    fretman posted in the group Open Mic (Open Discussion)

    • 13 hours, 23 minutes ago

    Origin story – here is a portion of what I wrote for our local bluegrass club newsletter:

    Imagine you’re back in 7th grade and you’re going to your first dance in the mid-60’s. The girls are all over there. The boys are all over here. Everyone’s nervous. No one knows what to do or what to expect. And then the band starts playing. Luckily…Read More

    fretman replied to the topic 🆕 Introducing iZotope Tonal Balance Control 3 $129 or less in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals

    • 1 week, 2 days ago

    As iZotope keeps updating their existing products, their lousy pricing on the Music Production Suite (now at rev 8.5, I’m at 6.5) keeps getting more appealing. Maybe one more update and I’ll jump back in on their BF sale.

    • 1 week, 2 days ago

    Even tho AudioDeluxe has the 10% coupon (for now), they only have the $25 option to buy this. As best I can tell they don’t offer the $19 crossgrade offer that Plugin Boutique offers. The intro sale is valid until April 20, so there’s time to see how this all shakes out.

    I’ll probably get this just because I have all their other stuff. I have “a thing” about completeness. I think this puts me on The Spectrum.

    • 1 week, 5 days ago

    I have a lot of mixed feelings abut Neil. He’s written a ton of good songs, is apparently a difficult person to work with, but in the end he’s just a little too preachy for me.

    fretman replied to the topic What are Your "Go To" Sample Libraries & Plugin Instruments? in the forum Virtual Gear: Software, Sample Libraries, Instrument Plugins

    • 2 weeks, 1 day ago

    Context: most of my work is acoustic instrumentals, so don’t expect any synths from me.

    Drum kits: I end up using Addictive Drums 2 because they’re so simple to use, but I’m not a very good drummer. Maybe I should send my sketches to Peter.

    That video sounds like the accompaniment for an old silent movie. The lady is tied to a train track and, oh no! The train is coming. Can the hero get there in time?

    Use code “BOHEM_BASS_79” to reduce price to €79 (saving €20 off the pre-release sale price).

    I use the harp from their Celtic Instruments bundle a lot. It’s clean and has the softest sound I’ve found.

    It is my understanding Pigments is mostly useful for sound design. Correct?

    fretman replied to the topic Arturia V Collection X (not the latest version 11) – $99 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals

    • 1 month ago

    Supposedly the upgrade from X to 11 is $199, but it’s expected to drop to $99 for BF.

    Better than last year’s $350 BF price for buying 11 outright.

    I’m not a synth guy but, I don’t know, this is looking like too good to let go.
