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.

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.

Oh thank god. This is a good update.

I was hoping that freezing all of the Kontakt synths would fix the constant crashing, but alas, it still happens. Even after updating flash and windows. I decided to check the minidump folder, and whatddya know, I found something useful just from the crashes that happened today alone. I am getting disturbingly used to these crashes, which should not be the case. I also include the project folder with some bounced audio to give you a picture of what I am working on : https://mega.nz/#F!vZ0XAQ6Y!Nchpx-vvGrOcNXctv_-0_g Another development was when I opened the project the first time since a restart. (Which I needed to do often since it ends up hijacking my ASIO drivers and refuses to release it when it crashes) it crashes on load with this message : This is interesting, because reopening Cakewalk and loading this project again created no issues.

I already got it from a previous deal, and after using it in a couple of tracks, I'd highly recommend it.

It seems that when a project reaches a certain size with several synths, initiating V-Vocal on an audio clip will crash the project reliably. Does anyone have a similar issue, and are there ways to mitigate it?

Looks like I already have a more updated version of this under the VC 2017 runtime.

This looks interesting, definitely trying it out!

It could be Kontakt, since it was happening enough for me. It also could be that i am running Window 7 still

Reviving this topic because I am encountering the same issue, this time with an arrangement project I started. It seems to be caused by mfc140u.dll and ucrtbase.dll. Here are the event viewer logs I found. (No minidumps are found, so I am attaching my project) In the attached project, I have 2 synths loaded, Kontakt 6 full with Shreddage 3 Abyss and GGD Invasion.
