Is there a quick/easy way to distribute take lanes to individual tracks? I thought there was, but if so it is currently eluding me..

Creating a Strategic VST Plugin Folder Setup +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= While VST3 plugins should be installed in the standard C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 folder they can be moved into subfolders with no problems. If you have a lot of them organizing them by vendor can help you keep track of what you own. Indeed many vendors, such as Eventide, already do this automatically. There is no hard standard for where to store your VST2 plugins on your computer. The more popular or common places listed by Steinberg are: C:\Program Files\VSTPlugIns C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugIns C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VstPlugins C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2 The problem with all of these locations is that C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86) and anything under them is what Windows defines as a system folder which means elevation (admin rights) are required to make changes. This can make it a pain to organize and to activate or register your plugins. As your VST collection grows updating and handling duplicates can become a real headache. A better strategy is to take control of how your organize and store your VSTs. This is the system that I currently use for managing my VST plugins on my Windows computers. It optimizes scanning, simplifies updating as well as backing things up, and eliminates almost all dupes AND it works across multiple DAWS. Also since none of my VSTs (except VST3s) are in system folders this setup also eliminates the need to run any of my DAWs in Admin mode so overall less headaches and oddball issues. This is my current setup (on my 2nd PC it's on D:\ and my Root folder is named D:\Audio not 'All VSTs') C:\ ├───All VSTs │ ├───VST32 │ │ ├───32Main │ │ └───Has 64 bit version │ └───VST64 │ ├───64Main │ ├───Has VST3 version │ └───Demos Note that since I no longer use 32bit DAWs I don't need to have a separate "Has VST3 version" folder under VST32. For Ableton my current scan path was: C:\All VSTs\VST64 *once 10.1 was released with VST3 support my paths were changed to: C:\All VSTs\VST64\64Main C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 For Cakewalk my scan path is: C:\All VSTs\VST32\32Main C:\All VSTs\VST64\64Main C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 For other DAWS I just select the appropriate paths. Note: Some ancient older 32 bit VSTs plugins need to run in the same folder that they were installed in. I've only run into a couple of plugins where this was an issue and reinstalling them into the my designated folder fixed that issue. Hope that you find this info helpful.

So how does this differ from similar from Blue Cat, iZotope or others?

Love this synth, though I'll admit I haven't touched it for a while.

If TrueIron was going for this price I would jump on it even though I have Saturn2.

Real question is - is a distortion module with that limited a feature set actually worth the sale price? Especial when most of us own similar or better?

FYI Brave Browser https://brave.com/

They've had 2 sales where the upgrade price was $99, but for me that was still a bit much. If they include the latest item (forget what it was) and they have a $99 sale later I might go for it. That said.. $49 would be no brainer, $99 then it depends on what else is on my WannaBuy list.

I'm not seeing any updates but I'm on v6... So either they're limiting it to v7 users or like SpitFire they're doling out access

No offense intended but is this why you commented in a post 8 months dead? Inquiring minds want to know...

Hopefully they will not only do that but use the existing installed AD kits - i.e. not require those of us who already own AD to purchase 'add-ons' to get those kits into XO.

Aside from some VSTs that emulate tape decks there's Wave's SoundShifter https://www.waves.com/plugins/soundshifter#creating-dance-risers-and-mixing-different-bpms It's even on sale right now for $29.99

or price? Yes they can be looked up but these are all details that should be in the initial post of a deals thread.

No. You can drag/export from XO, but not into.

WOW! At this price maybe I should buy them again!

I don't remember why, but it does. I went through the same song & dance in registering/upgrading X-Change's Decadance up to 2.5. Wish I could say it was worth it but I've never used it since and now can't even find it on my computer which makes me think that I just ended up deleting afterwards.

In my defense - i didn't see it on page one and thought it was new enough to be there. But I should've have known though if news is more that 5 minutes old that you already covered it.

ACDSEE is not a new company, use to use their stuff waaay back when. Back then they had cutting edge stuff. Haven't been using their stuff or following them for a while.

That's been it's fixed price for a while - still a good deal though and a good reminder...

Not a big deal but Actually €29.00 EUR or about $35

I think they give a discount, $10 off of sale price, if you own the other 3. But forget where I saw it ie on email or web site. Doesn't mean you won't get it cheaper on future sale or BF.

You can run it as demo/trial... https://www.ujam.com/dandy/

So... Has anyone installed this and if so what are your opinions? Does it work for Rock&Roll, Blues, Country, Jazz, Easy Listening, Hip Hop or even Alaskan Moose Funk?
