I'm a piano player ?

Good. You're giving us enough time to update all of our computers to the latest before trying out TR6

It's like comparing Ferrari and Lamborghini! Both are supercars, it's just a matter of taste and the spec. Eventually one of them we'll get for a price of a regular car (which wouldn't happen with them cars anyway) so I'm getting it that way. I unsub'd from forever29 so I'll probably have to buy this or the $75 voucher on the aftermarket and be done with it.

They are late to the VST3 party and unfortunately we can't do much, just wait until they polish them more. That Cakewalk isn't among officially supported DAWs doesn't help either. If they say they didn't check too much with Cakewalk, maybe they did just what I did after updating - plugin opens fine, no crash - all good! Two-three plugins in a project is a no-no, it's not like there are the only plugins in a project. Please post us with another version if you find out it's behaving considerably better than 5.4.1. For me it's still VST2 for a while.

Got the Dirty tape code free to anyone. Give me a shout over a PM message ? EDIT: dirty code has been cleaned out!

What I did was to complete the bundle on the other group buy (then they released new stuff obviously) ? between Hotone Audio and JST, based on the first letters ?

Got the Tape machine 24 free code if anyone interested? As usual push me a PM message. EDIT: gone to trager

Code went to Milan, thanks all for the interest. On that occasion I've learned the unexpected (to me) about how PMs is working on this forum, this should help me avoid any confusion next time ?.

@Milan I sent you PM Amazing approach and fair to do it that way! Also a valuable lesson for me for the future

Dang! I replied to PM from Niky then I saw your post here... Next time Milan?

And I've got a free code if anyone's interested, just drop me a PM! ?

I had to test it myself remembering that I just recently updated to the latest 5.4.1 as well and sure enough I can only put max 2-3 Soundtoys VST3 plugins in a track before I get regular glitches while I can put 10 or more VST2 plugins instead and playback keeps smooth, just a short buzz on stop (or when clicking on TWEAK button to extend the GUI).

I have Lites and Gig, both at v2.0.24. Don't know exactly when has the update to v2 happened but IIRC, I was confused with two ways of installation after the purchase, sent them an email and got a quick and helpful reply so my experience is very positive. Oh yeah that's a shame.

It's a bit of an irony that this voice is coming from a country known from having one of the most liberal market (I'm playing a little game with you on this, please don't take it seriously at all, LOL). I think nobody is going to do anything about it as this will be easily qualified as low social harm . Besides I've bought a few libraries for very low price so I have no right to complain!

I bought Broadway like a year or two ago, had a nice quick email exchange with support, saw there was an update so it looks like and gives impression as being kept well maintained.

not yet released

that was my point (OTOH anyone can price their product the way they like FWIW, AFIK, AFICT, etc etc)

one could say they are loosing too much money on this deal

Thanks. Your NUC specs seems amazing comparing to my bit older hp elitedesk mini with 6th gen i7 and your intel UHD is again much better than mine, and still my lovely little box is quite capable even today. You should expect it smashing awesome with the Cakewalk/Scarlett tandem assuming both video and audio drivers are fine. I'm pretty sure you did check if you didn't accidentally hit the Pause/Break button on your keyboard.

You should be able to set your keyboards to output MIDI channel 1, 2 or 3 respectively, and the instrument track input in Cakewalk to omni or all inputs (none should work too) and all should be fine. You also might want to check though if bouncing your recorded MIDI track to audio works fine once there are any swell pedal or leslie fast/slow changes in it, cause the last time I tried it didn't work properly and I haven't seen it fixed since by the IK team.

Please forgive me the off topic, but what is core-parking and should I care for it? (and is it something I can adjust on my own being a musician and not a programmer so having not much experience with bios or group policy settings?) TIA

For strumming editor I'd say it's already quite (r)evolutionary on it's own and there's not much wrong with it, in my experience. It's bit limited in how many patterns are in one preset (6). And we can't move the strokes slightly off the grid to give it more human feel, except with the swing, strumming tempo/time and some 'humanize' settings that I found in the SETUP that sometimes might help a little. But there's still that mechanical feel that's sometimes hard to overcome. Manual strumming could be the solution but there are missing dead/muffled/muted (don't know exactly how to describe it) strokes, on the left side, and that alone makes it unusable for live MIDI recording, unless I'm still missing it somehow. I see there are other articulations right, on the other spectrum of the keyboard, but again, you can't just skip around the whole keyboard to play chords (blue keys) and the strokes (yellow keys on both sides of the chords range) at the same time, so mouse editing afterwards is necessary. Soundwise OTS libraries are killer, and in strum mode only some articulations are too soft. I for example have tried replicating a flamenco strumming with the Nylon library, but some slaps/chokes/hits are still too light and there for me it was still lacking some realm. Pls note I'm talking about the last few percent to the 'immaculate effect' missing... For soloing it's amazing though, from another room my wife thought I had bought a real gitar!

Oh and I'm only looking for the Kirchhoff EQ while on $99 sale, so timing must match this condition for me too.

Drop me a PM! ?

Another good candidate would be Fable Sounds Broadway Big Band or Broadway Gig, quite playable these are although I would expect the VHorns to be even more, but obviously out of price range for me too. A responsible use of Session Horns could give you bit of this Jerry Hey-esque type of sound . I used to have a good experience with Yamaha's VL-synthesis giving me very convincing brass section, unfortunately I have sold the BC3 controller. Let us know your findings!
