That must be really disappointing. I've downloaded the midi that was with the Orchestration video Spitfire put up and used it with my Miroslav Philharmonik 2 - doesn't sound anywhere as good as the one in the video made with BBC SO but at least it loads in less than a minute! Hope you get the problem resolved quickly

Good luck chaps - that Closure track sounds superb!

Wish I'd seen this thread and the discount code earlier!

Sorry Larry. I looked back but obviously missed your post. I hold my head in shame ?

Couldn't resist this especially with the free Loopmaster bundle! https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/4-Synth/5824-Union

Cheers!

Good luck - let us know how you get on. I still haven't got to grips with Garittan Personal Orchestra and Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE and they are goldfish in comparison ?

I'm not sure whether to feel envious or not ?

VSL have responded to my FB post saying I do need the USB so not sure how you guys have got it working ?

Mmm - the elicenser is asking for a USB key when I try to register VSL Big Bang so no luck. I haven't bought anything associated with this elicenser so is that the problem - ie the elicencer has only been used to try to get Halion SE to work (unsuccesfully)

Oddly when I updated through the portal the update was to 3.0.5!

Thanks all - I appear to have elicenser on my PC from when I obtained a free Halion Sonic Glockenspeil which I never managed to get working so I'd forgotten about it!) - it is now out of date apparently so I will update and see if it works!

If anyone does get Air Xpand 2 it might be worth being aware that it seems to prefer to sit on the system drive - may have just been a glitch on my PC but when I put it in my VSTi folder on my data drive it wouldn't work and I was advised to put it on C drive since when it has been fine. Hybrid is another good VSTi from the same stable but more suited to electronic music - can't remember if it is multi timbral

Got excited when I saw this in a Facebook add - until I went to the website and saw it needed a USB dongle ? Probably worth a look for those of you who have one already https://www.vsl.co.at/en/BBO

Ah thanks!

Another vote for Air Xpand2 here too - a really useful source of a wide range of sounds and some superb arpeggios and dynamic pads

Agree - I haven't used lenses or screensets properly yet and not entirely sure of the difference!

This thread prompted to check out my copy of UVI Workstation in CbB Firstly I opened an existing project - the GUI keyboard worked but UVIW didn't respond to midi key presses from my controller - I tried playing the track directly and also via a midi track routed to UVIW - neither worked. I closed CbB opened a new project and inserted a midi track & UVIW - again no response from UVIW. In both projects the midi meter was showing input from the controller. Very strange - any ideas? Also I looked to see if there was an update button anywhere on the UVIW VSTi or standalone and couldn't find one - how do you update to latest version? Mine is 3.0.0. I don't use it that often to be honest but it would be good to solve the problems and have the latest version. Cheers

Another useful video - thanks Mike!

I've just tried to use my loyalty points and the £5 off but it is either or so I don't think I'll bother - quite liked the sound of the Zero G Flamenco sample pack - at £13 it was worth a punt but not sure its worth £18 - I dare say there may be other offers in future ?

This might be the cause of an issue I have been having when a midi channel is sending notes to a synth that I haven't set as an output from that channel as well as to the one I have set. Doesn't happen all the time though and I haven't yet been able to determine the specific conditions when it does happen

Thanks Noel - I use onboard sound as just a hobbyist and run the music I compose through my hifi attached to the PC (I know the more experienced users will squeal at me ? and I must admit that after playing some synths at a local shop through proper monitors I could definitely tell the difference! ) I'm currently using ASIO4All and have found that works as well as I need it to including in terms of latency. Would there be any specific advantages switching to WASAPI? Thanks again for all you guys are doing with Cakewalk - glad I stuck with my Sonar 8 LE over the years so I had a bit of an idea what I was doing when I came over!

Wow it sounds great - I can see me using that in the piece I'm working on scoring a circuit of the TT!

Wibbles - are there any free patches available for Fathom? - I have downloaded the VSTi but haven't found any patches Ignore that just realised they are already loaded ?

A really good tutorial. After watching this a few days ago I watched all of Mike's tutorials!
