Brian replied to the topic The Best Service Website Is BACK!!! [The Deals are Back!!!] in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I added an edit to my post. They let me know 15 minutes after my email that it was fixed, and it is. I got the impression from a VI post from Best Service that they are working on getting all their data to sync in the next few days. Until then it looks like they have to manually sync per account.

My purchases after December 2022 are missing from “My Products” but everything is in “My Orders”. Importantly, the serials (including recent) are viewable by clicking the folder icon in “My Orders”. My “BestCoin” balance looks about right from what I recall. I sent them a note, but I am not concerned.

Brian replied to the topic The Ronroco by Guillermo Guareschi Original price: $29 NOW: $11.60 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I think you might be disappointed with it since you are not really interested in the sampled chords, etc. No up/down strums. Loot Audio has an info page here with some library details. I looked back and saw that I paid $7.50 to Loot and got a couple freebies to boot. I did a quick search and came across this Kontakt freebie that I didn’t che…Read More

You can always draw in your own chords. I do that a lot. You get more control over how the pick strokes the strings that way. Players don’t always strum evenly across the strings. I often accelerate during the stroke (I’m expecting lots of jokes now – get your m… -

I got this two years ago from Loot Audio when it was under $10. Sounds very nice. I checked and not currently on sale at Loot.

I’ll second @Peter‘s Resophonic suggestion, but I suspect offering slide play might be tough, or “limited”. I still think it would be worthwhile to sample a round-neck reso played “guitar style” fingers on the fretboard. The tone is pretty cool (I have one).

I am so not a lawyer, but it is under their liability section. I interpret the meaning to be that you can’t hold them liable for your using their software. If you create a tune using it and pay xyz to distribute it (first mistake), you can’t sue them to recover your expenditure to xyz.

I had TS Max 4 installed and upgraded to TS Max 5. Bear with me- That upgraded my T-Racks 5 to T-Racks 6. All my T-Racks 5 stuff is still named TR5-xxxxx.vst and only the new stuff for T-Racks 6 (I think ten maybe?) are named TR6-xxxxx.VST They all work fine. I assumed the naming was to keep the installer happy. Are you sure there is any diff…Read More

Brian replied to the topic Air "Stutter" Free at Black Octopus in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I had not tried yet but I just did and got the email with code immediately. You have to use the InMusic installer. I believe this is part of their AirFX 2 that came out last year. I would not put it in the RC-20 category because the controls are quite simplified, and there is no distortion (tape/tube model, etc). You can get “some” similar ef…Read More

I will stick with them because I have received good service from them over the years, and who doesn’t want to get a better deal? They absolutely screwed up by not saying SOMETHING on social media before (was it 5?) days went by. Certainly a reminder to keep copies of your serials.

I let one of the dev’s YT vids run until I was unimpressed with what output was generated from his one hour of training audio, which was reading a book. Also of note- he said training takes 3-5 days per model.

Installed the 30 day demo. My 20th vst with “verb” in the name (5 of those are Melda). I didn’t have Smart Reverb 1. I am curious what LMers think of this. I watched a sponsored YT and I like the idea of jumping around instances/tracks in the same UI and the “forward / back” placement approach over the usual verb-nerd adjustments.
