I would have stick my neck out to say that an SSD is almost a requirement for a Win10 boot drive. ?

I build my own PC's. I like doing that and having a lot of control over the components and software that I use. But if I didn't know much about computers, I would probably have saved up and got a Mac. And if I had a Mac I would probably spend more time making music...

Yes I am, thanks! It takes special breed of cat to "crack the UI code" for Rapture sound design. It's definitely not the easiest synth to program from scratch, compared to most modern synths, and rather unique.

Already had the 30 for 30. Just added the Magic Russ in the Muz3um set. Very nice, and a fresh reminder of what a great sounding synth that Rapture is!!! Cool stuff! ? Just a note that for some reason at first the F5 preset refresh did not work for me in CbB, after adding the new folder to the Rapture Programs folder. But finally got that working. Maybe stuck keyboard, I dunno...

Haven 't seen any recent discussion on the topic. Not likely to be a workaround for a DAW centered project chord track that all tracks in a project would respond to. But there are a few 3rd party plugins that will generate MIDI chord progressions that you can drag and drop into a project track. Have you looked at Scaler 2 by Plugin Boutique? https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Music-Theory-Tools/6439-Scaler-2 "Scaler 2 is an inspirational and powerful music theory workstation that gives you access to a world of new ideas, expressions and melodies. With powerful detection of MIDI and audio, Scaler 2 can determine what key and scale you’re in and suggest chords that match your music. The plugin helps you discover the perfect melody with performance expressions, and can even suggest ways to change from one key to another." The main difference with using 3rd party tools is you need to build your song track by track around the same scale, rather than having a global track in the DAW where other tracks could follow along with any changes made within a single chord track. Not an easy feature to implement at the DAW level!

MELLO - FI is cool, as is the included "tape-stop" effect!

I already had a AL 4 license, and was granted with AL V when they released it, so now I have both versions (on same license). I don't know if that works in reverse, though. I would check with Arturia support.

21H2 appears to be solid. Go for it! But always back up first before upgrade!

I think the topic is only related to the possibility of revoking developer's VST2 dev kit licenses for future development and distribution of VST2, not the end user's product already in hand...

PreSonus Hub is a fairly recent thing (v1.0.0 December 12, 2019). Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January 2020. There are a few posts over at the PreSonus forum commenting on the Windows 10 requirement for Hub, such as this one from Dec 30, 2019 "I tried to install the Hub, but the install program indicates that the user has to have Windows 10 or later for that". I assume that user would have been trying with the v1.0.0 installer. Any doubts, probably should check with PreSonus support.

Given both formats for bread and butter sounds, my preference is for anything Arturia over sampled Kontakt instruments. Samples are great for orchestral and acoustic sounds, however. Just my opinion, of course, but the quicker preset loading for modeled presets is my top reason. All of my samples are on an SSD, but still...

Even with the V Collection, I would still recommend using the Analog Lab V to browse and audition the sounds from the AL V browser. And the AL V macro controls are already setup to tweak the most common performance controls in each preset, so you don't really need to open the full synth edit page. I currently have 12,578 presets available to search from in my Analog Lab V browser. That includes all of the full V Collection 8 presets, the Pigments 3.5 presets, plus a few additional Arturia and 3rd party libraries. So being able to search all of those presets from a single browser makes it a bit more manageable. Still chipping away at marking my favorites for a faster search. It is a massive keyboard collection, and more than just synths! Piano, Digital Pianos, Clavinet, Organs, Mellotron, etc. Analog Lab will let you open the full instrument in edit view if you own it, so once you find a sound you like and want to tweak it more to taste, that is very accessible with one click. But Analog Lab alone is quite a value. I already had Analog Lab V, Pigments, and Piano V, so I wasn't really planning to upgrade to V Collection. Until Arturia sent me an upgrade deal that I couldn't refuse last year. But I'm really glad that I did the full upgrade!

Or just buy the V Collection! It includes Analog Lab V. You know you want it!

Looks exciting!

I should have said that it's impossible for the offense to score with a punt play. It's intent is simply to turn over possession of the ball to the opposing team and push them back as far away from your goal as possible. Similar to the way a goalie defending their goal in soccer (futbol) can drop kick the ball away. The alternative would be a place kick play for a field goal, that may or may not go over the upright at the goal posts. The punt is reserved for situations where you are too far away to kick a field goal.

When we Americans PUNT there is no realistic expectation to score a point, it's not like kicking a field goal. We are giving the ball back to the opposing team for them to begin a new offensive drive with. But the explanation of the Irish Pound (PUNT) is very interesting! Or the English version, "worth a bet" (PUNT). Wow, this word sure can be confusing, LOL! Either of those would make sense in the context of "worth a punt".

That phrase had me wondering for a minute. In American football, "to punt" means kicking the ball away to the other team. Apparently over there "worth a punt" means "worth a bet". I get it now!

If it's even possible for Steinberg to revoke existing VST2 development licenses, I am pretty sure that would only apply to new development, not your existing VST2 plugins. They already exist, and so there's no way to turn them off, except in the host.

I think that I prefer the drum sound in the video in bypass mode.

Any good?

Anyone tried these out yet?

Many of the ST3 sounds are not duplicated in ST4, but are available and used in ST4. So you may not want to remove the ST3 libraries path for that reason. You don't need the old application anymore, but that really doesn't use all that much space. ST3 here uses 135MB in Program Files and 217KB for the plugin .dll.

Truth! I have an original Alesis QS6 from the 90's, and some other Roland gear, including an Roland XP-30, fully expanded. Had a Korg X2 Workstation at one point in the 90's. Still haven't given in to the modern analog hardware renaissance. Not enough cash and space keeps me from buying, LOL! So ITB is my thing now!

I guess that it would make the most sense to begin with an EZbass line that you like in this case, and build the rest of your song around that. Keep it simple.
