Yes, very good call Simon! Hail to the King!!

Looking at the size of it, seems to be a bit sleepy/drunk from eating too much.

I'm a huge fan of XO and had it for more than a year. I have about 55+ GB of drum samples I've collected and they sound excellent in XO. Super easy to get a good beat going/tweak the sounds and at times I use EZ drummer or Addictive drums with XO to get a 'different' feel. Very cool interface as well....highly recommended.

Congrats Kenny! Glad to see you and Milo are getting to be good buddies.

Title should be changed to Money Collector's Edition.

Briefly looking at their site, I also couldn't find how many scales they had, but found this Captain Chords (How to guide) very informative: https://mixedinkey.com/captain-plugins/how-to-guide/captain-chords/

Peachy?

Sadly, I haven't visited there since Covid (probably much earlier). Appreciated it Bapu for setting it up (especially when the old Cake site went down), but we're reunited and it feels so good.

I've been demoing the Cory Wong sim and quite impressed with it....versatile it is. Got some very nice clean tones as well as crunchy rhythm/leads. The Fx's are very nice as well and seriously thinking of getting it. Liked this video (of course, Tom Quayle can make anything sound good).

Captain plugins are pretty good for chord progressions/basslines/melodies etc.. It's currently going for $79 right here: https://mixedinkey.com/captain-plugins/ Another one might be Scaler 2: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Music-Theory-Tools/6439-Scaler-2

Actually, with the full version there isn't an issue. It's the Demo (time limit thing) that causes the crash and support apologized for this problem, but said there's no plans to fix it. Anyway, you're good to go.

I still have my old Gear Box guitar input (in case I want use POD farm), but honestly haven't used POD farm in years. I'm still considering Helix Native, but their demo worked for awhile and then just crashed my system (apparently a known issue per support). Will keep an eye open for a deal as I do like the workflow/options with Helix.

Simon, did you get the Helix Native?

I was looking at Goliath as well and going to get the Demo. Most of the reviews on their site also favors Goliath.

Yeah, I watched that and short video was on the fence. I'm trying to avoid installing libraries/plugins that I won't use and was hoping for an opinion on the library. Yes I know there are much larger libraries, but if this isn't all that useful, I see no point in install it. Anyway, no worries.

How do you like it Abstract? worth the huge download?

Thanks Zinc! I don't have Damage 1, so Damage 2 will have to be heavily discounted......or my wallet gets seriously damaged. You know how it is though, GAS just emanates from within.

Very good stuff Kenny!! Enjoyed this groovy track mixed with some funky/jazzy/bluesy flavors, made it very tasty indeed!

Installing...

Talent 1.01

I only hear Becan sizzling....

Is there's an upgrade path at NI for Damage?

That's a Heavy, heavy, heavy price! I'm hoping Damage2 will be at good discount for this BF.

Been using Webroot for about 6 years (or more) and very happy with their service. Very small footprint on the install and it just quietly works in the background.
