Lol, my post has disappeared.

Anyway check out Rick Beato video where he talks about AI in music

Lol, I guess that really depends on good for whom?
For businesses/people who don’t want to have to pay for creative talent? – good
For people who don’t have the dedication to learn how to play an instrument – good.
For artists who don’t want to take the time to master their craft – good.
Etc.

For any else in the arts trying to make a living using…Read More

I don’t know about jacked but “Full” prices look like they’ve been raised $10, sale prices at a glance look $4 to $6 higher than last sale in June.
Could just be inflation.

For example today
Addictive Drums 2: Dead & Dry Collection
Full Price: $169     XLN Audio Sale: $101.40

Per ht…Read More

It turns out I own more of their stuff than I remembered.  I have not had any of it installed for some years.  My installer backups are dated December 2016 so I must have gotten a bundle during sale season.  I don’t recall any issues with Windows 10- I would have been…

I love my mk I Elgato Stream Deck. And I can highly recommend it.

I can’t remember where I bought it, but it was more expensive than this price.

I mainly use mine to control macros in Studio One 7 Pro, and it’s a great time-saver.

All the best.

Did they ever have a sale?

I don’t recall ever seeing a sale on this.
I bought it after comparing the alternatives on a particular guitar shredding video. YMMV but with the clip I tried it had the most ‘clarity’ on the individual notes at slower speeds + the video stays connected.

I bought this (Streamdeck not in my current budget)
VSDINSIDE Macro Keypad, Stream Controller Deck Gaming Streaming Shortcut Keyboard, 18 Programmable Keys for $40.79

it is supposed to arrive today (Prime Day ends tonight).
I will post a quick review if it does.

Since I mentioned Ohmboyz Infinity in the previous post,
here’s the associated video:

Checked prices

$119 USD Intro(?) price  – List (regular price) is shown as $237.00 USD
Crossgrade – $95.00 USD (wow)

$131 USD crossgrade for both Ohmicide S + Ohmboyz Infinity**
**crossgrade for Ohmboyz Infinity alone is $95.00 USD

I don’t understand.

Why would I buy a discontinued product?

Wrong question.
The correct question is: Do I have a use for this plugin or bundle now or in the near future?
If not – save your money. Buying plugins is a poor investment strategy.

Discontinued means that there will be no further updates not t…Read More

These plugins have been around for awhile and have a good rep.

Here’s a review from Sound On Sound.
https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/sonnox-restore

Note: PC only, 64bit VST2 (no VST3)
Does not support external sidechaining – which is a real shame, for me that makes this plugin 90% less useful.

If you’re just looking for a freebie that handles hipass/lowpass/saturation that handles sidechaining with a decent GUI:
Filtron – Polyverse Music

Cons: higher CPU usage…Read More

I wonder if they were brought down by a data loss event (hardware failure, ransomware event, system hacked, etc.).
Many companies think they’re covered – that all they have to do was restore their most recent backup and rebuild from there only to discover

1. Their backup data was not readily accessible.
   Because of its size (terabytes) their online…

I’d love to have one of these but even $1399 is too pricey for my budget

As a developer – the problem with issuing a generic discount codes (not tied to specific accounts) that are not usage limited (E.G. only X number of uses grant the discount) is that it can be easily abused – such as someone posting it in a public forum.
And when that happens you’re pretty much SOL.

Granted in spite of multiple safeguards mistakes…Read More

No voucher for me…

On the other hand I paid $99 for Vocalise 3 on Aug 13, 2022 so not really a surprise.

Thanks.  It’s nice to have several of these kinds of plugins in your toolbox so that you can mix & match as needed.
