https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/audio-plug-ins/eventide-instant-phaser-mk-ii At AudioDeluxe $37 (See following posts for cheaper deals from other vendors) Own the First Studio Phaser Released in 1971, the Eventide Instant Phaser began the studio effects revolution by successfully simulating tape flanging, an effect that’s been at the core of legendary albums for the last five decades. Reminisce back to a phaser with analog personality, smooth modulations, and inherent musicality. Outfitted with a complete host of control options, the Instant Phaser Mk II is out of the rack and into your plugin arsenal. This new emulation of the classic effect accomplishes the same legendary sound notably used on hits like Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” and “Presence”. The capabilities have been expanded, and now you can even take your phaser on an excursion from the 70s far into the future with the delightfully characteristic “Age” knob. New Age, Old Age, and Everything in Between As hardware phase-shift networks get older, they don’t line up as well as they used to, revealing their analog character. The resulting effect is less exact, for tracks where imprecise nature is desired. While component drift and unintentional effects are usually omitted in hardware emulation, we’ve decided to put the ball in your court. For a phasing sound that’s straight out of the factory, set Age to 0%. To capture the sound of the same phaser 47 years later (present day), set Age to 25%. The remaining 75% allows you to discover the Instant Phaser among the wreckage of a dilapidated studio hundreds of years from now and check it out on your new single. Change the Feel, Switch the Mode The Instant Phaser Mk II offers three different sonic characteristics that change the amount of phase-shift sections, simply labeled “Shallow”, “Deep”, and “Wide”. When “Wide” is selected, the Instant Phaser Mk II gives you a different amount of phase-shifting on both right and left channels, resulting in a slightly different effect in each ear. You can use this to turn flat mono guitars into huge stereo leads, or make your single channel synthesizer fill out the sides of your mix. Different Ways to Phase The Instant Phaser allows four distinct methods to control the phasing: Manual allows precise automation of the phasing. Oscillator modulates the phasing at a constant rate that you decide. Envelope changes the phase whenever your signal passes the specified threshold. The plugin accepts a side chain input for this control method. Remote maps the phasing control to a modwheel for tactile manipulation. Features Add Age for component drift and electrical leakage in your phaser Offers three different flavors of phasing with the Mode switch: Shallow, Deep, and Wide Utilize one of four distinct methods to control the phasing Depth allows you to combine the phased signal with the dry signal Added Side Chain function allows you to trigger the Envelope Follower from a separate source in the mix for inter-track mingling Exercise total control of the Oscillator with Sync and Retrig controls Use Feedback control for a more pronounced sound Includes standard gain input and output

If you haven't checked out Precedence you should - at the moment it's my favorite spacial placement/manipulation plugin. Try the plugin or listen to the audio demos. It can add life / movement to a track without being overbearing or obnoxious. Also it can work with Breeze 2 to also control verb and image placement - at the moment the connection between the 2 is kinda wonky (i.e. manual connection required) but the upcoming Jan update is supposed to seamlessly link them . Just a reminder that this sale has a hard stop of Jan 19th (not sure if that means that sale runs until or through Saturday). The sale has already been extended once and 2cAudio says they won't extend it again. Also per creator 2cAudio: There's a huge thread about it on KVR Direct link to 2cAudio Precedence page (audio examples and demo download): https://2caudio.com/products/precedence#_Overview Note: If you're a first time 2cAudio customer I can get you a $20 referral discount (so example for Precedence that would be $59 instead of $79 ). Send me a PM - I'll need your full name and email address to plug into my 2cAudio account to make it work. Pardon the self promotion.

The 12 Tone/Roland/Gibson Cakewalk forum is dead, long live the Bandlab Cakewalk forum! It has been confirmed that the old forum breathes no more.. Aye, new posts shall never more land on that fair territory once so familiar and precious to us. Let us contemplate a moment on our fallen yet archived posts then raise a glass in toast to this new forum as we face to meet the future head on!

Twinkies... (better than saying [deleted])

I've been really looking forward to this eclipse but currently the weather forecast for my area (Los Angeles, CA) is cloudy ☹️ Keeping my fingers crossed...

That a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

To a lesser degree (see map in OP) the eclipse will affect some of Europe, Africa & Asia.

There will be a total lunar eclipse coming our way, beginning on Sunday, January 20 2019, and lasting into the 21st! The darkest shaded areas of the globe are where the entire eclipse is visible from start to finish. Moving outward from that region, portions of the eclipse are visible. Where can I see it? Totality of this lunar eclipse can be seen and experienced everywhere in the Western Hemisphere, as well as extreme Northern Asia, Ireland, England, and portions of France, Spain, and Scandinavia. When will this event be taking place? The eclipse will begins on January 21, 2019 at 0236 GMT and will end at 0748 GMT. For those who don’t want to convert GMT to our time zone(s), the eclipse will run from 9:30 p.m., on Sunday, January 20, 2019 until 2:45 a.m. on Monday, January 21, 2019, for those on US Eastern Standard Time. Why will this be happening? The moon will pass through the Earth’s shadow on the far side of the Sun. When that happens, the moon will appear red (what is known as a Blood Moon) and get very dark before emerging from the shadow on the other side. For more info check out: B&H Eclipse Info

Glad to hear that your up and running! Thanks for posting what got you fixed up.

Clean link without all the gunk https://8dio.com/instrument/adagio-violas/ According to a couple of different posters at VI Control this is one of their best string libraries. Here is a comparison of various 8dio string libraries:

Vocallective's NATA female voicebank for the Plogue Alter/Ego realtime voice synthesizer is now a free download Site: https://nata.vocallective.net Plogue Alter/Ego https://www.plogue.com/downloads.html#alterego Announcement: https://www.twitter.com/vocallective I haven't tried this yet so can't testify to how good/bad/easy/hard it is.

I was wondering the same thing and contacted the creator. I received the following reply this morning.

May or may not be related but I'll mention this in case it might help. I recently had a similar problem with Wave 10 after I reinstalled the Abbey Road suite where the VST scan would hit Waves 10 and then crawl like a sick slug , issue went away after I reinstalled Mercury. Details: Waves uses a couple of DLLs to cover it's library. Abbey Roads was on WaveShell3-VST3 10.0_x64.vst3 and after reinstalling A.R. the DLL was the same version but had a newer time/date stamp than the other two. Additional attempts at reinstalling A.R. didn't change things, reinstalling Mercury (which updated WaveShell1-VST3 10.0_x64.vst3 and WaveShell2-VST3 10.0_x64.vst3) did. As mentioned previously problem didn't occur till after after I reinstalled Abbey Roads and all the Waves VST3s were the same version. Now my VST scan times are back to normal. If still having issue try reinstalling your Waves plugins.

Caught my attention because its one the few (at the moment) new libraries specifically for Kontact 6. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://soundethers.wixsite.com/soundethers/granular-moon-kontakt-6 Soundethers has released Granular Moon, a collection for Kontakt 6.

I still have my Akai S900 with the GreyMatter expansion. I've thought about selling it but every blue moon I dig it out and use the audio triggers for something or other so for the moment I'm going to hang on to it.

If audio is coming into Cakewalk in an Audio Track - can't you drop your plugin in the track's FX bin?

Note: In case you missed it - most of Voxengo's freebies now have VST3 versions. https://www.voxengo.com/group/free-vst-plugin-download

8-Jan-2019: Voxengo is pleased to announce the release of Warmifier version 2.2, a valve warming/harmonic enhancing plugin for professional music and audio production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plugin formats (including native 64-bit support), for macOS, and Windows computers. This updated version includes the following changes: · Added ProTools 12+ AAX64 support. · Redesigned the infrastructure controls. · Implemented color scheme editor with load and save functions. · Added several new color schemes. · Made the user interface scale switchable without host reload. · Added 90%, 110%, 150%, 175% visual scales. · 29% lower CPU usage on AVX2-capable processors (in 64-bit mode). · Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows. Warmifier is a special audio effect AAX, AudioUnit and VST plugin for professional sound and music production applications which processes audio signal in a way similar to analog tube/valve equipment. By using Warmifier you can achieve valve warming and “console” coloration effects. Warmifier is applicable both to the complete mixes and to the individual instrument tracks. You have several parameters at your disposal that allow you to control the strength and the color of the effect. Also, you have several tube/valve types to choose from. Each valve type offers a different overall coloration. While the effect of this plugin is definitely subtle, the difference it makes is similar to the difference in sound between various analog mixing consoles. In most cases it boils down to adding a subtle “sparkle”, “presence”, “warming” or “solidifying” effect to a sound track it was applied to. Warmifier features: · 7 valve types · 2 processing modes · Stereo processing · Up to 8x oversampling · 64-bit floating point processing · Preset manager · Undo/redo history · A/B comparisons · Contextual hint messages · All sample rates support · 41 ms compensated processing latency · User interface color schemes · Resizable user interface · Retina and HighDPI support Warmifier is available for purchase on-line for US$ 39.95. Demo version of Warmifier can be downloaded freely at the Voxengo web site: http://www.voxengo.com/product/warmifier/?eref=ml
