  1. I know I got something around 100 things (all the little AT stuff adds up) with multiple buy ins. So that would require a give away every week. ? Would have been nice is those of us that actually bought Tonex got the boogie give away that was directed towards those that hadn't made the jump yet. And I'm betting some bitterness is also coming with the ToneX pedal that is around the corner (which will include a software seat), without additional discounts for those of us that got it with another purchase just after release.
  2. He does as he mentioned the temptation of the upgrade price recenlty to get the ALL bundle.
  3. Even better deal than the release price special (which was already reasonable). Just be aware you will want an IR loader with cab impulse responses.
  4. Proximity is also cool...if they were not so resource hungry I'd use them more ofen than I do. Both can be unique tools.
  5. Likely notification of products removed from support. ?
  6. If you don't have WUP, I'd say any change has a risk factor. I personally did the uninstall for all WAVES shells (in the command center application) and got rid of everything not v14 as I found I was willing to get rid of all waves plugins other than ClarityVx. The others were simply a liablity and time waster on scans. But I only took that risk knowing that CalarityVx was under support coverage and if the others stopped working I wouldn't flip out or even consider buying WUP to resolve it.
  7. I'm curious on the CPU hit. The Mastering EQ is on the high side. This one says it comes with a mono mix version too... so wondering if it is really usable across all tracks and then the mix bus (without a really nice machine)
  8. A finanical decision. TONEX isn't setup right now to offer a "store" to purchase adons. Peter mentioned before that the gear in MAX (such as his old Dumble) will not be available to purchase as a pack/ala carte. So they would need to change the model or simply add to to MAX to encourage people to go "all in" for the whole TONEX package. AT5 is easy monitization. Joe B models for "x" dollars. TONEX is the tech I hope they use, but at the same time have no interest in "Max" prices though I do love the TONEX stuff.
  9. This, the word modeling isn't what I was hoping for in the description - profile with ToneX is what we want. Perhpas as an add-on - or better still - free tone profiles. Yes, they did profile a dumble he used to own (in the max collection) - but 1) he got rid of it 2) he has a lot more in the stable to offer. ?
  10. I'm creating a thread for this one as it seems the original, I used as a platform to mod, hasn't been updated for use in the current version of Cakewalk. You can see the post about where the design came from and a note about some of the modifications, I made to it. I call some of my mods "Pro" because it removes text from the interface that a novice with cakewalk would find helpful. However, those of us that have used the interface for a decade know what the Pro-Channel is, FX bin, Bus Sends, etc so I got rid of that text to clean up the look/distraction. At this point, this interface has become what I think of Cakewalk looking like as I use it so much. When I do a new install, everything looks wrong until I get this transferred over to the computer and therefore, this thread also serves as a "go to" when I need to find the theme to download. ? A few screen captures to give the general idea: AFUI 1.5 - BW Pro_2021-12.sth
  11. This is one to test drive before committing for sure as it isn't a typical fender. I tried and passed on it as I didn't feel like it offered something I personally needed. I do have and use 8 other Nembrini guitar amps, this one just wasn't a standout for me above others.
  12. My primary instrument is the guitar and I'm opening TONEX more than any other amp sim (and I own AT5 - pretty much everything, Plugin Alliance - everything other than the older ENGL and Mesa, Nembrini (most of them), Electrum, Melda Trubo Amp, etc) I do use 3rd party IRs with it (sounds better if you add them in something like Melda's Convolution or Cab plugin) instead of internal. The feel/response and realism I find to be more authentic and dynamic than the alternatives. However, you don't have much natural adjustablity range as the controls (gain, tone, etc) do not reflect what the actual amp does. It is also low on the CPU compared to other options on the market and that helps become a go-to as well. Usually most modelers sound like some ideal version of an amp - there is something about the rawness of the way the resulting profile comes out that just feels more "real" on some level. While it still doesn't respond to volume and tone pot adjustments like the best amps do, I find it does get closer. Many of these differences come down to feel and interaction so some of the elements wouldn't really matter to a non-guitarist. I haven't used many guitar sample packs or synths of electric guitar - in my hands they just don't convince me, but I've heard others get pretty good results. It is also one of the only platforms that seems to keep giving us more sounds and tone - so it becomes as discovery and sound exploration, like trying out a new amp every day.
  13. Audiority did. Plugin Alliance has though not as much as I'd prefer. Boz did for mongoose 2, pan knob 2 Those are off the top of my head...so not unheard of.
  14. Which I'm 100% sure will cost more than I paid for v1 just for an upgrade. I just want a free update with resizable UI.
  15. Most people put the track one either first in the chain on every track or last in the chain on every track. Then put the bus version on your master bus. After that switch between console types on the master bus (assuming you have all the tracks grouped to the same one) to see which flavor you want for your production. Unless you have it on all tracks and have more than a track or two, the effects are going to be super subtle. Each option more or less provides little variations in EQ curves/Saturation/Stereo imaging. It isn't meant to dramatically alter the sound/mix.
  16. I'm partially in that camp, but there are many that I've removed from my computers over 20+ years. Both WAVES and things that have become obsolete sonically.
  17. Plugins get replaced by other plugins. Cakewalk has been the only software constant in my music production over the last 20 years.
  18. True, but this is really only a saturation plugin (for lack of better term), where CLA Mixhub is basically a full channel strip The equivilant would be more like running this plus WAVES E channel on all your tracks.
  19. It is pretty low. Fairly old plugin at this point (not suggesting that is a bad thing) it just isn't like some modern CPU hogs.
  20. I always prefered the WAVES one (it does let you setup a bus and then easily switch between the options and make adjustments without having to do a track by track). But liked the Cakewalk idea of having it in the pro-channel with the abilty to set it up across tracks pretty quickly and no seat limits.
  21. Use voucher code during checkout! Flash Sale offer expires 11:59 pm PST on January 20, 2022. AMEK-2999 Makes it $30
  22. It has been $10 a few times and also a "free with any purchase" at plugin boutique (which made it ~$5) But other than that, yes a high quality delay for a reasonable price. However, I think they need to update the presets to include more standard affair instead of mostly wacked out esoteric ideas.
  23. Be sure to check what you already own. The lowest tier (and many in the higher tiers) were part of a dirt cheap bundle thing a few years ago I believe.
  24. I'll wait. Don't see the need for a ~2GIG download for what is likley a new product that will have a high into price that won't make logical sense to jump on. And in the T-Rack environment all that means is one more annoying piece of gear that shows I that I can't use on a project. Hard Pass (for now) ?
