Orr, Bourque, and Bergeron for now.

ya, just like vsts ?. somebody must have ripped out the centerfolds. and assuming Geddy must have had at least one Alembic in there...

imagine some serious therapy was needed when they played each other ? try explaining baseball to your English friends, and then have them explain cricket... that should keep this thread on topic....

deets - Bass Culture: The John Entwistle Bass Collection apparently he collected basses like some collect vsts, believe they were auctioned off at some point after his death.

Is the new one page manual included?

@pwalpwal good one on Rainer, he left his mark... Di Lantin https://rainer.bandcamp.com/album/roll-back-the-years

ya, did occur to me ? but figured i was already beating a dead horse... Black Death...

talk about exponential escalation... Black Friday (everyone, thx to US retail) Black November https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/50785-stl-tones-black-november/ Black Autumn https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/50921-black-rooster-black-autumn-sale/ what's next? Black Hole say goodbye to your wallet...

sounds familiar. i hate "programming" drums but it's become a fairly productive option given the requirements for tracking space/gear/players/schedule/etc. There are some excellent/usable drum samples (BFD works the best here) and finding the MIDI features in CW to be best in class as loops/grooves don't work for me. VIs are good for blocking out string arrangements and layering in world/synth sounds to add interest/timbre to a project. struggling with horn sections atm. yep, same here when trying to emulate strings & frets. i can hack at keys a bit (hey, it's a percussion instrument...) but capturing a nuanced performance on a virtual instrument is always (mostly?) a 2 step process (notes then articulations when ur a hack). and that's only if you have usable sounds to begin with. a couple of the newer samples/libraries are making me reconsider the potential, but not there yet.

you sound like a guitar player. ? I have assumed audio interface driver settings/performance were the first order limiting factor, but no longer the case? given recent options for lower buffer settings (Presonus, Tascam, etc).

truth, and the same conclusion here based on currently available options. @Jim Roseberry wondering if you ever use or see a need for a DAW specific benchmark vs. one of the "standards" which are typically game/video-centric to assess thermal load vs core performance. (fwiw, my benchmark is courtesy of Acustica Audio ?.)

not sure about the target genre, but doubling the bass line with a bass VI is a classic old school approach to make it work on lo-fi systems. A Sansamp PSA-1 in parallel might work for something more modern and aggressive. i've tried the Nembrini vst but it sounds nothing like the original PSA-1 (which I have).

@Doug Rintoul not "for or against" any tool, that would be ridiculous and understood the intent to be self evident given the 'aid' in Lemonaid. the comment was wrt the AI part and speculating on the relationship between "creativity", "craft" and "art". musicianship has traditionally been associated with some specialized -skill- to create music (re the dictionary definitions). that may be changing with an emerging class of AI based tools. nothing wrong with that. but is it 'art'? AI is essentially an algorithm possibly derived from a seed set of relevant data with a bias towards a preferred result. It certainly makes it easier to get "better" results with minimal effort. but is it 'art'? the only aspect I might have an issue with is the marketing for this class of tools which come across as dismissing the need for "theory" "craft" "knowledge" "effort" "work", etc (ya, those YT ads). the vast majority of results reflect that imho and strike me as diminishing the richness of the collective musical legacy. yet less ye despair in the face of the impending singularity (re Ray Kurzweil ), we may take comfort in just how often humanity has managed to confound the experts. after all, Esperanza Spalding managed to beat out Justin Bieber, Drake, et al. for Best New Artist of the Year (2011 Grammys). ... so many rabbit holes, and so OT. pretentious discussions such as these are better had in drinking establishments with a firm closing time... see ya there.

that was Henry the VIII.

they moved to Kentucky in the USA (or just the guitar player?) https://www.npr.org/2022/10/26/1131004306/s-g-goodman-tiny-desk-concert

em... more of an observation than a point. the ongoing discussion (elsewhere) has been primarily wrt to the visual arts but can be (is) equally relevant to the audio arts. it's hardly new with quite a few rabbit holes to go down, but the lines between AI / artist are becoming less clear and the question (for some of us) is the potential impact on the "value" or "meaning" of "art". ya, not exactly a deal (same as quite a few other posts here ?) just happened to be on my radar this week.

this^ or... cancel it.

ah, the marketing... love the "AI" part. "mu·si·cian" noun a person who plays a musical instrument, especially as a profession, or is musically talented. - Oxford Languages (Google) someone who is skilled in playing music, usually as a job: - Cambridge Dictionary a person who composes, conducts, or performs music - Wikipedia 1. a person who makes music a profession, especially as a performer of music. 2. any person, whether professional or not, skilled in music. - Dictionary.com ... putting the infinite monkey theorem within reach given the latest advances in "AI", data science and computing power despite the math behind it having some interesting discussions lately wrt to DALL.E, etc., the potential/inevitable impact of "AI" on music and the definition of "art".

12 months after cancellation

TL:DR - we're all holograms i found an old Rigid tool calendar in my grandfather's garage with her on it. are we cousins?

we have one "purist" that will "accept" 4ms and is good with 2ms, but still prefers hw... we have an AI that allows for buffers as low as 4 samples, but keeping the rest of the wheels from flying off is still a bit dicey, still exploring the potential.

?? another mastering eq? mojo box? how many knobs does it have? (image not displayed in my original post thx to uBlock Origin > my somewhat clueless inquiry)

ya, same issue here > same solution. so frigging annoying when MS "knows:" what you want.

do you include sponsor decals with your builds? ? ... seriously though, your experience is greatly appreciated given the challenge of balancing performance expectations with the latest developments. latency has gotten pretty dang good for live tracking, but thermals for plugin heavy projects is rather daunting. we'd have to go through the side of a case or through the wall with the way things stand today. trying to hold out for potentially reduced thermals with upcoming Intel releases citing successive increases in performance per watt. and assuming that actually translates to reduced TDP under load (if I understand it correctly)... thanks for sharing.

ya, i feel ya. the challenge is getting a keyboard/prv to play a sample that sounds like what your brain already knows how to do. kinda like having to cook dinner with only the tools in your garage. i never bothered with samples based on the sound alone, but they've gotten way better, more diverse and authentic (=usable) and the enhanced implementation of articulations such as you can find here with CW are key to emulating a "performance". the challenge with something like Kontakt imho is sorting out the UI (it can be done), getting setup in CW (there are good tutorials), efficient note entry (keyboard players have it easy, but there are pitch to midi options) and learning how to edit/map articulations in the PRV to give the samples interest. if you want easy, just drop some loops in there. if you want something original, it's gonna take time to grind through it, kind like starting out playing any instrument. the fact that it's even an option is something to consider.
