Re: When you first listen to a song, how important are lyrics to you?

I’m in the « music first » team. It’s even more troubling than that : for years I sang along english songs, or songs written in english, and they didn’t mean anything to me. I mean, I understood the words but they didn’t make sense to me. And later on, when they did finally meant something to my som...

Re: Musio - latest stuff

Hello everyone!
Trying to make sense of everything Cinesamples related.
Is Musio 1 at 199€ still a bargain ? Or risky ?
I don’t have anything from them, oddly enough.
Thanx :-)

Re: VST buzz closing down sales

Emmet is a good guy, and while I do have my reservations about these sorts of prices making it more difficult for developers to maintain their edge I am not a marketing guy, and I don't think VSTBuzz would have lasted as long as it has if it was truly discouraging sales. In fact I think VSTBuzz has...

[solved] Faulty Build up

Thanx Guy! I made a rookie error : didn’t plug the CPU cable to the PSU - no instruction about it on the printed manual. It’s from the MoBo to the PSU, actually. A tad rusted since my last build up was more than 10 years ago. Now comes the soft side of things, flashing Bios, transferring data and th...

(solved) Faulty Build up

my PC build up hasn’t gone well : tiny mother card leds indicates a CPU and RAM dysfunctions. I cannot switch the tower off unless I use the PSU rocker switch itself. And the vidcard is not working properly (« no signal » message on the screen. Might be related to the CPU bug, though). Mobo : x670E ...

Re: Impact Soundworks / Altera Keys

That’s what I thought : having Keyscape and Omni, is it worth it ? Those not into it might, though.

Edit : listening to the demos, it’s defo not for me as I dislike these DX and JD digi keyz - sounds cheezy like hell, or heaven depending on your worship side.

Re: GForce Oberheim DMX

I don’t understand why they didn’t include a sequencer. So it’s more like a tweakable sampler than a proper virtual drum machine. How retro that is… :/ Sequencer are here for happy accidents, at least for me. I had fun with Cherry Audio CR78 during the demo period. I should look into Psychic Modulat...

Re: Arturia Pigments 3

I like Pigments too. UI is well laid out though I do concure with what Guy said (as usual) : not as evident to program as it 1st looks. But nothing unsurmontable. Soundwise, it works magic... until’ I compare it to Hive 2 (Pigments 2, at least). Hive is more rounded, beaffier, less fizzy. One never ...
