I’m not knowledgeable enough in the nuances of lap steel playing. All I know is that to my ears this sounds like a terrific song, and well played.

Incredible. Right up my alley, I’d been up banging my wotsits to this back in the day. Every element is brilliant- musicianship, singing, production. Wow 😮

What a pleasure to hear! Fabulous professional track, beautifully played and produced. Incredible! I’ve been away from these forums for a long time - I’d love to get involved again and post a song or two of my own.

Yep, that’s my take on it too. The NI offering is half price currently too. Thanks!

I thought for this price, can’t go wrong. Thought I’d listen to some demos first though - maybe I’m spoiled by my Orange Tree nylon guitar samples, but I just didn’t think the Ujam one sounded very good by comparison. And for these sort of auto-accompaniment type plugins I prefer the sound of NI’s Session Guitarist picked nylon. Others may disagree!

The pro version is on sale at the moment for $29 - I’ve had the free version for years and it’s all I need to be honest. The other useful free resource is The loudness penalty - I use it all the time

+1 - no monitoring add on. I use AKG702 headphones and a while ago found this flat EQ correction curve I think it works really well, even using included Studio One's Pro EQ plugin, then inserting it on the listen bus. That said, I would like the full Sonarworks to measure my speakers' response etc, so I downloaded the 21 day free trial ahead of the anticipated sale. It hasn't gone smoothly - the current version causes a CPU overload in my Studio One project as soon as I insert it, so their tech suggested I use the previous version - that advice in itself inspired no confidence in me, but I tried it - same result. It's a shame - hopefully it can get sorted out.

Yuk - out of nosiness I tried to use the link Larry posted but got the message my password had expired…can’t for the life of me remember it. ?

The jump in results from 8 to 11 is very noticeable, and makes me happy. Not sure if I’d feel the need to update every year though

Just to confirm - it all works, I’ve purchased and successfully installed and authorised. So you really can get an upgrade from 8 to 11, for the same price as from 9 or 10 to 11…and, they gave me an extra 5% off for signing up to emails during the checkout process ?

Would be great to see EZBass on sale. I have enough alternatives not to be tempted by it at full price, but I know it’d be fun in conjunction with EZ Drummer 3 and EZ Keys 2.

The above link is now showing at a reduced price - £141.75, which is £47.25 off. Based on the fact I have an email from IZotope saying I’m good with Ozone 8, I will push the button soon I guess…I just don’t understand why they don’t advertise this being available as an upgrade unless you have 9 or 10.

Lots of other stuff has been added to the NI sale as of today too - thanks for posting!

I contacted IZotope support and asked if there was an upgrade path from my copy of Ozone Advanced 8 to Ozone Advanced 11. They pointed me to the following link which is an upgrade path from version 9 or 10, but said I’d be able to use it for my version 8 as well. I thought that was decent of them. Even better though, they said “Please note these items will be put on further discount for the holiday season soon ?” I think that’s really good of them to basically say “don’t buy right now”. Kudos to IZotope/NI https://www.izotope.com/en/products/upgrade-lp/30647

I’m looking at the crossgrade option to Cubase 13 Pro from Studio One Pro…at present there’s a price of £308 on Steinberg’s site, but it says “coming soon”. When available, will resellers (which ones?) be a better option or do you have to buy direct?
