Forzo is very nice and big. I am thinking about doing some vids or live streams to feature these. I have Forzo, Novo, Vento, Ascend and picked up Mosaic Keys during Christmas. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to know or hear ;^)

@Paul Montgomery and @Matthew Sorrels, sorry about that, I should have looked a little close; but looking I notice several instances of Philharmonik 2 and was wondering if that might play into some of the issue (long shot). As far as updating, I would still check to see if there might be an update for SampleTank 3, you never know and according to some other posts it seems that IK will be improving notifying users when new updates are available which would be nice. @Paul Montgomery, have you ever thought of using Philharmonik 2 multitimbrally? That way you would only need one instance. You would have access to multiple audio outs as well. Just a thought. All the best

Make sure you are running the latest version of SampleTank 4 which is now at version 4.0.9. There were a few users seeing this same fatal crash and updating seemed to correct it. Check this thread:

Here is a fun video that documents my journey putting everything together! I also show some noise comparisons between my older system and the new be quiet! Dark Base 700 case which is very impressive. I can tell in just the short first couple of weeks such a difference in performance and stability. I also have been making system images along the way just in case. Looking forward to a very musical and exciting 2020! New Year, New Computer; "The Build" v2020

So this is crashing but then - So in this step it seems that ST4 loads; so does the crash happen on load or when you pull it up after it is inserted?

Have you tried using the Insert Soft Synth? There might be an issue when dragging and dropping. I will try dragging and dropping here and see what happens. So just checking; when you unzipped them did you run the installer as well (sorry if I misunderstood)? If there is a chance the sounds installer placed them in another directory you can add that path to ST4 and do a rescan to make sure the sounds database is updated. This the exact screen that pops up in my friends issue. *disclaimer; not assuming anything, just trying to help troubleshoot ?

Neil, please keep us posted if you receive any updates. A viewer of one of my SampleTank 4 vids is having the same issue so any help in finding a solution would be great. There has to be some common denominator somewhere that triggers this on some setups and not others.

Got it back here! I am however having problems getting LP EQ and LP Multiband Limiter. Both have serial numbers but I am wondering if they need additional activation? I downloaded and installed both through the Command Center.

Same here, the PC EQ is just so convenient to use right away.

Yes! This is an amazing keyboard. I remember playing an original Wavestation when it came out, a lot of fun. It is also interesting that a lot of the new workstation and synth keyboards being released are featuring a smaller keyboard. Here is a coll video by Sonic State I saw last night:

Done! First new library of the year! I think what interested me was the streamlined sound as well as the layering of the arpeggiator engine.

I am so excited to have this new build out together and just taking my time. I would love to hear some first hand experiences and suggestions that might help me get things started in the right direction, especially in setting up the BIOS and Windows. I went with the Intel i9-9900k an ASRock Z390 motherboard and 64 gb of ram ? A signature change is definitely imminent. I might still use the older system for doing other things. Thanks as always!

They do provide a demo version of the Hammond B-3X here: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/hammondb3x/index.php?p=demo

I was not aware this was an issue and I have not experienced anything crazy but will check it out. The only thing I could think of is where you might have originally downloaded your version. @msmcleod, any thoughts on this?

Z-Noise would be my pick. Here is something I found from someone at Waves which might be helpful:

There is also a very impressive list of other plugins and apps. One thing I noticed was a One Year Groove 3 subscription.

Acousticsamples is having a great sale on their libraries now with 30% off. More info here: https://www.acousticsamples.net

I was wondering about that; especially the lower thirds scripts.

Personally it is to help with my tutorial production as well as those cases where I need to put a video together for an arrangement for a client. It challenges me to think outside of just music production and fine new ways I can leverage producing video content that would complement and add value to my music producing and arranging. Recently I have been working with a screenwriter who needs trailer like presentations to help present her screenplay ideas so having video editing capabilities really is essential for me. Here is a project I worked on recently. I did the audio sweetening (cleaning up vocals, noise reduction) and did the music arrangement using Cakewalk by BandLab and editing it in Vegas Pro 15.

Done! I think with my journey to building a new PC a move to DaVinci Resolve would be a good one along with some of the fun of HitFilm and the extra plugins I think this is a good value. I would still have Vegas to be a backup during the transistion.

Well this pulls me even further into the Arturia dimension! Pigments 2 is really a fun synth and it looks very deep as far as what you can do with the various synth engines. I like the "light bulb" tip that gives you some info on the person who worked on the preset.

I love the Ivory II American Concert D.

Dan, Have you experimented with the Multis in the Walker? I think if you have the horsepower this is a very interesting way to tailor a particular piano sound in a mix. I was checking this out last night and assigned the different mic slots to faders on my nanoKONTROL and it was a very interesting way to adjust the blend of the mic positions. I am amazed I am just finding out about this one

@cclarry, I use this all the time, it is a great way to see how the services will adjust your mix. I just downloaded the plugin version and interested in how this works to pinpoint the spots where things get out of hand. I use it along with Gullfoss, Ozone 8 and Tonal Balance Control.
