The MDrummer Electronic Genres was new (to me) and I just happened to check on More Details->Installation Notes and was surprised that it says it also plays on the SoundFactory Player (or MDrummer). I just drilled into ALL of the MDrummer packs and they ALL say they play in the SoundFactory Player, so there is roughly 22GB of nice drum samples available now to anyone. I would test that before jumping into the Studio Pack downloads (20GB) with the smallest one first (i.e., the MDrummer Electronic Genres (500MB) to see if that is accurate. The Studio Pack for 2018 was incredibly impressive (and big, 14GB IIRC), but seems is available to anyone now. If so, great "deal." If someone tries it, please let others know if it works or not.

I need to delve into MSoundFactory again... I didn't realize you could set up your own instuments similar to Kontakt until I saw a comment on that fly by. After seeing the thread where the guy made a choir of his family, I want to see how "choir capable" MSoundFactory is in this regard.

I've been working out what works in the free player .... and I think you'll basically lose access to the drummer stuff.  This seems to be only accessible via EDIT mode (not easy mode) and I think you lose access to this when your "demo" times out and MSoundFactory downgrades to the free version...

that new Piano will continue to work however

(I think!)

FWIW the sonivox one is very buggy - best avoid

Does that work in the free player ( oh no it’s the kontakt player problem all over again ?)

I think Izotope got wind my rant.  I went to check my account and I know have

ZERO

Loyalty Offers...and I own just about everything!

As you probably know - their upgrade offers are pretty useless - I’m the same and I have everthing, including exponential stuff  but they still offer weird, overpriced upgrades to stuff I already have 

PS stutter edit 2 has a resizable gui at last - all Plugs should have that IMO 

PPS - dunno what your rant was (none of my business !) but I’ve always found them pretty good if you email their sales direct - they can normally give you a good deal

Years owned Stutter Edit: 5 years, 4 months,
Number of times I've used Stutter Edit in an actual musical piece: 0

If I used that as a yardstick .......?

£68 at pluginboutique about $83 at xe.com conversion - you get about £5 in rewards 

$71 at audiodeluxe  - with code summer2020 - but they're not happy about selling to the UK

JRR is listing it at 99,-$. I'm afraid 79,- is the deal price for the time being.

JRR code "group" brings this down to $83  

odd that they aren't as competitive as izotope - I suspect this will come down a bit when the dust clears :).  I'll keep an eye on audiodeluxe and pluginboutique

seems pretty pricey for an upgrade

showing as $79 in my izotope account - hopefully the discounters will bring this down...

didn't see anybody post this ?

run the xln audio online updater to update

wasn't it free before - direct from audiority ?

I picked it up

it's basically a Waves Tune copy (kinda) 

Waves Tune is cheaper and has less bugs...(sounds better too IMO ) - let's see if the issues get resolved -  for now I'd visit:

(and the excellent arturia ones....!)

FWIW - it's ilok (dunno if you can use the cloud version ?)

+1 on it being an excellent reverb

also as others have mentioned, check out the other freebies - I think his piano is very good

Hi Simon (or anyone else willing to chime in), with the current sale it’s actually cheaper for me to move to Nuendo @$240 instead of upgrade to latest version of Cubase @$299.  Just curious why you prefer to use cubase over nuendo?  Haven’t really been able to pin down what is the main motivation to use one over the other beside some features being released first for one and not the other.  A few others told me they use nuendo for work so have cubase at home so this is why they mostly use cubase.  Anyway, just curious to get your thoughts. Thanks.

familiarity mainly - I've been with Cubase since the Atari days (and pro24 before that)  - but despite SB saying that cubase/nuendo were in step, cubase still has new features first.   Nuendo 10.3 is just out which brings the Cubase 10.5 features to Nuendo several months after cubase.  To be fair though, it was a free update. 

 It's fairly rare I need the extra features of nuendo (Very rare indeed!)  - also I have 2 cubase licences but 1 nuendo so it's more likely I'll be sat at a PC with a cubase licence.

If it's more cost effective to buy Nuendo then Id go for it....but it wouldn't be surprising if we saw a Cubase update sale in the next few months.  

It's fairly insane that you have to give up your cubase licence when you upgrade to nuendo...can't see why they don't let you use both ...it's only one licence on one dongle.

Good to know.  I was hearing some things that made me wonder.  I couldn't believe that Cubase didn't offer the option but I don't see it in my version (CB 10 Pro).

I think the export function arrived with version 10.5 ?

Question, I usually use ProTools when putting audio on video, like the recent Westworld contest.  Does Cubase do this? It looks like you can import video, remove the audio from it, and add your own audio. But does it export as a movie/mp4 file?  Looking at the comparison between the two versions, I'm not even sure Nuendo does yet either.  I will stick with PT otherwise.  There is very little I need in Nuendo. 

yes you can do this - but export options are limited...and it's windows 10 only

14 have been released for free since the KLANG series started; I counted four that were marked as free on the website, though it's possible I missed something.

Does this happen in Cakewalk do you know? 

not sure - the developer said (months and months ago)  "I've been suddenly getting a lot of reports about this" but that was the last I heard  

It's still a good delay BUT just far from perfect.....

FWIW - has a bug on the VST3 version in Cubase - bypass doesn't work when you export...so you get delay wether you want it or not !

developer aware but seemingly not interested in fixing....fine for $25.81 but less fine for $300

I noticed that the free "width knob" also wouldn't bypass at all in Cubase ..YMMV
