Stereo' routing preset, which is a godsend if you like to process kit pieces individually. Like it so far.

Same here. Instant buy. Not sure if I really need this or will prefer it against SD3, AD2, EZD2, Strike or even Session Drummer 3. But it's good to have Slate's samples at hand.

Hey Larry! Missed you so much, great to know you're back!

I think you nailed the tone with BM pack. This one, to my ears, sounds better than the real thing.

Not quite. Max includes Engl, Soldano, Jet City, Wampler, and then some.

Considering how long they've been working on the Satriani bundle, it might as well be Amplitube 5.

If it's the same strategy as the Samplitude X3->X4->X5, i.e., major version update without any significant changes/features, I'll stick to what I have and invest my money into something else. Hope it's not just a facelift.

Is this some kind of race? What's the prize?

I wonder what you can do with Cubase, that you can't with CbB? Been toying with the idea to get Cubase Pro or at least upgrade to the latest Elements.

Starting at 1:14. The true sound of the plugin. Not really impressive.

This is the IR loader plugin I've been waiting for! Very flexible, intuitive and easy to use. Only $10. Instant buy.

With this month's sales I got Fiedler Audio Stage and Noveltech Character for $9.99 each. Hope to put these little gems to good use.

I should've mentioned, I have un- and re-installed all AAS plugins prior to reporting this issue. No cigar. I believe, you installed the latest version, too. If not, please let me know, I'll try older versions.

Hi, I just checked AAS guitars in CbB, Reaper and SOP. They open and play fine in both Reaper and SOP, but there is no GUI nor sound in CbB. It happens only with AAS Strum GS-2 and Session and only in Cakewalk. Anyone encountered this already? I run W8.1x64 on Intel i7 Kaby Lake, RAM 16GB. UPD. There is also a severe memory leak, when GS-2 is loaded within Cakewalk.

Looking at pan/stage/3D plugins, particularly https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/schoeps_mono_upmix.html https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/fiedler_audio_stage.html https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/dearvr_music.html Some advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

One trick pony kind of amp, but if it's good enough for Michael Lee Firkins, it's a must have.

The installer program wants me to delete the previous version. I'm not willing to sacrifice the working setup for a version that requires going through the hoops of deleting an ilok product.

No way! Not abandonware any more?
