dsteinschneider replied to the topic Waves Free Plugin Pack in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I wondered what all the WUP was about 🙂 – All my Waves plugins (most acquired for a fraction of the price or free) are working fine going back to 2018 without paying for updates. I did weed out some older Waves plugins that I wasn’t using.
I didn’t realize that they could stop working on updated or newer Mac’s.

dsteinschneider replied to the topic SSL Drumstrip $19.99 US reg. $199 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I find it’s gate works better on individual drum tracks to quiet down bleed from other drums that the gates included in mixer strips. The default preset on the drum bus with just a bit more “amount” for low end enhancer and high end enhancer improved punch and clarity. Transient shaper and mic listen compressor are on also but at default settings.

dsteinschneider replied to the topic SSL Drumstrip $19.99 US reg. $199 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I bought this the other day. I downloaded and tested it on our band’s rehearsal tracks. I have a template in Cakewalk that I import the unprocessed multi-tracks that our Soundcraft Ui24R can record internally. I have a drum bus that I applied this too and it was easy to improve the sound of the kick, snare and cymbals.

dsteinschneider replied to the topic Nembrini Audio Blackice Beta Gamma Bass Amplifier is $20 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
On today’s to-do list to demo this amp. I always viewed this amp as a just for modern (metal branch) rock but I think I need to play through it and see if it’s overdrive might be useful for more traditional rock. I usually use the PA Nembrini developed Ampeg B15N.

I’ve been running the FaderPort 16 through its paces with Reaper/ReaSonus, Cakewalk using MCU and Harrison Mixbus 10 using MCU. Then I decided to install the Studio One Artist v6 that was bundled with the FaderPort 16. I recorded a quick drum part into the BFD bundled with Studio One and then played tracks for bass, guitar one more midi track for…Read More

Figured it out – After manually choosing Options > External Devices > Add > choose manufacturer > model and then look on the right lower section (MIDI Channels) and drop down “Receive From” and it will present the MIDI devices present.

Studio One Artist V6 doesn’t detect my Emu XBoard. Any advice on this would be very appreciated.
All my other DAWs detect it no problem. Just installed Studio One Artist v6 that came bundled with FaderPort

dsteinschneider replied to the topic Not a deal yet: Scaler 3 announced in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
That was probably someone else who is a music educator.
I took several years of bass lessons from a guitarist who taught practical the application of theory, modes, chord substitutions, etc., to help students do a better job playing jazz standards. He was great because he recognized that I was in a rock band and would throw out examples of how…Read More

Had some PB virtual cash and user or Scaler 2 so $22 upgrade for me. I like the new version. I also use HookPad (HookTheory). It’s fun to experiment with different chord sequences.

I was in sales and deployment of software for sales and marketing mid-career.

I have many opinions on what has happened in the business software market since I started in 1983 but in summary it’s been much less than what it…Read More

Which forum do you think is the best for discussing the Tonex pedal. I bought the Tonex One and a Waveshare 4.3B and Chocolate v2 bluetooth footswitch. I was going to post some pictures and links to Gregg Smith who developed software to control the Tonex One from those devices.

Hi Peter,
Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for the thread alert email.

I bought it “on sale” for $40 and have been very happy with it. I needed that amp for some 60’s covers and it worked perfectly for that. I could now probably reproduce the sound in Tonex but with the Nembrini modeled version I have more control.

We considered ProTools but have decided to either go iMac Mini and Logic or stay on the PC and move over to Reaper. Happy so far Cakewalk by Bandlab but not confidant we won’t be forced to subscribe which isn’t happening. If you need “industry standardization” 🙂 a cheap Focusrite might be a good way to go.

Same here – most of my Cherry Audio were deals from here (or Cakewalk Deals forum) and the Humble Bundle. I needed a solid EP and Hammond that can run on an older laptop so I decided to do the $99 pick 3 deal this year. I chose the GX-80 as the third product. I also bought Lowdown a while back on sale.
