I’ve got AT5,  Scuffham, and some Karzog stuff. Does Softube bring anything different and worthwhile to the table?

So I guess it comes down to with all the tools most of us have at hand...

Here's an example with SGear, AT5, and one of my Fifty's reamped for the solo

I want it, but do I need it....

@cclarry

Was the Jubilee already offered, or is the $59 price point the "deal"?

Amp Room using the Softube Silver Jubilee

Oh boy...

Guitar, pickup selection, signal chain, etc? please!

I don't need this, I really don't need this, I really, really don't need this...

just the Softube Blues Breaker

Guitar, pickup selection?
No pedal sims in front of the amp?

Just me, but I think I hear a lot of low end that I would high pass in a mix (not a crit, most tracks I high pass).
Do I hear a live Blues Breakers vibe here, oh yeah...

t

I need one more Marshall sim like I need a (well you get my meaning)

As to the Pop Rock kit. 
IIRC, it was an EZD1 kit, default maybe?

It shows up in the Product Manager as an “owned” kit. I believe that is because I purchased EZD2 as an “upgrade”. New users can buy Pop Rock. 
I think I have this right, so did you buy a full license?

Rob, send me the cwp file , let’s see if I can route it properly. 
Do a “save as” “EZ Test”, delete all audio, save. Upload the cwp via a personal message. 
Let’s see if I can route it correctly and get you going.

the original EZ Drummer long ago, I seem to recall that it was a traditional kit

The Pop Rock Kit sounds like.
Did you upgrade EZD 1 to EZD 2? 
If so, you should still have the Pop Rock Kit.

There is a thread here where James Argo posted some EZD drum maps.
Cursor down a bit, included is a multi-out cwp file as well.

HTH,

"if I was doing commercial work",  do you mean SSD would be a concern?

I'm not sure.
I've inquired a few times IF the SSD read/write limitations were an "issue" for audio drives.
Never received a definitive answer.

Of course, if I was doing commercial work, every session would be backed up multiple times.

I have a new EVO which I am going to use for audio

I had the 2TB EVO, and was doing some other "maintenance", so I pulled the old "Black" and subbed the EVO.

only time will tell...

I did "stack" them, didn't I?

Hold on! I got $25 for the Survey, now I get it!?
discount went to $25 and I just assumed...
(and children we all know what happens when we assume)

There's a reason I have DA branded on my forehead!

Looks like you can't use the survey voucher and the $20 sale voucher at the same time

they locked it out...I tried first thing this morning

It worked on the SPL Transient Designer, I paid $14.99 ($39.99) with both applied. I got the impression that it works above $30

YMMV

Yeah, both mixes gone now, IBTL? ?

Somehow I missed the UserSurvey, so thanks to @Walter Cruz.
@cclarry got the SPL down to $14.99, he who hesitates is lost SAVES; as always many Thanks Lars...

@Pathfinder I have to admit I'm am currently running an EVO 2TB SSD for audio in the studio rig.
The Black was getting some age on it, and I had the EVO; preventative maintenance.

The SSD read/write limitations would be a concern IF I was doing commercial work...

what do you do with a vocal midi track after you successfully capture it ?

Pitch correct the midi file and use it as a "guide" for the retake.

True story:

Covered Come Together, the melody starts on the bIII.
Tune is in D, I come in on the I every time and slide it up to the bIII.
Was driving me NUTS!
Put an F, used an organ patch, over the top of the intro, cured the problem...

t

haven't played the tune in a long time, would probably hit the I on the first take

am I supposed to notate minor 3rd as iii ?

@Rob Heflin Old projects, missing plugins; its always a nightmare.
(Timeworks pops up every once in a while, that rattle some old memories; eh?)
As to your EZDrummer issues, if you are comfortable using drum maps, you can reroute notes in the map.
Save an existing map, say EZD Old, and change the output on the problem note.
You can PM if you need some help...

well high end WD 1TB

I have been using Western Digital Black drives for years; never had an issue. 
HTH,

it's a really good idea to back that recording up to an external drive regularly.

backup, backup, backup; redundancy is our friend...

I guess my concern was over time those 4 bits sharing the same spot would become an issue. Thanks for straightening me out!

Anyone else tempted by this?

 

NO!

 I jumped on the 4TB QVO back in September, did a little research and canceled. 
My numbers are probably wrong, someone will correct me, but if I understand it right;

a Pro (do I have that right?) is 1TB, the same EVO 2TB is the same drive putting to bits of data on the same spot, the QVO is 4TB puts four bits of data on the same spot. Looks like a recipe for long term problems to me. 
I’m sure I have over simplified this, maybe even misinterpreted; someone will set me straight.

here's an improved version

I didn't catch the first mix, so I can't comment as to improvement.
I can say I did enjoy, so ?!

t

I'll add a ? for Airliner as well...
Always love me some Stevie Guitar Miller

I'll just echo the comments above.
Well done, so ?'s.
Really good arrangement, that gradual build; very nice.

t

It appears you've wrapped your head around CbB pretty well Larry.
(this old dog has learned a lot of new tricks from Mike)
I'm a 3 minute rocker myself, so the ambient pop genre is a bit of stretch for me.
That said, it was a good "chill" piece, and I did enjoy it.

The Solstice has come and gone so here's wishing you continued success in the coming New Year!

Never wish for things you don’t want to happen.  The Seattle area is due for a dose of snow and cold. Please don’t take this wrong Doug, but I wish they’d close the border again.

for years I frequented Regina, then Brandon in the summertime. I love Canada, but fear I am not “man” enough to weather the winters...

have many friends that were effected by the flooding.

Merry Christmas to all! My gift to you is the Kindle edition of Part 1 of my biography.

These recollections of my time as a UK recording engineer look back on an era where capture of a performance and a good sound were paramount. They could only be achieved using ‘ears’ and ingenuity supported by minimal technology, unassisted by computers, sequencers or plug-ins, none of which existed in studios at the time.

Definitely worth a read!

@cclarry Perhaps deserves a "Deals" thread of its own!

Ric, I've found a few minor editing errors, but I am enjoying the read!
