Hi music creating friends, a somewhat different ask: I want to up my game in audio production. And one of the things I want to focus on is sound design. That's why I want to deep dive into one VSTi Synth. Which one should I take? Options on the table: - Absynth - FM8 - Massive - Massive X - ANA 2 - Ultra Analog VA3 - Z3TA+ 2 The kinds of sounds I would like to focus on: 70s Prog, Synthwave and Soundscapes

Hi guys, I wanted to refresh my CbB knowledge and of course typed in 'Cakewalk' in the search bar at Groove 3 and barely anything came up. Tried again with 'Sonar' and of course a slew of videos popped up. Maybe the Bandlab guys could contact Groove3 to have some of the Sonar videos tagged with Cakewalk or Bandlab, so new users can find those tutorials.

How does it compare to the Amplitube SVT?

Who would buy this if there is the Tonal Balance bundle for about $50 more

Bitwig announced their Intro version Bitwig 16 Track for $99 https://www.bitwig.com/en/16-track.html It's quite a limited version. And doesn't have apart from the track count, have many advantages to the 8-Track version that is part of some Interfaces/given away with magazines.eu I made a feature comparison file.

Thanks, took the EZDrummer one from Eyal

Hi guys, with NAMM coming up. Anything you are hoping for/looking forward to to be shown or announced? I am hoping we get a better look at EzBass

On my XLN Account I got AD1 and 2 and a couple of Add Packs. I want to get rid of all the Drum VST except for the Toontrack stuff. Be more focussed in my music creation.

Not as much due to GAS, but mostly because too many options have me procrastinating a lot of my time, instead of making music. I'm getting rid of some software, can I do full account sales for these: - Proppelerheads/Reason Studios - XLN - FXPansion Only just created a KVR account, so I'm waiting for the period before I can make any FS post there.

How do they compare to the Strummed Acoustic libraries from NI?

Got some Eyal Levi courses too. Does any of you have any experience with their Mix subscription service https://www.nailthemix.com/? Is it any good?

Hi, I'm curious: with Reason 11 as a VST, (haven't used it yet), what is your preferred/the most stable App in App integration. VST, ARA, ReWire? And what kind of apps would you like to see integrated in your DAW? I for one, am still waiting for some kind of integration of GuitarPro in a DAW. This is one point where I could see a real benefit to my workflow.

Best wishes for the new year! I watched some fireworks with the wife and kids. Then spent the rest of the night to get the 1 year old to sleep. Stayed up until dawn, not much partying going on though,

Just a thought that crossed my mind: is there a de-amp sim? Calculating an (distorted) amped guitar sound back to a DI sound. To then create a different sound with an amp-sim.

One other thing: any software I need to actively de-activate the license for before doing the reinstall?

Thanks for the advice. I'll update once I were successful in reinstalling Win 10

Hi guys, I'm planning to reinstall my Windows 10 DAW and start from scratch. I was wondering if I could get some advice as to what install on which drive? I've got: - 1TB Nvme SSD -2TB 7200 rpm SATA drive -500gb SATA SSD -1TB SATA SSD Mainly looking for the best way to split OS, Programs, Projects and Sampler (NI and EastWest) across these drives.

I guess NI considers using KompleteKontrol, having a standalone version.

Do we need to redeem this code, or can we hold on to it for a future Group Buy?

May jump on this one. Missed it the first time round. Is it worth it?

Superior Drummer, or the upgrade from EZDrummer.

Do they ever put base SD on sale?

Only one I wanted isn't part of the sale

Yeah, bought in dollars with VPN instead of Euros, saved me another 8 Euros
