  1. Interesting to that Christian from Spitfire is behind Pianobook. I really like his videos. Are all the samples there Kontakt based? - I don't have full Kontakt so wouldn't be able to take advantage of them if so. Having said that I have just got Total Sampletank Max which has enough sounds for me to be getting on with

  2. To be serious - I was fairly cynical initially and was hoping still to go on our holiday to southern Italy in early April - then I saw the coffins in Bergamo (a city I have visited and love) and realised how dreadful this thing is. Anyone suggesting that people should ignore the lockdown whilst the death rates are still rising is irresponsible at best and evil at worst. Stay safe everyone - this is a good community we have here and I don't want to lose anyone from it ❤️

  3. There'll be an element of natural selection in this. Those of us who are able to and are sensible enough to stay locked down will live longer than those who choose to ignore lockdown.  My heart is with those essential workers who are having to risk all to keep up fed and safe. Those who choose to ignore lockdown will have many of those people's blood on their hands. Fortunately in the UK most people are being sensible and although we have an appalling Government at least we don't have Trump spouting his mindless and dangerous drivel! Surely now people will get rid of him when they have the chance?!

    Except that they are not exempt from charging VAT to customers in Europe (it was widely discussed and impacted dealers who have been required to charge VAT even if the dealer is US-based if the customer is in Europe, it's a law not just a "suggestion").  In fact, I'm 99.9% sure they're not supposed to sell to EU customers at all...

    Without wishing to get too political, and not a comment on the legality or otherwise of JRR selling to the UK - I should mention that, unlike some others here, I have absolutely no problem in paying taxes - except that we have a very right wing Government in the UK (well not as right wing as in the US of course!) and some of my taxes tend to go towards making rich people even richer! So given this option to avoid VAT I took it knowing it would give me a little more money to put towards the causes I support which are helping the most disadvantaged in society. 🙂

    JRR was actually cheaper if buying from Europe (no VAT). I was on the fence about getting this, but their 'new' price sorted out my dilemma :)

    Yep if I hadn't got it for the cheaper price I probably wouldn't have bothered at the IK price - even with Jam Points it would have been around £150 - £160 and I was mainly interested in ST3 Max & Miroslav (I already have Miroslav CE)

    It's definitely sweet that ST4 SE comes with it and loads all the sounds because its interface is WAY better than ST3!

    In terms of functionality / features does ST4 have significant benefits over ST3? I find its interface a bit more confusing but that's probably just because I am not used to it. Navigating to sounds seems easier with 4 but I think 3's interface is clearer - again may be just familiarity especially as I use Miroslav 2 more than ST

  7. Just opened Amplitude stand alone and have got a high pitched whine like feedback from my speakers - I recall this happening in a lite version of an earlier incarnation - anyone have any ideas - I am using ASIO4All with an onboard soundcard - I would only ever use it as an effect for a VSTi 

     

    Edit - if I turn the input right down it becomes silent

    That's with just about everything.  NI and Waves are worse.  There is always some clueless developer that things everyone installs plugins in Steinberg\Vst. 

    That drives me nuts! Such a pain navigating to my data drive every time!
