In trying to find out why there are also updates to the non-new, non-reworked Instruments, I stumbled onto this: https://support.arturia.com/hc/en-us/articles/5392397216284-Program-Changes-in-V-Collection-9 Additional info: The update release notes for the ones I checked, now say: Startup preset can now be customized from the hamburger menu User preset banks picture can now be customized This is not new in Pigments (I previously added images to my own and third party banks)

So, I listened to the demo tunes for first set of 4 "packs" and had "it" create 4 more using the same prompt (unchanged). Then I started listening to the wav files that went into making the demo tunes for some of the packs. I thought of how I could try to reword the prompt to get closer to what I want (such as adding "using high quality non-orchestral sounding audio samples"), but I decided (1) I don't want to continue trying to train the software by using the thumb up/thumb down buttons for each set of 4 sample packs based on the demo tunes, (2) I sincerely believe it would take far less time to create my own layers to combine without sounding like garbage, (3) I am starting to get a nasty headache from listening to the demo tunes and the wav files trying to figure out how to reword my request to try to come closer to what I thought I was describing. For me it might be more interesting (1) if the "try to read my mind based on the words I used" game came closer to what I had in mind (and have done with my own) and (2) if I had more time and interest to try to train the software. As for being competitive, I suspect this kind of thing can become more "cost effective" that using human to create content.

Hmmmm. I tried "one to two minute slowly evolving, pleasantly mellow, ambient textures." I am not trying to figure out what words I can use to get what I was looking for. I had in mind sounds that were from one to two minutes in length each where a single sound slowly evolved in harmonic content (i.e., texturally) from the start of the sound to the end. I think I understand how results I got are related to some of the key words I used but are not what I thought I was asking for.

As far as I can tell, the Cherry Audio Instruments and Ignite are the same as the April Bundle. My bad. See below. Evidently it the current one is the same as the October Humble Bundle. Based on my records, the Cherry Audio Instruments and Voltage Modular Ignite in the current Music Creators Power Pack (Holiday Encore) are the same ones offered in the Music Creators Power Pack that was offered April 2023.

Thanks for confirming that despite nasty tinnitus and a huge mid- to high-range hearing loss, my septuagenarian ears are good for something! ? Thanks to your friend for asking and to you for sharing her method.

Glad you were able to figure out the solution. Why do you want to see all plugins at the same time? Is it to choose what to insert somewhere within Cakewalk? Or is it to take an inventory of your plugins? If the latter, there is a tool available called VST Inventory (part of scook's CbB Tools).

I can't diagnose your issue, but I was playing with Surge XT a day or two ago and have some preliminary questions that might or might not be relevant: (1) Does Surge XT show up if you select the Instruments tab in the Browser? (2) Do you have the Surge XT Effects plug-ins installed (dll and/or vst3)? (3) Do the other instruments we see listed under Favorites in the Plug-in Manager show up in the Browser when you selected Instruments (instead of Audio FX)?

If by "this" you mean the animated video scook posted a couple of years ago, I see it.

Are you saying that you have had keyboards and mouses that never went bad? Two to three years seems typical to me, although it's really how you use them as well as how well they were made. As for the possible coincidence factor, I once had a pocket watch (1970s) that died after about 2 years. Unfortunately for me the warranty only last 2 years. But as long as I had gone back to the original store to see if it was covered, I got another one--same model because I liked it. Wouldn't you know it, a week or two after the two-year mark, that one also died!!! Some coincidence, eh? ?

WOW! I pull out Surge XT once in a while, but haven't done a sufficient deep dive to be able to use is as efficiently as I'd like. JMO: based on all those improvements it looks like a real testimony to the value of a vibrant and highly competent community. I don't think I have ever looked at Surge's use of formulas as modulators, but it has now piqued my curiosity. Thanks for mentioning the update and for including the changelog.

Thanks for posting product details.

Assuming it is a single snippet from a single word, I am not sure how extensive the editing was. It could be truncated at the end with some processing to make a not-so-abrupt release and a short adjustment to the start of the sample; my ear didn't detect a looped section of the sample, but maybe she did that for a few cycles.

Very nice post from his wife. R.I.P.

Looks yummy: (I hope "yummy" isn't slang for a dirty word in British.) Enjoyed the ear worm; made me feel groovy. And congrats on your 4,000th post. Anyone who goes from Zappa's Flakes to a Groovy song by a group called Fluke (FLK = another connection!) deserves the honor of a milestone post.

I watched about 20-30 seconds of the video I linked; not sure if used Omnisphere (or any other purchased samples). Seems to me (1) she is the singer, and (2) she chopped it herself. But I am just guessing based on limited info.

PS: Maya Clars - Diagonal of Love (Official Audio) Why not contact the artist and ask her? Also, she has a video channel with some videos that seem to talk about her production techniques. Not sure if she has one that describes the song you are interested in or if she uses the technique in any of the production oriented videos she has posted. Who knows--maybe she would be inspired to do another video if you ask.

To my ear it sounds like a snippet of the singer's vocal was isolated and played in some way, such as by using a keyboard.

Bring back the simplicity of I-IV-V (and minor variations)

Connections: (1) Soup mixes are often flavored with flakes (parsley flakes, etc.). (2) Flakes references Bob Dylan. (3) Flakes includes an impersonation of Dylan (by multi-instrumentalist / vocalist Robert Martin, IIRC)

In an interview with Dan Dather from a few years ago, Lee references his hobbies. Also, his brand new 4-part documentary series touches on his hobbies as well as those of the four bass players he asks, "Are Bass Players Human, Too?"

There have been several discussions about this in the forum. Due to issues with Windows 11, Cakewalk by Bandlab no longer lists it as a device. Sorry, I never used it, don't remember the name of it, and therefore can't do a search for the other discussions. UPDATE: Pure guesswork, but I found one of the threads: NOTE: The second post there references this post: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/65864-closed-cakewalk-202309-early-access-updated-to-build-62/page/4/#comment-469452

Thanks for providing the steps. You saved me a lot of time searching for them.
