I think a fiend of mine got married for the same reason...

It really doesn't take much money... Hard drives are cheap. How big is your boot drive? You can buy a 2.5" 2TB bare drive for under $60** and a 30day trial for Acronis True Image 2020 for free. https://www.acronis.com/en-us/homecomputing/thanks/acronis-true-image-2020/ and if all goes well you can keep the backup and later if need you it then buy a licensed version or wait till they have a sale. Note that there are other good backup programs and some decent free ones - I've just been using Acronis for years and have been happy with it. **a quick google search came up with 4 deals on 2.5" 2TB drives. Granted they're bare drives, but that's really all you need. The reason I mentioned 2.5" drives is that all you need to run one (connect it to your PC for use) is an adapter cable (and assuming that your USB ports are up to spec - no power supply or power cable needed). You can get SATA to USB cables dirt cheap. USB 3.0 to SATA III Adapter Cable with UASP SATA to USB Converter for 2.5" Hard Drives for $6.99 or on EBay for $2.78 SATA/SSD/HDD Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter Converter Cable for 2.5 Hard Drive Top If you already own an HD docking station then you can save $10 or more per drive by buying 3.5" versions.

Looks like it's similar to Blue Cat's PatchWork but with patches that require other 3rd party plugins, like Omnisphere, Syrum, etc. Not saying that's bad but he's kind of ***** footing on the requirements. If you're a nube and pick this up - how much content is usable?

Wondering if anyone else is running into this or if I've been blessed with this particular headache. I've been having issues with IK Multimedia plugs in Cakewalk, not all but selected plugs or selected presets when using certain plugins. Note that this is not an issue with the latest Cakewalk build - I've reinstalled previous builds (2511, 25.09, etc.) and verified same issue. Originally I thought is was because of high CPU usage but that doesn't appear to be the critical factor. For example using AmpliTube 4 with the Brian May collection - half the patches won't play (Brighton Rock - Live Killers, Death on Two Legs, Fat Bottomed Girls Rhythm, Flash, etc.) even if there is only one track in the project with the only FX loaded being AmpliTube 4 regardless of sample size or sample rate and same thing with Tape collection, for example the 440. However with Studio One 4 - no problem, I can have both of the above plugins loaded on same track and no drop outs System specs: InteI(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2301 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical. Running Windows 10 Pro, 64bit v10.0.18362 Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 24.0 GB HD: Samsung SDD850 EVO 1TB Audio Interface: IKM AXE I/O I was previously using a Roland Quad Capture but had same issue with the IKM Tape collection, got AmpliTube4 after switching to AXE I/O.

if you're talking about Mercuriall - refresh your browser cache. Price changed to: $39.99 for new customers $29.99 for existing customers I tried to buy it at the sale price (had item in my cart) 5 minutes after the sale ended and the transaction crashed as invalid.

With coupon code HOLIDAY2019 the price drops from $49 to $41.65 Dang you Starise, I had just vowed not to buy any more plugin this month...

Both versions support VST & AAS, HD also support the VENUE S3L and S6L live sound systems.

The 6050 Ultimate channel strip shows up for me as $199.00 $49.00 https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/mcdsp-6050-ultimate-channel-strip-native the McDSP 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip HD https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/mcdsp-6050-ultimate-channel-strip-hd matches the pricing you mentioned. There's no listed spec difference that I see - yet, still looking... Edit: found the difference... So for most of us HD does not justify the added cost.

Everything carries a risk, even do nothing... Windows 10 is currently free, but it may not stay this way - so take advantage of it. As previously said make a backup - but do a proper, the I can do a total restoration from scratch type backup. Then upgrade your system - if all is well, great. Now you can obsess about something else & spend your change on plugins or sample libraries or whatever. - if your system bricks, not likely but shit happens, then use your backup to revive your now verified as obsolete hardware. At least you'll know that the day when you have to pony up for a new system is going to be sooner than you hoped. If the upgrade is a success you might even find your system runs better under Windows 10, many people do.

Just a note for those interested Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra. Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra is also sold by Sonic Scores. If you're a registered owner of their Overture 5 you can purchase a download version of Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra for $99.

Sale ends tomorrow Jan 2nd. Upgrade to Complete at JRR is now at $119 (coupon codes no longer work) Upgrade at Best Service is $119 but your get a free Hall of Fame 3 convolution reverb (see list below) and you can use your BestCoins. https://www.bestservice.com/the_orchestra_complete_upgrade.html

Isn't instagram one of those mail order dispensaries for medical grade 'hemp' products that you can now get legally in some states? I'll have to ask one of my kids.

Happy New Year to all my gassy friends! May 2020 be the best deal for us all!

You could lend a hand? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not trying to be snarky but manpower = money. For a free program, QA staffing is going to be limited so they depend on 'early access' testing to catch bugs they missed. The more people participating, the fewer bugs appear in the release. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/36-early-access-program-new/ "The Early Access Program provides pre-release versions of Cakewalk to the public for general testing and issue reporting. We provide Early Access builds to help us get better real world test coverage from users, which is useful to improve the reliability and quality of our releases. Participation is 100% voluntary."

Updated V4.31 (2019/12/20) MIDI Program Change preference is now saved into session instead of global preferences, so each instance can now use different MIDI channels. It is also saved in the user default preset. VST3: added program change support for VST3 plug-in format. Mac: much faster GUI rendering on recent Mac OS systems. Mac: fixed user interface not properly shown on retina displays in some applications built with the 10.14 Mac OS SDK (Cubase 10.5 for example). Mac: fixed settings panel rendering issues in dark mode on Mac OS Mojave and newer. VST: the user interface is now properly resized in Cubase on Windows when loading skins. Dropped support for legacy RTAS plug-in format.

Blue Cat releases Freeware Plug-ins Pack II https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Bundle_FreewarePack This was released on 12/20 but wasn't noticed / mentioned here. The good old (and new) Blue Cat Audio freeware audio plug-ins gathered together in a single package: this bundle contains a wide range of premium modulation effects, a guitar amp simulator, a single and dual-channel equalizer, a unique midi-controllable gain suite, as well as a professional spectrum analyzer. Also, as previously announced by our friend Larry, Blue Cat's Winter Sale is ongoing till Jan 10th...

Any idea of how long sale lasts?

Complete version does...

Assuming that those controls can be mapped to automation - you can use something like Blue Cat’s Peak Meter Pro to map the guitar’s volume level to levels on the Wall of Sound controls

Yes, very useful in film or video sound tracks, especially suspense or horror genre.

New deal up. Was waiting for All Cage Bundle It's the All Age Bundle https://8dio.com/instrument/the-new-acoustic-grand-ensembles-bundle-for-kontakt-vst-au-axx/ ... bummer

Info extracted from https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_PatchWork/ It is possible to chain effects in series or create up to 8 parallel chains that can be activated independently. This lets you create your favorite effects or instruments configurations within the plug-in, without the need for multiple busses. These configurations can be saved as presets and recalled instantly, or shared with multiple DAWs, using any plug-in format (full list below). Use the built-in audio effects to add color to your own plug-in chains. For each plug-in slot, latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo integration, audio i/o selection and individual plug-in bypass are included for optimal operation. The plug-in also stores the position of the window for each plug-in so that the layout is restored with your session or saved with presets. Also, sub plug-ins can be automated or controlled with external control surfaces using Blue Cat's PatchWork parameters mapping capabilities. Input and output level meters are also available to monitor the signal that is dispatched to inserted plug-ins, including side chain and aux channels.

Or create effects chains that you use can use between DAWs!

get another 30% off (of $79) by using code: HG376GT during intro sale (so $55.30) But no samples included... and it's a sample player (uses Kontakt player). Might be really nice if you don't have Battery or other drum oriented sample player.
