The Sound Board

Well, I sure as hell wouldn't trust that guy.

I know Mike has a feeling these assets can be sold, but few people have the coconuts to create a library out of someone else's old samples like he does (screaming trumpet) Ha! It's really interesting you said it that way, because Screaming Trumpet, which I repurposed from excellent samples of Wayne...

There was discussion about this over at that other place: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/soundpaint-disco-strings.151712/ People there seemed to love the sound, although there is some of the usual 8dio sloppiness and bugs, mostly with legatos. Seems like it might be worth it overall, thoug...

Ah! In that case, I think I may have to pick it up, too. I'm such a sucker for sales, plus they seem to be really cool.

SynthV (and others) use marketing words like AI to describe certain things they do, since "AI" is the flavor of the month. But it's not the same sort of LLM scraping we associate with AI in recent months. Specifically with companies like Udio or MidJourney or ChatGPT, which scrape tons of ...

SynthV definitely lets you can sing into it, rather than typing and entering MIDI. I sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in their NAMM booth (with headphones, so as not to torture other people) and it played a different singer replicating what I sang, warts and all. You can then tweak the MI...

SynthV does this, too. (Although not many people know it, since those guys are the worst at demonstrating what their product can do.) I gave Synth V, and I wasn’t aware that you could sing a track, change the vocal into “styles” ( as opposed to just vocalists) and have it pick up the lyrics as this...

Now there's an idea! We tell everybody that the voices being used are ... Jews!

Oooo, the tiki torch guys won't stand for that. They even warned us about it! So once we have those guys on our side, with Donald Trump in the White House, AI in music is as good as ended!

SynthV does this, too. (Although not many people know it, since those guys are the worst at demonstrating what their product can do.)

Watched Hush Pro video ... jaw on floor ... okay, I think I get what you were saying. :D I can't imagine iZotope was thrilled to see Hush Pro come out, because yeah, that really does raise the bar. Or at least created an additional bar. (I'm guessing it's very specific to solo voice.) My guess is th...

It needs to be big, iZotope have fallen way behind the competition. Will be interesting to see if this corrects the trend. I'm far from a power user, still using RX9 to clean samples because I haven't bothered downloading RX10. (It's in my account, I just haven't bothered downloading.) Honestly, I ...

I’d jump on this deal if I didn’t already have all of CineBrass, CinePerc, and so many other titles from Cinesamples that it’s hard for me to justify buying Musio 1 over other investments; but I think this is a great deal nonetheless. Because I bought the Cinesamples stuff I wanted during the glitc...

13 hrs to go. Yeah ... this is Cinesamples, though, so I'm taking all bets that they extend the sale. "Popular demand" and all that. Even if they don't, we can be sure they'll repeat the sale within a few months, possibly even cheaper. Then again, I caved and bought it just now, so I gues...

I don't think Spectrasonics is at NAMM this year. They're normally in the Ilio booth (along with VSL, AAS, and some other companies that Ilio distributes), but Ilio's booth is on the smaller side this year. Who knows, though. The NAMM map is here: https://www.nammshow.org/event/nammshow/maps/RXZlbnR...

Malachistos is right. I challenge anyone to do all the additional NKS work required in under a week. (I took me several weeks the first time, although I'm admittedly slow.) Also, the encoding fee is only a part of the upfront cost. Unless you're only going to order 100 licenses in your first order (...

Whoa! This is great news, although for some reason it does make me a little nervous. (Just a feeling, not anything I can point to.)

I had always assumed the "bunker" was in Viet Nam, and of the era when we were at war there. Now that you explained it was in Copenhagen, I realize that makes way more sense, since (from my admittedly lacking knowledge of the war history, aside from what I saw in movies), they had tunnels,...

looking forward to your rundown of NAMM on VI. Just posted: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/the-adventures-of-creating-a-choir-library-march-8-2023-update.131249/post-5327475 It's been fun writing about the process, although I wish I could cut to the chase and get to the "It's release...

My god, that guy is inarticulate! "This instrument is less than half percent edited" is just one of the cringey gems in there. This has been a really ambitious project, and I've been much more nervous about this instrument than others, because I went so far overboard with the upfront recor...

Yep. Totally clear, and I think the rest of us all knew what you meant. And ironically, you weren't even being negative about Engine.

But I don't know where else "you think ... our engine doesn’t work ..." could have come from.

That person is the real villain in the piece. I still think this should be a developer free forum. (Sorry, Mike, aka big fella.) Hey!!! FWIW, I don't disagree with you, though. I don't necessarily agree, either, mind you, but I can totally see reasons for not wanting developers (or other forum owne...

The Pro version, I mean. Who is it for? Rhodes purists will scoff at a software version of the sacred Rhodes sound anyway, and I very much doubt if a non-purist will be prepared to pay close to 300$ for a virtual Rhodes My understanding is that the Pro version includes the same software as the regu...

Ah, thanks for updating us on whoever’s being canceled next. Helpful comment. There's a whole lot of backstory you might not be aware of. These aren't my stories to share (so kindly don't share this post or quote me), but talk to enough developers and you'll run into a few (all of whom you would re...

It's because we don't like you, Frank! ;) I only sent that update to a couple people who had asked for these changes. (Don't tell Guy, but I was sneakily using him as a beta tester!) An email to everyone else was supposed to go out a couple days ago, but then I noticed the keyboard doesn't light up ...

Are you sure the Start keyswitches don't work? I've asked a few people to check, and for both Macs and PCs, they seem to be working fine. (Just so we're on the same page, Start is the D# above the C# Stop keyswitch - for whichever octave you've chosen.) Regarding having Drums and a selected instrume...
