  1. The next thing is to look at KONTAKT and REAKTOR libraries. Again zillions of these, many free .. or if purchased sounded good at the time ..
  2. Not saying Ill never buy a plug again .. but rather than just going on wow this is a great deal I will look at NEED and if it fits in with what I have or fills a gap. Unless real good and useful I am going to stay away from freebies and stuff off of mags. My core is Native instruments Kimplete, Arturia inc FX, Cherry Audio, a small few Waves ( already removed a good few of these ), Izotope, Scaler, AAS, UVI I just really want to start to learn proper again .. know my way around decent useful plugins That list above also tallies with what other members in my band HAVE esp the song writing members .. so its handy that all have same core plugs for collab
  3. I think an important step esp where EFX plugins are concerned regardless of DAW is to decide on what EFX plugs to regularly use in each category of EFX eg EQ, Delay, Reverb and so on .. Try stick to a few decent ones per cat and not dilute with loads of freebies etc, ending up overwhelmed when trying to do something. Also LEARN these few plugs properly so you know your way around them therefore speeding up the creative process and mastering tracks etc Same goes for AUDIO Plugs .. Synths. I have so many synths and Kontakt Libraries .. huge number i will never use. Yet I still havent seriously dug into some great synths i have like pigments
  4. After all the purchasing over the years .. many via this DEALS section ... I decided to deep dive into my plugins folders and start being tough and getting rid of paid/free plugins that I am still not using. I want to get my plugins down to what I would use regularly. Doing same with DAWs .. I have a few, so I am just going to have Cakewalk and reaper installed, everything else goes. I find I am overwhelmed with plugins TBH and that its a positive step to cull as much as possible .. less is more and most likely more productive also, less temptation to go off side roads etc. Thats the plan anyway. Anyone else at any point conclude this / try EDIT - one other honourable exception .. I may keep REASON INTRO 11 on board ONLY to have it in "plugin Mode" ( I have the reason plugin ) inside CW/Reaper to have access to its unique inhouse plugs now and then
  5. Bought Dobro, acoustic and Electric .. got well paid for a job in advance today so why not

  7. Yip .. It was more being curious about the ProgramData Arturia ( your d:\arturia ) content which also references the VST2 and 3 plugins in ProgramData\arturia\ ( eg ) pigments\x64 I was wondering is that all install stuff that could be dumped to free up space?
  8. While on the subject of Arturia related. Updating / Installing. I notice it installs itself allover the place: - Vst64/32 folder ( or seperate if you have same viw prefs/location in ASC - VST 3 into Program Files/common files/vst3 - Into Programdata/Arturia - Into Program Files/Arturia Whats in ProgramData? ASC/folders says RESOURCES. What be they vs whats in Program Files etc?
  9. Sorry I was wrong - its AI in the bundle, so what you are now getting is the extra packs for the 19 as AI is now free above
  10. Yip I knew it was there. I am an avid Humble Bundle watcher and purchaser over the years esp for Audio and Graphics bundles. It seems the "Full" ver of Luminar is in the bundle vs AI
  11. Did you get this @pseudopop ? If so is it worth the 20 quid beyond the free Luminar app above
  12. Link - https://www.jrrshop.com/soundtoys
  13. Yip I am same. I can get what I need done no problem with V1, and the way things are economically now i dont have $99 to just pony up nor see the reason to right now
  14. Thats what i mean. The fact they are extending the BF deal to end of January probably means not as many people biting as they would like
  15. GET V2 FOR 40% OFF UNTIL 25 JANUARY A sign its not selling as well, esp the upgrades?
  16. Anyone grab a few of these .. recommends
  17. Thanks @ZincT ... kybrd buddy of mine messaged me this article from 2017 on this software with some interesting tips and insights https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/jam-origin-midi-guitar-2
  18. @ZincT Just trying the demo too. Any tips to set this up so its at best performance? I found a few stray notes playing .. I have the latency down to 128 but not sure how other instruments in DAW may like that ...
  19. The one constant issue I find in flstudio is location of VST3 plugins CANNOT be anywhere else other than the default folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 If you have your VST3s anywhere else .. even if you add the alt folder to the plugin manager paths .. it wont find your VST3s Anyone find a solution to this?
  20. @ZincT That Jam Origin MIDI Guitar 2 sounds great. I had looked at it a while back but frankly forgot it ... I bet they had a BF sale too ( EDIT no they dont, they never discount it seems ) ... https://www.jamorigin.com
  21. NI site crash when trying to add this Freebie. Also Native Access not loading after adding account details to login ..
  22. In a nutshell its another synth basically? with guitar samples? Dont get me wrong .. most likely will still buy it When i saw it first I thought it might take input from actual guitar plugged into your Audio U/I .. so like the original you could play it with a guitar rather than a keyboard. And yes I know @ZincT mentions the Jam Origin MIDI Guitar 2 above as a way of using guitar as input/playing device. So in my head was a sort of mix tween Guitar Rig / Synth I realise of course the guitar back then came with the unit and was very modified to work with the unit.
  23. Interesting .. BUT I do still have Roland midi pickup for the guitar + the blue processor unit that i need to dig out wherever it is. Its old enough .. uses midi connections, no USB
  24. @Frank Yes I have full Kontakt 5, 6 and Kontakt 7 player all installed on same systems ( PC and Laptop ). All working fine. Just keep in mind that Vivace Legacy ONLY works in Kontakt 7 ( or Kontakt 7 player )
