  1. Right-click that button and see if a menu pops up. In some VI's that will indicate what triggers that articulation.
  2. I have had no stability issues with BFD3 on Win11.
  3. So, all the reviews say how good this sounds. But it's a convolutional reverb. With the same IRs, shouldn't they ALL sound the same? For instance, I currently use Waves' IR-L. What would I gain from using this one?
  4. FYI, you can't claim your monthly free plugin when buying this.
  5. According to https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/string-machine-by-eastwest/ $52.96 from everyplugin.com is the cheapest this has ever been!
  6. There's an entire discussion of this at KVR. The bottom line is Waves uses their proprietary WIR ("Waves IR") format. Someone wrote a utility to covert these to the more universal WAV format. But, as shown in the KVR link, it doesn't work on the most recent WIR versions. So, at the moment, the only thing you can do to use a WIR file in someone else's convolutional reverb is to: make an impulse file (make a 96kbps file that is 6 seconds long, or more depending on how large you want the file, consisting only of a single +1 fullscale sample and the rest are all 0). send that file into the Waves IR of choice at 100% wet, no filters. add gain to the result so the max amplitude is ~-0.1 dB (or closer if you wish). save the result as a *.WAV file. You now have a general format IR of that one Waves reverb that can be used in any convolutional reverb that can import WAV files. I've done this a total of one time...

    BFD 3 $99

    Same. I've had no serious issues with BFD,
  8. The Studio Bundle on all these reseller sites says it includes smart:limit and smart:comp. But the Sonible says it includes the newer version smart:comp2. Basically the Studio Bundle includes the Dynamics Bundle + smart:reverb (= Smart Bundle) and the Special EQ Bundle, but not the Metering or Pure Bundles.

    BFD 3 $99

    There is now a 3.4.5 Update available. Run the BFD License Manager. No issues for me. Don't Crac{k} still has this for $99. https://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=4010
  10. And if anyone wants to hear Indiginus' Renegade guitar (and Resonator guitar), you can hear them in action here. I also used Amplesound's banjo and upright bass. And there's the OrangeTree Mandolin as well. They make a nice bluegrass ensemble. If I were to add another instrument it would be Indiginus' Fiddle.
  11. Guys, guys.... Be patient. Save your money. Buy the Studio Max bundle when it's on sale and don't worry about it.
  12. I have no issues with the performance of Waves' plugins or their installer. If you're gonna WUP, this is the time. The $240 max drops to $160 thru https://everyplugin.com/waves-upgrades. It's been worth it to me. My problem is I've already spent my allowance on the OTS Stick and those TDR/Softube specials at AudioDeluxe. And now I also have a student discount at https://www.babylonwaves.com/ the expires in 48hrs. And next month's allowance is already allocated to the expected Kontakt sale.
  13. I like the sound of Indiginus' instruments but am often frustrated by the inflexibility of the articulations. Trills and hammer-ons can be selected to follow the scale notes or semitones, which often don't cover all the options I need. For example, while in the key of G for bluegrass, I often need articulations to hit Bb, Eb, F (the minor 3rd of the I, IV, and V chords). You'd think semitones would enable me to hit those, which they do sometimes, but not if I want to slide from Bb to C, for example. There is no one key to get the notes I need. The best way I found to get what I want is to MIDI learn the Master Key and change that on the fly. This works quite well, although it takes some work to figure which key to use to get the interval I want. Also, it was a little tricky to get the mapping from CC value to Master Key. To save someone else some time, I have listed this mapping below. I hope someone finds a use for this besides me. CC Master Values: Key 1-2: C/Am 3-8: C#/Bbm 9-13: D/Bm 14-19: Eb/Cm 20-24: E/C#m 25-30: F/Dm 31-35: F#/Ebm 36-41: G/Em 42-46: Ab/Fm 47-52: A/F#m 53-57: Bb/Gm 58-63: B/G#m 64-69: Cm harm 70-74: C#m harm 75-80: Dm harm 81-85: Ebm harm 86-91: Em harm 92-96: Fm harm 97-102: F#m harm 103-107: Gm harm 108-113: Abm harm 114-118: Am harm 119-124: Bbm harm 125-127: Bm harm
  14. As owner of EastWest Spaces II, would you please tell me if it includes IRs for the Ryman Auditorium? Thank you, sir.
  15. According to https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/string-machine-by-eastwest/ this is the lowest price ever for String Machine!
  16. FYI, AmpleSound guitars have a variable slide based on the velocity of the destination note. However, the fret noise during slides seem a little too loud to me and cannot be adjusted.
  17. This one certainly passes as a classical guitar. But the slide fret noise seem overly loud (a common problem with other VIs, too). The attack seems overly bright (it sounds like the player is always using a rest stroke). Are there hammer-ons/pull-offs? They sound like just short slides (which sound different). This could be a big omission. If you're looking for something more authentic you'll have to wait for a summer sale and get AmpleSound or OrangeTree. IMHO those are still the best ones out there right now.
  18. Same here. But the website does say: -20% DISCOUNT FOR REMATRIX FULL OWNERS Get this library 20% off using the personal coupon code.

    Piano-In-Blue $49

    Hmmm, back when I was auditioning all my piano samples I wrote down that this one had some broken hammers and black-listed it. I think that means there was too much hammer noise on some samples. Doesn't anyone else hear these? Unfortunately I didn't write down which notes were the problems.
  21. Ahh, now it works. My upgrade price is $209.65. I only have 10 of the 32 plugins, so this would be about $9.50 per plugin. Would I use them? Still thinking on this one.
  22. Thanks, but that sounds like a really convoluted workflow (nyuk, nyuk). I found it easier to just send an impulse thru the reverb and save the output as a *.wav file. It's OK for a few IR's but Waves comes with 1000's. A script is the only way to do that effectively and the only one I know of (wir2wav from github doesn't appear to work on the new files). Thus my request if anyone knows of an alternative converter.
  23. https://www.eventideaudio.com/plug-ins/anthology-xii/ Enhance the Sound of your Recordings and Mixes with Anthology XII. Upgrades as low as $29! And the website says "Save over 60% on the most comprehensive plug-ins collection for mixing & mastering". But I think the website is having difficulties right now because it's not recognizing my existing products that would be eligible for a discount. Yesterday my price was $299 but today I just see the full sale price of $599.
  24. I'd love to stop using Waves, but I can't find a way to convert their WIR (Waves IR) files to the more universal WAV file. That Python script doesn't appear to work anymore. Where else can I get my hands on an IR for the Ryman Auditorium? As it is, I'll keep using their IR1 and IRL convolutional reverbs.

    I've had no issues with BFD in the past few years. I love the sound.
