Thanks for posting. I picked up the Fender 2 collection and like that.

I use some for live work for ambient music. There is a delay or reverb that has a diffuse setting that I like to use with loopers, but I've replaced that with Blackhole.

Wow, I don't keep up to date so I wasn't aware of that. That's even worse. I have compressors, channel strips, exciters, and EQs and they all sounded good when I bought them so I'm not concerned with updating them. Synths and amp sims and Cakewalk I keep up to date.

I like the sound of Waves plugins, but I don't like their licensing. I have a laptop and try to keep it configured like my DAW and Waves doesn't let you have two copies, you can put the license on a usb drive, but that's a hassle so for the plugins I like I've bought two copies. I replaced the HD/SSD on both systems and I unlicensed various plugins before swapping out drives and then relicensed them. I didn't have any problems.

OB-Xd is nice. It's based on the Oberheim OB-X. https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/

Just picked this up. I've only had a chance to run through some presets, but it sounds good.

If you think pushing the amp caused the problem I would look at the output tubes not the preamp tubes. Try replacing the 6L6s. I use attenuators on all my amps and haven't had any problems. I buy tubes from a number of places - https://www.tubesandmore.com/ comes to mind.

I use the reverbs that come with the amp sims and I also use PSP's Springbox if I'm going for a spring reverb with a heavier mix and I like Eventide's Blackhole for ambient things and there are various reverbs I use in Reaktor.

It depends on the mixer. I use a mixer that has 4 buses (2 stereo buses) and they can be routed to various outputs - so the output from the AIF gets routed to the monitors, but not back to the AIF. Just an FYI.

You said you checked the event viewer, did you check the track inspector as well?

The only thing I can think of is that you have a controller setting the volume to zero. Be aware that some controller information in Alchemy is global, you may change a controller in one patch and it will effect another patch - yikes! Bit me. That doesn't explain why patches change. I know it's not much help, but Alchemy works fine with the latest cbb and platinum on win 7 and it's been working fine for me on win 10.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not aware of ASIO drivers for Realtek HW. The ASIO4ALL isn't really ASIO. You want ASIO drivers written for your HW, not something generic. If you're concerned with latency you'll want to get an external device. My DAW is a tower, but I also use a laptop with a Roland Quad-Capture. IIRC it has a latency around 10 - 12 ms and the clock speed is nothing special - 2 to 2.9 ghz.

Yeah, I have my eye on that.

I think the cab sim is the current weak spot in amp sims. IRs don't react to dynamics so your playing dynamics can't control speaker break up. At this point the amp sims seem to respond to playing dynamics, now if they work on the cabs ...

Yes, I think eight multi segment envelopes are available per part. The arp is separate. https://support.spectrasonics.net/manual/Omnisphere/edit_page/envelopes/page05.html The link takes you to the online manual. To the left of the page there is a link to the arp.

That's a little disappointing, but I plan to upgrade anyway. I was happy to see they have an upgrade path from the full version TH-3 ($59 US).

I watched it earlier in the week, two thumbs up. If anyone has FireTV it should be on the PBS app for a while.

I use it to write songs and record for my own amusement. I also use it when practicing guitar - the amp sims I use don't allow you to use other vsts so I usually play through them hosted in CbB.
