I actually have the Melda convolution reverb from a group buy or as a bonus or something and it is good, I just didn’t remember it being part of the free bundle.

I typically use ReMatrix though for my convolution needs as I like the ability to run multiple impulses in parallel and it adds a modulation feature which can add a little something…Read More

I didn’t realize that Melda’s convolution reverb had a free version.  That’s good to know.

Anyway EchoThief has some unique impulses and are definitely worth a free download.

Are the impulses embedded or separate files?

A huge chunk of the Black Eyed Peas catalog qualifies.  Which is not surprising when you consider the original title of “Let’s Get It Started” (replace “It Started” with a rhyming slur for mentally disabled people which the forum won’t let me post here).

Not really a musician, but he did do a bunch of spoken word bits on other peoples albums.

I was doing laundry in Lawrence, KS where I went to college.  I struck up a conversation with an old guy who said he was a writer and started asking my opinion about a few things.  The guy seemed like a harmless eccentric.

A few days later I realized that g…Read More

I never got along with ST4 for some reason. Other than that, I find myself usually unimpressed by VIs with all-encompassing content. They have lots of instruments but they’re all shallow. No depth and only good for adding some background/nuanced texture or for sound design. Most of my mixes attempt t…

I use this same username on Cakewalk, NI, KVR, and The Gear Page.

For physical gear, it’s my Nighthawk and Boss GX-100.  Or my Jazz Bass.

For virtual gear,

Instruments:  Kontakt, Addictive Drums, MODO Bass, EZ Keys, Lounge Lizard.  IK B3 and Sampletron.  For Synth sounds, it can be all over the map.  Rapture has been a favorite over the years.  Absynth used to be a favorite but somehow being discontinued leave…Read More

@peter that’s not surprising considering we had a lot of the same inputs (WXRT, WLUP, etc)

My daughter loves “Stranger Things”.  I used that as an excuse to get her to listen to Peter Gabriel by way of “Don’t Give Up”.  Or any time a Tik Tok features a song from my time, I’ll play other stuff by that artist.

 

1. What country do you live in?

USA

2. What musical instrument(s) do you play and when did you start playing?

I started playing guitar in freshman year of high school.  Also bass.

I took piano lessons in 4th and 5th grades.  Every so often I start to learn again, but always seem to get distracted.

3. Do you sing?

I used to.  In high school my…Read More

@cactusmusic Is the same fury monster a reference to Wokiee? I did like him and he used to seem like a nice person.

A small group of regulars would make coded political, racist, and anti-LGBTQ references (they weren’t very clever in coding them) at Cakewalk Deals subforum and I called thm out in posts t…

I tried a lot of DAWS in days of the Cakewalk/Gibson bankruptcy.  There were a lot of things I liked about that Studio One, but editing was really awkward for me.

Surprisingly Bitwig was my favorite as it reminded me a lot of Project 5.  But I have a few issues with that one too.  It seems they are more interested in creating a modular en…Read More

In the past, these coupons have not always applied to major manufacturers.

That totally looks like someone ripped off XLN’s RC-20.

I remember in the 90s when Creative would post some new free SoundFont on the website and it would be one of the things I would look forward to.

Now, there’s not really much I use from the SF2 days.  There was one from the Hruska 8MB GM kit that I hold on to (and have converted to Kontakt) because I used it in a song once and haven’t been able…Read More

Also 1.6 update for full version which includes the new animator feature.

Typically I remember the 50% off on sounds coming in around February.

So far all I have seen is about a third off.  14.90 -> 9.99, 9.99 -> 6.99, etc.

That Reaper plugin to import Sonar projects seems to work pretty well as far as I have tested it.

I bought these a long time ago.  I don’t use Iris any more but these are pretty good.
