Quick Math

There are two possible bugs I have encountered.

The first one occurs when I assign a knob to a VST plugin's parameter in the FX chain. When I move the knob, nothing happens—it doesn't work. However, when I close the UI and move the FX chain to a different track, the knob works perfectly.

The second bug I experienced was related to using the quick group feature to change plugin parameters on multiple tracks in the mixing console view. Specifically, when I tested it with the Air Windows console plugin, some of the parameters didn't work properly. I had to reassign them, and then they functioned correctly.

I haven't tried to reproduce them in a different project file.

I can't really say much about the quality differences, but generally speaking, paid plugins sound really good.

Cakewalk by BandLab comes with the PC4K S-type Bus compressor, which is free and should have somewhat of an SSL sound. The PC4K S-type Channel Compressor is a paid plugin. There's also a paid SSL channel strip made by Sonimus, which is not an exact emulation. The compressor on the strip looks more like a bus compressor than a channel compressor, and it doesn't have a gate. So, you could potentially use the free 4k bus compressor in a similar way as you would with the Sonimus SSL channel strip, maybe.

If you are a beginner, I recommend demoing some paid plugins to understand how they sound. By doing that, you may realize how easily you can achieve the sound you are looking for.

Looks like I need to email them >_<

I also just bought Mixbox  thinking it would work. I haven't received the license so I can't register it now but hope it's not excluded from the group buy...

I can get ik tape free on purchase on audio deluxe and then I can join this group buy?

I like Swedone.

Swedone

Plugin doctor demo version is actually enough to analyze single plugins

If you want to mimic the curve of a plugin chain then this one is very useful.

So in that sense, both are not free but free.

What's this?

69? 760?

It seems like Helios 69

You can try Unlimited. Its a free plugin and relatively easy to use (no attack nor release).  It's probably the best among free limiter plugins and I think it's as good as commercial products or even better.

Other than that, some people say they like barricade by tonebooster which used to be a commercial product. Their v3 plugins are free so you could try it as well. 

Personally I do not own Adaptive limiter so I wish I could have it. 

I bought FL studio so many years ago.

I really like how they get all cool new features over the years even though I never really finished a single song on FL studio. I wonder if I ever get used to it...

It looks super cool that you can use Patcher and creat your own GUI for it...

Math thank you very much, I'll try your council , have you tried to contact Tokyo Down software ?
I tried on Studio One and it's works fine , it could be cakewalk issue ? 
@Noel Borthwick did you know this issue ?

No, I haven't contacted TDR so maybe we could ask them. There was a thread about it like a year ago. 

I also had a similar problem for VST3 versions of TDR plugins last time(a few months ago though).

I saw a post somewhere,  it works if you don't use 64 bit double precision.

But if this is a kind of bug that can be fixed, I want this to be fixed.

After buying the issue, you need to request (register) the license, and the website requires an email address but it apparently doesn't accept gmail so you might need to contact them.

In my case, I tried gmail as well as other email address but none worked. I contacted them and I got the license.

At this price I’m seriously considering buying Passive-Active Pack myself, but the deal lasts until April 12th so I have a few remaining days to think. Should I buy it, the only Softube ProChannel module I’ll be missing is the TSAR-1R Reverb. Until that one turns up with a big discount, of course.

Same, TSAR-1R is the only ProChannel I don't own. TSAR-1R usually goes as low as $39 but I hope it goes lower than that. Untill then I will wait.

This is the cheapest price I have ever seen so I bought it!

After installing the plugin, the ProChannel version didn't work so I tried this version (v2.5.39.0) instead.

 I installed it to a different directory and then moved the Softube folder that contains vst2 dlls to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal

It seems the installer overwrites vst3 files so you could temporarily remove the vst3 dll files to somewhere.

(I didn't do that so my VST3 files are v2.5.39.0 and VST2 files arev2.5.58.0...)

Also I didn't test them that much yet but it seems working.

good one indeed 😂

I bought Samplitude Pro Suite a few months ago (the upgrade price was $149 iirc) and thought I'd use Independence Pro but it is tied to ST and can't use it on other DAWs...

You gotta run away to a hill when there's a Tsunami. Staying calm isn't a good idea.

Also me staying calm was the reason I missed the recent infinistrip deal. Act quickly...

I thought I would buy this today 🙂 I knew $49 was too low and worried about this this. But I was on the fence and thought tomorrow I could buy it after waking up I would buy it.

Sadness

Very good what you are doing.
Most of the problems to be addressed for the perfect performance of some tasks in programs like this is that you have to do a lot of preparation of the screen that will be manipulated, because if the application itself does not have a number of SHORTCUT KEYS that can facilitate this.

For years I worked as a developer in a financial institution in Brazil where I developed many keyboard macros, because the application that made the "emulation" of the IBM Terminal (EXTRA) has a very powerful language for that.

Thanks! I was testing a script.  With this macro,  it automatically sets selected tracks out puts to a new aux track.

It's slow and not so reliable...but it works!

I am just saying this because I was thinking about making a program for my personal use, I am lazy so I could not finish making it for Cakewalk but I have thought about how I could automate things in a DAW.

My idea is not probably so efficient in terms the logic behind it because I am not a "real" programmer but with Python, I can make a small GUI program like a macro bar that has buttons that can run other scripts or any functions I code. And then I can trigger these buttons by assigning shortcut keys. by combining  autohotkey, I can, with just a single key stroke,  first activate the Macro Bar program so the program is focused can receive the shortcut and the press the button and that runs a python script which can do many kinds of things.

You can automatically send key input, you can move mouse ,click on a certain X Y position on the screen or you can also do image search/color search on the screen and then click the image etc.. Well I have to think about how exactly I can achieve certain things like selecting certain tracks or move faders, but in theory, many things are technically possible.  

I have made a macro bar for bitwig studio, which only can trigger a shortcut key of bitwig so it's not doing anything crazy but in theory, I can assign certain mouse movement or something.

Woah, incredible guitar super cool. The sound is cool too.

I like this kind of music but do not know much.

I used to have jam session over the internet and I played drums and this song reminds me of that time. Ever time I hear other players do cool stuff, I got so excited and felt I should try something cool. as well.

I don't know how this was recorded but hearing the guitar part would have been exciting for that drummer as well!

The drum sound is also cool

I want to share some things I discovered recently. I have installed Linux on my SSD USB stick. So I use linux as well, only sometimes though.

So Bitwig announced CLAP last year and CLAP can be used on Linux as well. I was checking what tools are there available. And I found a DAW that nobody really knows but looks good. It can be used on Linux, Mac, and Win.

https://www.zrythm.org/en/index.html

There are also some developers who makes plugins for Linux, such as Overtone DSP, they seem like they are not making any new plugins for windows anymore but their plugins are CPU friendly. I have some of theirs for windows.

I believe as there will be more CLAP plugins for the future, there should be more things available on Linux.

CLAP related tools and information can be found here

Is it so even when you play heavy metal or anything aggressive?

Someone on the internet said like when you play drums, you are cool or attractive until you start to play double bass...

I created a new project and load the vst instrument which is this one https://ronanfed.rf.gd/RF-Drums.html

and then loaded the patter file that I saved from the original project.

and then I could instantly get the bug. So, for whatever reasons it got buggy and the patter file also contains the information of the bug  which can be investigated?
