That is a great price! I paid $69 for it in 2019, and I thought it was a great deal back then.

Got my 4th shot (2nd booster) on Friday and I had a tender/sore arm in the shot area for two days. The Lovely Lady had a mild upset stomach and wore arm (just like the three other times). I've not knowingly been around anyone with it. My circle of physically seen friend is limited to about 20 people (all fully vaxxed). I can't attest to their exposures but most are either retired or work from home. I go to a sit down restaurant once a week (location varies) with most of these 20 friends. We, atm, won't go to indoor theaters or large "concert like" settings regardless of venue. Lastly, I think I had an early case of it in Nov 2019. Very flu like and coughing for about 10 weeks. That was back when our company had a physical space.

If I'm not mistaken, there has not been a 3 month release gap since the whole Early Access thing started in 2019. (The current release is 2022.02 and there next possible EA is 2022.06) But I'm willing to wait another 6-12 months if that means they can implement a "De-Cheese" button for my melodies! 😊

I just found a 2019 post from @msmcleod loading an acoustic guitar body IR into TH3. He loaded 2 IR's in and still had to crank up the TH3 output. I'll give that a try also. ms

"The Kid's Are Alright" is a much better doc on The Who imho. And one of their best performance's can be found in the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus. https://www.npr.org/2019/07/25/745287835/resurrected-stones-film-finds-pivot-point-in-rock-history This was a pretty great take on the capriciousness of the industry in general...

Automation lanes and take lanes were in SONAR long before I ever tried them. I think it was in 2018 or 2019 that I finally used the take lanes. I had a bass pattern and I was testing melodic leads on top. That's when I decided that the comments box was useful. I think I had 18-20 of melodic lines with a bass pattern that was maybe 16 or 32 measures long. So I listened to them and took notes for later.

This. I've been going to NAMM Shows for 35 years, seen countless MIDI guitars, and it just seemed like a solution in search of a problem. I've read so many accounts of people saying that they had to develop new techniques and whatnot. It's always seemed that with all the time it would take me to work out all the glitches and get good at it, if I spent that time learning how to imitate guitar playing on my keyboard (a la Daft Punk on "Digital Love"), I'd get better results. Best application I've heard: Fripp and Belew on 80's Crimson. Coolest use: Josh Menashe of Triptides playing a plastic Casio DG-20 into an iPad that was running a Mellotron emulation. Since Triptides are a '60's retro band (complete with Farfisa and 12-string electric), it was mind-bending to see all those eras of technology represented. I sort of accidentally wound up with a MIDI guitar that I didn't know was a MIDI guitar until the morning I was going to sell it for $50 at a swap meet. https://www.engadget.com/2012-05-21-gtar-iphone-guitar-hands-on.html A friend's girlfriend won it in a raffle and gave it to me, and since I didn't have the right iPhone, I tossed it in the closet. By the time I dug it out, the company was gone and the iPhone app with it. So I forgot about it until the next time I put on one of my Musicians and DIY Electronics swap meets in Oakland. The morning of, I plugged it into a computer via the USB port just to check it. The computer happened to have Cakewalk running, and Cakewalk cheerfully asked me if I wanted to add it as a MIDI device. Uh....yeah? I guess? Turns out that before the company went away, they updated the firmware in the thing to make it a polyphonic MIDI controller, and mine was from that era. So far I've kept it around as an oddity, but it's kind of useless as a MIDI controller. It does "note on" okay, but is hopeless for "note off." To be usable, one would need to rig some kind of "all notes off" panic button. On the other hand (or strap) I love my Rock Band keytar. After watching Edgar Winter and Gary Wright tear it up on Midnight Special as a kid, I wanted to strap on a keyboard and prance around the stage. Hold the platforms:

I was always tempted to get these, so I just got the bundle. FYI to all, the installers are all from 2019.

It was actually FREE. I forget the details about how/when I picked it up, but I never bought it and registered it on: 21-11-2019 according to my Products page. Although, if I ever want to actually USE it, I'll have to pay $10 to download it because I didn't know that stupid policy existed back then... 😠

I have Garritan and it was a nice library especially with Finale notation but updates are not in the picture. They haven't any news on their site since 2019!

Actually looks like he joined in 2019. Just glad I didn’t say anything dumb like is my habit sometimes. Specially when someone repost what you had said and now it’s in fixable

I counted 64 plugins in my account (from 2019). About half of them I got for free (intro, PreSonus, free after the $20 vouchers). The rest were all $10 or $15, with an occasional $25, mostly once a month to pick up a sale item. I don't think I'd spend as much if the minimum was $50.

I am writing to update this thread. The copyright claim against this video has disappeared. It was there a few days ago, but I checked a few minutes ago and it's gone. I posted the video on March 30 and the copyright claim appeared about the same day. I originally objected to the copyright claim about March 31 and they had 30 days to respond. Maybe they never responded and the claim expired. I would like to find out if they reviewed the claim and realized it was not valid or if they just don't attempt to answer objections in a case like this. I may write the publishers and ask, or I may "let sleeping dogs lie". On a related note, I posted a link to this video on Jeff Lynne's Facebook page and I noted the copyright claim by his publisher and I added that the lyrics and melodies are all different. I never got a response there, either, but one day Jeff Lynne, or somebody posting for him liked my post. I like to think he listened to my song, but who knows. I will add that he produced a new album in 2019 named "From Out Of Nowhere" and it is great. Top notch songs with his typical flawless production. I enjoy listening to it almost as much as my albums.

Lot of food for thought here. The question that hasn't been addressed directly is "what do you hope to get out of making music?" We all grew up in that (relatively brief in terms of musical and human history) when (a relatively tiny percentage of) being a popular musician (and by popular, I mean following the tastes of the day) could possibly lead to international fame and riches. The "gold rush" that Kenny so wisely draws a parallel with. It used to confound me no end that the music "players" magazines placed so much emphasis on the "make it big and play in big venues" goal, as if everyone who bought a Squier Strat was supposed to have that goal and if it didn't happen, that was "failure." Someone finally came out with a magazine, I don't know if it's still around, I picked up a copy at NAMM and subscribed, called Making Music, which was dedicated to the hobby of playing and singing "just" for fun, not professionally. They had famous cover artists, but they were mostly people who were famous in other fields, successful actors, successful businesspeople, whatever. In other words it was a magazine for 99.99% of the people who buy a Squier Strat. Yet my subscription was free and I never saw it in bookstores. I mention it because at the time it was such a breath of fresh air. Since the very suppliers of tools and services depend on selling those tools and services to survive, they have (or at least believe they do) more to gain by perpetuating the myth. There's an upward path that starts with taking music lessons and ends at "pop star" and anyone who puts their foot on that path and doesn't make it all the way to the end "didn't make it." We're all older, so we have had this experience, but back when I was in a music scene, which was underground rock in San Francisco from '85-'95, nobody ever said "I play in bands as a hobby" even though everyone was doing it as a hobby, with the exception of a few, most of whom eventually gave up. It just wasn't cool to say you were doing it for fun even though in reality, there was no other reason to be doing it. All of this is to get to my point: I think it's important to be aware and honest with ourselves about what we really want and expect from playing music. And if we're feeling frustrated and unfulfilled, it's a good time to reassess that. Why did you start playing? Why do you continue to play? What would you like to "get back" from it (if anything) and what level of expectation do you have that you can get that back? People who paint, do woodworking, ride bicycles, swim, play amateur team sports, own custom cars, sail, build electronics projects, stargaze, build model railroads, whatever, as hobbies don't seem to suffer as many illusions as people who do music, or at least that's my impression. Another of my hobbies is woodworking, or at least it is a sometime hobby, it comes and goes. I have some nice power tools including a Jet contractor saw in my basement. Would I say "it's really tough to make it in woodworkingbiz" or "I've been making things out of wood for 20 years and what do I have to show for it?" Heck no. I don't have the desire to become good enough at it to the point where I could hope to do it professionally, but when my vintage home needs some trim replaced, or I need shelves or whatever, it's fun and economical to be able to do it myself. Why isn't it as okay to have music be a hobby? Or am I even correct in the perception that it is less so? Fortunately, before I started doing it, I had it figured out that I was never going to become a "rock star," but I still had goals. When I was little, bla bla, Beatles on TV bla bla. I looked at those guys and immediately wanted to do that. Not because they had all these people looking at them, but because it looked fun and cool. I wanted to get up on a stage with an instrument and make music with it and look cool. That was it. So decades later, when my first hobby band played its first real gig, and I experienced that unique sensation (I call it standing in the middle of a tornado while people pat you on the back). The big checkmark got crossed off and anything subsequent was gravy. And for the following 40 years, I've tried to keep my musical goals simple and realistic. I've gone without barely touching an instrument for years, I've switched primary instruments, learned how to write songs, etc. etc. But it's always been about seeing something and wanting to be able to do it. I did some deep diving at one point to figure out what it was about, to provide momentum for continuing, and came to the conclusion that I feel things that I can't express in other ways, and I want to express them, and connect with as many people who care to listen. Which is what listening to music is for me. Someone's expressing an emotion in their music and I listen and it makes me happy, and/or helps me know that I'm not alone in sadness or confusion or anger and/or provides me with a soundtrack for my life and inspires me to jump up and down and shake my butt. That's a beautiful process and I want to be on both ends of it. And it can be one person I'm playing to, or 100, or 1000 the more the merrier. If whatever styles I happen to be interested are no longer "in fashion," that doesn't matter any more, because there are so many outlets for people to find niche music. Being an old fart doesn't matter like it used to. I've always liked shiny toys, so owning up a collection of tools for making music has always been a big part of the fun, and I've worked at MI companies and even had my own for a while. I love my many guitars and basses and microphones and my Slingerland drum kit. They're shiny and make my heart smile. Also my Glitchmachines and Plugin Alliance and Meldaproduction and Cakewalk and Mixcraft and Ableton software and my Focusrite interface and all that. Starting with The Beatles again, I've always been interested in sound recording technology (Yellow Submarine soundtrack was the first rock record I owned, with all the crazy sounds on "Bulldog," and "Northern Song"), so now I have a home studio rig where I can create whatever sound I can manage to pick up the skills to create. For someone with my personal goals in making music, right now is the best time to be doing it in history! Geniuses keep shoveling incredible music making software onto my computer for cheap or even free! If I make something I like and want to make it available for others to listen to or purchase, I can do that without leaving my chair! I think the fact that anyone can put their music on Bandcamp is really great, so I made a song that I thought was worthy of that (and not incidentally, learned all the steps that it takes to set up the account, make a halfway decent looking cover page, etc). Check that one off. I'd like to be played on one or more of the streaming stations that plays the kind of music I like, so I went to my favorite station's site and learned how to submit songs. Check (they haven't played it yet, AFAIK). I made a video for the song because I think videos are fun. And so, thanks to the times we live in, my song is up on YouTube just like all the musicians whose work I love. Check. So, for anyone who is making music, or wants to, I would suggest that it's important at any point in the journey to know what you really want from it and as much as possible be realistic about whether those goals are achievable given the amount of drive and effort and talent you have to put toward them. And adjust them if necessary. If your goal is "earn my living with music," maybe that's going to have to include playing in cover bands and teaching. If your goal is "play for thousands of people," learn all the personal skills you can to make connections. Become emotionally resilient enough to weather inevitable setbacks. Some people did actually get some gold out of the hills, but they had to get survival skills fast. Whatever. If there were shame in not becoming a rock star, then that shame goes all the way back to Adam and Eve. And news: getting paid to do something you already love is a privilege only a tiny percentage of people ever get to experience, even once. The vast majority work at jobs they at best tolerate, but often just endure. "Deserve's" got nothin' to do with it!

I picked up VIP 3.1 as part of an AIR/AKAI bundle in 2020. So, I just went looking for map file repositories. Didn't find any, but found some VIP tutorial articles here. [UPDATE (2022-11-07)]: It looks like inmusicbrands changed their website and the link no longer works.] Update wrt user maps: I looked at some of the WayBackMachine Site Grabs for the community and found two captures which had user supplied download links for contributed maps. I think as a rule the WBM doesn't archive those (e.g., dropbox, pcloud, etc. and even files on manufacturer sites). None for the 3 or 4 links I tried went anywhere. (I tested some site grabs from 2015 and 2019/2020.)

It's possible. Release history: V Collection 6 released on Dec 2017 V Collection 7 released on April 2019 (16 months from previous release) V Collection 8 released on Dec 2020 (20 months from previous release) V Collection 9 release on April 2022 would be 16 months from previous release

Usually they do 30% off and I’ve seen even 40%. For NKS sales I’ve seen them go to 50% off but not lower. These are also very rare in my experience. I think last time there were 50% off was in 2019.

Guitar on left hand, bass on right, drums with feet, and vocals, all performed together in real-time. I'm a touring musician, and I spend a lot of time on the road, playing everywhere I can.

I too mostly work in the Track View. If there is a way to suppress the space used by the collapsed Navigation, Video Thumbnail, Arranger and Tempo tracks, I don't know it. Here as image of 2019.07, essentially the same as the SONAR X series. This version contains the Navigation and Video Thumbnail tracks only. and an image of 2020.11 showing the addition of the Arranger Track and an image of 2021.12 showing the addition of the Tempo Track
