“use your email and create a login which you can change after I set it up” is just fine.

Sure! I can look thru a list of deals. I basically do that every day anyway.

I’ll prob wait until BF or if they have their usual summer sale.

….  I like seeing all the deals in one place, sure, but there are other places you can do that…..

Where else do you go for a list of deals?

I, for one, am interested to learn a little about business & marketing, especially your qualified & honest (ethical) takes on things happened in our niche world (music production tools & industries). Of course, keep it digestible & not too deep (i.e.: not overly too long).

I agree, except I don’t mind the…Read More

Very sad, but I understand.

I get a “page not found error” on the reddit link you posted.

Very nice! I’ll have to research him more.

I’m surprised at some of the toxicity percentages posted in your blog. Some are much too forgiving/optimistic. I’ve sensed the toxicity right away in some of those forums.

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

OK, OK, I changed my mind. Please enter me into the drawing.

Hyped? Have Audio Balkan Series anything. It’s loop-based and thus very limited. The VI doesn’t have enough range or articulations.

Don’t enter me in the giveaway as I already own the prizes. But I appreciate no egos and honest appraisals.

Finally, the Oberheim Bundle is 50% off.

Thanks, Peter. I did more research after I posted that and I also saw their clarification. Regardless, it’s still true none of the libraries I’m part of will allow submissions that have been stored on Soundcloud. It’s becoming quite the problem.

And thank you for your kind words about Isn’t She Lovely. We played that in our recital last semester.…Read More

I added my soundcloud URL but please understand it only contains demos of transcriptions I’ve made for my classical guitar ensemble class. I did no massing/humanizing of the timing/velocity of the MIDI (although I DID make sure the fingering is accurate up/down the neck and I used the correct articulations). They are not meant to sound real. But,…Read More

EastWest are so cheap now-a-days. In my mind a subscription for them doesn’t make much sense. The major cost will be the SSDs you need to house all the samples.

I don’t know. It sounds kinda creepy to me….

So cool! I loved them.

Oh, I see. I didn’t realize that was a totally different system. I’m not sure it’s worth the effort to customize it. But go for it if that’s fun for you.

That link didn’t work for me. This one does:

Yes, make it the same for ALL the forums, please. Or, make it different for ALL the forums. I seem to have a thing for order,  not chaos.

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

Congratulations!

Do it!

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.

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.
