    That would be a question for BandLab to answer. You know what we know.

    That's just one of those features that should have a dedicated button.

    Surge is one of those classic soft synths, that appeared in the golden age of soft synths back in the mid-2000's. Alongside other names such as Rhino, Vanguard, Wusikstation, and z3ta+. So it is definitely dated, but the synth engine under the hood probably deserves a little respect. I agree that the interface could use an update, and hopefully the new open source caretakers will move in that direction. It's been a while since I opened it up myself, as the interface is just not that inspiring to me compared to the dozens of other synths in my kit. Not that you cannot make some great sounds with Surge, but it is a bit more difficult to stay engaged and inspired by the interface. It would just require a bit more patience. And since Surge is free, there is no risk of buyer's remorse.

    Udemy is a great learning resource, as is Groove3. You can usually find interesting courses on Udemy that are a bit more in-depth, and less expensive than Groove3 if they cover your musical education needs. But Groove3 seems to have a broader scope of information and more titles regarding current music software.

    Wait no longer. It's baaaaack! ?

    I agree. I would say 3 people is a very small company...

    Only hitch in that is there will no longer be any humanity left to sell plugins to! Just a sign that says "Final Waves Sale!".
  8. abacab
    Waves will be the last company standing when the world ends.
  9. abacab
    The Waves sale that never ends! Ha!

    I wouldn't upgrade my DAW to Windows 11 just yet, unless I had a good image backup. The easiest fix if things go sideways is to fall back.

    I usually try demos first now, and if they pass the first cut, there's rarely buyers remorse these days.

    That's quite likely true, but is it also demand driven by the now free Cakewalk by BandLab and first time DAW users seeking answers? There are some good YouTube videos for Cakewalk out there, but IMO those only supplement a good printed guide when you are trying to learn a specific technique. But Cakewalk's PDF reference guide is now an unholy 1880 pages! ? Fine when you know what you are looking for! But for getting started?

    I switched to storing my Waves licenses on a USB flash stick as well. Totally portable, and no iLok! And I use the iLok License Manager software, so no dongle for iLok. No Steinbug dongle either. So just the one for Waves. Just don't mess with the Waves partition on the USB stick. The Waves partition on mine is taking up a whopping 249MB. With 14.22GB unallocated on a 16GB USB stick.
  16. abacab
    Already got it! ?

    One must actually sign in to Google to watch that.

    BandLab hosts a user base of 40 million creators globally and the recently announced acquisition of artist services platform ReverbNation. https://caldecottmusic.com/press/9859-introducing-caldecott-music-group I imagine that some of those 40 million BandLab users will eventually decide to take Cakewalk by BandLab for a spin. Judging by many of the questions posted in the Cakewalk forums by new users these days, the wave has already begun.

    I bought one WUP to bring my Waves plugs up to the resizable GUI version. But other than that, I'm fine with being WUP-less...

    Waves plug don't ever "expire", you just won't get new versions or fixes to the old ones.

    I have Scheps Omni Channel and can confirm that is is very well behaved in regards to system resources. Even on my old PC.
  24. abacab
    I saw a video comparing the features of Scheps and CLA, as they are a bit similar. It might be handy to have both!

    Windows 10 will be supported by Microsoft until Oct. 14, 2025. That's the scheduled retirement date, so there's no reason to rush into Windows 11, LOL!!! https://www.pcmag.com/news/microsoft-is-retiring-windows-10-home-and-pro-in-2025
