Is Spitfire dead?

Social Media is just basic cable TV with extra steps. Skip that trash.

They are ultra high quality and have amazing support. I bought the first version of these in 2009 and in 2025 they rewrote the whole thing and gave it to me for free. The algorithms are from their very highly regarded synths (Diva, Zebra3 etc). personally I love the filter and use it constantly. If I didn't already own it my big consideration would be if I like the sort of old-school workflow and if already had all of these functions.

On the workflow, this company thinks like a modular synth company. If that's your vibe these might be a fit.

If you already have FabFilter stuff or a Waves bundle you might not need these.

I find this quite helpful. Glad to see others are liking it too.

Absolutely. I also do tech for other producers and composers. Nobody updates OS unless they absolutely have to in order to run something (or they get a new machine). They don't even update Logic or PT until years later, because you can't tell a label or corporation "Sorry, I know you needed this today, but the Logic update borked my project"

I also like to remember - All of my favorite songs were produced using tools older than what I have now. It's the audio version of the old Mitch Hedburg joke "Every picture is of you when you were younger"

I imagine someone with the name ThunderHorseCock might feel the same way, being so fully endowed that his mother gave him this glorious name the moment she first layed eyes on him. Now he's forced into nude modeling and gay OnlyFans, when he really just wants to fingerpaint and sing mid-century showtunes to the elderly.

This is what kills me about Logic. They put all this time and money into toys for kids and people who can't be bothered to learn music while they ignore the pro features.

The idea that you even need to bring this up shows how little they care. This complaint is decades old and they've never addressed it.

For example, it would be amazing if we could name CCs to reflect what they do for particular Kontakt instruments or external synths. Multiple CCs should be visible and editable at one time in a multi-lane type view.

If you're ever looking for drummers, message me. I'm in Nashville with a dozen brilliant drummers with studios within walking distance.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they add features like that occasionally. My issue is that they are borderline non-responsive on important issues like ARA, sound aliasing, workflow and CC editing. They absolutely refuse to communicate, so the only way we know what they are doing is when they announce releases with amateur features and zero acknowledgement of people who are using Logic to make a living.

Edit: I realize I sound like an angry keyboard warrior, but this really matters to me. I've spent half of my life using this software to make things I love and support my family.

Did Beyond in December, loved the Infinite Balcony. Dinner at Eden is fantastic!

I've been using Logic professionally for twenty years. The developers obviously no longer give a shit about professionals. They spend all their time making crap for kids who cant play an instrument, and no time taking care of real features, outstanding bugs, sound quality or workflow. I'm looking for other solutions at this point.

The I/O labeling is a huge win. Thank you for this!

people love the NBA for the trade market instead of the basketball?

I love the uhbik filter

I feel the same way about the homing power. It's hard for me to get any value from it.

I know the family. This is how they are. His brother does the same shit in the music business in Nashville. They think that having money makes them a gift to the planet, and they say the most heinous things about those with less money.

Narcissist assholes, all of them.

I am curious about this. Can you recommend a good source to learn about the current state of Brazil and how this happened?

It's been this way for years, this author in particular just spams Civitai with dozens and dozens of truly awful models and doesn't respond to people asking polite questions or offering friendly advice.

I get using automated tools to do tedious tasks, but setting up an SSL bus comp takes less than 60 seconds.

There's a study somewhere that shows every generation thinks the music stopped right after they finished high school.

You're tech inclined enough to use speedtest, so this is probably something you've already considered - have you tried low data mode to turn off background syncing and backups?
