On my Mac, it installed TrueVerb and removed every other Waves plugin. Installing the other plugins LOOKS like it works, but then they're not there. Hooray, thanks Waves. Totally worth it for the copy protection though, because god knows you can't find your poo poo pirated all over the internet.

I am un-loving happy about this Waves Central poo poo. I decided to go for it, with the understanding that I'd have to re-install all my poo poo. But the installer never asked me where I wanted my files to go and put over 1GB of files onto my C drive. I don't install any plugins or apps on my C drive; they all go to my G: drive. I tried moving the poo poo manually but it is NOT working out well so far. This actually seems to be a recent trend; a lot of companies that USED TO let you choose where to install stuff are just forcing everything onto your system drive. What in the hell, guys?

How's everyone feel about Synthmaster? Demo has been fairly impressive, but it's one of those things where I feel like I might already have it covered with Komplete.

Is there anything in the current NI sale that's likely to be eligible for upgrade pricing when Komplete 11 comes out?

They have a separate $100 off sale on Komplete Kontrol keyboards now that runs until Jan, and those are crossgrade-eligible too. (In addition to including a pretty sweet subset of Komplete instruments for free).

This may be old hat to everyone, but I just found out that One Small Clue's Grace Sampler became free somewhere at the end of 2014. Win VST 32/64 bit. Hadn't heard of it before, but I've been looking for a good free sampler for yeeeeaaaars. And everything just desperately wants to compete with Kontakt on features while all I ever wanted was to load one or two single samples across the keyboard and have a couple of envelopes and filters at hand. To basically simulate a sample slot in the trackers of yore or the simple sampler device in FL Studio. Some DAWs are gonna have something like it built in, but not Cubase. Sure you can do some basic keymapping in Grace if you need it, but it isn't rammed down your throat or make the interface look like it was made by an ant with an attention disorder. This, I like this:  No bullshit. Had to look up that you need to hold alt to set modulation depth, the rest points itself out really. e: mmmh okay it isn't exactly light on cpu e2: Oh, good lord, forget about it, it doesn't do loops properly. It attempts to snap to zero crossings without a way to override. Even for samples with loops in already. And goes wrong (clicks) when using single cycle samples. Bah.

I just made the grave mistake of trying to update my z3ta+2 installation. Here's the rundown, addressed to Cakewalk on twitter:quote:Dear @CakewalkInc, I am currently having a bad consumer experience with you guys In summary, back up your user presets before you update.

And if my experiences with Cakewalk are any indicator, their response will inevitably be "it's your fault/we don't care/buy our next thing/gently caress you".

I used various iterations of Sonar for probably ten years. There were bits of it I liked, but there were problems with the software that literally went unfixed for that entire ten years while they released a new version every year that was essentially the old version with a new skin on it. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I installed a paid update that broke Quicktime support...when I was halfway through a project where I was scoring a video that was in Quicktime format. When I called them and said "hey I just paid you for an update that broke your poo poo, what do I do?", their answer was "Convert your video to another format, that's not our problem. We might get that fixed in the next full release or we might not." I wasn't kidding, the answer to "I just paid you to break my poo poo" was pretty much "it's your fault/we don't care/buy our next thing/gently caress you".

We might get that fixed in the next full release or we might not." I'm REALLY thankful that, in my last job, I also had Reason 6 and an actual, honest-to-god commercial license for Reaper, that I suggested the company get. Once they did, it was like 'Welp, gently caress YOU, Sonar!!'. We had been using it for years (and the other composer/sound designer still was, since he didn't mind it), so we had a few templates set up through it that would work with our hardware (we produced slot machine games and the actual machines, too), but I was able to replicate all of those templates through Reaper in less than a day. ALSO, there was this weird bug that Sonar was putting out when you would have a multichannel wav file that, if it had silence on any one of the tracks, then all of the tracks would get screwed up when it was converted to .ogg with another program (because Sonar didn't support .ogg export). Reaper handled everything about that with ease  EDIT: Oh my god, I just remembered midi editing with Sonar, and it feels like a painful war memory.

Yeah, Reaper was what I moved to as well. Nowadays it's mostly Bitwig, then Logic for video projects. I still use Reaper from time to time. My biggest complaint about Reaper is just that they need to get someone in there who's good at UI design; the overall look of the software, the MIDI editor, and the routing stuff could all be WAY more pleasant to work with than they are.

I'm p sure I've babbled on about how much I love Bitwig in this thread before, but I'ma just say it again: it's the nicest DAW to use that I've ever owned. It still needs to add a few features and improve in performance before it's the end-all be-all for me, but it is so pleasant to work in that I basically only use one of my other DAWs when circumstances force me to. Nowadays that's basically when a project requires video, an effect I only have as an AU (god dammit Sinevibes), or > 16 or so huge Kontakt instruments.

Which hardware is their hardware? I didn't know they were making any. I'm using it with a Saffire Pro 48. Other than my little Arturia controller, pretty much everything else runs through that before it talks to Bitwig.

I like it a lot too, the plugin sandboxing has saved my rear end a few times. I wish NI controllers were better integrated with it, but I just need to get off my rear end and mess around with their controller scripting stuff.

Yeah I haven't messed with that side of it at all. Truth is I probably use 1/10 of what it (or any DAW) is capable of, because I mainly just plug in a guitar, mic, or keyboard and hit "record". I mean I do a bunch of really complicated songs with a zillion instruments and whatnot, but I do almost all of it in the DAW itself instead of in the controller.

This is like me, except I keep not messing with all of the features that Logic Pro (9) has. In fact, just the other day, for the first time ever, I made a drum beat a groove template, and then used flex time to time up the guitar to it. I was doing a quick thing for Fiverr, and let me tell you: doing work for someone you don't know really lights a fire under your rear end to explore poo poo like this, in order to get stuff done ASAP. I need to know more Logic tips, I've been using it since around 2007, and while I can easily get work done, features like Flex time just blow me away. It was there the whole goddamned time! (since Logic 9)

I use a Kontrol 49 and a Maschine for what's probably a similar workflow. They work just fine as generic controllers, but if you want to use any of the integrated features you have to have an instance of Maschine running inside of Bitwig.
