Thanks for updating my favorite theme!

Depends on what you are looking for... A Guitar VST like TH3 will process you playing palm mutes on your guitar (similar to using a guitar amp). In this case you're not simulating pal mutes your playing them. If you're looking for something that going to take already recorded guitar sounds and make them sound like palm-muted notes ...maybe, but the results would probably not be what you're looking for. I mean you could probably craft an FX chain to do that but lot of effort for minimal payoff. If you really want to go that route talk to your friend Google and you can find a thread or 2 describing the technique. If you're looking for realistic sounding palm mutes and don't want to use a guitar to create them - there are a number of Kontakt libs that have sampled palm mutes. Here's a freebie: https://forums.envato.com/t/free-palm-muted-guitar-for-corporate-music/7644/4 Sample of sound: test1.mp3 It will take a licensed version of Kontakt to use it though, and then you could TH3 (or a number of other plugins) to 'amp' it up. Or here's one of Orange Tree Samples commercial libraries. If I recall correctly many of their guitar libraries include palm muted patches and can be used by the free Kontakt player.

Not that I expected it to, since I haven't had these issues with other installers, but neither disabling my ESET A/V or running as admin (useless as the installer is self elevating) or both made any difference. One thing I noticed was that when I first installed the update installer Windows 10 brought up the blue warning screen.

Same issue here.

Awesome indeed. Christmas came way early this year!

I just fired up the installer to log out and back in and it showed up! Downloading now.

What the hell is Spitfire actually optimizing with that option? I've not done it because I've not found any info. I've seen with some companies where optimization meant downgrading samples - for example from 24bit to 16 bit or worse. If it was a step up you would figure that all new additions would be pre-optimized prior to delivery but they're not. Or if it was that great a feature they'd be bragging about it.

No Dulcimer update here either, mine's 1.03.

Hope I'm wrong but I suspect this sale was a cash grab before they fade away into the sunset and that assets will be licensed off to Plugin Boutique and other resellers.

I ordered Renegade Mini and SoundSpot sent me dead links, got everything else I ordered. 2 tech reports on different days - no receipt, no response.

Perfect for those of us who have never been able to master the technical wizardry required to play this deceptively challenging instrument!

Hi Grem, I've found that I get better deals than BF but waiting for NI's 1/2 annual off sale (sorry but I forget when they do it) and then buying their stuff through a reseller like JRR or PluginBoutique. Don't know if that changed last BF but it was true before. Lot's of fantastic stuff for Kontact free & otherwise.

Thanks Larry. I'm on their mailing list, don't know why they didn't send me an email ...

Sorry you blew it... $10.44 USD Now we gotta take away your computer.

Thanks!

Haven't had a chance to play with this but it looks like another nice tool for the electronic musician's tool box. I use programs like this for painlessly authorizing/licensing my plugins before I run Cakewalk's VST plugin scanner. I'm sure there are other free VST hosts but these are the one's I'm aware of: SaviHost: https://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm 32bit, 64bit, VST2 & VST3 versions available. As well as versions with or without virtual keyboard. https://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm can load/chain multiple VSTs One of the first free Stand-alone VST host programs that has been updated multiple times. Still viable and useful. Image-Line's MiniHost (has been in perpetual beta but solid program) Download: https://forum.image-line.com/viewtopic.php?f=1919&t=123031#p893663 Details: https://www.image-line.com/support/flstudio_online_manual/html/plugins/Minihost Modular.htm VST2 - 32 & 64 bit versions, no VST3 support. Has virtual keyboard. You can also create/test plugin chains Also has a VST2 plugin version so you can use your chained creations in your DAW. Currently this is my favorite standalone VST host because you can create a desktop shortcut and then drag&drop a VST (*.dll file) on the shortcut and it'll load it up. Quick & painless way to test or authorize a plugin. Carla (I haven't used this one, but have heard it mentioned on multiple occasions) https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla Carla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin formats. It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CC and full OSC control. Currently supports LADSPA, DSSI, LV2, VST2/3 and AU plugin formats, plus GIG, SF2 and SFZ sounds banks.

>but the Bumblefoot require an amp that's only available as a Custom Shop purchase ($34.99) if you don't own AmpliTube Max Which brings up the old complaint about IKM not having realistic upgrade paths for those who (thanks to group buys or possible owning older versions of AmplitTube Max, etc.) own most or all the AmpliTube libraries.

Appreciate the download link but how about one to the plugin creator if we want to find out more or see what else they have?

Little review & trailer for game: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-03-27-monument-valley-2-is-currently-free-on-ios-and-android looks interesting! At least on iOS Laura Croft GO is free as well (also mentioned in preceding linked review)
