Welcome to our bi-weekly update! We're committed to keeping you in the loop about our progress, much of which is shaped by community suggestions. This week, we're excited to share some key updates on Sonar. Color Customization A simple yet effective approach to color theming is well underway. We know it’s important to personalize your workspace, not just for aesthetics, but for creating a comfortable environment that reduces eye strain and helps you stay in the creative space longer. We're designing a system that is both powerful and easy to use. We're closing in on the first edition and expect to release it to the beta team shortly. Plugin Updates We're continuing to enhance our suite of plugins based on user feedback. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in the works: Long awaited updates for the LP EQ and LP Multiband are almost here. Retooled for modern systems, these plugins provide exceptional sonic transparency for surgical, artifact-free adjustments. The Adaptive Limiter is also getting an overhaul and will be deployed alongside the LPs. This power trio will bring a powerful, mastering-grade toolkit to your mixes, available later in Q4. Soon, you'll see spectrum analyzer overlays integrated into some of our Core effects. This will provide immediate, precise visual feedback right where you need it, making it faster to identify frequency issues and make informed EQ decisions. Early Access Returns! We are reintroducing the Early Access program, which will be available to Next and Sonar users. This will help us gather more pre-release feedback before final deployment. It also reinforces our commitment to transparency and building the future of Sonar together with you. On the Horizon We’re cooking up some other new features that we can’t wait to put in your hands: Soon you'll be able to probe various tap points with integrated signal analysis, helping you visualize your audio's journey in real-time and troubleshoot routing issues with ease and precision. Global app search is in the works, designed to get you to your tools faster than ever. Get ready to turbocharge your workflow! We’ll be back in two weeks with another update. Thank you for your continued support and feedback! Best regards, The Cakewalk Team

Canva just released Affinity product suite completely free: https://www.affinity.studio/ Has a paid sub for AI related features. Needs a Canva account. Haven't found a good breakdown on what else might be new compared to V2. If you had bought V2, you can still access those purchases / downloads. I'm positively surprised it didn't go full subscription model. I still don't know how I really feel considering distrust against Canva in the long run and if "free" is a ruse for something else. I hope Adobe is at least slightly soiling themselves though. Edit: They added a video:

I've been meaning to record a video of Pop's Dilemma by James Booker for some time. I love New Orleans piano, and this is one of my favorites. But, it's also a beast! I did my best to try and do it justice, so I hope you enjoy! jeff

I'm not sure if anyone here mentioned the UFX Reverb sale for $5 from Plugin Boutique. I just wanted to mention it because it now comes with the IK Mixbox(FULL VERSION!) for free. But only until Nov 21st. I'd actually been looking for a good Leslie plugin as well as a Univibe plug-in. The Mixbox has em both and they sound amazing. Plus it has 70 other 500 series style effects. I had never even heard of the Mixbox but I'm blown away by it. I can't believe I just got it for free. And btw, the UFX Reverb sounds fantastic. But if u don't need it, there's other plugins for sale cheap that come with the free Mixbox. But rem, it's only there for a couple more days. Cheers! https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/14101-UFX-REVERB-Version-2?currency=USD&force_country=US&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20844579592&gclid=CjwKCAiAz_DIBhBJEiwAVH2XwP-_Xjc54oAUJrxLUaGaItBqeFISNTvg6gLj8HrHlyYnHOcD1umT1BoCfRAQAvD_BwE

wow. the mixbox also includes all the sunset sound packs Sunset Sound Reverb Collection Sunset Chamber Sunset ISO Booth Sunset Live Room Sunset Plates Sunset Spring Good one.

^^^^ This is definitely worth repeating. I got the Complete Bundle over 8 years ago now and the things that keep getting thrown in just add to the value of that decision. Over time, unless something is truly unique I don't even read about it anymore... Melda covers a lot more bases than other vendors in most cases. Even as a vendor, Melda has always stood out with the focus of getting more users, not allowing folks to duplicate purchase things, and rewarding loyal customers by throwing more free stuff at them. This is a far cry from those that milk their user base for everything they can and charging them for upgrades every year.... never paying for an update on something you own has immense value unto itself.

The 3.2 Update is now available from https://scalermusic.com/my-products/ or https://www.pluginboutique.com/myaccount It's a pretty big update so the updates are split into two images below! Click on the first image then use right cursor to see the second.

My next attempt at using free AI video generators to make a video for my song. It features some of my neighbors, all but one of which I have had around here (you can guess which one I haven't encountered) in a hopefully entertaining take on Halloween in the high desert. I used Addictive Drums 2, SI bass, some percussion from AAS presets, Kontakt Hybrid Keys, UJAM Sparkle guitar, and used lots of melodyne and various spacious fx. It was interesting just as I was making the many short free video clips, new places to get free ones kept popping up so there is quite a bit of inconsistency in the quality of the free images and videos. They seemed to improve so then I would have to redo an older one at the new site. I could have gone on longer doing that but felt done enough. There seemed to be fewer hellucinations (Halloween pun) this time around which is interesting. Again some made me laugh when I saw what AI created from my prompt or image, so I enjoyed the process. I may replace a few clips in the future but for now wanted to post this and move on to the next thing. Thanks for listening and any feedback, And Happy Halloween! Treesha

Intro: Melda: Meet Rewind: New Instrument for just €9 or Free for MSoundFactory(LE) Users Backwards is the new forward Rewind is a unique MSoundFactory instrument dedicated to the art of reverse sound. At its heart, a granular engine and a reverse tape loop work together to transform 128 included samples into something entirely new. Infused with a touch of Lo-Fi grit, Rewind can create a vast spectrum of sounds, from beautifully poetic chimes and nostalgic pads to mysterious, ominous textures perfect for scoring suspense. "If you already have MSoundFactory or MSoundFactoryLE, Rewind is completely free to download. You just need to run MPluginManager and run it. However you can buy it separately, and use with the free version of MSoundFactory - MSoundFactory Player." https://www.meldaproduction.com/Rewind

Quick note embedded in the bottom of the KVR voting email from yesterday: "We'd also like you to be the first to know that, barring any problems in testing, we're releasing Scaler 3.2 on Wednesday November 12th. It's a major upgrade with lots of new features, functions and improvements that takes Scaler 3 to another level - we can't wait to share!"

Azure service health is good, all BandLabs services have been operational for 12+ hours. Update 4:55 PM ET: Azure services affecting BandLab functionality appear to have been restored in East US. Sign-in and other API services are operational. Hopefully clients in Europe, Asias and other territories will be seeing the same shortly, if not already. Update 3:25 PM ET: Azure service restoration in progress. Some services are restored, but auth requests may still be failing depending on where you are. Microsoft Azure services are experiencing a critical outage, affecting cloud service companies around the world, which unfortunately includes BandLab and sign-in authorization. You can monitor Azure service status here. I'll update this post when we see services are restored. Hopefully not too much longer!

While it doesn't have the full MTurboReverb (which is insane) inside, it does have more - and better - options than the average Piano VST available within the plugin itself. Combined with the 7 pic "pair" options lots of room for creating a sense of space. Plus there is additional control under the Resonances:

The free version will be released soon. They delayed the release so those who preordered could download the software on release day without the servers being overloaded by those downloading the free version.

https://www.proaudio.tech/news/broadcast/new-steinberg-asio-open-source-license-for-obs-partnership I think this means that when Audacity 4.0 ships, it can legally include ASIO support. That's pretty huge.

I jumped on this deal... be aware though, that the current AWS outage is causing issues with Pulse (their download manager) registering the serial number. It'll no doubt be sorted in a few hours.
