X-53mph

Is it worth it, or is it a cut down version?

They appear to have fixed the bug in the VST3 file. Everything is running smoothly now. Yay!

I did my entry for the WestWorld contest completely on CbB. As long as you export into the correct format, I works great.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this comment.

That is not creepy - It's relaxing It's the same sound I use to get to sleep at night. I record sounds when I go camping in the mountains, and this is the kind of sound I use to block traffic and neighbour noise. I've got a speaker system setup with a similar sound playing 24hrs

I'm going for a studio job which requires me to have knowledge of Pro Tools. I used it 20 years ago in a studio environment... never liked it. Now I'm having to relearn it all....still don't like it. I hate that Pro Tools is still industry standard.

I'm not kidding. All I seem to do is invest, invest, invest in equipment, software, effects, and instruments to make music that I have to pay to release and which doesn't pay back on the investment. AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

If someone would buy some of my music, maybe I would be able to get this upgrade. ? All I seem to do is 'invest' in software with no ROI. And in this moment, I can't afford even this great offer.

You can still do it, but you get a functionally reduced version of W10. Not full functionality. I did it recently on a ancient laptop with W7. It worked but you cannot change settings, you cannot tweak the system....unless you pay for the upgrade. So I rolled back to W7. This may be because that particular laptop had an OEM version of W7 Pro. ?‍♂️

Thanks for the feedback Wookiee. I like using the Spitfire String instruments to lead into most of my tracks... I feel in love with the sound of Frozen Strings and use it on nearly everything I do now. ? I know it's counter intuitive in this age of 'get to the hook in the first 20 seconds' to have intros, but I still like to believe that there are some people out there, like myself, who enjoy long lead ins. I was listening to an interview with a famous R&B artist the other day and she was saying how much she dislikes the way modern music assumes the audience won't enjoy a long intro before getting to the verses...'credit your audience with some intelligence' was the phrase she used. I like that. It goes against the grain of all that you read, but I like that idea. Some of my favourite Elliott Smith tracks have reallllly long intros which only makes the gem that follows that more enjoyable . IMHO. ? Would a bandcamp link be better in the future?

Thanks David. I appreciate where you're coming from. I too appreciate a well made song, even when I don't really dig the genre etc.. I appreciate the feedback though. ?

Thanks Lynn. I love the idea of mandolin or perhaps a uke. As I make music purely as a hobby now, I'm always building on tracks over a long long period of time, constantly editing and adding, so next time I come back to this track I'll try out what you suggested.

My new track produced entirely on CbB is now up on all good streaming services. Link here:

I was looking at my installed programs the other day and I see that I have two instances of Bandlab Assistant installed. Versions 5.0.6 & 5.2.0 Should there be two installed? What would happen is I uninstall one?

*Stepping back from this*

What's up with izotope?

Has anyone else had problems loading this into CbB? I keep getting an error message: I've tried repairing both the downloads, but no joy. Strangely, it works just fine in SPLAT???

Hey Guys! I don't know if anyone has discussed this here on the board, but Spitfire Audio and HBO are running a scoring competition to celebrate season 3 of Westworld. If you head on over to Spitfire Audio's website you can find the link easily enough. I thought I'd share my entry with you guys on the board as it was made entirely on CbB using Spitfire LAB instruments and bundled Cakewalk instruments (Rapture, RXP, Dimension Pro). I very much doubt I will win (I've heard some of the entries and they are stunning) but it's been fun putting it together. Hope you enjoy my entry:

Ok. I tried the above workaround, and it appears to be working for now.... I'll let you know if it stops again. Thanks for all your help. ?

Thanks for the link and the help. It's not a drop in volume - all inputs from MIDI are lost after stopping the audio engine. The player becomes unresponsive. Keyboard becomes unresponsive (only on that track) and any MIDI written to the track no longer plays. The virtual keyboard on Kontakt stops moving (which wouldn't happen if it was just a drop in volume). I'm guessing no-one else has had this problem then.

I don't know if it's the same problem. Kontakt works great with everything else in CbB except with this library. ?‍♂️

I don't know if this is a CbB issue or Kontakt 5 or Epic Babies or all three, but... I've been trying to use Epic Babies by PulseSetter Sounds in Kontakt 5 (full addition) and everytime I stop the recording engine in CbB, I lose all sound in this particular library. The only way to get the sound back is to close the library (not Kontakt) and reopen it. But as soon as I stop the recording engine again, I lose sound. As I don't appear to have a problem with any other library, I think it may just be that particular one. Has anyone else come across this problem before?

Larry, I just wanted to thank you for posting this. I don't often get cheap or free bundles that really impress me from the get-go, but this one is a real treat.

Thank you for this hotfix and posting on the Facebook pages. I installed the last build and straight away had problems in playback - terrible noise, no matter the latency. This update fixed all that (whew) - no I can get back to making music.

I tried running it - but I'm getting "Something Went Wrong - Are you connected to the internet?" (Obviously I am). Anyone else having this problem? FIXED: I had to redownload the app from Spitfire site. This repaired everything and then gave me the option to optimize my sample libraries.
