Thanks @PavlovsCat .. I am a guitarist, so you might wonder WHY would I need a guitar instrument plugin? First out just because ... and to learn one. Main reason though is to have a decent enough alt guitar instrument for trying ideas when on my laptop and not in my music room. And also I reckon one could use it as a reverse ideas machine where one might come up with something you might never think of on guitar

Seems it does with the extra MELODY NKI which earlier Electric Sunburst did not have Good review

Does the deluxe version allow you to turn off the pattern generator to play a note as it sounds? I have the original version - is deluxe in general worth the upgrade?

Hi Guys Anyone here making good use of Guitar Instrument plugins like NI Session Guitarist Electric Sunburst? Its tough enough to find decent tutorials paid or other wise on these. I did find one on Groove3 but tbh it was more a showcase course than proper prpject based how to. https://www.groove3.com/tutorials/Session-Guitarist-ELECTRICS-Explained spends more time on the vintage instrument and sunburst deluxe In general I have found tutes on guitar instruments pretty poor across the board

Note with respect to NEXT it will need minimum a processor with 8-core CPU https://www.cakewalk.com/next So i think systems will need Core i7 / Ryzen 7 to use CAKEWALK NEXT? I imagine that cuts down the userbase numbers, many who would use older systems? I didnt bother signing up for the beta access because of that - All my systems are Core i5

Just bought EUPHORIA to add to my expanding listg of UJAM plugs, all bought via offers, never full price

So I will start. Here is a very nicely put together 60 minute mix of 80s SLOW trax .. nice groove through out

Yip - Im getting a few more soundbanks while this 50% sale is on. These 4:

Also comes with this FREE https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/audio-plugins/klevgrand-daw-lp

@bitflipper "Yeh, over the coming month the next step is going direct to the PA for guitar, bass and drums - no amps other than monitors. " Beat you to it .. we had a small covers band from 2001 to 2010 and did exactly this. Really simplifies things and can fit in smaller venues. Plus allows better control of volumes.

@bitflipper I know this may seem highly unsacred & ye play classic rock .. But rather than cancel gigs could ye get the current guitarist to record lines as backing tracks that might get ye over the transition period and keep playing those gigs? I say this as a guitarist who has played for years as a 3 piece with backing tracks inc likes of killers etc ( BTs were for the drums, keys - Live guitar, bass and vox ). Crowd had no issues, BTs were top quality ( by ourselves ) so very good sound. Interestingly it got us into smaller venues and as a smaller unit got individually paid more

Well then .. who would have thought Barbie v Oppenheimer: dolls trump nukes as blockbusters hit screens https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jul/22/barbie-oppenheimer-greta-gerwig-christopher-nolan-atom-bomb-dolls

https://www.vox.com/culture/23789864/barbenheimer-barbieheimer-barbie-oppenheimer-release-memes-double-feature So which one is it for you - Greta Gerwig’s Barbie OR Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer .. or BOTH "Forced" to go to one of them perhaps .. the Kids ..

Sort of related to what this thread is about .. "Some things in life seem to get in the way of music creation. Especially money, time, and family. Lets discuss some solutions!"

I did, its a Coupon that reduces price to €/$49.99

BTW I am not saying economies are going bad or recessions and job losses on the way. It just seems everything has gotten way dearer of late so now i am noticing less disposable income .. maybe this is due to peoples wages NOT rising enough along with cost of living. So before i would just buy stuff without much consideration but now I have to justify and am cutting back

This is NOT to spoil Larry and the deals section AT ALL. Or to stop anyone from buying. Just getting a feel for things financial I am just relaying a personal thing .. I have not bought any new plugins, software or new systems since pre pandemic years ( only buy was recent for full disclosure - €25 for a bundle including Samplitude Pro X5 from fanatical ). REASON - here in Ireland and same for rest of Europe I would say ( not sure of US ), its the large energy cost hikes, huge Cost of Living hikes leaving less or no disposable income - its really noticeable .. even more so than that crash back in 08 I am just wondering has this affected purchase decisions of others here in the last recent while? Do ye find there is alot less cash to go around in recent times? As an aside i notice with my IT clients that they are not buying new as much. I am doing alot more SSD and RAM upgrades to existing core i3 i5 etc systems

Back around 2001 we did a cover of THIN LIZZY .. Don't Believe A Word ( me on guitar ) https://www.tidalsound.com/mp3/dont believe a word.mp3 Also a cover of BLUE NILE Track LETS GO OUT TONIGHT https://www.tidalsound.com/mp3/lets go out tonight.mp3 Band is called COLOURTIDE, currently at - www.colourtide.com

In answer to above Qs .. the Convology complete and content mentioned in the install has NO LICENSE I could find so dont bother installing it, untick the Convology items in previous screen to below, do same with the APU plugins i would say. This bundle in reality only includes Samplitude Pro X5 software, no more.

Yip agree. Thats why i unticked it. Kept the impulse responses & Object synth plus Convology XT Content Screen shot of samplitude Pro X5 newly opened:

For those interested .. the SAMPLITUDE PRO X5 comes with the following also: So if interested in Impulses, zillions of them

Hi Guys - AN UPDATE OLLIE of fanatical came back in answer to my support ticket and gave me a new key. This one once added to Magix redeem page gave me the 4 items INC samplitude pro x5 .. so all is well

Yip .. I got 3 keys not 4 in the email from MAGIX with code for MUSIC MAKER Premium 2023, SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 15, Vegas Pro Edit 18 ... no code or mention of Samplitude Pro X5, the only one I wanted from that bundle. I already have the other 3 from Humble Bundles EDIT - Fanatical sorted this for me, sent another code to use at Magix to retrieve the 4 packages including Samplitude Pro X5
