Hello Cakewalk family, I am having some issues after updating my Scarlett 4i4 to the latest drivers. Nothing like having your audio drivers blow up on you during a livestream and I have tried resolving it for the past few days, and of course it had to be during a long weekend. Long story short, I have always been able to run OBS using the ASIO plugin at the same time running Cakewalk which allows me to have mic and virtual instruments going to OBS through the Loopback, never had an issue in over two years of having this setup. After updating the driver, things have made an ugly turn. I start OBS first and then when starting Cakewalk I get an error that no audio drivers can be found: So I try to do it the other way around and start Cakewalk first and then OBS. Things seem to be working as they had been in the past UNTIl, I try adding or removing a virtual instrument or even change the buffer size in the Focusrite ASIO settings. When I try any of that the drivers disappear and I lose audio. I rolled back to the previous version and things were fine until I tried upgrading again and then reverting back. It now seems that the older driver version is doing the same thing whereas it had not behaved in this way before. I would love to get any feedback to see if anyone else have experienced anything strange after updating. I have submitted a ticket to Focusrite as well, so hopefully I can figure out what went wrong. Thanks for the help! Joyfully, Simeon

I had my audio driver and configuration blow up after updating my Focusrite drivers, crazy! Hopefully I can get things sorted soon.

The Spitfire Audio Spring Sale is almost over for the year, but they surprised us with something to even sweeten the deal even further. Use the code SPRING10 to score an additional 10% off the already up to 40% off sale prices. Spitfire Audio

I enjoyed my short time away and am back, ready to go on more adventures with all of you. Join me at 3:30 PM EST as I feature a few titles from Spitfire Audio (@Spitfire Team) during the last moments of this year's Spring Sale. I was very interested to experience Albion V Tundra as well as featuring Olafur Arnalds Composer Toolkit. Of course, there might be a few surprises along the way and I look forward to answering your questions during the live chat. I look forward to seeing you there.

It is here and it does sound very nice, rich low end and should be here for some time as I enroll it into Celebrate Recovery.The funniest thing was as I walked away, I thought I heard Bob Dylan! ? I continue enjoy seeing the Soundiron engine and learning more with each release that utilizes it. I think my first library that used it was their Didgeridoo Stay tuned ?

The Resonator was developed by Tracy Collins over at Indiginus. There is also a Kontakt version available but SampleTank adds the built in strumming and pattern engine which is really nice for this title. @cclarry, don’t forget the new FAME Studio reverb and Tascam emulations could also be included

I ran the installer and it removed the older drivers and updated. You do need a full system shutdown and restart to refresh but everything is working as expected.

I cannot believe it has been two years since doing this video, just wow how fast time gets away from you, but I digress, enjoy. ?

I'll just leave this here ;^)

Thanks to everyone who joined the livestream (great to see you @Fleer). I have briefly indexed the replay and will be publishing standalone segments soon. Thanks for the support!

Off we go on another ambitious journey to explore the latest instruments.

Come along as I explore Spitfire's latest Originals, Intimate Grand Piano. I will also be stopping by the Pianobook Nook and Soundpaint Corner ;^) You can watch the full replay here:

Albion ONE was the first Spitfire Audio library that I ever purchased outside of the then KONTAKT version of LABS that were donations are at the time before they were discontinued. This Albion has a lot of hidden gems, especially some of the legacy strings that some of the Orig!nals were derived from. Might be fun to journey through this on a livestream. ?

Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot to me, you get it. ?

This brings back a lot of memories for sure as it was one of my first videos on the channel. Philharmonik 2 will always be a classic. I remember when I first hear of the original Miroslav Vitous Akai Sample Library CDs. I just saw a 2010 Sound On Sound article that wanted $999 for the strings library!!!!!

There is nothing like sharing these adventures with you, everyone is a new experience. ABYSS from Tracktion Audio and Dawsome is such a deep virtual synth. Bunker Samples has such a unique personality infused into their instruments. VSL Celestial Strings is so lush and free, what a gift. I also took a quick look at Soundiron's Hyperion Solo Violin, which had some surprises of its own. The music did indeed take us to some fun and unexpected places and I am always amazed when that happens. Thanks to everyone for their confidence and support.

Since VSL's move to iLok there have been a lot of things to get used to. This was a section from Monday's livestream where I went through the process live and it was indeed an experience. Thankfully this feature has been edited some to help with time. I hope you find it helpful. Be on the lookout for more Free Instruments from VSL.

Here is the standalone feature for Fink Signatures. Also the Fink Signatures Unified library was updated to address a couple of issues. Links in the video description. Let's Play Spitfire Audio Fink Signatures Guitars Vocals Percussion | Livestream Flashback

Join me as we go on another adventure, to explore some of the latest titles. I also just finished Unifying Spitfire's Fink Signature Guitars (download link in video description). I look forward to seeing you here:

I wonder if I would need to ask them for an NFaRt ?????

One of my all time favorites!

I had a quick livestream this morning featuring a few new libraries. All of the titles are still on their special intro pricing, so check them out. Make sure you look in the video description to enter for a chance to win one of three copies of Orchestral Tool's OPALINE.

During John Lemkhul’s (Plugin Guru) livestream Saturday he was looking at the new Tails reverb and a few in the chat mentioned this new sub model, well needless to say ai picked up TAILS ? Interesting move by PA for sure.

Join me as I take us on a journey to POLARIS. I look forward to seeing you there.

I thought this would be a good time to catch up on a couple of titles I missed in some of my past livestreams. I am looking forward to seeing you here:
