I always love seeing Abacab posting, as it reminds me of that amazing song....

Alright, I can't stand the suspense any longer...........which amazing song does he remind you of?

I see the OP's point.  Looking on my laptop (win 8.1) whatever font they now use for the menus does seem to manage the quite unusual feat of being both bigger yet also less clear. First time that I've even looked at them TBH and it does seem a bit like change for the sake of change rather than an improvement.

it’s been tuned specifically for guitar,

Probably just as well they don't make one tuned specifically for harmonica...

Too right. That could lead to Limp Bizkits.

And don't mentioj the trend (OK, it goes back a couple of decades now) to film everything so dark, you can't see what's going on.  So "we" pay to see nothing and hear nothing, right? ?

Or........... if you must have lighting, then it must be in shades of teal and amber.

And is that the bass player trying to catch up with the singer, but dropped the charts behind him?

Can't be......that guy has his own transport.

I could have just bought NI guitars, then. I'm sitting on top of $500 worth of guitar and bass plugins, in addition to a real bass and guitar with FX pedals after I got when I was frustrated with virtual ones, but never learned.

Which NI guitars are your favorite?

Oh man....now I feel like I just took a  whizz on your chips. That wasn't my intention, just stating my preference as someone who has all of them. The  thing that I really like about the UJAM ones is how the mod wheel handles the muting in real time - all guitar vsts should have that. As for NI, the ones that also allow you to play individual notes rather than just trigger patterns are obviously more versatile than the others (ie electric sunburst deluxe rather than the regular version)  but they all sound good. Could they use more patterns / a more in depth ability to customise the patterns....yep, I think so, but when bought at 50% off (the only time I ever buy NI) then it's hard to be too disappointed.

Sounds like a useful and versatile concept for rhythm guitar sections.

I wonder how does AcousticSamples guitar bundle compare to UJAM VG series for pop rock. I got it recently; has two acoustic, two electric guitars. They're built on individual note samples that can be played solo, but also automated patterns and manual chord playing.

 

I have both. I use UJAM more than AS (ie: occasionally v hardly ever) but both are just blown away by the NI guitar products IMO.

our company originates from the hugely successful Steinberg Virtual Guitarist released at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt in 2002

I still prefer that version in some ways. The FX section was certainly more versatile.

Looks quite interesting for a freebie.

Shame that there's no prize for the fastest  remix.....

I could improve that song 1000% by pressing just one button.......M on the master buss. ?

You might even get it free...that's how I got Iron....

Yup. Today's UJAM release is very often tomorrow's freebie, or at least very near to freebie. I wouldn't buy anything from them at the release price.

For the benefit of anyone who is thinking of trying this and not already aware, UJAM V2 upgrades tend to overwrite your previous version, so if you try it but don't buy it then you will be locked out of your existing version when the trial period expires, so you will have to uninstall v2 and then re-install/re-authorise your original to get back to where you were. 

I haven't tried any of the guitar v2's, but would recommend that any CW users try before you buy as there are issues with at least the drum v2's.

Has it been like this for a long time (longer than the latest CbB build)?

As I said before, I'm using CW 2020.09 and I'm pretty sure that the issue was present before then, maybe even as far back as when Melodyne v4 was released. The initial release version certainly had a few issues. 

When Melodyne comes up blank, clicking again on the selected audio clip in Track view works for me. (2020.09). I'm so used to doing it now that I'd forgotten that it was a problem.

When any post is made regarding UJAM products a mention should be made that there products are not Cakewalk compatible.
If I had know I wouldn't have bought their Dandy Bass plugin

The original v.1 guitar and drum products I had were fine for me. I only started to have problems when I upgraded one of the drummer vsts to v.2, so I guess that's when they broke them. As "compensation"  for having a  broken v2, they gave me a GM One licence  ( that was already being given away elsewhere anyway) which also has the same problem. LMAO.

 I haven't even bothered to try the basses as they look very much like they are built on the same platform, so I would expect the same problems.

Yep, they told me that they don't see much enough of Cakewalk's userbase to justify the investment into fixing this.

I think people from this forum should start spamming their email regarding the Cakewalk bugs. Or just stop buying their products until they start fixing. But I like their products and really would prefer they'd just fixed it.

The guy I was dealing with actually said that I should just buy studio one if I wanted it to work properly as they "don't know how to fix it".

It's probably fair to say that I left him in little doubt what I thought about the idea of changing a DAW program just to accommodate one drum vst.

The more "sales" I see, the more I lose interest. Not just here, but in all areas of life. I find the relentless pursuit by  whatever business for whatever money I may or may not have really quite tiresome.

" Today’s winner will be announced in the comments before we open the second door tomorrow." 

So they want everyone to plug their product, but only one person gets the thing that they were already giving away months ago......LMAO. 

FWIW this product has the same UJAM acknowledged problem as the other UJAM drummer VST's when used in Cakewalk.
