Last in-person GearFest at Sweetwater (prior to Covid), I was talking to Craig Anterton about this circuit. It was in some of the newer Les Paul guitars... the "Modern" version I believe (which had DIP switches) I really miss being about to meet/talk with folks like Craig, Roger Linn, etc. GearFest was similar to NAMM... but a lot closer. The All-Star concerts each night were also spectacular. You could watch the likes of Steve Vai, Jordan Rudess, Steve Stevens, Adrian Belew, Dweezil Zappa, Andy Timmons, etc.

I wish it were that easy. The problem is that they can all make there own decisions, but then they vary from staying with national standards. 😀 Our customers expect the same experience at NAMM or CES.

I've been working remotely since 2019. I had done that for a year before moving to the US in 2010-11. A lot of friends reached out when the pandemic hit because they had trouble adjusting to remote work. I couldn't imagine why they had so much difficulty - for me it's the best possible scenario, short of earning a living with music and books. I never have to leave the house except for groceries, once a week. I have my work laptop and display on a file cabinet on wheels, tucked by the side of my desk. Come the weekend, it takes me less than 40 seconds to clock out, close everything and roll that thing out of sight in another room for the next couple of days. Otherwise, it can always be tucked in a corner when I work on music on weekdays.

April 2019 was 15 anniversary sale with 40% off. we can expect something more for 20 anniv?😆

Yep. I would love a re-do for the 2019 freebies Modal Runs and Ostinato Noir.

If you have an older version (current version is 2023 v5.03) you can download latest update here: https://revalver.headrushfx.com/free/#download I bought mine in 2019 and was able to successfully upgrade. edit: guessing this is upgrade OP was referring to

They were indeed bought by EMZ Partners on 2019! https://mergr.com/emz-partners-acquires-arturia But of course, management is very different from Francisco Partners

Well.. previous versions were released around these dates, less than two years apart Vc7 25 April 2019 Vc8 13 December 2020 Vc9 03 March 2022 I would say that it is indeed around the corner, but just a guess

I only recently "discovered" that I had the Midnight plug-ins when someone I was talking to here behind the scenes suggested taking the time to compare the compressors already on your DAW in order to better understand their differences, which led me to them. I obviously must have installed them and added them to VST menus, but I have no recollection of ever doing that. All I can tell you is that I installed them in July 2015 along with Novation V-station and Bass Station and they originated from a file called Focusrite DVD, which now only has the unwanted Mac files in it. I can't fins specific installers. They were authorised using FNLF files, which I guess is some kind of offline challenge/response type thing that I also have no recollection of. I guess they must have come bundled with something, but I can't think what as I don't have any Focusrite/Novation gear. It appears that I do have a Focusrite account for some reason that also escapes me, but that wasn't opened until 2019, so nothing to do with this. I'm thinking maybe older accounts had to be updated for some reason, so it only appears to have been opened then. Anyway, not terribly helpful overall I admit, but maybe a few pointers in there that will shake something loose in the old noggin.

Yup. I think my main issue is with Blamsoft’s GUI and the fact they didn’t update since 2019.

There was a time not so long ago (2-3 years) when you could click on the number and it would allow you to directly type in a semitone value, but that got lost in some version since 2019 or so. I kinda miss it. However, if you use the square brackets on the keyboard [ & ], it will go +/- 12 semitones per keystroke. If you have a mouse wheel (I use the ring around my trackball), click in the box to highlight it and you could try to hold <Shift> and roll the wheel up & down. That's the way that I get semitones increments. Of course; a double click will reset it to 0.

That's quite a lot cheaper than their usual 25% off sales. I think in current years the biggest they have had is 40% off, which already dates back to 2019 April during their anniversary sale.

We've been hard at work this year putting the finishing touches on some of the plug-ins we've been working on. Fresh on the heels of the release of the Maselec MEA-2, we have two more little surprises for you today... First, after many years of development, we are thrilled to finally announce the QuantX Natural Resonance Reverb. https://relabdevelopment.com/quantx/ QuantX stands as the world's only dual-engine re-creation of a beloved 80’s hardware reverb, celebrated for its exceptionally realistic ambience and extended reverb times. This legendary resonance reverb, a long-adored staple in world-class studios, has been meticulously re-created using our next-generation machine learning and extensive research. Some of the stand-out features include: Unique Dual-Engine Design – Both the Reverb and Enhancement engines run in parallel for some great front-to-back layering. Expanded Bandwidth – We recalculated the behavior of the internal sample rate and analog filters, to give you a highly unique and resonant frequency curve for multiple bandwidth options. 8-Voice Hand-Tuned "ACE" Modulation – We've included not one but TWO 8-voice modulation engines running in series, woven deep into the algorithm for incredibly rich and lush tails. Enhancement Feedback Controls – Where the tail of the enhancement is hard-coded in the original hardware, we’ve opened that up so you can really fine-tune your reverb. And much more... We're confident that once you try QuantX, you’ll instantly feel the essence of this classic room simulator and hear what makes this uniquely natural and realistic reverb so compelling. And if that's not enough, here's our second surprise for you... A special loyalty discount. As a thank you for being a Relab customer, for a limited time, you can get QuantX for only $124 (reg. $199) and save $75 Plus you'll also get a FREE Pulsar "Smasher" plug-in ($49 value) VERY IMPORTANT: In order to take advantage of this exclusive loyalty offer, you MUST log in at checkout and use these special links Start a Free 7-day Trial Here Buy QuantX for only $124 Here Buy QuantX for 3 Easy Payments of $41.33 Here This reverb was a true passion project for us and was years in the making (some of you may remember seeing it for the first time at NAMM 2020) and we spent a lot of time getting it to sound just right. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Got it in 2019 at the same price.

Do you mean Digital Performer? My understanding is that is much more geared to orchestration. I went to NAMM one year and sat in on a demonstration on the latest features of Digital Performer (v11 IIRC). Can you guess what they used in the demonstration? It was *not* EDM, Trap, R&B, Metal, Rock or K-Pop. It was an orchestration.

And it now becomes Ripx DAW. And RipX DAW Pro, depending what flavour you own or huy.. Plus, its dll version works with CbB 2019.05 and above. If you're registered you should have received an update link in a mail. If not . Try and buy here : https://hitnmix.com/buy-ripx/ J

I just went there for a peek, wow it was Jan 16th, 2019 that the old forum became 'read only' - time flies!

I remember when Twelve Tone started the MIDI sequencer (Cakewalk) and would advertise in Modern Musician, Electronic Musician, Mix, and others, and with the introduction of audio editing and Windows 3.0 in '91, stepped up their presence in the trade rags and also at the major trade shows (NAMM & AES). There was still a bit of adverts and show presence, including the time under the Roland umbrella through to the beginning of the Gibson years as "Cakewalk Pro Audio", when Gibson put it on the back shelf to die as SONAR. From about '95 on, there was intense competition from ProTools, Sonic Solutions, and others for market share, and later when PT became native. Add to the mix the plethora of upstarts like Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, FL, Reaper, et al, and a dwindling desire to market the product, the trade rags (becoming online presence mostly) just forgot about it. Since Bandlab took the reins as a free product, what marketing budget existed outside of forums, word of mouth, and the net, especially when Apple/PT TDM/HD pretty much had the majority market share in the professional realm, and MOBO/CPU's weren't really up to the task of 'unlimited' multitrack sessions until roughly the turn of the century. As for proponents and reviewers, it was out of sight, out of mind pretty much after the Gibson years. And a new paid version of Sonar will have, hopefully, a modicum of marketing budget going forward to increase their market share and improve the product.

Haha.. I still get enough frustrations out of some of my plugins so I'm not completely left out there 🤣 I personally don't agree with Steinberg's choice either, but I guess they had to draw a line in the sand somewhere and people just weren't moving fast enough. If they supported it for another 10 years I'd guarantee some of the same developers that haven't already upgraded to VST3 even by now, would still want an extension.. To put that in perspective... VST3 was released in 2008... so developers can hardly say it's snuck up on them! Ableton Live was surprising.. they only started supporting it around 2019 from memory.. All that said, there are some VST2 plugins and instruments that I will definitely miss... yes, I do know I can load them in wrappers and hosts, but I do prefer native

I believe yes, the FAST plugins are older, this Pure one is in the same philosophy but uses a newer engine. Here is what they are saying for the difference between FAST Balancer and PureEQ (I guess that the same applies to the other plugins in the series): https://help.sonible.com/hc/en-us/articles/10308416060572-What-s-the-difference-between-the-plug-in-Balancer-and-pure-EQ- "The plug-in Balancer was developed in the course of a temporary joined project with Focusrite in late 2019 and is based on sonible's first generation AI technology. While both plug-ins, pure:EQ and Balancer, offer simple control over the spectral balance of a signal, pure:EQ is cut from the same cloth as smart:EQ 3 and is based on sonible's latest neural networks with support for real-time dynamic adaption and an extensive list of instrument and vocal profiles."

They released 5 in 2015 and 6 in 2019 and 7 just now, so if you bought 6 you probably have another 4 years and if you just bought 7 you have about 8 years.

No. VST2 (32 & 64) Last release was v3.0.0 14 October 2019 Debbie the Deal Downer here... I picked this up and never use it. The preset browser / patch browser is too painful - no way to preview anything other than loading it. So unless you know exactly what you're looking for you end up wasting a lot of time. I just don't have that kind of patience. If they rewrite the GUI, then a VST3 version would be nice otherwise I'll probably just delete it at some point.
