Welcome, it’s great to have you here, @Musio / Mike!

So everyone is aware, Mike and I didn’t know each other until I reached out to him on his Discord this morning and hit it off. Although I’m a Musio customer, we’ve never interacted before. Considering how much I enjoy his company’s libraries, I’m especially excited to see him as part of our…Read More

… at’s a fantastic deal for the Lifetime Deal buyers. I did not expect that. Considering that you bought the lifetime deal, I am guessing this makes you pretty happy. Is that right, @bluescat?

Yes, I definitely think they did “the right thing” to treat us “early supporters” fairly.  There is discussion a…

Musio has reworked their subscription to include all the third party offerings for $150/year sub (Audio Ollie, Project SAM, Sound Iron…) as “Musio+ Complete”.

The DEAL here is for those that bought the “everything forever” bundle for $499 a couple years ago.  You should have a license update in your account to include…

@jude77, I would love doing a Zoom group. We can even do a special forum dedicated to it if we can find enough people interested. I’m so tied up from working on the site, I would love it if someone else could take the lead. But I can do things to h…

@bluescat The customer/musician side of me wants Fender to maintain the Presonus name for all of this stuff. But the business side of me understands that it’s a lot more efficient to brand everything Fender. For me, the bottom line is that Fender is clearly continuing to invest in the products we once called — or still call — Presonus. I think,…Read More

@bluescat, well, though not ideal, Interaxon’s brainwave-sensing Muse headbands exist. E.g. they work in Ableton Live through a couple of apps and Max for Live devices.

@bluescat Thanks for posting those insights. It is interesting how many guitarists we have.

And, gosh, I completely forgot about doing a demo, I absolutely need to do a demo of this. The reality is, even if I love it, I’d still wait until there was a super great deal to buy it. We all know UJAM deep discounts just about everything (although, they…Read More

@bluescat and @fleer When you guys get it, please post your thoughts. As hard as it is for me to do for a Wurly, I’m not going to get it until I see a killer deal.

@bluescat I did catch the UJAM announcement of their Wurly plugin. Of course, that got my attention — you are correct, sir! Right now I have several Wurly Kontakt libraries, Sampletank libraries, two Wurly sample-based plugins. But the reality is, not many of them capture the great dynamics of a real Wurly very well and I wonder if UJAM is…Read More

Great deal.  I got the Charango a while back and it is certainly worth the $9 by itself.

Thanks for weighing in (AKA enabling my sample library hoarding!), @bluescat. That’s good enough for me for $9! I have contemplated buying this developer’s libraries before, as the demos sound really good to my…Read More

… @bluescat — if you can DM me your referral links and codes for SoundPaint, 8Dio, United Plugins, and Melda,  …

No way Peter! Besides, I already have more plugs than I will ever use.  Thanks for keeping the lights on 🙂

I thought this was a lite version of Majetone’s product:

https://majetone.com/products/truck-drums

It all starts with a dashboard used as a drum or Brian’s cymbal gizmo in a car and leads to truck drums (which I do own and love — except for the crash cymbal mapping). Consider them gateway drums. (…Read More

Thanks @bluescat

Will be interested to see how well the AI stuff works. I will probably upgrade but might wait to see if the upgrade price is reduced in the annual sale they have nearer Christmas.

The fact that Musio got aboard some superb indie sample developers like SoundIron and Project Sam is a huge win. @bluescat, considering that Musio has released new libraries beyond Musio 1, which the lifetime deal customers received, plus the fact that these very high-quality sample developers are aboard is a great sign that they believe in the…Read More

I think it’s hitting me harder because of my tendency to be long-winded. Not putting myself down, I just like to write, so I do. My replies can turn into articles/editorials. And I love talking about my favorite gear.

Whether anyone reads it (all) or not, hey, whatever, but I do put effort into it, from my end it’s not just “jibba jabba.”
