Mixbus seems to have a lot of hype for it, but considering that it's crap for MIDI editing, i feel that it's better off working with pre-recorded tracks.

Oh wow, this is quite an amazing deal.

This is an instant sale from me, holy shit, that is a mind-blowing deal.

Yeah I am passing on this, since the iRig Keys aren't included in the qualifying products list.

Yeah, it is the synthy wah-wah like sound.

So trhere was this song that I mastered back in 2012 when I was just starting out to produce songs. At the time, I had Sonar X1 Studio and did not have the luxury of ProChannel plugins. In any case, there was this Dimension Pro patch that I remembered using that was layered on top of the Pianos and it had a pretty nice effect. Unfortunately, due to having no audio interface at the time, I was forced to use onboard audio and rendered everything out before disconnecting and removing the synths to save on RAM and CPU. (I didn't know what freezing synths did at the time) So I ended up losing all of the synth and patch data that I used for that particular song. You can hear it at play whenever the Piano was playing, but for those who want quick examples, it comes in most clearly at the beginning, 1:58 and 3:09. I have spent countless hours looking for it, so any help would be nice.

I feel bad that I missed out on Z3ta+2 or Rapture Pro, and I wish that one day it will be available again.

This is why you do a sound test before doing the actual recording. Record cold, and then warm it up using effects and/or gain knobs.

Multi-stage light compression is always good praxis anyways

I saw the email, it was an instabuy for me.

The disconnect between how some Youtubers reacted like this is the best thing ever, and your feeling of being underwhelmed.

I think the reason for this disconnect is because essentially Instachord is a crutch for sequencing and composition. Granted it is a very fine crutch that allows you to create chord progressions you otherwise wouldn't consider, or arrange them in yet undiscovered way due to your own limited understanding of certain music genres, what it does is little more than plop notes into the MIDI track which the synth then reads. The better you are at sequencing, composing and arranging, the less this plugin can do for you.

...holy...this is quite insane! I am seriously considering picking it up. I would have if I wasn't saving up for a keyboard.

Wait, only $3.99? That doesn't sound right for a pre-order.

Are you able to reproduce the errors? If so, details the steps to reproduce them. Sending your project file and the minidumps as detailed here will also help.

Hhhhh this is amazing! Thank you!

Which SFZ libraries have a GUI? It would be interesting to see them.

Same. Grind Machine II is such a godsend, as is Head Crusher

The Metal GTX instrument has a pretty steep learning curve and you have to spend some time programming the keyswitch sequences, but it is worth it, so very worth it!

There's also Unreal Instruments : https://unreal-instruments.wixsite.com/unreal-instruments Has 8 sampled instruments that are meant to be used with Plogue's Sforzando

My general advise for reverb is KISS. Unless you have a specific use case to ride the reverb effect hard and/or use side-chain compression, just slap it as an effect at the end of the chain, and keep it at around -6dB or less. And if a synth has a wet sound, don't even bother, you can easily oversoak the sound that way.

Use the code seventy to get 70% OFF ALL PLUG-INS! This offer will only be valid for 24 Hours! Don't Miss Out! [I want plugins!]

I like this synth, I should play around with it more.

Having a feature like this would be nice.

Load a synth, set up audio and MIDI tracks, put it all in a track folder, setting a unified colour scheme would help. Then right-click the track folder and save as track template. If you have keyswitches, also include separate MIDI tracks pointing to the same channels they pertain to.
