Yeah, you may as well stop making music now, sell your computer and save yourself the heartache.

Yeah, it's so f**king wrong that people invest in companies that make tools we use every day. Those f**kers should all starve to death, not make VST plugins for us to love. I'm going to pour petrol on my laptop and burn it as soon as I get home, That'll teach them not to try and make my life better. Bastards!

I have a plugin alliance account which I have used to demo their stuff , forgot the password and can't be bothered to jump through all the hoops

How do you lose a password in 2022? My browser knows all mine, I don't have to remember any of 'em.

Why does Kontakt need redesigning? You never have to interact with it, just the instruments you load into it, most of which have a great UX.

PS: the freebies appear to be freebies that were already readily available without this Soundwide bit. I agree with whoever said this is just marketing BS. Nothing to see here, move along.

I've never seen bx_oberhausen for free before but, you know... whatever.

??? It's been a couple of years but I don't recall PA's sign-up process being any different to everyone else's.

Why the f**k not? PA's installation manager is f**king awesome. Overall, using installation managers probably saved me 20-30 hours of f**king about while setting up my new laptop over the last few weeks. I can't get enough of 'em.

Because it’s still built on the premise we’re running HDDs?
Zero engine improvements for running nvme. If i run a few piano libs, let me stream from my 6000MB/s drive and stop clogging my RAM for no f**king reason.

I wont go into your pathetic PA simping, but just wanted to acknowledge it

If you didn't buy a new laptop every year for no reason, you could save much more time than that.

because all of what he says is true? And for the record, IMO, PA have by far the best and most user friendly installation manager known to man. Installs are done in literally seconds. So there.

We have another Peak KVR thread.

More quality free stuff. Great. If you don't want it or need it, oh well.

Nah, i have no issues giving bones credit where it's (rarely) due.

Installation managers are pretty personal, but PA's manager doesn't show version updates iirc, the M1 delivery was also botched.
It's not perfect but it's probably one of the better installation managers (compared to i.e. IK. or Waves)

Lame announcement. It's just an umbrella eluding to some mysterious future through collaboration. Yawn. Oh, and grammy-winning musos on the board don't impress me. Experienced and successful business types would - those who can handle the responsibilities of a board: governance, strategic direction, organization strategic planning and monitoring, protecting assets and providing financial oversight, serving on committees or working groups, selecting, supporting and reviewing the performance of the chief executive and board member recruitment and board performance evaluation. One doesn't win a Grammy for this kind of stuff, sorry. This is all just marketing bs.

Just tried out the Black Box HG-2 plugin. Is it supposed to turn everything to mono? I'm testing with a stereo drum loop and no matter what I do, scrolling through all the presets, everything is in mono until i disable the plugin.

It stays stereo in Audacity, so it's probably an FL Studio bug

Not sure what DAW you're using, maybe it's being inserted as mono, or maybe there's a bug, but the Black Box HG-2 is definitely not mono, unless somebody wants it to be. It's often used on stereo material and the HG-2 version has M/S included also I believe.

Edited

NI is now part of Soundwide with plugin alliance etc! Lots of free stuff...
