SInce you own Xenoverb - what is the authorization scheme like (can you install it on 2-3 machines that you personally own?) Excalibur isn't really a reverb plugin though, is it? Similarity is the price.

What size LCD monitor are you guys using?
Brian Walton replied to Christian Jones's topic in The Coffee House
Two 24s matching pair with thin bezels at 1920x1080 (4K makes things too small). Right at about arms length away. At this distance woudl not want 27s. 22s work. Would not want different size ones or a single large one. Also be mindful of monitor placement, you get beyond a couple 24s side by side and the monitors are going to be coming at your from the side! To cretique Neel's setup, the monitors are too low to be ergonomic and the speakers are well above ear level, neither is ideal. However the general concept he has is solid. -
I saw this also and thought it was odd since the purchase options within T-Rack seems to suggest things like $99.99 or 100 points.

Those having trouble getting the points. From the OP: Just log into your user area to receive these automatically (this is a specific area on the website)

non-commercial grade internet use has gone up dramatically. Not sure on this particular issue, I'm guessing it has to do with the fact so many people are working from home (and thus also free to download things they normally might not do at work).
-
Took a number of attempts on my end to get it to work (not a problem I ran into with Labs previously). Downloaded and installed on two machines, worththe trouble.

ilok is a scam, period. In my opinion. , it provides no value. I do not accept any notion that a software company needs to require paying customers to a single seat/authorization. It is a fair assumption that you have never persoanlly had an ilock dongle fail. I've seen it happen a number of times.
-
It isn't worth an extra $35-50 that the customer has to pay. Not to mention giving up the USB port for absoludlty no reason other than the manufature treating the buyer like a potential crimianl. My fairly expensive laptop has 3 usb ports. Audio Interface External HD or USB for Expanded storage as who would dare use anyting other than an SSD in a laptop these days? MIDI Controller/Keyboard Mouse Ilok USB to autorizae WAVE S or other system that requires non-ilok method qwerty keyboard And it isn't just about replacing a computer, many of us own more than one "real use" computers. I personally have at least 3 or more.

Did you at least buy the plug-in or did you just cripple a perfectly harmless act of freedom of speech? It said nothing about Corona virus. Pandemic being a general term and he mentioned it as a cure for problematic headphone mixes and it does that admirably.
-
It is both a play on words (it is called a Pan knob), and it also relates to curing problems with headphone mixes, which it actually does without any question . It is "smarter" than you are giving him credit for.

more unlikley here. The downloader incluseds your email address in the folder structure.
-
+1 to everything I"ve got mongoose and boz's pan knob. plus the Sidewidner CM plugin (and I'd also add in izotopes free Imager 2) and MSW2 just won't see any use from me. Nebula on the other hand can be fun.
-
I think I was aware of Metic Halo (what I tried was dramactially overpriced and not great) Xils - I have the computer music version of the modular synth and it thankfully doesnt' have that limitaiton. Zynapitq I'll just stay clear of. ? All 3 companies pricing structures suggest they are no "in tune" with the current music production environment. All overpriced and limited liscencing. (My opinion)
-
Isotope is very good about this, thus why I was shocked a product under the umbrella...the Phoenix verb only has one single install at a time. It is the only ilok software manager plug-in I have that only grants a single authorization.
-
The Tube Tape Echo s sell for under a grand used on ebay (and the seller then gets hit with paypal/ebay fees on top of covering the shipping). 15% isn't anywhere in the ballbark for hoping to make your money back.
-
Note this is only for one single authorization. Puts this product on a short list of super lame authorization schemes right along side WAVES. That said it does sound good.

Native Instruments is giving Analog Dreams away for free
Brian Walton replied to Amicus717's topic in Deals
+1 I thought this was already free as well. (edit: confirmed it is much larger pack) -
There are multiple considersations. Unless you using a hub with an external power supply, many USB outs do not have the power to adequately power a whole mess of things. It will depend on the power draw of the collective. Using a hub also increases the chances any given device will fail to be recognized or work properly.
-
This, plus the number of machine install limitations. I have heard of iloks dongles breaking though and major downtime to get a replacement. They also take up a USB port and on many computers this is a huge concern. Interface, mouse, keyboard, external drive, ilok. Is way more ports than most laptops have these days, etc.
-
ugh....I was hoping it was izotope's typical authorization method. Now I have to debate if this is worth dealing with the ilok limitations.
-
Perhaps in overall concept (simple mastering processing). But in my mind IK's brings more areas of the mastering process to the table. Slate is basically focused on the Compression and Limiting aspects along with transient shaping. While this is also at the core of IK's ONE, the space, EQ, and analog pieces add up to "more" in my mind.

Yes. I setup a mic and played a track of a friend playing acoustic. The system did a horrible job of translating his playing, so I setup a mic on my desk and literally created a click track of myself playing quarter notes of my finger hitting the hard table. Thus the time will fluctuate some, but will be quarter notes within a reasonable BPM of each other. That result you see is Melodyne/Cakewalk's result (i.e. the new timeline it created). You can see the 76.67 BPM listed (it was the stock 120 before I dropped the track onto the top of the timeline.

They send you an email with the serial after the process is followed. That serial you have to put in the authrization manager on your computer. Plugin is very usable and easy. I wouldn't use it on most things as the "only" mastering plugin , though it has all the primary functions. I'd use it in combo (i.e. use something else to fine tune EQ) and this for the broad strokes there, etc. I liked results I was getting after just a couple of minutes, and that is always rewarding.
