Thanks for the heads up @Matthew Sorrels! And good luck in solving your issues.

In terms of quality customer support I have to mention UJAM, excellent experience even if they didn't have a direct solution for my Cakewalk issue it's still very rewarding. And another vote against online-only authorization method here.

Brilliant! I just came back from hard work of cleaning my drives from AAS plugins spammed all over the place (and even twice in my main Vstplugins folder!) and need a shower now. If it's a some OSX maintenance update I simply don't wanna go back there to clean all that stuff again. Please keep us posted .

Well it's just too difficult for me to find the change log on their site, it seems ?

As we're on the freezing topic. I was always trying to avoid having to freeze. as often as possible, and the main reason for it always being that I feared of loosing the exact instruments/effects state after unfreezing. What are your insights about freezing, is the problem occurring often, or maybe, for some of you, never? How often you guys use that feature? I had some bad experience with Synthmaster not properly loading it's saved state where I had to re-load the project second time and everything was fine then. Hate to have my head always busy with checking if everything is playing correctly but that's how it is now in Cakewalk, always have been. I assume with freezing Synthmaster I'd experience similar issues now and then. Was wondering how are other plugins?

Missing those jrrshop codes...

I agree that slapping Tape Machine 24 on every track would be the best scenario but with it taxing CPU as much one would need to upgrade to the quantum-CPU to make it even start working. Maybe if IK allowed us putting an instance on each track but then mixing them all internally into a single instance in the background, that's a similar idea to what sknote's Strip is doing (plus it's adding some fancy crosstalk and whatnot), but in that form it's already not far from just using a bus.

I've got TapeEcho and the four Tape machines already so it looks like it's just one plugin for the price of one for me, hmm... ?

Just had to delete some of the NI/EastWest/Sampletank/etc. libraries from my tiny overcrowded drive to make room for this one!

now waiting for that BOOM...

can share my code if you want it

^^ yes, this!!

To follow up, I just had a Cakewalk crash when trying to load Waves EchoSphere. Upon the next Cakewalk launch vst scanner told me I have one (1) plugin less than I had before crash. The EchoSphere is still there and working fine. Go figure out. ?

@scook brilliant.. that was it! thanks

When I load Kontakt or Dexed, they load with Enable MIDI Output already activated. If I happen to forget to turn it off I may have issues with doubling the recorded MIDI data in tracks sometimes. Is there a way to globally disable all VI's MIDI Output on plugin load? Thx

lot's of mouse post work here

Hopefully this can make my miserable speakers sound like NS10s

Don't have any suggestion for you, unfortunately. Just wanted to say that I have similar GUI issues in UVI Workstation and some of the uJam drummers.

Ah, here's what you mean! I get you now. I'm still thinking it's doable, to an acceptable level, if you have the skills and know what you want to achieve. But I forgot to say that typically it would require outrageous amount of work. Yeah, I get you now. That's actually very simple to do with pitch bender, I can do it when simulating a guitar solo as well when playing a solo on a synth. Quite common trick .

It would require more editing afterwards for bringing out more articulation nuances that are impossible to play live, I believe it's doable.

Couldn't agree more. But I'm not one of these youtube influencers, these guys should be more responsible for what they're saying. As to our $50, spending once on a software surely will give you overhead over any lesson, but in the long run it's the playing skills where you win. Artificial music will always be, well, artificial ?. Scaler in the hands of a skilled musician, that's another story I see on that we both agree.

I think I had a better example but could not find it right when it's needed , so there's just that (maybe except a few notes here and there)

I get it that the software may be worth spending money, the math is on your side I'm only trying to say that I don't think it's a good idea when the kids are being told that they should invest in the software instead of playing skills. Eventually some of them could become the new Hendrix or Zawinul in the future. And most of all, they'll miss that joy and fun you get when playing a real instrument and end up only clicking a mouse, that won't take them much further.

A year or two ago I saw this guy on youtube reviewing a chord progression pack for Cthulthu or Scaler (don't remember) and saying something along: for the same price I would prefer these chords packs over music lessons. He was a kind of an influencer, this all made me sad.
