Bapu

"I recently bought a fretless bass, and decided to record "Bright Size Life" to demo it. Bass and guitar parts performed & recorded live in a very old version of Cakewalk Sonar, while capturing the video on probably the cheapest device imaginable. Drums performed later in multiple passes on a keyboard controller. Enjoy the grumpy concentration face, which is kind of my go-to."

I like the tones. Not a bad jam either.

Nice song, nice mix, stellar vocal.

Made me smile treesha.

The AAMS version is a little less 'cloudy' to me. I like it more than the first version.

Nice job antler.

Nice song Douglas.

Backing harmonies were very good.

Classic rock groove and message.

A+ from me on the mix.

I enjoyed all three parts of Get Back. It brought back so many memories of bands I was in. Ringo being bored while the lads worked out arrangements. Been there and seen that in my band. The buffonery with lyrics and such. Been there and done that too.

For me the biggest payoff was watching the song Get Back come into existence from Macca just strumming on the bass and mumbling some lyric ideas. And then later he and John working out lyrics by just spit balling ideas about Arizona and California/grass.

It's also really weird, as I could swear, the sound on the export sounds totally different than Cubase. It's as if the DAW has a different favor to the exported 24/48 wave file.

Shiny new toys always seem different until they're not.

still have the gear, or their VST equivalent.

Actually I have 2 P-Basses and an Alem..... never mind

But, yes I do have an Acoustic 360 VST  🙂 

My BF objective is to (try and) curb my purchases in 2022 to almost $0.00.

Except for ToonTrack products where I typically buy kits on release (sometimes I get to use prepaid MIDI serials for EZD, EZK,  and I still have 2 EZM serials as well. I even have one prepaid EZKeys expansion serial. As of today I own the full ToonTrack line.

I might buy the odd sample library if it's really unique.

Watching this band coming undone.

Not to me, because the final result of these sessions was an album called Let It Be that was actually released *after* Abbey Road (which had not been recorded yet).

What the film reveals to me is how the inner workings of the collaborative writing process can be fragile and awe inspiring at the same time.

Bands can be tough even in the best of times.

Paul was obviously a 'better' songwriter but I've always liked John's songs more.

George came into his own after The Beatles and Ringo is simply kind hearted Peace & Love Ringo.

Bapu if i buy another plugin without using a vaucher , do i get a vaucher or nothing until i use the one i already have ?

I really don't know, but I suspect you may get another one. But TBH I've never done that. But as I said I had one thank you and two promo vouchers at one time (but only once in the last 14 years).

Hey Guyz , just a small question for uad head .

I just grabbed K stereo from UAd , received a 25 $ thk you coupon , expiration date 25 dec ... i want to get me the precision limiter and dbx 160 , the dbx 160 is 99 $ now , doy you guyz remember if in christmas sales it goes 79 $ ? 

Also if i buy another thing can i get another vaucher or no vaucher until i use the previous one ? can we cumulate ?

 

You can stack vouchers. I've done as many as three before. Pretty hard to come by that many at a time though.

I'd tend to expect March for the next one they actually call "Mega Sale" that is the one they do a couple times a year it seems where they put just about everything on sale at the same time.  The price is usualy done in tiers, $20, 30 , 40, 80, 100 depending on the product.  The newest stuff like the Amek console won't be that low (or at least unlikley, IMO).  

Chance we will see something for Christmas/New Years time frame, but those are more likley to be like this where you can get one nice deal at a time usually sale item plus a voucher for everyone.  

When using the giant voucher, most likely the Mega Sales are the best, but also be watchful if they do sales that don't require a voucher and allow dynamic discounts.  When you purchase a bunch of stuff in one transaction depending on the situation that can have a compound discount effect that could be just as good of a deal. 

My current target candidates are:

EQ 200 and Warble not allowed in the current "any plugin $29.99"

After these 5 I'm pretty well tapped out on wanting much from PA until something new comes along and of course on sale for $30, $40 or $50.

Year round sale prices are the new retail.

Back to the OP... these are not your fathers doorbuster BF sales.

Mine too, but I think she was referring to me.

The Sad part is...the vast majority are not very good sales!

Agreed.

When will the next MEGA sale be? And what are the usual prices then? 

I've got a $249 voucher burning a hole in my pocket.
