I suspect there might be a modal dialog hidden behind something that needs closing.

Use CTRL + TAB to switch to Next,  then use CTRL + TAB to cycle through any dialogs being shown.

Hi Mark!

Not sure who this response it targeted.

My issue is constant with nothing else open, no popups, menu commands don’t respond.

I can open the browser, drag clips in and play/stop but nothing else. Excuse me. I believe I can also toggle the metronome?

Same here.

I found awful the Discord page, cluttered and very confusing. 

Next was unusable in my system for the same reasons Keni explained.

I decided to quit.

Hi Andres...

Sorry to hear that you've found no recourse either.... but never give up!

I believe that with a bit more time it will be resolved. Nothing to do but wait. I've made numerous postings in Discord (hmmm is that saying something?) and even installed that more recent update but nothing has changed...

So, hurry up and wait for me! Not a problem as I happily continue working in CbB while awaiting the return of Sonar for my future. My interest in Next pales next to my desire for Sonar! ?

How about waiting until Next is actually released and available to purchase? The discord thing I suspect is just for beta testers, and there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Of course. You’re correct that we will see when the time comes.

I've been a beta tester many times for a few companies (even an alpha tester fir one product) and I understand some of the reasons for temporary situations such as beta testing.

 I’m not fond of the discord software but I use it when I must. Mentioning such does not change anything other than notifying the team leaders of the tester's thoughts.

Oh, and being a beta tester is a gift of a kind but lets not forget that it's also an important part of the development process that the coders look to. We have to speak ip about our experiences.

For me right now without some info or change, I am and will be unable to use Next on my Windows DAW as it is frozen! (Menu commands totally inactive)

?

I've been using Discord (reluctantly) since Cakewalk released Momentum? Was that the name? I didn't like it then and I enjoy it less now. Very confusing with way too many screen distractions and no notices of replies to posts. (If there is such a feature I've been unable to find/activate it)

This forum is the way I prefer. I hope they add Sonar to this same forum or one like it.... <sigh>...

Congratulations and best wishes! Its great you are nominated that in itself is an accomplishment. Good luck and hopefully you get more votes than you predict! 

Thanks Treesha!

I'm open to the possibility of surprise. Only too happy to be a part of this let alone a finalist. In some ways, I feel I won just getting another album finished! (The album in this, the 66th Grammys was my 13th solo album. My 14th is being released 11/23/23 and I'm deep into my 15th already! ;-))

Not sure. As I am now getting through on my Music PC also!! Only thing I did was install some software and restarted PC after the install. SO not really sure why I got that message. 

I'll bet it's gone after a re-boot?

Keni, I was able to access the link on my Surface Pro. Will check my music pc later on today to see what the deal is with it.

Cool! I'm glad you got through. Very curios how/why this is happening...

Very cool Keni. Our very own Grammy Nominated Rock Star in da house.

Thanks Grem!

Hmmm. I tested the link so I don’t know why/how/who caused this.

So I just tested it again and it works fine from a few devices/machines here.

I notice that the blocking was not my page, but the domain itself, hearnow.com

Cann you type hearnow.com into the address bar?

then try inexile.hearnow.com on another tab/try?

I don’t know where else to look?

Thanks for the interest either way!

OK... I admit it.

This is not a first for me and I will probably get no more than 2 votes for each of my 3 entries (1 each is my own vote of course), but my album from 2022, Hear Me Calling is in the mix!

Best Rock Album:

Hear Me Calling

by In Exile

Best Rock Song:

Just Can't Stop

The Joke Is On Me

by In Exile

If any voters are out there and curious? I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for the airtime!

Almost Forgot!

Here's a link to a webpage with links to samples from the album as well as links to assorted streaming sties where it can be found...

Thanks again!

I thought we need the UA Connect to be able to install their plugins? Please tell me if there is a hidden way to install singles I beg you ? (or I can always uninstall Connect afterwards...)

I believe you're correct.

I think what Chris was referring to is that it's already been added to his account so he can download and install when convenient. I may be wrong...

I'm not that trusting and grabbed it immediately. Offer is only valid until 10/31/23

 20 hours ago, @Lionel  said (from the older thread on this plugin):
Drew [from UAD] also mentions:
It’s the silver algo with the legacy GUI. We've removed the Mix control and fixed the Emphasis control in a sweet spot.

So it's kind of an 'easy' version of the Silver and has a full preset list - slightly different presets from Silver (some but not others, and some unique presets).

 

Even better news! Thanks Steven!

1 hour ago, Jacques Boileau said:

It is the silver model without a mix knob, the high frequency emphasis knob and, I would assume, less presets.

The emphasis knob? I've never used.... Guess I'm not really a pro?

12 minutes ago, Fleer said:

It’s a simplified version of the Silver one, without mix knob. 

Interesting. As I’ve never seen a mix knob on the hardware, I didn’t think to look. Not something I need often and plenty of work arounds if I do.

 I was really concerned about the performance and sound comparison. If that knob is all that’s different? I’m good!

The LA-2A is a collection of LA-2A, which are three plugins. 

The LA-2A Collection – Three Different Flavors

The Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection includes units from three different LA-2A eras — Gray, Silver, and the original LA-2. Here's a simple breakdown.
 

The UREI-built Silver LA-2A is generally appreciated for its faster time constant and its treatment of transients. This makes it a versatile performer that's suitable for the widest variety of applications — including drums, percussion, and bass guitar.

The Gray model, paying homage to Jim Lawrence's original mid-‘60s Pasadena-built units, is typically used for material requiring a medium-speed compression — think lead and background vocals, keyboards, and (judiciously) acoustic and electric guitars.

The LA-2 model captures the mojo of one of the very earliest Teletronix units, offering the slowest response time and a distinctive "mellow" sound owing to its 50-year-old luminescent panel. It may be best used on legato vocals, strings, and horns. But you know the old maxim, “If it sounds good, it is good!”

The free one is the Universal Audio LA-2A tube compressor

Thanks Jesse!

I was hoping that was all that was meant. I would have been surprised if they actually created a new version to give away for free!

I knew the collection had all three models. I was fortunate through much of my career with always having at least one or two Teletronic LA2a's when there was only the once version! ?

I also have the UA 1176 collection which is the FET compressor I always reach for first! Magic in the hardware and replicated in these softwars to an impressive point!

I'm just being blunt.  But no, I wasn't tackful in my approach, sorry

Not to worry. I understand, but I’m hoping you do too!

We all love free but it’s not necessarily for everyone.

I have a few myself and they are all slightly different but overall, I’m finding the versions of devices made by the company that manufactures the hardware seem "best" to my ear...

12 minutes ago, Solidos said:

 

So? What’s the difference? Between them?

I just noticed a quote on their' page asking if this is the same plugin as the La2a in their' La2a collection and they answered no!

I'm wondering what the difference is? So far nothing found online about this...

Why do I need that when I've got HorNet HA2A?

Good for you if you feel you don’t need/want it, feel free to ignore this offer.

Small price to pay...

Even better would be to performances, recordings, and mixes that are perfect without anything!

...some people are just never happy!
