My guess is that all Neural DSP plugins are optimized for Intel CPUs. I was starting to suspect why they were so slow to respond on my system, despite a good portion of the tones being reproducible in other plugins that used a fraction of ethe CPU.

So, they went from being free with and purchased a few days ago to just plain freeware. That was fast.

I would avoid anything from NZXT. They're currently in a series of issues over a badly designed PCIe riser in one of their cases that is a real fire hazard as tested by Gamers Nexus.

I'm gonna suggest that you weren't running in USB 2.0 or your USB controller didn't have enough lanes. I forgot to mention that the USB standard is backwards compatible. If you have USB 1 devices in the same bus... All USB devices will run at USB 1 speeds. There's nothing wrong with USB 2.0. When RME released their Babyface Pro, they decided to make it USB 2 when everyone was starting to talk about releasing USB 3 interfaces. Their reasoning was that it was not necessary. Before that they even had a 25 channel USB 1 interface.

Using Drum Maps would be ideal... If the Drum Map manager wasn't this slow unintuitive piece of feature.

I'm gonna suggest that these are probably caused by CbB sort of prioritizing drawing graphics over processing audio. If you start having too many visual elements on screen at the same time, it starts to become slow to respond. This tends to happen at the Console view quite a bit.

Or "If it ain't broke, fix until it breaks then complain about it."

The urge to upgrade is often strong and in some cases, like mine, upgrading to a new PC would be beneficial... If I could afford to do that. However, if your cpu is somewhat recent and you have enough RAM, the more recent instruction sets and fast enough video hardware and storage, getting a new machine might only represent a marginal update in performance. If were taking a PC that's purpose built for audio, reliability is more important that performance. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If I'm not mistaken Steve from Gamers Nexus, a YouTube channel about enthusiast hardware, still runs a FX 8000 CPU in his personal computer. In his words, it does everything he needs and the types of games he plays run fine in there.

I think I maybe used one Melda plugin in a mix after all this time with the free bundle installed. Their plugins have extra functions that are not intuitive to figure and they don't seem to have any written documentation either.

Not quite. PC emulates the 4000 G and E. T-Racks does both, with the White Channel emulating the 9000K and the British Channel giving you the 4000J or K (don't remember) with or without Max Martin's modifications to the lower frequencies. I haven't used the others. I tried the SSL bundle at one point and the Vocal strip was very nice although not something I couldn't replicate using other plugins I have.

I have been piling those for quite a while since a friend gave me a Live Lite 8 key he wasn't gonna use a few years ago.

Replace your main OS drive with a SSD first before buying a new PC and see if I you can either add more RAM or upgrade to the FX 8000 models.

I'll wait patiently for the "Free Ableton 11" post.

Well, then maybe one should start making a table of potential Waves plugins replacements?

SSL ironically doesn't emulate their own hardware better than the other alternatives.

I don't trust any company to respect UI conventions and such. They removed the oversampling options in the Archetype Gojira plugin. All other plugins before it have it.

Waves charges a single sum to upgrade all your plugins to the latest version.

You might have not recognized then when they were part of the Duende DSP rack, then later became Duende Native. Quite expensive for the time at around 3 grand for the entire suite. I believe they precede T-Racks, the Waves stuff, Slate Digital (the company, not the plugins).

Wusik is a business. A business that sells a product. As a business, you should either be accountable for your mistakes or stop running said business. People gave this person money for a product he promised to deliver and all they're getting back at endless sales and BS. That doesn't sound like someone struggling with mental health, but a crook trying to justify not delivering a service people paid for and area waiting for quite a long time. I'm gonna use my depression and panic attacks as excuses to delaying my payments to the bank. Maybe they'll fell empathy for me.

I find a bit odd that the quad cortex has almost the same ui the helix does.

SSL also has this exact bundle as 15$/month subscription. It's perhaps the only thing they thought right software-wise.

Judging by the post right above mine, you don't have that money either, so I won't be wasting my time.

In my experience, auto gain algorithms never set your gain correctly. Either the signal goes in too hot or not enough of it. It should take you no more than 5 seconds to set gain for each input.

Since the post will end up being deleted anyways without any reason specified, pointing it out wouldn't do anything. Think of poor Shostakovich and his symphony to celebrate JoStal.

As one often says: companies are not your friends. A similar policy could be seen with upgrading to versions of Cubase 10. If you owned LE, it would seem cheaper to upgrade to an intermediary version first, then to Pro... Except there's no price difference. Upgrading from LE to Pro in one go would cost you the same as going from LE to, Artist (which they removed in version 11), then to Pro.
