Comparison page between Music Studio and Pro X6 https://www.magix.com/us/music-editing/samplitude/samplitude-music-studio/version-comparison/#c1426209

Like me you might have picked up Samplitude Music Studio recently enough on a Humble Bundle. I noticed it was an older version ( about 2018 ) and had a look for a newer version on Magix site. Here it is for $49 bucks .. upgrade to Samplitude Music Studio 2022. Includes a load of plugins and samples / soundpools https://www.magix.com/us/music-editing/samplitude/samplitude-music-studio/

Yip: 83% off for the 4 - https://audioplugin.deals/acousticsamples-4-in-1-guitar-bundle/ 82% off for the 4 previously at VSTBUZZ - https://vstbuzz.com/deals/82-off-the-acoustic-samples-guitar-bundle-by-acoustic-samples/

32 bit only?

Dont forget the very capable GRACE sampler - FREE 64 bit. https://www.onesmallclue.com Scroll down the page. Also there you have FREE Poise: Percussion Sampler

@azslow3 Belated Thanks for this BTW. Works enough to get CW projects direct into Reaper. As I said my band scattered across world are using REAPER to bridge the platform thing, some use Macs, others PC ( PC users use CW ). I noticed it does bring across extra tracks and folder tracks etc, as you said I think its to do with busses etc? Any way i wonder of just getting across track per track .. keeping it simple

Reason needs somebody like BANDLAB to take it over and make it free, similar to CW Otherwise it is going to die TBH. These numerous offers are not being taken up much I imagine and smacks of desperation

There also is the FREE version, still useful https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-kotelnikov/

Rather than sifting through the unorganised pages at that link just go to THE SHOP menu up top and filter by instrument types, format etc. To see just VSTs go to Format/VST AU AAX All the prices seem to be full and discounted https://audioplugin.deals/format_type/vstauaax/

@paulo RUSH reply to Nandi on twitter

@paulo A prodigy .. to play Tom Sawyer like that. I have worked with many drummers through the years who would have said er .. no Just love the facial expressions

Yip @paulo saw that too .. excellent

Lads I am blown away. Tonight I was on twitter and up came a tweet from this young girl called Nandi Bushell ( https://twitter.com/Nandi_Bushell ). In it she linked to this youtube vid of her perfectly playing along to a difficult drumming track "TOM SAWYER" and doing it absolute justice. Neil would approve I think. And wait for it ... SHE IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD This one is for you Professor Peart. I wanted to try a @rush song that would really challenge me. I watched an interview were the Professor said Tom Sawyer 'remains so difficult to play'. So I thought I would give it a try. It's actually really fun to play. I really hope I have done the song justice, Professor Pearts' playing is incredible. I hope I got the strength and smoothness balance right. I have a new found love for RUSH now too!

Just picked up Vangelis Tribute II '90s Revival Stranger Synths Synthwave 2085

Ah so that might be the reason. I was logging into IK Product Manager to do some updates this avo BUT its accepting the credentials and then the circle of dots whirls around, eventual error might not have proper internet connection, cannot access ... erm I do .. Gigabit Broadband

@ZincT Yip I would be the same. Spent alot of time at MYST and had to stop gaming in general, was addictive .. 3 in the morning addictive I stopped gaming about 20 years ago and have none installed BUT I like the size relatively of MYST and will dip in have a look again, see if I can be more disciplined Other game that caught me was RETURN TO CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN https://store.steampowered.com/app/9010/Return_to_Castle_Wolfenstein/ I am a big fan of the arcade simpler games from 80s, 90s and do occasionally run them in emulators on PC ( Dosbox )

@ZincT Agree with you. I just flagged you with a smilie ... as they say over here a bit of "divilment" ( said with Irish accent ) I did get the MYST deal though for < €9 .. I have some of them in boxsets/sleeves unused ( Sheldon moment ) .. I dont generally play games anymore for a long time, found i was spending too much time at them, but wouldnt mind dipping into MYST now and then, really liked that "universe"

Strangely .. it seems to have resolved itself. Turned on laptop about 20 mins ago. Loaded Ableton 11, all quiet on the western from. Ill take that and wont jinx it

Yes @abacab .. installed it, no difference

Interesting that its just ableton - I have 10 and 11 installed. Cakewalk, FL Studio, Reason, Reaper, Samplitude and likes of Soundforge, Vegas etc all fine, no issues My system is a Dell Inspiron laptop 17" with 16GB Ram, Core i5, 2TB Samsung Evo 870 SSD, Nvidia Card with 4GB

Yes .. I am concluding that Ableton doesnt like laptops particularly. I dont have this issue on a desktop of have with lower spec memory and HD ( mechanical ) wise

@abacab It seems its been widespread for a long time. Lots of owners with various system specs having this issue and no real resolution, just tough luck it seems. I looked across many "solutions" .. generally none work for most OR only temporary. Its languishing on my system now and as much as I like to try it now and then, just too much noise the minute its opened. Every other DAW, all other software on system no problems like this, just ableton.

In my case I find ABLETON 10 and 11 are the only Daw i have that sends my system fan nuts. Apparently its a thing for many for a good while, unresolved. Core i5 dell inspiron, 16GB Ram, 2TB Samsung Evo 870 SSD, 4GB Nvidia card
