So I just spent the morning going through some Jarreau and it is just the best. The problem (if you can call it that) is I am listening at the Rhodes and cannot unhear it know ???? I wonder if it was used on “Save Me”? I think Omartian was on that and the incredible riffed on that. Not Like This is pure butter. It is so heartbreaking to have lost such a vocalist and one of a kind artist in Al Jarreau and it is projects like The Famous E Piano that help preserve not only that musical legacy but allows all of us to experience it through the library.

Love this! Thanks Fleer for sharing, it inspires me even more to read these stories, as you realize each not you are playing contains this rich history inside of it.

It was so much fun discovering these libraries, especially LIVE, Johnny Cash even showed up for a little cameo ;^) No, just kidding, I think it was my black shirt and that Telecaster that pushed me over the edge.

I am looking forward to sharing some of my latest adventures with @gregjazz Orange Tree Samples, along with @AudioBrewers latest library Tangent Drum. I will also catch up on the latest update to Pianoteq 7. 4:00 PM EST

Just a reminder, the latest episode goes live in about 30 minutes. It would be great to see some more friendly faces ;^)

Just got up to speed with Melodyne 5, thanks to Every Plugin!

Yan, All of my livestreams happen in the Eastern Time Zone. I must have omitted it today, as it would definitely be something I would specify. I have many who are watching in Europe, Spain, etc.. so I know the afternoon streams run late for everyone there, but I am so thankful for the support. All the best!

So this livestream was one for the books. Sorry for all of the technical issues, but I was able to get things going and it was a crazy ride for sure. I have updated the link above for the livestream replay. Thanks as always for the support.

As usual I am turning off the GPS and taking a journey into the latest soundworld from Spitfire Audio, ALBION SOLSTICE.

Worth a shot ? https://wn.nr/rbX2mr

Thanks Larry, I just posted the link in the video description. https://bit.ly/PlugInBoutique_Pripyat_Piano

Funny thing! During the video you can sometimes hear the Cakewalk newsgroup notification alert!!!!! ?

No worries, for those not able to sign in, just leave a comment on the video.

Fleer, I also purchased this earlier but it seems that that they did some updates and moved to using the Pulse Downloader. Send an email to support to see if they can set you up with a new code, that is what they did for me. All the best!

So you need to watch the video and register if you can using the link in the description. You can also leave a comment and I will pick 5 winners on Friday. Best of luck!

I just received an email from the developer and he has given me 5 Download Codes to giveaway for the Pripyat Piano.

I have been wanting to cover this piano library for some time and today is the day. it was recorded during 20 trips over a seven year time period going into the town of Pripyat which was the closest town to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It is on special now for $29 (reg. $199). I will also be covering the Nocturne Sounds Baby Grand Piano and Flintpope's Enhanced Piano. The livestream was a very moving for me so much that the person in the thumbnail below did not have a clue what he would be experiencing. So grateful for these opportunities. Replay here:

I had my time zones mixed up so I only caught the last few minutes or so during the premiere.

Its coming down as we speak. A little nervous and excited at the same time as this one is a little strange to say the least. ;^) More to come!

I just published some details on my site here: https://wp.me/p6Mqqs-Do Looks like a really interesting plugin and the initial cost of entry is very generous. At the bottom of my press release it seems that United Plugins has partnered with Melda Productions in regards to their licensing protocol as well as United Plugins partnering with them to offer their products as well.

Happy Father's Day! I thought I would share today's livestream with all of you. I am going to be taking a look at Soniccouture's Hammersmith Pro Steinway D piano library. There are times they have FREE licenses for their Light version that features the MID Mic perspective.

Yes, Windows only for now. This is sort of like starting at the ground floor of a new application which is very exciting as the more testers and input, the potential for more features. It looks like from the website there are some really interesting features still to come. The retrospective MIDI Recorder really caught my eye, as up to this point Cakewalk does not have this feature (yet, hoping), it is like so may ideas pass through the stream of consciousness and onto the keyboard only to be lost, now it is possible to have an idea catcher of sorts. Pianoteq has this "always listening" feature and out of some of the MIDI improvisations has come some interesting completed arrangements.

I have recently discovered Coyote MIDI. I use my nanoKONTROL not only for MIDI CC but as a sort of Streamdeck style hotkey setup for my livestreaming. I had been using another application to do the MIDI CC to Keystrokes but Coyote MIDI far surpasses it in functionality. Not only does it do a great job with MIDI CC to Keystrokes, but it also includes as Live MIDI RECORDER that is listening in the background and captures any MIDI going into it. So when you are just playing something, it captures it so you will not lose those moments of inspiration. There is a lot more that they have in mind as the application matures and they are in need of more testers to help kick the tires so to speak so if this is something you might be interested in, take a look at the website and download the FREE beta. There is also an active Discord server that is a great way to keep in touch. Enjoy: CoyoteMIDI // MIDI to Key Command Utility for Windows

Thanks so much. I guess it is confusing how the inputs and output flow is represented, it feels like the exact opposite of what you would expect. I will give it another go and see what happens. All the best!
