Anveo posted:NI's Analog Dreams is free until the end of the month. Is that the same thing that is in Komplete Start? Or is it a more fully featured version of what they give you in Start?

Nice -- thanks for the heads up. At $10 I feel like I can't afford not to try it.

Izotope Neutron 3 Elements is free at Plugin Boutique with the code N3EREMIX. They also have a separate deal running where RX 7 Elements is free if you buy something (has to be something you pay for -- buying "Neutron 3 Elements" for free doesn't count). EDIT: While checking out there, I found myself reading about Scaler 2, which seems like it could be kind of fun to play around with, although I'm not sure I'd pay full price for it, and I could also see it being not as much fun in practice as it looks -- like maybe it's more fun to just play around with these things yourself and figure out what sounds right. Anyone tried this one out, or the first version of it? McCoy Pauley fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Aug 15, 2020 |

NonzeroCircle posted:it's such a shame how fucky all this stuff is really and that things like OS and version numbers are still such an issue in this day and age. Has Steinberg said anything at all about what the new model will be? I've not been playing really close attention to their announcements about this, but the dongle has never bothered me, whereas periodically I would get weird errors back when I their elicenser thing for Cubase LE or whatever came with my UR44 -- never had a single issue since moving over to the dongle. I generally prefer to use Cubase when I'm just wanting to sit down and record stuff and mess around with effects -- it feels a lot more intuitive to me than Ableton -- but if they do some weird subscription model that doesn't work smoothly like the dongle, man, that would be a bummer.

instead, with a risk of subscription model too.

Plugin Boutique has Iris 2 for $15: https://www.pluginboutique.com/prod...u223-KKW0KqWKT8 I can't claim to have spent enough time with this and Pigments 3 to give an in depth comparison, but Iris 2 has been a lot of fun to play around with -- I've certainly gotten at least $15 worth of fun out of it.

NonzeroCircle posted:I do like the Vst itself but it's not really suited for on the fly jamming. Loading samples from the browser is a bit wack, and I find the 6 tracks a little limiting, but having said that, it's like a decade old and once you get the hang of it you can build enough variations for a song quickly then "play" by triggering with midi notes. This was sounding pretty great, particularly at that price, but when I logged into pluginboutique, turns out I already own it. This is probably a sign I should be using my VSTs more, and looking for VST deals less.

Moogs posted:I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there a way to share your desktop and remotely collaborate on a project in a DAW? Closest I’ve found is screen share with audio on Zoom but I can’t get the audio to play through my headphones real time AND be shared through zoom. I’ve tried hacky workarounds but they always result in a delay, which is a real problem for music… Steinberg makes something called VST Connect which seems to do this: https://new.steinberg.net/vst-connect/ It looks like it comes with Cubase Pro but can also be bought separately. I haven't tried it -- somebody recommended looking into it during the pandemic and we never got around to it -- but there appears to be a free trial. Edit: I haven't tried, not I have tried it.

NonzeroCircle posted:Don't sleep on Komplete Kontrol (which is free and included in every version on Komplete) if you're after an equivalent to Lives Simpler/Cubase's sample tracks etc that is DAW agnostic. I keep trying to remember to start experimenting with Komplete Kontrol, but whenever I boot up Cubase I end up doing something instead. Maybe today is the day.

NonzeroCircle posted:I have the tiny m32 controller and a maschine mikro, and tbh there isn't much difference between using these or just kb+m so whilst they are nice and integrate as well, they are not as fundamental to the user experience as it may seem. So you use the Maschine Mikro while you're doing all this in Cubase? That sounds interesting -- I'm mostly just recording guitar or bass DI into Cubase, or using a keystep for keyboard stuff, and have a Launchpad X I mess around within Ableton, but not enough to have justified picking it up. I had always figured the NI hardware was just for messing around in their software, and hadn't really made the connection that it could be useful to use while using KK within Cubase. The m32 feels like it would be duplicative of the Keystep, but the mikro seems like it could fun, as I watch this video. I hear you on the time that gets lost when you're just browsing through a lot of VSTs trying to remember which ones do what sounds. I need to look more into using KK.

Nice -- thank you for the detailed write up. Very interesting. I think I'll keep my eye out for deals on the Micro -- sounds like it would be very handy.

NonzeroCircle posted:The 3 noise engineering modes on my Microfreak get as much playtime as everything else combined. That Bass voice with the noise is fascinating, especially for... leads. Oh man -- that reminds me I still need to play around with that in my copy of Artist 12. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Anyone have a particular video they like that explains NI's Playbox? I just upgraded from Komplete 13 to 14, and so I'm playing around with this and having trouble wrapping my head around it. I know it just has the 8 notes you play and you're getting chords, and it's not like I'm going to use it for leads (I don't think), but I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm supposed to do with it, or how to get into it I guess. Any particularly good videos on this one?
