Yesterday Pete confirmed that the X-Gear (software only) pedals will be available as freebies. It looks like they will be at the $149 tier.

I just got an email which seemed to imply that the XGear software pedals were now available as a free option for the Group Buy, but I did not see anything like that on the website. Is that correct?

I bought a second CD of Wilco's Sky Blue Sky once. Also I've had copies of Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl, 8-track, cassette, CD, and this obscure tape cartridge format I can't even google.

but is it good enough to be posted twice?

I think I have both bases reasonably covered. Maybe I should forgo the lagniappe and buy the upgrade for $40 less for BF.

This is the Cakewalk forum after all. Anyone who's been here more than 3 years knows that story fairly well.

So Hive or Repro?

Not to mention that a lot of their products are 70% off.

I picked it up when Cakewalk was going through bankruptcy. I enjoy it because it reminds me of Project 5. It's mostly straightforward but the things that aren't can be maddening until you figure out. And by figure out I mean google the answer and commit to habit. I never upgraded past version 2, though, because they seemed more interested in making it into a modular environment than adding features which would improve workflow.

They have been porting many of their plug-ins to VST3. Guitar Rig is not yet one of them.

It was at 43 a second ago, then refreshed and it is at 44. Wonky counters indeed.

A good question to ask is whether its worth going to MAX to get these components, or getting the ones you want through the custom shop. If I had to start from nothing with this current sale and my knowledge of what I like and don't I don't know if MAX would be worth it.

Fixed issues in Cubase 11, Ableton 11.0.10 , and Logic, and Apple Silicon issues. Nothin for PC users who don't use those hosts.

I haven't actually removed any because I am usually the guy who will try to make everything work at some point I am not getting rid of Abbey Road 60s though. Every once in a while I do some neo soul and AR 60s just fits.

Usually the GC coupons exclude most of the store from their coupons anyway.

I wonder how fast 1000 licenses will go in a day. It's still available though for today.

I saw a number of updates for the Play Series of Kontakt Instruments (Analog Dreams, Ethereal Earth, Hybrid Keys, Lo Fi Glow, Modular Icons, etc). Not all updates addressed the same issues, but some of the common ones were an issue with notes hanging and others with the tape simulator causing dropouts.

Fret not if you don't have the everything bundle... they usually have their packs deeply discounted a couple of weeks before Black Friday.

If you are signed in you get a deal to complete your collection of packs for any of their instruments, which is usually much better than the regular half off.

Nothing much. Mostly a small change for Mac users.

You'd never guess that he produced hip hop based on his demos of some his products though

I was playing around with "The poor man's Absynth" the other day. It still has some interesting tricks up its sleeve http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/indexDesktop3.html

Hey I kind of like the bass riff the guy is playing on the drum pad near the end. This does actually sound pretty decent but there area also a lot of good synths out there.

I have enough sounds I don't need that I probably wouldn't notice.

I missed it in the other 106 pages, but are the freebies transferrable? Or more particularly, if I wanted to buy myself SampleTron could I register a few bonus Amplitube products under my son's account?
