I got burned way back at v3. I was hoping this would not happen again. I would like to be positive so, I am glad I have the waves plugins I have. They are perpetual license. You can’t get these any more. I only hope they don’t sabotage the plug-ins I have paid for perpetual licenses. Only time will tell. I still think is is a great set of plugins even though the company has some unscrupulous ideas about selling plugins. This ploy is not for pros!!! This is about the home hobbyist. No Pro is looking for a bunch of AI plug-in chains that don’t fit any particular situation that they are working on. You can only get close with ai chains. It just doesn’t work that way. Most pros already have their go to start up settings for chains. There are probably 500:1 amateur recordist to pros, or more. If you were selling plugins which group would you target? google-> USA 21,631 Pro studios I could not find home studio information so these are just my guess. google->27.98 million musicians in the USA in 2014.

I have personally experienced a full breakdown caused by waves. Somewhere around V3. It was a disaster. A few years later, I went back. It has been good for years till now! I will not pay yearly. I have no subscriptions of any kind. (Excluding the water and electric lol) is

Have you ever had this happen? I was trying to do some editing and could not figure out why I couldn't unfreeze some tracks. When I finally figured it out - I found all my VSTi's outputs had been shifted by one row up. What could have caused this?

Where did you find that great chart??

I thought about doing my own. You probably did too. The convenience of this thing is amazing. 2 clappers 4 snappers what ever you need right at your fingertips! I think this is an amazing buy at this price. I hope he adds other sounds. It would be super to add your own. Don’t know how he could double it without artifacts. Software it super powerful now.

Yes you are correct.

Music man - No but I could lol!

Great price for this software.

Does plug-in doctor check CPU?

After listening to the Tungsten demo, I was hoping the chorus could mess mess with sound the way Tungsten dose!!

The instrument definition file is just basically a list of names. On custom banks you just have to type them. I do not exactly understand. This-> “it would be the timbres of the user expansion part” or the part about “images”. Please explain.

I wouldn’t buy it for my main EQ. But when you need it, it is extremely handy.

I do have a ti FW card. Just no money for even a used controller at the moment. Lots of doctor bills and inflation. Thanks for the info.

Wow, I wish I had a FW1884! I have always wanted one to mix more than 1 track at a time. I looked on ebay, but funds are little low now. Food prices have jumped out of sight where we live. Glad you get this going. Hope I can save up some money. Thanks for everything you do here! Max

I thought an aux could be used like a bus but then frozen. Then you could just archive the tracks/folders that are associated with those auxes. I would miss the console view. Wow what if structurely the buses could be replaced with auxes.

Byron Dickens I saw somewhere ages ago, there were steps to dump an SYSEX file from a keyboard and just open the file with a hex editor. like - HxD Hex Editor. It might work.

Wow, thanks for the name! A quick google search finds his stuff. http://www.jmelas.gr/motif/products.php

I would like to see the freeze and archive buttons on buses in the console view. It would be nice to be able to freeze sections/groups of instruments. Archive would be great too. Both of these could help projects that are loaded with synths and plugins.

I used to use gain and volume for track volume. After I got close on the mix, I would, I put a track volume envelopes in. After that it was just easier to use gain for volume. Now, if I had to, I would use a simple gain plugin in a few places. This is a BAD habit I had. I didn't know any better. Gain is 95% of the time used for the input of the effects bin, not a volume control. The gain level of many FX like compressors/saturators/tube emulations is very important. Some respond best only within a few DB + -. Turning it down at the end is not a good idea either. I don't always do it, but you should be able to turn off any plugin and not change the volume of the track (Exception possible Limiter and final gain staging stuff). Each FX in the bin works best at an input gain that the plugin expects. Hope this helps. And yes, it is ok to cheat if you have no effects in the FX bin, and don't plant to use any later.

Ok, back to the subject - Wasn't there a paint brush in the piano roll? It painted patterns. Is that thing still there?? Found it ->F9 It's under Draw-> Pattern. Here are some nice free ones. Free Midi Go to LATIN-> https://mididrumfiles.com/tag/midi-notes/ Free Audio Shaker and Tambourine loops https://files.elphnt.io/file/ELPHNT/free-downloads/SHAKE.zip There are plenty more.

Also add grouping to FX I would hope that we would be able to add the mute button in a group. If it could be added to a group, it would be a great way to decide between 2 compressors/EQs/reverbs/etc. on a track or a bus.

I have been working on my Tamborenial Doctorate for a few years. After watching this I give up LOL!!

A real tambourine - Cheap - the beginning of a real music career! Stylus - not cheap - instant gratification. The beginning of a looper’s career. lol!!

Stylus RMX. Shakers, tambourines, Congas bongos, and almost anything else you can think of. not cheap

Congratulations! I see you found the right forum. iZotope is a company not a plug-in. Pick a plugin; pick a question and you will probably get some suggestions. Most of the people that have been doing music for a while have several Izotope products. Someone has sent you links to iZotopes older docs. Those will help. Most of that is relevant. So which plug-in/software do you choose to discuss first, and what is your question?
