Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

… Hmmmm... yeah... I can't tell if you're upset about that? Is the Optimizer useful as a standalone app? Yeah... well this guy is not always thorough obviously. I wonder if it's mentioned on the developer's site that Optimizer is not available as a plugin? Interesting about only AU and VST3. I see ...

Re: We need a project load dialog

It's been so long that I've noticed the spinning ball that I quite forgot we still get it. So I loaded a recent project and yep, still there and still spinning.

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

Yeah... this guy has a tendency to just dive in and review plugins that he really hasn't spent much time with. As a result, he sometimes misses features or how to use a particular feature. Something about this plug caught my eye. I haven't uploaded any new music to any of the services in a while, b...

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

I dislike his delivery — really, he should use his own "look-ahead" function and preview the app so that he gets more info out in less time. That said, there are a number of plugs that have this functionality. What this APU version does is bring a unique interface to the table. I like it a...

Re: Behringer 369 - Vintage Stereo Compressor Limiter

I bought some lightweight PA components for use at a gig a year and a half ago. Sound good? No. I haven't a clue how many of those "500 Peak Watts" are real but if it were 2 x 35W RMS @ 8Ω, I'd be surprised. Adequate for the gig and light enough that I could carry each piece? Yes. The room...

Re: The Upright from MusicalSampling $69 till June 18.

… Thanks for the link. In one of the demos, I was hearing quite a bit of smallish room in the sound. Are the samples fairly dry? Or were they recorded in a smallish room? I suppose that's one advantage to close-micing is that you don't hear the walls as much. … Based on the first demo, I never woul...

Re: Behringer 369 - Vintage Stereo Compressor Limiter

Not sure what's going on, but when I opened that image in a separate tab, one of the knobs on the image came off, and I could swear I saw smoke coming out from behind. I had to wiggle the jack to get sound out of the right channel. As soon as I closed the tab, everything was ok again. :) :rofl: I o...

Re: Acasis drive enclosure sale

Had never heard of https://www.acasis.com/. Thank you for that lead! Are they driverless, and do they have a solid multi nvme unit? External drives do not require drivers. They do show a couple of multi-NVMe units but are out of stock and promising new redesigned units. The issue with multiple blad...

The Upright from MusicalSampling $69 till June 18.

I have a lot of upright bass VIs and the one thing that most have in common is that I dislike them. This one is different and has a number of legato figures that I’ve already found useful. In addition, it has a selection of noises that you can add—pretty cool. Requires the paid version of Kontakt. h...

Re: Acasis drive enclosure sale

… I do wonder how much noise the enclosures with a fan makes? According to their marketing: TBU405 is base version (Tool-free Installation), while TBU405ProM1 (Tool-free Installation + Built-in Silent Fan ) I am thinking about getting another enclosure but am not thrilled by the current price on 8T...

Re: M6 monitoring IN SYNC both click from DP and live kbd

I’m not sure how to answer all of this… Not because I’m new to this (been doing this for over 30 years), but, well… OK… first off, the usual 3-5 milliseconds of latency are totally fine. Otherwise does any of the info I’ve already provided give a clue as to what’s going on, especially the part abou...

Re: Acasis drive enclosure sale

Not a plugin sale... but Acasis is running a pretty great sale on drive enclosures (NVMe, etc.). Way better prices than what I paid on Amazon not long ago: https://www.acasis.com/ I have an 8TB blade sitting in one of their TBU405 fanless enclosures. It normally runs slightly warm to the touch whic...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

All of a sudden, without me changing anything, Kontakt 7 (running under DP or standalone) claims that it isn't registered. When I open Native Access, Kontakt isn't listed there. When I enter my serial number, it accepts it, but it still doesn't list it among my products. I haven't changed OSX, DP, ...

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

I'm going to assume that you've deleted the Fastlane icon, correct? If not, do so and see if it rebuilds and is lighted. If more than one repopulate the space, delete all that are not lighted. I'll spare you the story where that worked. The Fastlane is still a supported interface, I think. If this l...

Re: AudioThing: Things: Fold dynamic wavefolder sale $9

https://www.audiothing.net/effects/things-fold/ The demo cleverly applied it kind of tastefully on different source material. The envelope follower makes it a much more useful thingy.
