I agree about the menu thing -- AU Lab at least organizes everything in manufacturer's folders, so it's a lot easier to locate a plug or VI...
This might have fallen under "Best Free Software For Making Music". Unfortunately, it's Mac-only: Lately, I've been frustrated by AU Lab (takes...
I got it free through my PT account. It's ... just okay? I had considered downloading some of those Virtual Guitarist VIs at one point, but I...
Until the rise of jazz and rock bands, the band or orchestra was always in the background (with a couple of exceptions, usually the drummer or...
This will definitely be an unpopular response, but ... try Digital Performer. I assume you have a Windoze computer? I have no idea what the...
Are you on Windoze? If so, ignore this reply. If you're on a Mac, you'll want to hold on to 5.5 (or, better still, track down a k'd copy of 5.6.6,...
Whoops! Sorry about that one -- assumed they'd gotten rid of it!
If you get a Mac, get a used one (but not too used, as the processors aren't getting faster, but the Thunderbolt and USB connectors are). If you...
Okay, here's an interesting dilemma (and a potential problem for future Kontakt upgrades): I recently snagged Kontakt 5.8.1 (k) and still have...
Being a Mac guy, I hate to admit it, but ... you probably have a hell of a lot better DAW choices in Windoze. MacOS has some good ones, just not...
At this point, it would take me at least a week to go through every synth patch and sample on my computer, which is alarming, because, back in the...
As I don't compose on my phone or iPad, the size of those flags in DP doesn't bother me. You can also zoom waaaaaay in inside the Graphic Editor...
I actually have this sound! It's pretty old, too -- from an E-Mu PROteus 2 orchestral module (the patch is called "Infinite One"). Apparently, you...
Not my kind of music, but definitely well-done!
I just installed the newest version of Logic (which I promptly crapped all over in another thread), and, despite the fact that it had already run...
I've never tried using VSTs with DP, so I'm not sure how well they work with the program -- since they just implemented VSTs in the last version...
Oh! Sorry for the misunderstanding on that one! I haven't actually used Cubase since maybe 2000, when it seemed like its main attraction was...
It's only $100 a year (plus an iLok 2 key) for Pro Tools 12. I haven't paid up my subscription in a while, so I'm still on 12.5, but $100 for...
Ever use DP? It's actually a lot better than Logic for MIDI, and absolutely better for film/TV/game composition. I'll grant you that it lacks...
I haven't tried Reaper, Live, FL Studio or StudioOne, but I had Cubase waaaaay back in the day, and other than the eight jillion VST plugs they...
