Re: Effortless Arturia Updating

Here are the steps I took. I'm on a Mac w/ Big Sur. 1. See Arturia V Collection 9. (Stupid name, but whatever.) 2. Get excited from all the sound demos. 3. Spend hard earned money. 4. Download Arturia Software Center. 5. Click Install All and let it go all night. 6. Wake up to see NOTHING has ...

Re: Are Singers Always So Flaky?

UPDATE: After looking at over 1,000 singers online (!), I finally found 4 that are awesome. Professional, easy to work with, ambitious, hardworking -- yay!

Re: The popularity of distressing, disintegrating sound.

Brilliant post! As I read it, I thought that most of your post would be used as a newspaper article about rock music in 1971 and be as relevant. Or, if changing some of the adjectives, be about the premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring in 1913. I think it's very healthy indeed to "muss up the ...

Re: Universal Audio (think twice before investing)

I understand the OP's frustration. I've been using UAD stuff from PCI slot days to my current Thunderbolt 3 setup with 2 Octos and an Apollo Twin. I had about 20 plugins, but was a casual user.

Re: Native Instruments A49 Controller Keyboard

I am using the S61 with Logic and a Mac. You can access all the settings and the Komplete Kontrol works fine with it.
