Ok, so I saw that Vapor Keys 2 was on sale for $19.00, and I want it, but I don't have Kontakt. I'm assuming that I can't use Kontakt Player for this, and would have to shell out literally hundreds of dollars for just Kontakt? Edit: nevermind, found my answer.  the Website posted:KONTAKT 6.2+ FORMAT (Full Version Required) – Free Kontakt Player is NOT supported

Woolwich Bagnet posted:I'm sure this exists, so what's a decent plugin/program etc that can convert audio, like singing or whistling to midi or give pitches? I've started singing or whistling things and recording them to translate in to instrument parts and it would make it go a lot faster. Technically, wouldn't melodyne be able to do that? Their DNA pitch shifter tech is incredible, and it's able to chance pitches from within a song (like changing the pitch of a piano line, whole rhythm guitars are playing in the background). It's probably overkill, but you definitely get to see what notes are being played

My favourite thing about Reaper, and there's a lot to love, is the clip editing. It's like it both treats clips as their independent of the source immediately but also sort of not? Kind of hard to explain. Coming from Logic, it was amazing to see this level of quick audio editing support. Another thing is that years ago, when I did sound and music for casino games, because of the channel assignment of the surround sound gaming chairs we were developing, all low-pass signals had to be routed to channel 3, and channel 4 had to be blank. Channels 1-2 were front-facing speakers, where 5-6 had to mimic 1-2, but they were in the head of the chair itself, so they had to be quieter. Reaper let me customize this to a T, so that our weird as hell setup was now no longer kept together by some barely-functioning and often-crashing Cakewalk template (I hate Cakewalk/Sonar). Even better, all of our hardware and software played OGG specifically, and back then (2011-2013), outside of Reaper, multichannel OGG files were hard to create. Used to use a small freeware program called "OGGdrop", but the caveat was that if any of your channels were empty, poo poo got fuuuuuuuucked very quickly. Reaper solved all of that. And finally, last year, I was having a hell of a time batch-converting the 60+ tracks I received from goons for the Awful Xmas album. They were sent to me in different formats, and I was trying to wrangle them all with other programs that'd handle the meta info properly, etc. Reaper literally has a specific batch convert function that I found out about in the 11th hour, and it took care of EVERYTHING. All hail Reaper. A powerful DAW with so many tricks up its sleeve. Thing's a loving gem.

Is there a passable freeware (DAW-agnostic) harmonizer that anyone can vouch for? I have no problem eventually dropping money on one but at this point, I don't even know if a harmonizer is something that I'm really wanting, but I definitely want to try one. Or... is there one in Reaper that I'm just unaware of?

Speaking of programming drums, my favourite piece of gear is and will likely always be my Korg Padkontrol. Holy poo poo it's just so wonderful. Granted, I've played percussion for a few years, so I'm no stranger to rhythm and drumming, but still, I highly recommend picking one up. Or M-Audio's Trigger Finger, as I've heard it's similar. Or as a cheaper or more financially smart option, the next time you're in the market for a MIDI keyboard, get one with assignable drum pads. So useful! The latest thing I really used my Padkontrol for was my Awful Xmas submission last year.

Bluelab are calling it quits and have put up every plugin for free until you the website shuts down. I checked the WHOIS info for the domain name, and it looks like it's set to expire in May 2022, so DEFINITELY get in on this before then.

Agreed posted:I will never understand why tossers like him seem to think "I'm a dad" is a catch-all explanation for their bigotry. Said as a dad. It's disgraceful, always makes me feel sad, what if their kid doesn't fit their mental image and ends up needing a dad who understands and won't reject or hate them? "No not that kind of dad" I guess. I'm a dad twice over and I'm with you there. I even hear well-meaning people say 'I'd rather have a gay/trans kid than a dead one' which, y'know, GOOD, but gently caress, why does it even have to come to this?  I wouldn't read the comments for that tweet, btw; LOT of people who are defending the dude. It's gross. Anyway, VSTs! I love Serum and Steve Duda seems awesome, how bout y'all?

The thing about it is, even if you agreed with the dude (which screw you if you do), he absolutely hosed every one of his colleagues and sprayed diarrhea all over their brand by doing that. Not just wrong and awful, but an insanely selfish and stupid thing to do. Makes me wonder how many people I currently support who are secretly complete bastards.

Trig Discipline posted:Oh boy, Bitwig just released a new set of spectral processing devices that seem awesome...but they did it as a paid addon to their existing update program. People are loving furious and are telling Bitwig to eat poo poo from all directions. Polarity released a video defending it so now people are telling Polarity to eat poo poo too. This is not a great indicator for the direction of future development. I don't understand; did the bitwig company say that all of their future tools would be free or something? FL Studio has free updates for life, but they're obviously developing their own paid plugins.

Trig Discipline posted:Yeah it's not like I'm moving away from Bitwig because of this; in thirty years (holy poo poo?!?!?!) of making music on a computer it's my favorite DAW I've used by a very large margin. It's just a lovely thing to do with no warning given the context of the existing payment plan, and if this is how things are going to go moving forward it's pretty lovely. If people are okay with this paid addition you have to wonder what incentive they would have to ever release another free device, and one of the best things about being a continuous member of the upgrade program is that every few months some cool new toy is just added to your toy box out of nowhere. If you have the time and inclination, can you explain why you love bitwig so much*, to someone who absolutely loved Logic (until I couldn't update anymore) and then Reaper? No worries if not, but I'd certainly appreciate it. *I'm not trying to come at this 'combatitively', mind you; I've never used bitwig once, I'm just genuinely curious.

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.

OutOfPrint posted:Posted this in Stupid Music poo poo, but for visibility sake, Waves has started its subscription only model. Your owned plugins (should) keep their licensing, but you can no longer purchase plugins through them. Why can't companies just offer the two pronged approach? 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.
