    I have in my notes that this crashes Kontakt. Can anyone verify/refute this?

    • 1 month, 1 week ago

    I just got through an email exchange with Jonathan at Embertone and I have to say I’m very impressed by his responsiveness. His company is on my “look here first” list when considering virtual instruments. I used his mountain dulcimer on a project and ran into some thumping issues during some hammer-ons. These appeared randomly so I had to bounce…Read More

    Yes, this is indeed a fantastic deal! The only reason I don’t jump on this is due to being on the IK Max Studio bandwagon and will get all the new stuff in the next update.

    I don’t use MAAT anymore because (unless something as changed) their choice of iLok protection requires you to be online each time you want to use their plugins.

    • 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    I’m looking for a plugin that will morph waveform A into waveform B. Let’s say I play a sustained chord on a guitar. I’d like to have it slowly morph into a sustained chord on a Wurly. You see this sort of thing with video. Is there a way to do it with audio? With all the AI stuff out there, I would think so. I envision a plugin with 2 inputs and…Read More

      When I’m doing a cover, I tend to crank it out super quick. I’ve finished some within an hour. I usually will have an idea in mind for how to arrange something and just record it. I’m done. If I were working professionally, it would just be a demo. When working on original songs, mostly written decades ago, I rely on memory to recall lyrics,…Read More

      I’ve certainly worked on several song ideas concurrently. In fact, one song can often generate an idea that doesn’t feel quite right in the current song, but can be used in a second song – and then there’s also the thing you’ve mentioned about not being sure of where to go next with the song currently being worked on, so you move to another one,…Read More
