But they do still have the 25, 49, and 61 key versions of their MPK keyboard line as current, and VIP ready, although without the fancy VIP LCD display.

I forgot about them - probably because in my head I've already written them off as being too flimsy and toy like (like most of the other brands in fairness to Akai). The Advance just seemed more robust generally.

Ace of Spades - Motorhead.

(I was trying out a new card trick. I won't know if it has been successful or not until tomorrow am)

Still waiting for Akai to update their VIP 3.1.1  software to include VST3...

Clicking on the release notes from the help menu within the program takes you to 404: Page not found. 

https://www.akaipro.com/vip-release-notes/v3.1.1

And they have moved their Advance controllers for VIP to their "Legacy" products page... https://www.akaipro.com/products/legacy

Abandonware?

Yep, they seem to have struck up an exclusive deal with the button pushers union.

I thought the advance was quite a nice controller, but lacked faders and like many a larger 76 or 88 option which seems to be almost essential to get the best out of Kontakt and Omnisphere.

Is it bad that I opened this thread expecting to see a deal on a new little DAW called Levity?

Layer this over the vocal track....

As loud as possible.

You can't make it too loud.

" It never did me any harm............."

Well, it might harm the bat a bit, but other than that..........

I mean, it's not like it would do any harm, right ?

What about bats?

Should people eat bats?

Nope. It is what it is (sadly).

Phew. That's something else I don't need to buy then.

She does look like she eats healthy.

I must be getting old 'cos all I can see is that she would probably look better if she put the cheese ( I'm using that term loosely here ) on a couple of burgers and ate them.

That and the state of the skirting board.

I can't see that they can really compete with toontrack.

Yeah, so far they've been pretty hopeless at issuing upgrade now or else ultimatums.?

And I have a $10 off coupon for some of that junk.

You better hope that it's $10 junk then, or I might start thinking that you didn't really send me your money.

My experience with prime day is that there is a lot of junk.

Yeah, but this is different.......

It's two days of junk.

After FL Studio, and Studio One, Live is the # 3 most popular DAW in the world.

Actually the list is of the favorite/best DAWs by the readers.   I'm quite certain Live is more popular in terms of usage than Studio One.

Also, popularity is always dependant upon who you ask and not necessarily a reflection of how good something actually is.

This of course was said by the chancellor, in slightly different words.  (leaving it at that for for fear of making a TOS violation.)

 

Well, if anyone knows how to get a job that you're not really qualified for, it would be government ministers.?

I've probably never managed to be able to look at it for long enough to find that out.

That's just a down payment. More to follow as soon as I collect my share from that Nigerian Prince.

Oh that guy huh? Well prepare to be disappointed. I gave him all my bank account details ages ago and he's never put anything in. If anything I seem to have less money than before.
