Yo, chill. No need to shout ?

I hate how the screenshots for the tutorials are always way too small ?

The English issue isn't out yet, but will be coming soon too. With the latest issue of Beat you get two AAS soundbanks of your choice. They give you a voucher which you can redeem on the AAS site where you can then select two soundbanks for free. Also, if you missed the last Beat issue, you can still get Bitwig 8-Track with this issue. And of course, as usual, there's another free Zampler Expansion, FXPlosion II, which offers ambient and FX sounds. Subscribers can download the latest issue at https://www.plugins-samples.com, you get the serials at https://www.serialcenter.de/ It doesn't seem to be available at the Falkemedia shop yet, but certainly won't take long.

OMG, you're right. I just realized that my MIDI controller is also directly connected to the PC. Only mic and guitar are connected to my audio interface.

That's not a deal ☹️ The only way I know is to use an audio interface and a MIDI cable.

My antivirus (Bitdefender) won't let me install it. ?

As an Ableton Live user I don't need that. I can do the same with Ableton racks.

The release date for Ableton Live 12 has been anounced today. It will be released on the 5th of March

Do people who own a lot of Waves plugins like to use the StudioVerse effect chains for StudioRack? Like, do you think that they're good and useful? Time-savers? And: Does it really use up 16GB disk space when you install all the plugins inside of the Horizon bundle? Like, what is using so much space? It's mostly just effects, not huge sample libraries.

I feel that way with Oblivion Sound Labs. In fact, it's more like close to 100%. Even their free soundbanks are amazing. They really shouldn't be free. Diva owners have to check out their free soundbanks: https://oblivionsoundlab.com/product/radio-waves/ https://oblivionsoundlab.com/product/diva-oblivion/

I like how they probably have chosen Alicia Keys just so they could make that pun and name it Alicia's Keys.

Nice. Could it be a price error? I've read that it's very good. Has anyone here got it yet?

https://www.waproduction.com/bundles/view/2024-valentines-bundle For € 18,67 + Vat you get: Their Obsidian plugin 8 sample packs: Future Bounce Flair Fierce Future Garage Vocals Kinetic K-Pop Chill House Reflection Future Rave Phenom 80s Retro Revival Lucid Electro Pop Ferocious Future House Plus you get 0.5 chips (when you have 1 chips you can exchange that for coupons or virtual cache) And you can get Ultimate FX Bundle 3 free with every order. Or Combustor if you spend more than $50 or Outlaw if you spend more than $100. If you already own one of the sample packs you can get the bundle for €14.

And also available at WA Production: https://www.waproduction.com/plugins/view/mcenter And free with any purchase at Loot Audio: https://www.lootaudio.com/checkout/?type=basket

The funny thing is, that the regular price now is twice as much as it used to be, so that with the voucher you now pay the same as you would have done before.

I think they've only established this system recently. It's unusual for a website to force users to renew their password every few months, but they're not the only ones to do that and it's not necessarily a sign that they've been hacked. For a while it was recommended security practice to have an expiration policy for passwords. It's strange that your old password wasn't accepted when trying to change the password. Mine was accepted.

You enter your current password and chose a new one below. The platform still knows your current password, it just forces you to change it, for security reasons.

Yep. I bought it for €8.28. And currently it's still only €11.93 (with tax included - so might be a different price for others) at Glitchedtones: https://glitchedtones.com/products/limited-store-exclusive-elite-beatmaker-collection-save-840-51 Also sometimes you get their Ultimate Producer Bundle + the SFX & Atmospheres Bundle free with any purchase. It's worth subscribing to their newsletter.

Good idea.

I already have the Renaissance Maxx bundle though. And a few other plugins from Platinum. Upgrade to Platinum would be $59.99 for me. I'm undecided. But I think I'll pass.

Those plugins are ancient though, aren't they? They look like Windows 95 aesthetics.

Yes, I had that too

Iris 2 is a whole different thing to me. It's a soft synth and quite a unique synth where you can shape the sound by painting on a sample's spectrum to mask frequencies. You can use it with your own samples too, if you like. Octane on the other hand is not a synth but just a plain rompler. You don't have a lot of options regarding sound design. Just a ton of presets.
