I will say there is a plethora of EQ profiles for this guy (a literal truckload of songs over various genres)! Most are for master targets only though (only track targets are guitar focused), but it does make EQ Matching a lightweight task (it automatically adjusts the "Analyze this" to match "Analyze ideal" (or preset), and allows you to copy/paste/save between those two columns).

Thanks for this handy bite-sized chunk of info.  I generally don't do anything like this, but your concise mini-review was perfect to focus my hands-on self-exploration. 

Thanks for the heads-up.  Here's a link for others interested in the 17.04 beta changes. 

FWIW, I don't generally use controllers (e.g. CCs) as control surfaces for the DAW's functions. For the most part I use buttons, knobs, sliders, etc. to control synths (including soft synths w/in my DAW. However, earlier today I confirmed this [remote control CCs change the Solo on/off display but not the function itself] with my keyboard using CbB build 125. I just did another test (and confirmation) with a nanokontrol. 

I am reminded of a similar issue I had a few years ago with the inspector-based arpeggiator's Latch display v. the Latch function. IIRC there were other anomalies like that--CCs made the button's display toggle on and off, but not the button's function.

It's quicker if you have an account with them I think, should be instant.  If you do a guest/paypal only checkout I think it takes longer.

Thanks.  This might be it. Although I used to shop at my local Guitar Center, I didn't have an account.

Snagged it from Guitar Center!
Thank you.

How long did it take to get the license (assuming you got it)? I ask because I ordered mine around 5-6 hours ago and still no license.  Their Help Desk said it can take up to 24 to 48 hours.

My concern is whether existing projects using T-Racks 5 will load T-Racks 6 versions in their place. 

This is an excellent question. I had T-Racks 5 Max [not Max v.2] and got T-Racks 6 CS.  Based on that admittedly limited experience, the plug-ins scanned as different plug-ins.  That's all I know and defer to others with more knowledge of T-Racks 6.

It might not make any difference to most, but the original post is the upgrade. You can also just buy the full version for the same price:

Apologies if I was too subtle.  I assumed that people would read the link and realize it wasn't an upgrade but the full version.

Ha! Where is old Ed these days? All the old timers seem to have wandered off in a daze.  

I seem to recall seeing him in the forum fairly recently--possibly with a new song?  Did you look there?

WOW.  I can't remember the last time I used The Bandlab App.  As a non-online DAW user I forgot how to use Bandlab Studio, but I see that some DAW-based test tunes I did and tested the Publish to Bandlab feature with are there along with some tests from 2019-2021.

So is ASIO4ALL from the 1990s? or from 2000s?  Sorry, I am so old I can't remember dates; it just seems like it was around forever.  Maybe I have some old hard drives from when I used to have Sound Blaster Cards?  Maybe they will still work in some old PC I have collecting dust?

Are there new cool features coming for those of us who bought the top programs and lifetime updates?

Certainly, but they will also be for Sonar users who didn't  buy anything from the old Cakewalk company.

Gosh, darn! I have been holding out for a sliding scale discount based on how much Loyalists have paid over the decades to all the former makers of Cakewalk software since Cakewalk for MS-DOS!   🤪

Glad to hear KORG pointed you to the most related *.ins file they have.

This is my favorite theme. Did you ever update it for 2024.12?

Just a guess (I could be wrong): if it was updated, the date would be reflected on his webpage.

We're discussing internally bringing back our old legacy plugins, such as Z3TA+2. . .  but potentially in the form of a new synth engine . . . . Perhaps a brand new plugin with inspiration from the old one?

FEATURE REQUEST (which I hope is or could be under serious consideration wrt Z3TA+): Please bring back the ability to use the FX with external audio which was in Z3TA+ 1.5. It need not be a separate plug-in; a single plug-in that can handle audio input might serve the same purpose (depending on efficiencies). Thanks. 

This helps explains politics (among many other things).  What "we" think we see is incorrect when measured by standardized, time-tested objective tools.

This reminds me of a book I got as child. Based on the cover image, it was most likely Visual Illusions Their Causes, Characteristics and Applications by M. Luckiesh (published by Dover Press).

That’s nice to hear.  Unfortunately I am on an old Windows platform Win 7 and old audio interface not compatible with Windows 10. 

(1) I would never post my registration codes and serial numbers in a public forum.  You might want to rethink that.

(2) If you have your account name and password, you should be able to log in to the legacy site and re-download the SONAR X1 Producer files.  I just checked (from my account) and they are there. 

(3) If you don't have your account name / password, follow this advice:

If you check in the iLok Manager - looks like most of their plugins (unless there's been a recent update that changes this) will only authorize to  iLok USB (2,3), or iLok Cloud.

Note that, as shown, authorizing with iLok1 or directly on your computer is disabled.

Trying to get and use the 1176  caused all my other UAD to have the Blurry Image Authorization issue, too.  In 4 or 5 years of using iLok, UAD's new authorization scheme is the only one I have had these kinds of issues with. One-by-one I did all of the steps in the video Promidi linked, pausing and double-checking after each step until I couldn't go any further. 

The next step is to try to find the uninstall/reinstall video mentioned, but honestly my other iLoked products work and I am leaning towards just getting rid of them all and chalking it up to a learning experience.  It is unlikely that I will ever get the time spent back, so why waste even more time.

If anyone has other UAD plugins that still work, you might want to consider not downloading/updating them and/or getting the 1176.

UPDATE: Since the first steps in the uninstall/reinstall video were not useful, I decided to use Revo Uninstaller (which I should have used first!).  Next, I looked for any additional UAD Folders and renamed them (just in case I wanted to report what I had there to UA Support). Then I redownloaded and reran the latest UAD Connect software (for the third time).

After downloading the plug-ins (probably the four or fifth time today), I decided to give up by removing them using Cakewalk's VSTScan. But first I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to load the UAD test project.

To my surprise, I no longer got the Open UAD Connect pop-up. Then when I went to the FX Bin to open the plugs, they each opened to the blurry image and in about 1-2 seconds the image stabilized and one-by-one each plugin worked. (I didn't have to rescan using VSTScan.)

Lesson Learned: If at first you don't succeed, give up, get rid of the software using a tool like Revo Uninstaller, try starting over, and then maybe whatever got screwed up will have fixed itself.
