I've got that one - it's good.

F**k em Always hated the portal Like beat tweaker and trash now they joined NI they feel they can discard users hopefully people remember this Surely there must be an EU law to say when you purchase something that it will be valid for a period of time ? No doubt in there T&C’s there is a disclaimer...

£8.5k!
I'll have to stick to dreaming of a Moog Matriarch.

Bitwig is a close relative of Ableton, so if you like Ableton you'll like Bitwig. Bitwig is a much smaller company, but innovating the most of any DAW at the moment. Bitwig is Ableton but with the CV paradigm of Reason, only much better. Bitwig has quite a few advantages over Ableton, especially if ...

Cherry Audio get better at what they do* with every release.

*create GUIs that give me a headache the moment I see them

After a bit of thought at the time, their upgrade model makes sense to me. You can still opt to pay the upgrade fee at the same time that a new full version is released, or every other full version, or however you like to do it. It's just you don't *have* to. You don't have to worry if you upgrade n...

I think one of Bitwig's appeals was that if you bought the full DAW, everything was included. This seems to be laying the groundwork for a Lite/Standard/Suite type arrangement. Maybe 16-track-No-Grid/Full+Grid/Full+Grid+FX Suite.

That's right up my cup of tea, GUI-wise.

Funny - I correctly guessed the amp just from the title of the thread. I think my internal logic went something like this: VVV. Any similarly named amps? Well, the was the Peavey Triple XXX. 5150s were originally Peavey amps, before Van Halen started his own brand. EVH is also adjacent to VVV. The 5...

Dan Worrall has recently done a good video series about parallel EQ tricks, and the first video has a good explainer on phase etc. Highly recommended. (The 2nd video has some great tips for fattening up drums)

The Drumlogue has 3 engine types - 4 analogue voices, digital multi-osc as on the other logue synths and the NTS-1, and samples. I read the sample memory is very small so clearly sample voices isn't the main aim.

There are already a couple of good deep dive videos on it from Loopop and BoBeats.

I bought it. Love the sequencer and the arpeggi-sequencer. Sounds great, loads of fun.

Disclosure mixed their first album, Settle, on an pair of Cerwin Vega hi-fi speakers that were kicking around in their parents' auction house.

I'm sure the mods are having a healthy discussion somewhere about whether my post is political or not (for which hassle, I apologise!). I would say it is only bringing information about SA that may be pertinent to members of this community. In the mean time: https://twitter.com/SpitfireAudio/status/...

Hello

The founder of Spitfire Audio has gone down the transphobe rabbit hole, if this matters to you.

Edit: The autism-ableist transphobe rabbit hole, at that.

The Gearnews page works, but there's no reference to it on UA's website or Plugin Alliance.

There is Needlepoint:

Looks like this was an accidental early leak, as it's gone away again now.

Surely all effects are the kind of effects everyone uses, on account of ooh that's interesting?

Vinyl Distortion in Ableton is the only comparable device I can think of, in terms of modelling physical groove/needle effects, although not so full featured.

FM8, Massive and Absynth are all classics, insofar as any software synth can be a classic. They each defined whole subgenres. I've always been curious to try Absynth too, although Nostromo could probably do a similar job. I'm sure Massive has been outpaced by lots of synths that came since (that it ...

I have a 17" laptop PC and I'm a real cheerleader for laptops with big screens. When I upgrade, I will have an honest look at how often I actually take my laptop out of the house and use it elsewhere. Tbh it happens *at most* once a year. Probably less than that. So when I upgrade, I think it's like...

I don't think music production needs tons of RAM unless you work with big sample libraries a lot. 16GB should be fine.
My (8 year old) old laptop has 32GB and I've never run out of RAM. Also I think today's computers are better tuned to use their fast SSD system drives as working memory.

I don't know how it compares with ABL3, but the sound engine is all new and the interface is very comprehensive.

If you have other D16 stuff you'll have a crossgrade voucher - mine makes it €69.

Given that Traktor isn't a production environment, but DJ software, the inclusion of Ozone Maximizer seems a bit redundant - as in, DJ software is mainly dealing with finished tracks which have already had all the mastering limiter treatment. You'd just be double-limiting them. I can see the value i...

Just had a look at that roadmap - looks to be clearly about a Traktor-as-a-service subscription model. This fits with the Chris Randall Twitter thread I mentioned here re. the FM8 deal, about the venture capital-owned new NI/Izotope/PA conglomerate extracting maximum money for minimum innovation goi...
