My favourite part in any situation like this is the first person says something lovely, someone else says "hey you said something lovely" to which a bunch of idiots tell them they can't say that. It's clockwork, amazingly refined. And loving stupid.

Sometimes, I feel like setting up some sort of social media account, something that isn't registered to anything or anyone related to me IRL, just so I can absolutely and safely go off on these at-right chucklefuck transphobes, racists, bigots, etc. Because these people, like kiwifarms, can and will make your life absolute hell if they get your real info. It'd be like a social media batman. But then I realize that the thing taking on the most violence would be my mental health, so I don't.

free Trapt CD posted:Love to see hundreds of comments complaining about "the torches and pitchforks mob". Just a really solid, self-aware crowd this dude chose to align himself with there. The fact that he hasn't said "My opinions are my own as are my actions, don't go after others for them" says more about him than his loving lovely opinions. Dude was always going to flame out in one way or another, just super sucks it was in a manner that caused so much backlash for others.

Was more referring to the Pianobook community that got several trans moderators and collaborators ran off or put in lovely situations where work they were proud of was suddenly tainted by ol "look at me I got opinions" Henson.

Hey VST Megathread, I wanted to report that after much agonizing I decided to spend what little mad money I have this month on a license for Jamorigin's MIDIguitar. And my first impression is really good. I'm just using it to convert the guitar to MIDI and sending it to Surge XT, the free VST and I'm getting virtually no noticeable latency. Of course I'm using a good sound device from Focusrite, but in any case I'm trying monophonic and polyphonic, and I've noticed that if I apply a little vibrato to the strings it is picking that up as well and giving them to Surge as well, same for bent notes. I would like to say it's tracking as well as my SY-300, but I'm not really sure yet. I'm playing with topnotch gear all around here so if you are playing with less quality stuff your results may vary. I'm quite impressed and suspecting this was well worth the price tag.

watho posted:don’t say stuff like that don’t tempt me My results varied with different VSTs and with individual presets. As you probably know, Surge has a bazillion really nice presets, some of those worked perfectly with no observable latency. Same for Pigments. Strumming with a mono synth of course gets mixed results, as did some other presets, for various reasons. Trying it with some old VSTs the results were not as consistently good, but the two VST3I plugins I tried seemed to do the best. Nothing unexpected, I suppose. Still experimenting with different strumming techniques, it's pretty cool.

ED: Okay scratch that. Now I'm trying a preset I really didn't think I'd be able to strum and I was with little to no latency once again. So once again I'm wrong. I have latency issues at various times with different presets and I think some of that is due to those particular settings being designed for something other than what I'm doing with it. ED2: Okay, I'm now playing the VST and simultaneously sending out to my NTS-1 via my old MAudio MIDIsport, it's tracking perfectly though it lacks things like the tremelo, which the VST Pigments does pick up, as well as bent notes. ED3: And now I've been sending MIDI from the VST to my NTS-1, my Mininova, alternately or together, in addition to the VSTIs. And it does appear to be picking up a lot of tremelo and vibrato and so forth in addition to bent string, once again it appears to be a matter of choosing the right settings or preset. It really is nice to be able to control my Mininova with my guitar. petit choux fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Mar 6, 2023 |

Allow people to buy them or subscribe to them. Maybe offer a subscription discount based on how many eligible plugins you already own in your account, I don't know. Even not offering the discount would be preferable to not allowing a user to purchase them.

Lol I know this isn’t the ios apps thread but I’m gonna name them anyway cause this was months ago and they didn’t stop their false advertising. Sorry in advance for the rant. It’s beatmaker 3, which is a good product to be fair. They charge $26.99 as is. This is their version history to show the maintenance work they think is worth discussing a change to a subscription.  This all started because someone was asking when the iphone version was coming (note the app description).  They always get mad when the iPhone version comes up, they ‘stopped development of it years ago and that app description is from 2019 so actually you’re wrong for even asking about something so minor and old. Plus you’ve gotten plenty for your $27 (which should really be a subscription model to sustain the work they’re doing).’ Someone else said the app description could be updated if that’s no longer the case, and they agreed. Screens from today, at least 6 months later

Moving to a subscription only model works if you have an application that is too expensive for people to easily afford, have a majority market share and the industry standard product, or offer recurrent services. I learned Maya back in college in the 00's. I didn't buy a copy because that was over $3,000 at the time. Paying $20 per month over the course of the semesters for a student subscription would have been affordable if it were available. Adobe has an industry standard product in Photoshop. It doesn't matter much if they pissed off their client base moving to a subscription model, because it's too big to be ignored. MSPs exist for small companies who need IT services but don't want to shell out for full time help. Then here comes fuckin' Waves with none of that poo poo but some MBA rear end in a top hat shouting "recurring revenue!" from the treetops thinking they're big enough to get away with it. Anyway, check your emails, Pligin Alliance sent out a $20 no minimum spend coupon last night. I picked up their Bassman sim free with that.

I finally upgraded my old iMac with a Mac Studio a few weeks ago. Paid to upgrade my half-dozen or so Waves products. Now this. I wouldn't have paid the money if I knew this was coming. I'm already annoyed how many of my plug-ins were rendered useless with the OS and chip upgrade. Ah well - it's not like I've been making music anyway, and this great purge allows me to concentrate on a smaller variety of tools, I guess....

I've been in multiple pro studios that used the cracked Mercury bundle like it's the most normal thing in the world. I'm sure Waves saw the writing on the wall, they have the analytics. What's annoying is they won't let you access the new "cloud" StudioRack presets even if you already have all plugins they use licensed. So if I want the Mick Gordon kick chain I need to pony up like a new user

I have some waves stuff, but the only ones I have that feel hard to replace are the z noise and the Abbey Road mastering one. The z noise just seems to work really well and I'm used to using it, I'm sure another noise reduction would work fine though. The mastering one I like the stereo spreader and the m/s eq, is there anything anyone could recommend?

Man, Wires is such a fun delay. It's a bit hard to tune to something that sounds good, but once I find that sound, nothing else comes close. It's also part of the reason I've been working off and on for a year or so on a CIA themed album.
