How are things coming along with the Squids midi loops?

From the marketplace GB thread:

There's also a SECOND Global Patch Update that we'll have by Tuesday that should be the final on that.

Is this out, and is it called Drum Master 2 Global Patch Update?

.. and does it include the replacement Studio_ProFiles_Infinite_Player_info_nkx and .nkc files or is that a separate download?

Hi Squids, is there a way to check the kit piece listings by name in the individual folders to see what samples are missing? Tried downloading a few times (the last time with a download manager - the sizes were correct) and there are still missing samples in kits I open up in the player. (btw, are all kits mapped to the same keys?) Not sure if some are not unzipping properly or what the problem might be. Checking by name might make it easier to know which kits should be downloaded again.
Thanks.

No they haven't. They're being worked on/edited right now. However, I have been under the weather so to speak so haven't been able to work on it further this week. So it's not pure "Squidi". Most of it is and then a couple other SRians had to take over. I am starting to feel a little bit better though. So I might continue some more tomorrow. We'll have it by the end of this coming week. Plus another surprise.

The kit pieces are also in the INSTRUMENTS folder. But, that doesn't sound right. If sizes are matching up and you're not unzipping manually but dragging and dropping onto the library installer then it should work. Although if you're in Vista there's some specific things you need to do which is in the Quick Start Guide. I recommend emailing our support manager - allen (at) esoundz (dot) com so he can troubleshoot it with you.

My only complaint is that I find myself putting csr room on these drums as well as various T-racks 3 plugins on every track and now my iMac which seemed plenty fast just 3 months ago is not capable of running as many tracks as I would like. Any chance of a Mac Pro Tower group buy?

Thanks. Actually it was some sort of food poisoning, fever and the whole nine... quite unpleasant! But I am feeling better now thankfully. Happens to the best of us.

hello all, just wondering what i've missed, been away at work for a month - been waiting for an email regarding the HDD option? any updates?

I recommend using CSR as a send/return effect in your DAW as opposed to an insert. In a real-world studio if someone had a Lexicon 480L they wouldn't have one as an insert for every stereo channel. They'd run auxiliary sends to it and then send different amounts of each mic channel of the drums to it. Ken Scott, for example would rarely ever send the direct kick mic to the reverb. It was enough that the overheads had it.

Hope that helps.

This week the ability to upgrade to a DVD or HD version will be possible - maybe even starting today toward the end of the day.

So I took the advice and didn't install anything until Feb 1st. And guess what? It all went as smooth as silk! I didn't have a single glitch and I am using Vista, so that's even more amazing. The product definitely delivered in the end!

Hope you are feeling better soon Squids!
