I would gladly take on the vocals, but bass guitar, guitar, piano, synth, you name it — if you want to collaborate on these tracks, just let me know.

I wasn’t going to update right away because I think they pricing of newer libraries is too high.  Unlike Unify, the libs do go on sale pretty regularly for about half price though.  I decided to go ahead with the 2.0 upgrade preorder because most of the new features I am interested in will make the existing libraries that I own more useful.  I al…Read More

My family would be very unhappy if I turned speakers on or even attempted to play my drums or percussion — I suppose with the exception of my glockenspiel. So, consequently, it’s all MIDI controllers, electronic (MIDI) drums, and headphones for me from start to finish. And my hearing isn’t great, so I need everything loud to hear the various…Read More

I don’t like using headphones for two reasons.

#1)  I am facing windows (to outdoors) with my back to the door.  It’s bad enough when someone walks in quietly and startles me, but with headphones it’s guaranteed.  I am also a ham radio guy and usually am monitoring something on the side.

#2) It’s uncomfortable after a while, but I do check in ph…Read More

This totally appeals to me. I’d be interested in what others are doing regarding mixing. Are you mixing on monitor speakers or using headphones?

Well I appreciate your efforts @pseudopop! You’d think I would get in the habit of checking Epic every Thursday, but I need the nudge. 👌

Kiitos!

That’s 66.6% off, the number of the beast, for their Halloween sale. It’s interesting that a developer using the word “demon” in a product name saw a bunch of outrage, but the 666 sale doesn’t seem to get any reaction from the crowd.

That one went right over my head!  I didn’t “get” the 666 th…Read More

I really like this developer and have been posting about him for years. He’s really talented. I see that Sound on Sound recently gave this a stellar, 5/5 review and even used the phrase genius when referring to the developer. It was cool to see him get some well deserved recognition.

Looks like fun.  Are these guys first (this season) to use the “Black Friday” label?  $19 upgrade with sales tax included if you have the rest of the bundle. Insta buy for me.

The IK Group Buy is presently at 30 products for the price of 1 with 1,594 new participants needed to reach the next level and 18 days to go.

So now I’m caught in between the Elysia Karacter and the Vertigo VSS-2. I’d love to hear from anyone who has either. Also, if those vouchers are transferable, feel free to PM me a spare one guys! 🙂

If you use the $25 monthly voucher you can buy all 4 for $15.

I haven’t bought anything from them in a while and haven’t seen one of those vouchers in a while. I actually wasn’t sure that they still sent those out until your post. Darn! Now I’m jealous. I was doing a little research on the  Elysia…Read More

Also available for free from the Focusrite Collective. As a result, you can get it from KnobCloud for ~$10.

Is it currently available from Focusrite Collective? I own two Focusrite devices. If it is available, could you post the link, please? I’d love to grab it for free. Thanks!

I’ve been looking at the Elysia Karacter for 10 bucks. Any opinions on it from people who use it or demoed it?

If you filled out the UVI survey a couple weeks ago you should get a $20 off code (mine came today).  Brought this down to $79 and I couldn’t resist.  Love choral stuff, and the “Augmentation” treatment sucked me in.  Intro price ends Oct 12.

Got it for 69$ with…

Cool! AudioThing rocks, an awesome indie dev.  And I realy enjoy the composer / musician in the video above, who’se done some other demos for them too. I can’t recall his name, but I’ve enjoyed every demo that he’s done and watch them from start to finish.
