MockingQuantum posted:On the subject of drum software, what's everybody's thoughts on Liquid Rhythm? I'm a complete feeb when it comes to writing drum parts, so a non-traditional approach to it like this appeals to me, but it's hard for me to get a sense of how useful it'd be compared to anything else.

SoundToys released a free plugin a few days ago and now their website is broken. I managed to sign up for the free iLok account and register on the SoundToys site, but haven't been able to actually download 'Little Alterboy' yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt8pFK6fJk4 Here's the link anyway: https://www.soundtoys.com/sxsw2015/&rc=373-5594-211 And you can find a billion alternative codes on kvr: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6078235

Stupid question, but 'requires an iLok account' means that it also requires having the physical iLok key too, right? Because if so, drat... I lost mine years ago.

Earwicker posted:Yes that is what it means. gently caress iLok. Not any more. iLok now has a software solution that requires no physical key, and that's what this one is. It's basically like NI's Service Center. I also am not a fan of iLok, but you don't need the physical key for this. I don't have one, and I have already installed and used Alterboy.

Radiapathy posted:Never tried any East West stuff, but Best Service is an example of another publisher I wish to gently caress would have used Kontakt or the UVI engine. They have their own "Best Service Engine" which is based on the Independence sampler, and it is complete garbage. ugh I am dealing with exactly this poo poo right now. I got Era Medieval II which has some really great instruments but the Service Engine is a pain in the rear end and I can only get the freestanding version to work and can't find the VST or AU.

I just got curious about what a formant-based chorus would sound like, so I hooked the pitch and formant controls from Alterboy into one of the LFO modulators in Bitwig. Sounds quite nice, actually.

Does iLok run in the background all the time or is it fully like NI service station in that it runs, authorises, and then is never heard from again?

I've never found much problem with the EW sample player, but I've only really used it at my old job. And I think I'm the only person who's never used the Kontakt player  I bought the Kirk Hunter Emerald and Ruby orchestral sample set years ago, and foolishly bought the non-HDD, EXS24 version. I mean, it works and all, but from what I've heard, I would MUCH rather have both the Kontakt version.

I don't like the soft-licencer options that PACE/iLok, Steinberg/eLicenser, and Waves offer (where you put the license on your computer vs. a dongle), because they get invalidated if you change your hardware configuration, or if your hard drive crashes and you don't have a backup of the license. The thing is, unlike Native Instruments Service Center (which is my favorite activation method of them all), the iLok/eLicenser/Waves soft-license options are tied to your computer, not just to your user account. So, I use the dongles whenever I have a choice. It means I can dual boot between Win 7 and Win 8 on the same computer or reinstall an OS at any time without having to burn through activations. But it also means I have three loving dongles hanging off a dedicated USB hub right now.

Any recommendations for a cheap/free simple clean bass guitar VSTi? I have the amp VSTs and everything, so my only requirement is that it doesn't sound like dogshit and maybe has a bit of human-like variance to it.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but why do all these companies use activation methods that effectively punish people who actually legitimately purchase their product and want to use it legally? None of this poo poo prevents piracy, it just makes everything more of a pain in the rear end for their actual customers.

Everyone here already probably knows about this, but in case you don't, and want the Waves L2 Limiter, but don't want to pay for it, check this out: http://www.yohng.com/software/w1limit.html I used to use the L2 every single day in my old job (yeah, dynamics be damned), and now that I'm doing freelance work, this has done a great job in taking care of the same thing, and it still sounds great.

I know people poo poo on iLok stuff a lot, but I never really had any issues with mine. The worst plugin company I have to deal with is Waves imo. They probably have the least responsive support system ever. I changed out my hdd with a sdd not too long ago and in the process waves licensing center broke. I sent in a ticket months ago and never heard back

That's totally understandable. $50 is a ridiculous price for a replacement key. The only thing that I hate about iLok is having to use up a usb port for it. Especially when i'm on my laptop.

At my last job, I had the iLok and the Reason key (igniter?) on one of those, never a problem.

Works great, the only downside is having to carry a hub around in my laptop bag.

I would try a direct contact email to sales, for whatever reason their support ticket system is way slower than just contacting them directly. I do that whenever I have an issue and usually get an answer back in a day.

You would have to do the human variance part with some randomization in your daw though. I doubt anything in the free/cheap range would be able to do what you are after though.
