Thanks Peter – I have sent the link to my partner’s son Robert who is using Virtual DJ in case it is of use to him

Pavlov ‘Columbo’ Cat ‘Just one more thing Mr Sample Logic – do you also go by the name of Mr APD & Mr Pulse?’

Thanks Peter – I should clarify I didn’t buy the 3 Duduks instrument just listened to the demo. It was ok but I think even Troels admitted that it capture the heart of the instrument whilst Duduk Virtuoso definitely does. I’ll hang off for a while and see if any deal appears in due course 🙂

Interesting – thanks Peter – I must admit I won’t even consider Sonar until they put out a perpetual license – that seems to be increasingly unlikely. I’m sticking with Cakewalk until it breaks! I can’t justify a monthly sub or a high purchase price for a perpetual licence and would likely look for cheaper options

Sorry to hear that Peter – I’m catching up with loads of stuff after holiday and unseasonal amazing weather here but will make sure I watch once it starts raining again!

It would probably have to be Vaughan Williams for me though closely followed by Sibelius, Pink Floyd and Home Service ( an English folk / rock / brass band formed in the 70’s and resurrected over the last few years – the original version was led by my favourite male vocalist ever, John Tams, who is also a very lovely man. They only have a limited…Read More

Interesting discussion – I had no idea Syntronik was discontinued either – I got Syntronik 2 on a Group Buy a while back for around £35 so not a massive investment but I would be sad to see it lost (not that I have done anything meaningful with it as my composing has been pretty much on hold since then due to limited time and even more limited…Read More

Done!

Ooh that sounds nice – thanks @jorge

@Peter-IK

I’d just like to place on record my thanks for your help on the Cakewalk forum over the years – great to see you here too!

I think Cat Mode actually has a future.

It wasn’t until the demo of cat mode that I realised it was an April Fool – it was still 31 March here in the UK so I wasn’t ready for it! I thought Troels had lost his mind!

I got caught by the Soundpaint one late last night!

Me too as it was still 31 March here – I thought Troels had lost his mind! The cat one gave it away in the end!

I have a lot of time for Crow Hill but I agree that there would have been easier and more transparent ways to have a sale – unless I missed it there was no way of seeing what the discount was until you posted the code and they even made that difficult by not providing it in a format you could copy and paste (well I couldn’t!)

I suspect they are…Read More

No worries! I never realised how complicated this stuff was! Added kudos to you for navigating it all!

Hi Peter – just a very minor suggestion – if possible I’d quite like a ‘Thanks’ button to go with the other responses – I used that at the forum that shall not be named 😉

So sorry things are going to be more difficult for you both in future – I am sure you will be a great support to your wife in her new situation.

Hope all goes well Peter.

We used both when I was at school but seem to have settled on centigrade thankfully!

Agreed – I had a very quick run through some of the sounds last night – the Cor Anglais is rather nice and is often an instrument ignored by other free orchestras – it is also one of my favourites. Solo cello sounded good too
