That's a great tip David!

Thanks

I hadn't noticed those in Bandlab Assistant so thanks scook!

Ah thanks I'll check those out then. Much appreciated

I keep getting emails from NI suggesting free ensembles to download - would they work in the free version of Reaktor 6 or only in the paid version?

Thanks

You can never have too many Finns 🙂

Cakewalk software itself there are some excellent tutorials in the 'Tutorials' part of this forum and also see the link to the pdf guide.

People here are really friendly and helpful so never be afraid of asking what might be a stupid question - I certainly have 🙂

Finnish contributors -  I was Helsinki recently - you have a beautiful country and capital - I just wish the UK had a society more like yours - minus the beer prices!

York, England 🙂

I plumped for Loom 2 - two apparently quality synths for less than £12. Can't go wrong - though I'm glad I've got a BBC Prom to listen to whilst I download the 11Gb!

I've always had very quick replies - usually less than 24 hours

Just reading through all this - as a very basic user I don't understand most of it but what has really made an impact is the responsiveness of the development team to people's comments and issues. Customer service at its best I reckon. I'll probably wait until the issues mentioned are ironed out in the next release / hotfix as I don't even know what the functions referred to are. I'm just happy to be know that the team are on it! 🙂  

About 900mb in mine - think I must have had a clear out previously when I spotted it when I was down to my last few Gb on my previous smaller SDD. I've moved it across to my data drive temporarily to ensure that I can get it back if any glitches occur

Must check mine when I'm on the PC - as others have said I always uncheck the option to install AAX but sounds like there may be some in there

The Labs stuff is all good. Looking forward to getting this one 🙂

This is a great thread.  Although not quite free I thought I'd mention the enormous collection of decent instruments and effects that come with Computer Music each month. Buying one copy for around £6 will give you lots of quality stuff to play with including cut down but still huge versions of Uhe Bazille, Thorn, XILS 3 etc

yes that was my thought! I need to have a look at this as soon as I have the chance

Thanks - might be a bit tricky looking at how the case is sealed

Thanks everyone. Some helpful suggestions there!

Hi all

I have a Roland A800 controller which has the rather irritating spring loaded modulation lever rather than mod wheel. As soon as I use this (as this afternoon with Garritan Personal Orchestra) it reduces the volume of the VST at the 'at rest' position and I can only get a reasonable amount of volume if I push it and hold away from the at rest location. As I mention it is spring loaded so if I leave go of it it returns to the base position. If I don't touch it volume is fine but I thus cannot use it for orchestral swells etc. Could anyone give me some advice on this please as it is really frustrating - I've been putting up with it for years as I don't perform live but it is annoying!

I tried moving the modwheel controller in the Garritan GUI to a higher position but it just reverts to a low volume as soon as I touch the lever again

Thanks in advance

You did indeed. I should have read it properly. Been off the PC due to dodgy shoulder so a new game probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway! 🙂

Ah damn I'm too late anyway! It's still 25 April here!

Is this a free standing game (with single player option) or do you have to have an earlier version of AC?

Brilliant! Thanks!

I noticed that my (non music production) laptop didn't seem to have the 100 disc access problems it has had for years and had slowed it down to a crawl after the latest update. Only booted it once so hoping it wasn't just a temporary thing!

Haven't noticed much difference on my SSD system drive PC though - but that was quick anyway 🙂

Thanks again - that resolved both problems 🙂
