  1. I don't think anyone should have to pay for updates. The only thing I think could be charged for is a small upgrade fee for major new features. Updates that has had bugs should be covered for a lifetime.
  2. The benefit: Your saving money instead of ruthlessly spending it on useless plugins.
  3. Never to buy another Native Instruments ever again due to it requiring internet every month. It's never fully offline. The old version I have is fully offline, but when I updated to Komplete 14, it's been a nightmare! Eventually, I may revert back to Komplete 8.
  4. I don't know... I've already got BBC Symphony Orchestra Core.
  5. I'd be willing to share a bit of luck with you, Good Luck!
  6. Don't forget to remind people they'll be bugged to pay for upgrades every year!
  7. The only bad thing about trying to re-sync and upload again is it'll reset the views 🧐 If it bothers people too much, I could try and sync again and upload a 2nd version of it. I'll just use my computer instead of my ipad to do it. Currently I'm in process of getting a new PC. it'll handle it much better than my 15 year old system. Maybe there's an AI that could do this automatically online?
  8. I really thought I matched it well, and YouTube likes to run it out of sync if you play it using lowered graphics. I think it's tater tottering on sync and not sync. I used Power Director on iPad. I'm still trying to figure out a new PC for home right now, my old PC is from 2015. She's lip singing to her own vocal. There's parts where she "mumbled" thru parts of the song. I think it's much easier to actually sing a song vocally rather than lip sync to something you've already sang to. Sometimes, she probably didn't know the words? I tried using her original song and used Melodyne to break it all apart, but after she heard that, she said she would sing it again using a better microphone, for which sounded much better. Overall, I found the best viewing is to watch at 1080. Sometimes I think YouTube gets the video out of sync too... Best bet is to close your viewing app, refresh the video. If your able to download it, break apart the audio and video, then sync it better, let me know what tools you used to do it. 😁 On a side note, if anyone here knows much about Bandlab..... I want to release it on Bandlab, but it's not mine, it's hers written song. I don't know how to give her ownership or what is best to do in that matter. I can ask how she feels about letting me do that or try to ask someone in Bandlab for the best way to handle that?
  9. I collaborated with M.Bock Music in Bandlab. She has given me permission to post it on my channel. Please show a little love with a thumbs up as it is very encouraging, you know what I’m saying? I do a few neat tricks with her voice in this song, phase tricks. For full of effects, please use headphones. If you have a iPad or Android that has dual speakers for stereo, should be enough to hear the effects. Enjoy this remix and new arrangement! Her original song for reference —->> Original Song
  10. Thanks for reminding me. I already have a tool for that. For some reason I got myself stuck on just wanting to buy levels for any reason. GAS you know. I have HorNet Multifreqs which does what those plugins do. I just never thought about using it for just base space or any reason for that matter. I bought it because of GAS. https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-multifreqs/
  11. Just asking if there's a competitor product that does the same thing. From an article on the internet on how it works: The Bass Space feature in Levels by Mastering the Mix is designed to help you identify if non-bass elements in your mix are contributing unwanted frequencies in the low-end spectrum. This ensures that your kick and bass instruments have enough room to shine without being crowded by other instruments that shouldn't occupy the bass region. Here’s how it works when you mute your kick and bass: 1. Low-End Frequency Monitoring: The Bass Space section of the plugin specifically analyzes the low-frequency range of your mix, typically focusing on frequencies below 250Hz. It visually shows you how much energy is present in this range. 2. Muting the Kick and Bass: When you mute your kick and bass, you’re left with the rest of your mix (instruments, vocals, effects, etc.). This allows you to see if any of these elements are producing low-end frequencies that could interfere with your kick and bass when they’re brought back in. 3. Visual Feedback: The plugin provides visual feedback through a meter that indicates how much low-end energy is being generated by non-bass elements. If the meter shows significant activity in the bass region even with the kick and bass muted, it means that other instruments are introducing low-end frequencies that might muddy the mix. 4. Actionable Adjustments: Once you identify problematic instruments or sounds, you can take action to clean up the low end. This typically involves: - Applying high-pass filters to instruments that don’t need bass frequencies. - Adjusting the EQ to cut unwanted low-end content in elements like guitars, synths, or vocals. - Controlling the sub-bass range of certain effects or layers that don’t contribute positively to the mix. 5. Real-Time Monitoring: As you make adjustments, Bass Space in Levels will continue to provide real-time visual feedback. You can monitor how your changes affect the low-end balance and ensure that only the kick and bass instruments dominate the bass space once they are unmuted. This approach helps ensure clarity in the low-end frequencies, allowing the kick and bass to have their intended impact without being masked or muddied by other elements.
  12. I usually just use the AI feature where it listens to the music and gives me what it thinks is best. I don't go no further with the product. Sonible products seem to give me the best sound without doing any modifications to the plugins. I love simple plugins so I can focus on making music rather than mastering. The only thing I'm dig deep with is creating sounds, like using Shaperbox (my favorite plugin so far). I love to run Shaperbox in parallel with another Shaperbox for the most awesome effects! The reason I hate iZotope and Native Instruments plugins is that they constantly bug me once a month to connect to the internet to verify my purchases. I'm steering away from those products. Sonible hasn't ever asked me to reverify their software! I'll never buy another Native Instruments or iZotope product again just because of their constant nagging!
  13. I guess with kontakt 8 out... I'll stop updating everything just in case.
  14. That makes since. I was about to jump on this deal. I own Ozone 10, but rarely use it because I can't use it as individual plugins and I've found that Waves J37 & Sonible Smart EQ 4 & Smart Limiter combination to be much better than Ozone.
  15. Well... I have not heard from Cableguys since December of 2023 via email. I wonder if they dropped off the face of the earth? Anyhow, I have Shaperbox 3 and a demo of Filtershaper XL. I've been playing around with them. I have Cakewalk by Bandlab, but unsure how to set it up to run two plugins in parallel, but I also have a competitor DAW that can be setup to run multiple plugins in parallel. So... I run 2 Shaperboxes in parallel to copy cat Filtershaper XL and guess what? Running 2 Shaperboxes in parallel is less CPU intensive than 1 Filtershaper XL! Plus, I can replicate anything from Filtershaper XL doing this method, it just takes a lot more time, because the parameters are in different parts of the Filtershaper XL plugin. With this said. FilterShaper XL is actually 2 Shaperboxes in parallel (or not parallel if in series mode). You can copy WAVE from the demo version into Shaperbox and save it as a new preset! If your DAW can't support parallel loading of plugins, you can always get Patchworks or Metaplugin. So, yeah... I figured out how to save money...if Cableguys drops the price on Filtershaper XL this Christmas, I might get it to reduce the frustrating task of switching between two Shaperboxes Just to get the same effects.
  16. I haven't seen anyone take a contrary stance against iZotope for this peculiar creation. It's almost as if they are subtly referencing the 'Flux Capacitor' from Back to the Future. According to my email, I have one week to decide to take it for $39 instead of $49. I put it on one of my mastered songs and just using the presets, I couldn't tell that it was doing much of an enhancement from what I've already finalized. I can only guess it would be more useful during the production of the song rather than the mastered, unless your mastered versions aren't already saturated. I'm already using saturation on my master, so I'm guess using iZotope Plasma doesn't do much good for it.
  17. Another reason you don't need Scaler EQ.. LOL.. Since I already own Melodyne Studio!
  18. I guess that is $5 off from https://store.dontcrack.com store (search for Blue Cat Audio) for plugin script. Just can't bite right now. Maybe patchworks? Seems the up to 40% off is a deal for other plugins. I'm only been eye balling patchworks and plugin script. If I was offered both for $99, I would buy instantly. I don't need either product, but would be nice to just have.
  19. Because it's mobile. I can use it on my phone and iOS. You can't say that about Cakewalk. And it makes collaboration easier! I was thinking of file sharing websites, they are full of ads and some can attached virus or malware, etc. Bandlab is easy for newbies or people whom are computer illiterate to collaborate. I don't have to spend a whole lot of time in teaching the singer, guitarist, bass player, etc how to use Bandlab. I can spend more time mixing, and mastering the song. They only thing I wish was Bandlab to support 24bit files instead of 16bit. The highest they allow is 96khz 16bit. Once you find others you want to collaborate with, the hard part is to think how educated are they at the computer in getting you the files you need? Bandlab fills in the blanks and makes it easy for them to record and send that to you at the same time! I find and work with a lot of aspiring artists whom don't use the computer. They tend to be into their phones more than a computer. Bandlab is on the phone. That's a part of the equation where Bandlab makes sense. Bandlab is both on Android and iPhone. That's even better! When you get into collaboration with new and young artists, this will make more sense to you.
  20. With this new information... I'm curious if the following workflow is possible and how it might be done. Here's what I'm imagining: 1. **Create a click track in BandLab.** 2. In Cakewalk, **create a tempo map** by dragging the audio file to the tempo bar (when it turns blue, drop it). 3. **Import the click track** from BandLab into Cakewalk. 4. **Stretch the tempo map** in Cakewalk to sync the project in time with the imported click track. 5. **Export the adjusted audio** from Cakewalk to be re-imported back into BandLab. Has anyone tried this or know if it's possible? I'd appreciate any tips on how to achieve this workflow if it can be done. Thanks!
  21. I use Melodyne to create a tempo map and curious if it's possible to import that tempo map.mid file into Bandlab so that I can create beats on time with the song my friend created without a program. My friend just plays guitar and sings, but they don't use any recording software. That's why I use Melodyne to create tempo map. Anyone know how to import Tempo map.mid file into Bandlab for iOS or Android or Website?
  22. Whom decided to create the idea "The Elephant in the room" and what's the real idea behind the context?

  24. Why would this topic get locked? It's in the Coffee House section and not Deals section. If it was in the Deals section it would be subject to disappearing and/or locking.
