Re: NI Irish

The Irish Harp was a freebie, I think maybe last holiday season 2022, so you got a free upgrade from a free product. :-)

This is an excellent collection. Some of the contained instruments are best in class in the sampling world so far.

Re: Using RX for Sample Rate Conversion with DP, HELP

Good luck. Just be aware that the documentation for Steinberg products takes some getting used to, and it can be hard to find things in the docs, but once you get a hang of their way of talking about things, and their workflow, it becomes second nature. It's also nice that they do an EXCELLENT job o...

Re: MOTU not exhibiting at 2024 NAMM?

I only recently noticed that NAMM is back to its original dates and location, so I didn't have time to prepare ticketing as I am now on the east coast, but I meant to check whether vendors who previous pulled out (such as Yamaha) are returning this year, and I wonder if the rates have gone way up to...

Re: Softube Central continually not finding licenses

I was having this problem for a while, but not recently. Sometimes that app is slow to find things, especially recent purchases, but I think also it sometimes reports false errors, as I've seen plug-ins authorize and pass validation that their license manager app said it couldn't find. I reinstalled...

Re: Using RX for Sample Rate Conversion with DP, HELP

Hmm, I'm trying to think if this relates to issues I had with RX SRC, where I think I gave up and did a manual process with re-import into DP, but the bigger issue I faced, which may not be fixed (not sure which side the bug was on) is that the SRC-ed track would often have incorrect time scale for ...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

In the old days, Sweetwater pushed DP fairly heavily and it showed up in a lot of ads, I think including Mix Magazine and other pro audio publications. Those days are long gone, and Sound-On-Sound treats it as a second-tier DAW in terms of frequency of coverage. And yet, other DAW's that were consid...

Re: Finale 27.4 ships, many issues resolved, last day of upgrade sale.

Yikes, that's a shame that the Windows update is a backwards step regarding the PDF fonts. I just read the review now, and it's a mixed bag, but I am downloading the update now. At this point, for jazz work, I have switched completely over to Dorico as I get better lead sheets from it than from Fina...

Re: Finale 27.4 ships, many issues resolved, last day of upgrade sale.

Thanks for that link; the email I received was mysterious in that it wasn't clear what was in the 27.4 update or whether it was free for current owners. This link answers both questions. Due to the late hour, I'll wait until tomorrow to log in to download it.

Re: RIP Ghobish (AKA Gary Hobish)

Yikes, that is a sad shocker. I haven't been in as regular touch with west coasters since my unexpected east coast transplant, but had seen Gary's return to the forum recently in several posts and assumed he was doing well. This sounds like a tragic accident and unrelated to any health issues, so I ...

Re: Gen 4 Focusrite Scarlett

I've been too busy to comment on this thread, but have been wondering if anyone has seen any hints that the Clarett range might get updated soon. Seems unlikely given that Gen 4 was just released. The Clarett+ has not been updated since it came out in Sept. 2021, superseding the 2015 Clarett series...

Re: Sonoma compatibility

On the other hand, if they did it for Windows, their identifier for code-switching may not recognize however Sonoma marks itself, so there's a possibility some of the code is trying to operate as though on Windows. This was a big problem when Apple switched the naming convention for the OS as no pri...

Re: Sonoma compatibility

Although I don't recommend going to Sonoma this early, on a matter of principle, the "double-click" on menu might be by design as there seems to be an unfortunate new UX trend in that regard, which I'm noticing on some of my work apps on Windows at the office.

Re: InMusic fires large portion of Moog staff

Oh, so that's the reason Numark and Denon stopped making pro audio gear? I forgot they're part of InMusic now.
