@Glenn Stanton thx, thought your initial reference was to a generic utility.

temps? fwiw, I have Speccy running and using a m/b utility for system fans, just thinking an aggregate view would be nice. might look into hacking something if it starts bugging me a bit more ?

no direct experience yet, but have concerns with the increase in TDP. Proper cooling has become a significant factor for system configuration, reliability and ambient noise. upgrade plans are on pause atm. a system dashboard/utility tracking cpu load and clock speed vs temps with integrated fan performance would be really helpful.

or... you could change the eq settings on your phone's music app.

PAs manic pricing and non-stop vouchers of the day are making Forever29 look pretty lame, unless you just can't keep up with the specials..

TDP comparisons in Base and Turbo modes? IIRC, some improvement was expected, but might be the next next gen.

pretty much of the same mindset for the same reasons, plus a dodgy card experience and they "upgraded" a number of plugins when they came out with Unison and relegated the ones I had to "legacy" status which = not eligible for Spark, unless I want to buy them again for a bit more than usable alternatives... Overloud GEMs for LA2A/LA3A? Their LA3A might be the best out there for sounding like hardware (given UADs main claim) the Black Rooster versions get used here as well.

arrangement, complementary eq and +1 for saturation depending on the genre

+1 ^^^ if ya think about it, what you -sound- like is the only reason for being up there in the first place. why trust your time/money/vibe/reputation to some surly sound monkey? fwiw, we always paid our sound person first with a minimum (i.e. for charity events) and as an equal partner. these were original bands, so pretty much a given from our POV. we had our own PA which was critical for both sound and cash flow and hired it out to other bands with our sound person (or one of us) to run it. this turned out to be a real bonus for networking when getting started and led to referrals for gigs, ins at venues, etc. every so often we would run into issues with the house guy at a venue and had to sort out if they got paid or not, or were just jerky about their tiny fiefdom. a little diplomacy and professionalism went a long way. there's some pretty great tools out there for FOH. Bluetooth mixers on iPads and digital fx have lowered the cost and raised the bar for results. so ya, get a real pro if you can.

the web site is a bit rough, but despite the claim of "Programmed for Native Instruments FREE Kontakt 6 Player" the FAQs are a bit clearer. "Do I have to buy Kontakt 6 player? Yes, you need a Kontakt license to use it properly. If you don't own a Kontakt license the free DS Drum demo will lock up after 15 minutes of use. You can download the FREE Kontakt player here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-6-player/free-download/ The Full version of the DS Drum library will come with a Kontakt license" ... noting the bog oak snare, a rather unique dw offering, always wanted to hear that on it's own

Mutt Lange!

this is doing something good with shorter decay times.

? woulda paid to see that (assuming it was originals) and so -not- a coyote?

the forearm sweat band was a nice touch. genuine Warwick accessory?

i play guitar....

Not seeing a problem here.

perhaps you should give Reaper a go.

@jgarland vst3 version loads here

strikes me as a bit of an overly complicated mess. my understanding is take lanes are designed for capturing/speed comping performances. not ,mixing. what would one expect Mix Recall to do? might also consider the potential for increasing CPU load per project. fwiw, the way CW implements take lanes is a feature that separates it from other DAWs for me. I'd be a bit concerned about adding options that can easily and more appropriately be managed elsewhere. simpler = a more robust DAW = a more productive tool than a few extra ways to do something = better ime.

And the odds are 50/50.

and deselecting the option "Notes | Show Durations in Drum Grid" in the PRV for drum map editing. fwiw, never run across a use case for entering/hand editing super short midi notes.

ime, pretty dependent on the singer and the desired impact for the LV. fwiw, tend to run with gain adjustment first if needed, then comp settings for effect and ride volume adjustments in the mix.

RO-GOLD appears to be a subset of the RO-140, so perhaps they're taking a cue from Softube by releasing a stripped down version to capture a bit of mindshare in the frenzied waters of VST feeding grounds. +1 for the VPRE-73, gets used on a regular basis here and the VLA-2A MKII . Their VLA-3A is a good UAD alt, although the O/L GEM might be a bit more "3D". Their Pultecs are well regarded but don't have them (yet).

Dan Worrall jumps right on it...

I take it there are no Acustica Audio users in this thread, who seem to take a perverse delight in applying their expertise in convolution technology to their UIs. Authentic emulations of actual gear brilliantly disguised with artistic re-interpretations of functional states. And manuals to go with it. ... had the same issues with the FX/PDC buttons but sorted it out pretty quickly with a little RTFM. However, visual state indications were not "intuitive" for me and with a bit of forum exploration discovered the Theme Editor, which imho is an underrated but well appreciated solution here. Improved productivity with zero impact on core functionality/reliability and another first world problem solved.
