Thanks for the heads up, Zinc! I don't check for updates often enough. Went in and found there were updates for Keyscape and Trillian as well, including a new patch for Keyscape: Wing Upright Saloon.

I was once convinced that I'd gone on a blind date with one. Turned out she was just Scottish.

It does not overwrite previous versions, so any projects with v3 will be fine.

Until the inevitable Dan Worrall demonstration. If you can resist that, you are a better man than me, Tom.

For me, it does. Although I assume you meant "pretty", not "petty". The former refers to its brilliantly ergonomic user interface that lets you dial in EQ very quickly. The latter means, um, something more snarky?

The sad thing is each previous iteration of Captcha was eventually circumvented by AI. Alan Turing imagined a scenario in which humans needed to determine whether they were talking to another human or to a computer. He didn't imagine that someday we'd have to routinely prove we're human - to a computer.

I know what you're thinking...what's possibly left to add? Doesn't Pro-Q3 already do everything you'd expect from an equalizer? Well, I thought the same thing when the two previous versions came along, and now wonder how I could be so naive as to think the original Pro-Q was the do-all/end-all EQ back in 2010. But each new feature set added more than just convenience, they changed the way I use EQ. Pro-Q4 looks to be a game-changer.

I'll say nothing of the plot because you'll enjoy it more if you don't know what's coming. Except to note that the protagonist is a music producer, a detail I missed at first but becomes significant in retrospect. We're not told what her specific job is, only that she works in a studio. In the opening scene, she's listening to music and has a DAW open. Then the software insists that it needs to be updated, which starts us down the rabbit hole. Enjoy.

I've seen enough spy movies and police procedurals to know all you have to do is stare intensely at the screen and say "Enhance!".

So what happens when those kids grow up? You get this... Saw these guys live last year after following them on YT since they were kids. Yeh, they did this song and nailed it. Now in their 20's, they just kill it in a live show - no backing tracks, just 5 good singers.

And another father-daughters band. I like these folks because they actually play 100% live, no post-production sweetening.

Meanwhile, the spirit of Jeff Beck lives on...in a teenage girl? Yup, girls can play guitar, too. I think Grace is around 18 years old. The way she builds her solo shows a maturity beyond her years. Also, remember when Johnny Carson used to regularly give the house band a slot in the show? Nowadays, you have to be in the studio audience to see stuff like this.

Seeing young people playing rock 'n roll gives me hope for the future. It's reassuring that not every teenager dreams of being a gold-toothed rapper. btw, the drummer in this video is 11 years old.

Already my favorite delay. What a treat to get two more algorithms! For free, no less.

To be fair, almost everything does. My first experience playing a Steinway was when I was hired to do background "music" at a high-end wedding in a private club. During that period of my musical life I'd been taking a bunch of those kinds of gigs because it was ridiculously easy money that required no moving of gear, no setup, just walk in, diddle about for a couple hours and walk out. But I didn't really like them. Nobody listened, and the only comments I got were to "turn it down". It's a frickin' acoustic piano. No volume control, except to play very lightly. The quality of those pianos was atrocious and they were usually out of tune. At one hoity-toity "athletic" club the piano sounded especially bad. I peeked under the lid and discovered the insides had been stuffed with flattened cardboard boxes! So when I sat down at that Steinway and began to play, I was floored by how responsive it was. Whereas many pianos when played very softly produced no sound at all, the Steinway delivered a beautiful soft tone. But bang on it aggressively and it roared to life. I didn't know any acoustic instrument could have such a broad dynamic range.
