I don't fell like I should vote because the only one I'm aware of is Audacity.  Like Pavlov's Cat, I hope this poll will expose more people to more DAWs, myself included.

I don't like to throw all my eggs in one basket.

That's why I don't do subscription plans with Audio based programs or plugins.

So I avoid Waves Audio subscription, Pro Tools subscription, Adobe Subscription (music videos) I use outdated adobe software, or anything else subscription.  I have given thought to subscribe to Loopcloud for the TimeShaper plugin, but in the end...it's the subscription that kills the deal for me!

Yep.  Well said.

On the other hand, it really would be a great shame not to get some more use out of all those plug-ins I bought. I sort of owe it to the hard working people who made them, right ?

 

I like the way you think.  Plus, IK has just put Fame Studios Reverb on sale.  I sort of feel like I owe it to them to snag a copy!

The demos of this thing sound really good.

Great product. Takes a little time to wrap your head around it (at least it did for me). Ceiling Of Sound is a pretty nifty product of theirs too.

It really is.  $49.99 well spent IMHO.

I migrated to S1 after we first got the news about CW, but I still come to this forum everyday because I think it's a great place full of really good people.  Anyway, I looked at this list of updates and it strikes me how few of the features I actually use in a DAW!  I bet I probably less than 10% of what's available.   This release makes me realize I need to hit the youtube tuts again.

$30!!!!  The nerve!!!  Didn't they get the $29 notification?

The Free version is capable and generous though (but also a rather massive download that reminds me of IKM - download the whole thing for the 1 plugin you are getting)

You're absolutely right about the download size: 1.2GB!  But, also like you say, it's a great ir system.

I think Nembrini makes really good stuff, but lately I've been wondering what affect new developments like Tonex and NAM will have on him and others.  Hopefully, they'll find a way to morph and stay competitive in the market.

Perhaps I missed it, but is this the first time Clarity VX is also 29.99? 

I don't remember for certain, but I think so.  I think the previous lowest price was $34.95

I got this email from Goyo today concerning a pre-release sale. 

https://goyo.app/

Dear Goyo Beta User,

Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Supertone Voice Clarity, our official product replacing Goyo. This upgraded plug-in retains Goyo’s simplicity and powerful algorithm, along with added features like enhanced CPU performance and offline workflow.

Supertone Voice Clarity will be available for purchase starting early October for $99. As a valued beta user, you'll get an exclusive $70 discount, making it just $29.

Following the release, we’ll transition into phasing out beta testing. Usage and support for existing users will continue until October 31st, after which we encourage you to use Supertone Voice Clarity.

A Waves sale with all plugins at $29!!  Finally!  Wow!  What a novel idea!  I'm jumping in because they may not do that again until . . . tomorrow. 

These guys do some worthwhile stuff with some freebies that are worth checking out as well.  Thanks for posting this.

I use ST quite a bit, but you guys are dead right about the interface and the library structure.  They're both harder than they need to be and making them more user friendly shouldn't be hard at all.  C'mon IK.

Is anyone familiar with this?  It's brand new to me and looks fascinating.   On Friday they're adding another plugin called "Tracer" that let's users add their own "Captured signal chains, including Preamps, Equalizers, Compressors, Limiters, and more, in any combination, from a single piece of gear to complex chains" and those chains can be added to a user Tracer exchange.  It looks sort of a like a version of Tonex but focused on outboard gear rather than amps.

Thanks for chiming in.

It looks like that was a chime right on time.  Sorry for the bad rhyme.

soundalikes has been/was? a lucrative business for session musicians for decades, when the number of entertainment channels was fairly limited.

what the legal issues would be, if any,  if someone used an imitator of a singer/actor

it's only an issue when there is enough money for the lawyers to make a case.

That's the truth!

This is weird territory. Do I own my voice? If someone decides to replicate my voice to create a hit record (I'm Britney y'all!), do I get a slice of the pie? Do I get the whole pie if it is done without my consent? 

Good question.  I wonder what the legal issues would be, if any,  if someone used an imitator of a singer/actor and cloned that voice rather than the actual artist to make a recording.

Thanks for weighing in.

I briefly tried the Goyo on a guide vocal with a lot of background noise and I was impressed with the job it did, but I haven't compared it to Clarity VX. When you wrote that Goyo doesn't "change the sound of the file as much as the Clarity VX," do you mean that Goyo doesn't alter the vocal part you're trying to remove background noise from as much or that the Goyo doesn't remove background noise as well? 

I think you meant the former, but I just wanted to make sure. Again, I appreciate you doing the comparison. 

Glad to help.

I meant that the more I pushed the VX the more I think I heard the sound of the file itself slightly altered.  It wasn't anything radical and in full mix would probably be inaudible, but I do think I heard it.  The Goyo didn't seem to do that.

Yep, it looks extremely likely that this plugin is only free during the open beta. I'd be interested if anyone who has the similar plugin from Waves could compare it to this one. 

I've got the Waves Clarity VX (the one knob one) and just downloaded  the Goyo.    So far I've only tested it on one really noisy file, but it seems to me that the Goyo doesn't change the sound of the file as much as the Clarity VX (not that the VX changes it much, but I think I can hear a bit) and the Goyo has somewhat more control in that you can remove the ambiance and the reverb separately.  Just to see what would happen I dropped them both on the same file and as a team they did a remarkable job of cleaning it up.   Depending on what the Goyo sells for I'd be tempted to use it more just because of the added flexibility.

We're glad you're back safe and sound!   I would leave town too if I had a three day power outage in the summer.

I live about an hour from Memphis and it's a neat place.   Lots of great music there of all styles and the blues still gets a major nod on Beale Street.   I'm glad you had fun and got to experience some southern hospitality.

With sidechaining enabled, I take it? Tell me more about how you set it up.

Setup is an absolute breeze.  You drop it on the track you want to duck.  Open the plugin and choose the track you want to drive the ducking from a drop down list then adjust the effect knob on Trackspacer until you get the sound you want.  Piece of cake!
