I think that iZotope Iris 2 falls into a similar misunderstood category. It is unique, and does some very interesting things with spectral filtering.

Yep. you just have to remember not open it mid writing flow because once open much time may pass.

They do everything in their power to be as unhelpful as they can including blaming the customer for the issues they are having.

This.

Classic example was when many customers said the contrast wasn't great on ST4 UI. Their answer was that it's not the UI, it's your screen (that somehow seems to be just fine with all other UI's)

Really gotta like AAS.

Sadly, I'm starting to feel the opposite Grem. I've long been a fan and I have bought every version of every synth (except CV-1)  and my "complete your collection" deal is $34 for CV-1, so as a more loyal customer I get less of a deal than those who skipped on the upgrades. It is a very good deal, maybe even an exceptional one, for those people, but seems like something of a kick in the teeth to those who have paid for those upgrades each time. IIRC they also gave away all the v3 upgrades to those who didn't have them with purchase of CV-1 when that was launched. The moral of their  story these days seems to be don't pay for the upgrades, so I'll probably take that on board in future.

I baked this today and was thinking of you paulo. Weird to know a 50 year old man wearing an apron was baking in his kitchen half way around the world thinking of you isn't it.

No, no......not at all........

Well, ok,  a little...but you made me a pie, so as long as there's some cream to go with it....

At least it wasn't a butcher's apron.

In the future there will be universal translators for animals.   Even between species:

Dog: "Hello!"

Cat: "F*** You"

 

As a small child, I thought that dogs were male and cats were female.....

Make of that what you will.

Are currently in a glass of fizzy water?

Usually spend the night in a different room to me ?

Used to belong to someone else?

Had a fresh coat of brilliant white paint yesterday ?

All of the above ?

But I think Studio One 5 Pro looks more professional

You have to use Protools to be a Professional. I thought everyone knew that.

I don't recall how I found out about Sonar

In my case it was when I received as a gift "a day in a recording studio" - replace studio with very insulated shed in the guy's mother's garden and you'll pretty much have the full picture. I'd previously had a very brief and unsuccessful foray into PC based recording with a junior version of cubase that crashed every time I touched anything at all on my keyboard. No doubt it was something I was doing wrong, but steinberg support was worse than useless, so I gave up with it and went back to previous ways. Watching this "studio" guy work with his Sonar software (v2 IIRC) and his collection of  "plug-ins" that would give Bapu a run for his money (and that I'd never even heard of before then) everything just seemed so easy, so I ditched my plans to buy a range topping Roland workstation keyboard type thing and went the Sonar route instead (the then current  v5  came bundled with a suitable interface) and I never looked back. I clearly had a lot to learn, but not crashing every time I touched anything was a much better starting point. Can't remember how/why I discovered the forum, but it soon became clear to me that it was probably the best asset a user had. I was mostly annoyed with myself with what happened after I had laid out for the lifetime updates because of going against what gut feeling told me and ignoring the oft proven wisdom of when it seems to good to be true......... but then it turned out ok after all. I don't really consider it to be free updates, more a case of getting what I paid for, but from someone else, but I'm grateful  that Bandlab picked up the pieces and happy for the continuity of having some of the same team behind the scenes to preserve what was so special about it. I never felt the need to immediately seek alternatives when gibson pulled the plug because it still worked the same as it did before and I was quite happy with that. I do have S1 Pro ,but I just don't like looking at it.

it does require you to select which regional accent

I've occasionally wondered if animals have regional accents. Many years ago the owner of a dog rescue centre in Zakinthos told me that most of the dogs there ended up being rehomed in Scandinavian countries and it gave me visions of a Greek dog trying to understand what it's Swedish counterpart was trying to convey....

Sometimes I have too much time to think........

What they need to come up with is some sort of system where all the letters are displayed in some sort of logical sense from A to Z and then they spell out the full words so we understand what all these abbreviations mean.

It got so bad at one of my old jobs that they had to put out a memo with a list of all the abbreviations and what they meant because nobody could understand the emails the corporate office was sending out.

Back in the day I put a memo offering Special High Intensity Training from senior management on the main noticeboard for anyone who felt they hadn't already had enough. Several people actually signed up for it.......?

CbBbCMG.

Not exactly catchy, is it?

Might be some overtime opportunities coming up in the marketing dept.....

It takes about 2 years to get that sheep smell to dissipate

I'm kind of used to it now as there seems to be quite a strong whiff of sheep in most places these days. I've noticed that many people have taken to wearing cloth masks to try and avoid smelling it, but haven't yet figured out why the smell of sheep seems to follow them everywhere.

I'm thinking that's it's a cunning plan to make buying the komplete bundles seem more attractive.
