HookTheory's HookPad web app is worth looking into. It will sync to a YouTube version of a song and show you the chords. It's also a composition tool.

Lois responded - said they are considering the model I proposed - it's the same as Cantabile or Reaper - you get a year of updates - then software keeps working but you can't update until you renew the license. I don't mind it for software I use regularly and if the annual isn't a crazy high amount. Cantabile hits me up for $99 a year but the developer Brad is continually adding features and resolving bugs and the software is awesome for live performance using just VSTs with a midi controller. I think we all agree Reaper is a great value. I think they may well go that route.

I posted feedback - said I prefer perpetual license that can lapse but keep working at that update until you re-up. Cantabile and Reaper are examples.

I've only bought a limited selection of Unify libraries; Cloud City is one of them. Modern Cinema Back To The 80's is another good one.

Mr. Figg....for some reason that makes me think of "Mr. Anderson" ? Perhaps your Matrix sub program is stuck in a Deals loop.... My method for this forum is I check it once a day looking for anything free and worthwhile or specific upgrades or expansions at very low prices. I then mark all as read in the upper right so next time I can see what's new. When I see something new for a thread I already looked at I click the highest page number - if the thread is continuing on in an interesting way I back up to earlier pages in the thread. I'm only on for a minute if I don't add comments. The Deals forum has helped me build a very inexpensive and comprehensive plugin collection not only for myself but also a studio I work at. I think the commentary on the value of "soft synths" and mixing plugins here is some of the most useful I've seen. Thank you Larry and the rest of us who try to beat him to the punch ?

We have a situation where we've setup some band members to be able to overdub in a copy of the project at their location and then send the finished track back to the studio. They all have different plugins so we have them "print" a track with the effects and also send the original unprocessed track. We use bounce track to make the "print" track

I regularly use Reaper (when recording midi heavy project), Cakewalk (chose it for recently created studio) and Mixbus (mixdown). Since the studio isn't very midi oriented, I will probably go to Mixbus. Version 10 is running very well. It works better for mixing sound for videos which we've been doing a lot of.

We bought and Axe I/O for the studio I'm working with so had $45 in Jam Points - we used those to buy Total Studio Max 4 for $154. The studio is just a year old and hasn't participated in a Group Buy so this really helps for mixing and adding guitar parts.

Nice sounding, light weight grand piano! Thanks for the heads up.

I had seen this mod discussed but never followed up on it. Agree the stock RA100 soundstage is lacking. I didn't get rid of them so will try the mod. Thanks for links. EDIT - I need to buy a pair of flush cutters - what kind would be best for this mod?

It was too steep for me ? - that's why I found a pair on eBay. A studio I work with recently bought a pair of Yamaha HS8's for the same price. That control room is bigger and treated acoustically and the HS8's sound very good and don't fatigue us after hours of mixing but I think the MTM's would do just as well and perhaps provide more detail. I'm going to bring my MTM's over there at some point to compare.

I recently bought a pair of these (v1) on eBay- absolutely love them. I was using ARC for final mixing with an Alesis RA100 and Tannoy PBM 6.5s and saw the ARC studio module introduced recently. While researching the ARC Studio unit I figured out the MTM's have ARC so went that route instead.

Based on what I've seen that video would be 12 hours still skipping many parts. ? I think the name of the documentary should be "Installed!"

I'm now remembering the card was a Voyetra V-24sm.

Does it include the part where I met the Twelve Tone crew at a business expo in CT in the late 80's and ended up buying an MPU-401 bundled with Cakewalk v3? I ran it on a little orange screen lunchbox Compaq clone.

Really enjoyed watching James Farber explain the mic's used

Figured out why I was confused on this. I've bought two Axe I/O's. The first one at my studio didn't come with Tonex SE as it pre-dated the release of Tonex. The account of the second one I bought for the studio I'm working out has it.

I was having fun going through all the soundbanks and then had to update my video driver for another project and now the OsTirus crashes when I launch the GUI. Does anyone know a box I can uncheck (or other similar maneuver) in the nvidia control panel that might resolve this issue?

They should add Tonex SE to the Axe I/O 2 free product dropdown - we would have chosen it.

The SE version is very small but we picked it as a free choice for a new studio that bought the Axe I/O and was entitled to 2 free products. They are only interested in effects so we chose it and Mixbox, the only two offerings in the list that were effects. The drop down was only Syntronik SE, Modo Drums SE, SampleTank SE and the above.

SQ8ROM is a sampled version of SQ8L, a VST plugin based on the sound and synthesizer architecture of the Ensoniq SQ80. The Ensoniq SQ80 was a 1988 synthesizer based on a wavetable with an analog filter to generate its sound, something common in the 80s. The result is lo-fi and charming. SQ8ROM comes with 168 sounds, perfect for 80s music productions! SQ8ROM is a must-have if you produce synthwave, synthpop, vaporwave, and any other 80s-influenced genres. Available as a VST/VST3/AU plugin for Windows 8.1/10/11 and macOS El Capitan and up (natively compatible with M1 chips and all the latest versions of macOS).

8am EST CET to EST Converter - Convert Central Time to Eastern Time - World Time Buddy Already have it - never used it - I'll probably snag a copy for the studio I'm working with that doesn't have the full T-Racks

Interesting this thread popped up - I just happened to install Resolve recently to compare it to my Humble sourced Vegas Pro 19.

That is exactly what I was thinking and I had a nice buttoned down file sync scenario ready but this has a happy ending because I decided that once in a while the customer is always right and I like to think out of the box when possible. He's an excellent mixer that has a day job working in operations for "the worlds biggest band no one has heard of" ? I thought to myself that this technically isn't that complicated so therefore someone has built a solution. I looked around for several hours, found some opensource solutions like SonoBus that would involve opening firewall ports and other impossibilities when working with a remote person's network. Then I stumbled across Audiomovers plugin ListenTo. I'm allergic to subscriptions for client software but if it involves a network component I'll consider it if the price is reasonable. They charge $100 a year and it couldn't be simpler. You put the plugin in the Master bus, sign in, choose audio codec (we picked PCM 24) and a latency setting we left at default. We're using Jump Desk which is free to remote to the mixing PC. The "remote mixing engineer" fires up Cakewalk once remoted in and opens the ListenTo plugin and starts the stream which also copies a web URL that the remote user pastes into his local web browser. In that control you pick your local ASIO device and the level. One of the reasons I pursued this avenue is that I would have had to spend hours getting all the plugins installed on the remote user's PC. I compared a project I have a local copy of with the sound streaming from the remote - they sound identical. I'm sorry this sounds like a native ad, if you look around this forum you know I'm a bargain hunter who doesn't like paying for stuff like this but in this case, it solves an ongoing headache I would be the support person for. I'm happy about this turn of events.

I'm in IT and have worked with remote workers for 25 years going back to the first Citrix offerings. Audio isn't something we normally address, in fact when various remote software offerings began to support it, we found it an annoyance. I had a session yesterday where I thought I was going to help an audio engineer in another state copy over the Cakewalk project and audio files and then set him up the plugins we use. I estimated a couple hours of work and he would be mixing away. Instead I got pushback. They wanted to stream the audio from our mixing desktop back to their system and mix "remotely". I've been down this road during lockdowns. I helped several people use OBS, Voicemeeter and Cantabile to be able to give keyboard lessons remotely using Zoom. That was a long finicky process of trial and error that ultimately was successful for online keyboard lessons. Does anyone know a simpler way to route the Cakewalk ASIO audio over the internet to a remote computer? I tried installing just VB Cable which worked if we switched to MME but it sounded very distorted. Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
