It's probably the most unique and creative tech manual I've ever seen. I read parts of it, and saw many references to Dante's Inferno (9 different sections, like the circles of Hell). I would say that it really strikes me more as something like the players guide you would get with an RPG adventure video game, such as The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.

It was a bit over 1.7GB installed, as best I can recall. Aquarius also caches the installer files. You need to "purge" them if you don't want them hanging around on your drive as well.

I installed this and found two cons right from the go. Cons: 1. You need to install the Acustica product manager "Aquarius" to download and authorize the plugin. 2. It uses almost 2GB of disk space. For a channel strip plugin? Pros: 1. It looks purty. For me, not sure it's worth keeping on the hard drive as something I might only use occasionally. Also have no other Acustica plugins, so don't really want yet another product/license manager on-board. But thank you Focusrite, for continuing to offer premium freebies to us interface owners!!!

Just click one button. Simple. Non-owned gear is then not shown. Amplitube 5 User manual, page 47 - Gear Selector. Top right, under the options button.

Well... based on that changelog from AAS, didn't see any pressing need to update at this time. Big thanks to @Promidi!!! Will wait to see what the next round holds...

I just added his Luftrum 19 for Repro 5. Very impressive!!! I already had his soundsets for Iris 2 and Pigments 2. Love me some Luftrum also! Now I just have to find some deals on Omnisphere, Dune, Diva, and Zebra so that I can buy more Luftrum! ?

https://www.luftrum.com/ Bioscape is 30% off, from $159 –> $111. Lunaris is 40% off, from $159 –> $95. Pandorum for Omnisphere 2.6 is 50% off, from 79 –> $39 With a few exceptions, everything else is 40% off. Code: "LONGERDAYS".

Maybe it's not too obvious or intuitive, but simply clicking the STOP button a second time returns the play head to zero. ?

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover by Spitfire Audio is found and working fine fine here in CbB, It is essential that you check your VST scan paths to be sure that they are included correctly in the CbB scans for VST plugins. I have both the Spitfire VST2 and VST3 plugin versions available in CbB. It is possible that the Spitfire installer put them somewhere outside of your defined CbB scan paths.

Yes, Studio Instruments is a free separate download for the BandLab version.

Applied Acoustics Ultra Analog VA-3 Upgrade from Ultra Analog Session $199 $49 https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/applied-acoustics-ultra-analog-va-3-upgrade-ultra-analog-session Free with purchase - Applied Acoustics Ultra Analog Session https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/applied-acoustics-ultra-analog-session So buy anything, get Session for free, then upgrade to VA-3. Simple! Or could you actually just buy the upgrade first, to get the free Session that you need to upgrade from? Hmmm...

Right! Like asking the river that carved the Grand Canyon when the job would be done. The river would likely have answered "soon". "Soon" is a totally subjective concept where the meaning totally depends on your point of view...

I have the v3's of Ultra Analog and Chromaphone. The new v3 GUI is awesome for both, and the dual engine 'Layer A'/'Layer B' for the new AAS synths truly rocks with more complex sounds made possible!!! They have remastered the Chromaphone v2 factory presets for use in v3, plus added a new new factory presets library for v3 to Ultra Analog and Chromaphone. Not implying here that they added Layer B to the former presets, as that feature only appears to be used in the new v3 factory presets.

Yep.

I still have a Windows 7 box for games running a GTX 950 GPU. I like older games (like 5-10 years old) that run really well on this older hardware. Got a good deal on the GPU about 5 years ago. I always let my computers idle to sleep when I'm not actually using them. I'm sure that adds to the lifetime of fans, as well as lessens the general wear and tear.

Naw. He's got a grown up day job now, and builds FM synth chips in his spare time... Not coming back to Cakewalk anytime soon.

It's always been "soon", like next year for many years. Bulent's "soon" is meaningless. But these current sales appear that he may be prepping for release? Who knows... But he has said that his latest 2.9.9 release will be the last before 3.0, so I'm betting that's next. Not gonna say "soon" again, though. LOL!!! Then again, don't completely rule out releases 2.9.10...11...12, etc. ? At any rate, it keeps getting better. He has already merged some code from SM One back into SM 2 to prep for 3.0.

Well this deal was posted 2 weeks ago. For $29 there was no point sitting on the fence waiting for a better deal! ?

The latest live stream from this past Saturday:

Deal ends in 4 hours!!!

The names and versions explained: SM 2 was the first synth from KV331 Audio and has been around for years, and should soon be upgraded to SM 3.0. SM One was a newer proof of concept spin-off for a simpler one layer synth and some new tech. It was also successfully expanded to the mobile iOS platform as a separate app purchase. SynthMaster One iOS is KV331 Audio's first full blown synth app for the iPad. So regarding the bundle, it's entirely up to you to consider if you will really use SynthMaster One. Not a good deal if you just want SynthMaster 2.9 and can get that for $29. That's the lowest price I've ever seen that one go for. Reminder: The $29 deal ends on March 30th, 2021 at midnight eastern time Simply get 2.9 and save the extra money for the upgrade to 3.0. I have SM One, and it's a pretty good synth on it's own, with a good factory library of 1200+ presets (not SM 2 compatible) so if you're not sure just try the demo. Download here: https://www.kv331audio.com/synthmasterone.aspx SM 3.0 will get the new tech from SM One, and will be able to load presets from SM One, and other new features. So if you have SM One, you will have access to those SM One factory presets using SM 3.0 (not the same ones as the SM 2 factory library of 1800+ presets).

The bundle that keeps on giving!

Love my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen!

No offense, but... Your avatar is cool!

Things were much simpler back when I just had to decide which Cakewalk plugin to use...
