    Looking for comparison video/audio of Seventh Heaven vs. Reverberate 2

    You want a reason? My first Mac was essentially destroyed by PACE software and forced me to spend $3K to replace it. And this was when I was working for an audio company that had purchased a contract with PACE to use their copy protection software for our software. And when I, as a developer...

    Looking for comparison video/audio of Seventh Heaven vs. Reverberate 2

    I have not, as I’m still extremely reluctant to start down the path of allowing iLok software onto my computer. Several times now I’ve thought I was ready to give in, only to always change my mind at the last minute, and so to this day my studio Mac remains blessedly free of any PACE software...

    Guys I found a way to beat GAS

    Here’s one cure for GAS, for Mac users in particular: stop upgrading your version of MacOS. I’ve stopped at High Sierra for an unrelated reason (specifically, concern about my Lemur controller potentially not working with newer OS versions), and as a result this year I’ve ended up not making at...

    Big changes coming to Pianobook

    Favorite Spitfire Original?

    Wow, that Originals Flutes demo is really, really wet … like mostly room sound and/or reverb. Hard to hear the actual sound of the instrument(s). In any event, I‘d never purchased AFK because Irish flutes and similar non-orchestral flutes are one of the instruments that I don’t see much of a...

    Does playing an instrument make you feel better when sick?

    My most common type of illness includes a loss of hearing acuity (frequency response at least, and sometimes even pitches are off), and in fact I have inner ear pain from hearing even a moderate volume of sound during such episodes … so I’m afraid playing an instrument is the opposite of...

    Lemur EOL, removal from app stores in September

    The latest news is this: MIDI Kinetics has just announced the acquisition of Lemur. There’s still no word on when or even if the Lemur app will return to any of the App Stores, but for Lemur users it seems worth tracking the progression of this. The full announcement is on their website’s front...

    Composing in a DAW vs on paper

    When I have the time, I try to write the most important cues on “paper” … which in my case means in StaffPad. That seems to lead me to more authentic orchestral arrangements. Once I have those important cues laid out and the themes therein defined, I usually have to head for the DAW in order to...

    TouchOSC Question

    I suspect one part of your problem is that TouchOSC doesn’t appear to have a label built into its buttons, whereas Lemur does. So you can’t do it as easily in TouchOSC.

    I agree that this will probably be the best option once Lemur is out of the picture. But it is limited by the capabilities of the web browser that must be used to operate it. That, plus the need to do more programming than is necessary with Lemur (as you mentioned), and the need to have a...

    CSS (Cinematic Studio Strings) Won't Play Unless I Move CC11

    i have a similar problem with CSS fairly regularly in Logic Pro X 10.4.8 … so I don’t think it is Cubase-specific. In my case I only notice it immediately after loading a project with an existing CSS track, or when adding a new track with CSS. For myself, I’ve just gotten used to needing to move...

    January 6: new Spitfire Originals release Cinematic Frozen Strings - “Tundra First Chairs” (thanks @ism)

    If this is directed at me, I wasn’t complaining about the price … in fact I agree with Mornats that it’s a pretty nice offer for people who don’t own Tundra and want that string sound. I was only saying that for me as an existing Tundra owner, I can’t justify it, especially when it seems like...

    January 6: new Spitfire Originals release Cinematic Frozen Strings - “Tundra First Chairs” (thanks @ism)

    I suspected as much. Maybe I’ll eventually come across a specific project where I feel like I would want to use them, and at that point I’m sure the $29 will seem reasonable enough. But what’s keeping me from just buying them today is that this library feels like the kind of thing that other...

    January 6: new Spitfire Originals release Cinematic Frozen Strings - “Tundra First Chairs” (thanks @ism)

    This sounds to me like it would be a nice add-in with Tundra, but I think I’d need to have it be at even a little less than $29 to let myself be pushed into getting it, because it is fairly similar to things I already have. Which brings up a question: did any of the existing Originals libraries...

    8Dio 60% sale using code 60DIO - Silka FREE with spend over $250

    Since they were responding to me, I think they were taking into account my statement that there’s nothing else from 8Dio that I want to spend $250 on. Buying libraries I don’t care for and would never, ever use for $250 just to get Silka would be a pretty bad idea for me … like throwing away...

    2022 resolutions

    I usually don’t bother with making new year’s resolutions, but 2022 is an exception, as I have several very specific ones which are especially important to me for the coming year: - Every time I’m tempted to buy another sample library, put that thought aside and instead go and learn to make...

    8Dio 60% sale using code 60DIO - Silka FREE with spend over $250

    Yes, I can wait. I do want Silka, but I don’t actually NEED it for anything. If it takes another year or two to get it, I’ll just exercise some patience … that particular muscle needs more of a workout than I’ve been giving it lately anyhow.

    8Dio 60% sale using code 60DIO - Silka FREE with spend over $250

    I’ve discovered a new problem with these 8Dio freebie throw-in sales … once you own everything from them you’re interested in, there’s no way to combine $250 of purchases you‘d actually use in order to qualify for the freebie. Hehe … I guess that mainly demonstrates how effective these sales...

    What happens to our sample libraries in case of death?

    The problem for me is that no one else in my family has even the slightest hope of or motivation to do anything with my computers, much less with sample libraries. I wish I could leave some kind of document that would help them get something approaching the full value out of my lifetime of tech...
