Thanks, I keep trying to wean myself off of Adobe but it’s tough, they’re not the industry standard for nothing! 🙂
William Heins replied to the topic BFD / BFD Player Expansion Packs Up to 78% off, Starting at $9 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I’ve been a BFD user for years and have never had trouble. To be fair I held off on moving from FXPansion to InMusic for quite a while so I probably skipped any issues during the change of ownership. I just picked up Marching Drums for $14….actually for about .34, I had some credit left at PB 😉
The only time I use something other than BFD is…Read More

William Heins replied to the topic The Long-Term Cost of DAWs Compared in the forum Analysis of Developers / Markets / DAWs / Plugins / Sample Libraries
One thing to remember is that you do not need to upgrade, you upgrade because you want to 🙂 You can run most any perpetual licensed app for 5 years and it’ll still do what it did when you bought it! I use Nuendo by Steinberg for my DAW….upgrades are generally $199 but there are periodic sales at 40-50% off. One nice thing about Steinberg, buy…Read More

Looks like they are updating some of their plugins and this is one of them. I like the Harrison stuff, I have MixBus 10 Pro but have held up on going to 11 🙂
William Heins replied to the topic What are your thoughts on AI in the music creative process? Is it good or bad? in the forum The Sounding Board
I have no use for AI in music, I’m able to do everything I want to do, I play guitar, keys, and drums…I mix my own material, etc….and sometimes a little south of perfect sounds more human 🙂 I don’t see the difference between people using loops and AI, either way YOU are not creating, just processing someone elses work! Using AI during…Read More
William Heins replied to the topic [not a deal] CbB no longer support activation after August 1 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I used Sonar for years starting with Sonar 8!
Somewhere around Sonar Platinum the program would forget my interface every time I opened it and I would have to reload it…I was on an Echo Layla3G so not a USB interface but I think they made changes under the hood for people having trouble USB interfaces and it negatively affected mine. Moved on…Read More

William Heins replied to the topic Not Deal – Wasn't expecting Sonar Free dealbreaker this early in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I switched from CbB(after switching from Sonar)to Samplitude for a bit. Samplitude blows it out of the water as far as capability goes but it was just awkward to use. Soon after a cheap crossgrade to Cubase came up and I started using that and took no time at all to get acclimated. A year or so after that I went all in and went to Nuendo. Now I’m…Read More
