Has anyone watched these - wondering if they are worth investing some time in?

Well said!

As others have said there are lots of excellent video tutorials available on YouTube - the links already posted to Creative Sauce's (Mike Enjo) and John Vere's series are a great place to start. Watch these - and watch them again 🙂 - and you'll be well on your way. You'll always find friendly advice here and if you are on Facebook you might want to join this group (full disclosure I am a mod there!) for more friendly CbB related discourse! https://www.facebook.com/groups/4529701167094391

Happy birthday - even if it isn't by now! 🙂

Glad I missed the excitement! Edit - just seen them now! What a PIA!

Thanks - I was just this very moment wondering whether we were going to get one this month!

Welcome back @cclarry!

Have a great time!

Apologies I missed that! I got too excited thinking I may be able to help rather than asking for it! 🙂

Very sad news indeed. A brave woman entering the all male jungle of music journalism and DJing of less enlightened times. She was still going strong discovering new music until a few months ago. RIP

A very long shot but do you have the AIR VST's on a disc different from your system disc. I ran into problems and contacted support a few years ago and the told me to move the VSTs to my C drive and they worked fine after that - including installing on a new PC. It looks like your problem is different but thought I should mention this!

There's a good series of tutorials on using Soundpaint on their YouTube channel.

I just got the activation message too - logged in to Bandlab website and also into Bandlab Assistant for good measure. Closed CbB and reopened - message gone. No big deal 🙂

Sounds like a flu medicine!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

@PavlovsCat thanks so much Peter - very kind of you! Native have sent links to some free Sonuscore orchestral instruments - wondering if they are worth installing. I think they may be getting on a bit now. I have Miroslav Philharmonik (also very old!), Garritan PO, BBC SO Core and now, of course, the Orchestral Tools instruments in the Kontakt Factory library so not sure I need those as well though the free Kontakt library GAS is going to be in full flow over the next few days!

Now all I have to do is choose the two free Play libraries - had a listen the other day and none of them grabbed me. I already have Hybrid Keys.

Thanks @BTP That cinched it for me! £57 for Kontakt and a few Massive presets I may never use! @PavlovsCat thanks for persuading me 🙂 Downloading now!

These say they are for Massive X - can they be used with original Massive?

I've just gone for the Salu instrument Evolving - demo sounded nice and seems a decent amount of content for 22 euro!

Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for all the help this year!

Hey guys none of this matters - all that matters is that I got there before Larry 😉

Thanks Peter - I had a quick listen through to the Kontakt libraries and although there is some good stuff in there I wasn't overwhelmed - especially as I have IK TotalStudio 2 Max and several other libraries & synths. However, as you suggest, the main temptation is the free libraries. I'm a tight git money wise but I'll mull it over during the holiday and will probably bite - after all my New Years Resolution is likely to be to spend more time making music and less on Facebook and forums 😉 Oh and drink less beer which would pay for Kontakt - that's how I justified buying TS2 Max 🙂 - but only after drinking less beer!
