  1. Hello All, I’m sure you have all heard about the tragic and senseless loss of life due to a mass shooting on Monday here in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado. We will have a sale this weekend at the Bolder Sounds website with all libraries offered at 50% off - with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the Elevations Credit Union Victims' Assistance Fund for families of the victims. All proceeds from our sale will be matched dollar for dollar through a matching grant provided by Elevations Foundation and Elevations Credit Union. The sale will run midnight Friday (3/26) through midnight Sunday (3/28) MST. This is an opportunity to acquire discounted Bolder Sounds libraries and support Boulder families in need from this tragedy. * Your purchase during this sale is not considered a charitable donation. Bolder Sounds will be donating the proceeds from this sale. Thank you. Dennis
  2. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=10568 20 presets for Amplitube 5 designed by Slash.
  3. Saw updates this morning for Scarbee A-200 and Clavinet/Pianet. Native access did not provide further information as to what is updated.
  4. Right now there are two that I care about. 1. If I have a MIDI clip and I use Ctrl L to make it loop able, the resulting loop should end at the measure. Maybe there are some cases where people are doing polyrhythms and this could be toggled, but I expect most people want their loops to line up with measures. 2. I would like to be able to drag FX chains from the browser to the FX bin. And maybe have a shift or ctrl drag option to load without the container.
  5. You sure it's not duck season?
  6. Wonder if EHX is going to sue them for TM infringement for the Satisfaction Fuzz.
  7. In a lot of the plugins the preset names themselves are baffling. Whatever is "Thracian porridge" supposed to sound like? (aside from output of a random name generator?)

  9. I do use MRhythmizer a fair amount. It's somewhat like having the step sequencer from Rapture as a separate plugin, and MTurboDelay is so full featured that Swiss Army knives like to say they are the MTurboDelays of cutlery. Like you, I got MSpectralDelay as a gift and it has graced as many of my tracks as yours. I do use vocoders from time to time (not for vocals, more for "gating"), so maybe MVocoder might be worth a look. They also have this MTransform in the bundle which seems to cover similar ground.
  10. Lately I have been converting my P5 projects into CWBL. I noticed that whenever I save a clip to midi, and reimport it into CW, and then try to loop it with Ctrl-L, the loop does not end at the end of the end of the measure, but instead at the end of the last note. If I extend the clip to end at the end of the measure, it will usually convert to a loop correctly. This seems to be an unnecessary step to me.
  11. This was the Wizoo Platinum kit which came with sf2 and LM-4 mappings. I think I paid $25 for it. I used it mostly in RMIV and RMV but I now use it in Battery since CWBL does not seem to like RMV anymore. I think they had this kit in FXPansion's DR-008 as well.
  12. The crazy thing is that drum libraries keep getting more detailed and expansive, yet I have a lot of tracks where this 20 year old kit from Wizoo Samples that only takes up 32MB sounds just fine.
  13. Also, for those that don't know, you can deconvolve other reverbs with MConvolutionMB. I used it to create some impulses from GlaceVerb, so I would be able to recreate some of those sounds in my hosts that don't support 32 bit plugins.
  14. It's $ 192 for me to update to the MCreativeFX Bundle. Considering I have the following, are there any other plugins in the bundle that are must haves? MConvolutionMB, MSpectralDelay, MTurboDelay, MRhythmizerMB, MGranularMB, MHarmonizerMB BTW if anyone wants to use my referral code it is MELDA8632659
  15. Again, this removes 32 bit version, so you might want to check if your legacy projects have any instances of FM8 before running this update.
  16. Klon vs 9 currently available klones:
  17. I like those a lot as well for similar reasons. I was surprised to find that Michael Gurley of dada uses the dual recs. His tone is not exactly what you think of when you think of that amp.
  18. You do get a lot of people complaining that the upgrade price to Komplete 13 is the same from Komplete 12 as it is from version 2, which came out around 20 years ago. Of course this argument ignores that the people who upgraded at various points along the way have benefitted from the upgrades they have paid for along the way. For me, the cost of upgrading individual Amplitube products is less than that of upgrading to Amplitube 5 Max. That's not something I'm overly happy with, but there's nothing special about being a MAX owner. What I don't understand is the obsession of upgrade pricing when their download policy is so clearly unacceptable.
  19. Well NI does have their annual Christmas freebie, which is pretty generous.
  20. This package goes to show how far IK has come in terms of modeling. The Mark III models that have been part of the package since version 3 are nearly useless. The Mark III in the MB collection on the other hand has some really good sounds in it.
  21. At this point most of us know the pattern. Flash sales through most of the year, group buy sometime during the year, mega sale during Christmas season. Plan according to your wants and needs.
  22. 20 years ago I would not have expected a sampled product to have this much realism for lead guitar. Now I am wondering how long until they have add ons to recreate various players' styles.
  23. I think it sounds as good as most of the Syntronik libraries. I would never have paid $50 for it, but it might see use. As you can expect, there are a lot of 80s -ish synth sounds. There are some really fake guitar sounds (keeping with the theme) as well as a couple of ratty trumpets and a sax in there as well. Getting back to the topic of IK annoyances, now I have to figure out why half of my Syntronik libraries show up in the Sampletank player but not Syntronik.
