If you guys are interested, on the non-public part of the site, I’ll share the horror story of what led to me finally closing the forum and OPEN MIC and candidly, it may mean that I won’t be posting anymore beyond the blog and keeping up the lists.

CURATED BEST FREE LISTS: Kontakt Libraries,

It is simply a ice place to relax, checking the latest news. Everyone is easy going and focused on music. Although Peter created this, with some help of course, but its also the community that makes LinkedMusicians what it is.

Congrats Peter! Already one year!?!?! Incredible! You did a stellar job puting this together. Thanks!

Yes they are prog. In a similar style as ELP’s Tarkus. Spartacus is a concept album that you listen from start to finish. A musical journey or prog rock opera. I really enjoyed Triumvirat back in the days and still listen to them once in a while.

Thanks for the tip. I was not sure I needed more plugins, but couldn’t pass up getting in at the $99 level with just $30 out of my pocket!

I will finally get some Tonex stuff to get with my amplitube (I was on CS only) and the new T-Racks 6 (I was on T-Racks 5). Cool upgrades. Now I need to figure out a couple of Pianoverse models which are the…Read More

More info:

The free version of Wave Breaker is fully functional and includes the Clarity One limiter model. The paid license unlocks the advanced limiter models, PeakMaster Pro and Clipper X.

Any free stuff from Soundtoys is always nice!

Based on what you wrote, it appears that you’re a Windows user.

Yep, I am on Windows. So less impacted then…

Hum, like most everyone I don’t like and don’t pay for WUP. But that has never stopped me from using Waves plugins. Unlike a subscription, not paying for WUP does not render your plugin unusable. Waves plugin do not get upgrades that often and not taking WUP does not seem to penalize me in any way. I still use older version of some of their plugin…Read More

I have a few of their freebies but haven’t used them…

Control was one of my top 10 on playstation. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and gameplay of this game. I highly recommend.

Luna lacks ARA support, which makes working with Melodyne more difficult.

Nope, nothing works for me. What is the plugin anyway?

Thanks! I would have probably missed this otherwise.

For older Focusrite product, only Ozone 11 is available, not the Klevgrand stuff unfortunatly. 🙁

Thanks for the tip! Scaler 2 for 10 bucks is a pretty good deal.

For me the update appeared in SSL download manager. Thanks.

TesslaSE mkIII – Analog Style Signal Enhancer

TesslaSE is all about analog-style signal colouration effects and taking them from the analog to the digital domain. It slightly colours the sound, polishes transients and adds depth and dimension to the stereo fi…Read More

Nice! Thanks Larry.

Wow, this is the first time I hear about Zinstall. Seems very handy indeed.

@bapu Would it transfer licenses to a new computer or we still have to unauthorize and re-authorize everything?

When my kids were young they of course went through that phase where they think there is a favorite kid. And at that time, jokingly, I would call all of them my favorite to laugh at the situation.

My kids are in their thirties now, but I still tell each one of them that they are my favorite regularly. And sometimes they answer that it isn’t nice…Read More

And we thought the Cakewalk/Sonar/Next launch was confusing! It seems there are not the only ones with bad marketing. 🙄 What is this world coming to! 😉

Strangely enough, I was thinking of going to Studio One since Sonar is subscription only (at least for now), but it feels like out of the frying pan into the fire!

It took me a while to understand. At first I thought you were getting this special price if you paid for 6 months of subscription. But it seems you get the perpetual license for $99 AND a free 6 month subscription to the rest. Almost too good to be true and I am still trying to figure out what is the catch. This is half price of the perpetual…Read More

Looks great and professional. Thanks @lamia6!

That is quite a throwback! I love the Tubes, but always felt like nobody knew them. We played ‘White Punks on Dope’ in one of my band’s school gig in ’79. I had convinced my bandmates to include it in our setlist even if it was a bit obscure for the audience. But they liked it, so we went with it. One of the rare song I was the lead singer……Read More

Well, Version 5.8.1 no longer shows the CPU performance issue on my MAC, using Reaper to check its performance.

Used to use 4% of CPU, now it’s only half.

There are some issues but this one was the MOST important of all, from my POV.

Still, who is gonna argue that taking more than a year to fix it, or more, it’s an ok thi…

@BlackJackSchellac I know I’m off topic, and maybe it should be a personal message, but it just hit me that Zo isn’t here. Can you or someone who knows him invite him?

I saw them in Montreal last year. They had played many new songs from this upcoming album. Alone was the opening song for the show. It was a great evening.

I have always used my real name: Jacques Boileau or at least jboileau in the few forums I have been on until this one. For a change I decided to use a nick name I was given by a bandmate: Blacque Jacque Shellacque, for this forum.

For those who don’t know, Blacque Jacque Shellacque was a character in a couple of Bugs Bunny episode. He was a…Read More

AAS is a cool and very generous developer. I don’t always love their sounds, but they are just super cool to deal with from a customer standpoint, in my experience.

I find that forum posts are easy to read with good contrast. But for the wall and activity the lack of good contrast makes it harder to read, to the point where I will go to forums instead because it is easier to read. I think that gray text on a lighter gray background is harder to read.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>It works great Peter! I have been using it with success. The only thing I probably would do is change the color of the icon a little bit, like a softer gray for read to make it even more distinguishable at a glance. In fact different colors could also be used since the letters makes it ok for color blind…Read More

How long before we go “public”?

Is it just me or the edit for comments does not work properly. When I click edit on a comment the buttons changes and I can cancel or save but I can’t edit the text.

Canada

2. What musical instrument(s) do you play and when did you start playing?

Guitar and a little keyboard. I started when I was 10-12 years old

Yes, but I am unsure anyone would call it singing! 🙂

Thanks for your hard work.

If you mean the left blue bar in the title that turns grey when you read a post, then it doesn’t seem to work for me. I tried the mark as read and there is momentary animatin beside it to show it working, but all the blue bars stay blue. I am using the site in white mode if that has any impact.

This has a nice déjà vu ring to it.

NOW this place is starting to feel like home! 🙂

Is there an easy way to see all unread posts from all subscribed groups in one easy command? Similar to the other forum’s ‘Unread Content’ and ‘Mark site read’ commands which I found to be a quick way to see what is new since I last logged in… which is usually not long ago enough but still…

I already had it, but this reminded me to look if there where a newer version which there was! Thanks
