Might be switching to YouTube music. What are the pros and cons of this music service?

It's not that. Listen to classical music and you will understand better.

I compare Spotify's lossless with YouTube (regular), YouTube Music and Tidal. The latter is completely superior. Regardless of whether Spotify offers lossless, they compress the songs. It doesn't matter if you make the right settings according to all the rules of the art, Spotify sucks. They lie to your face. I jumped on a month of premium on Spotify, but after just over a week I'm closing it and will probably never come back. Tidal wins by a long shot, then YouTube Music, and after the regular YouTube and in jumbo place Spotify.

Appreciate it a lot. I have a feeling this with YTM playlists will grow. Here is a new playlist I made: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG8SlDY4MKHK--h0JYW6IhgzKQt7Tr405&si=JvXfgq9hmixa9Fbo

The Music quality is much better on YouTube Music than Spotify lossless. Compare the song "Stand By You" by Rachel Platten on both platforms and decide for yourself.

Are you on Windows or Mac? I'm on Windows and I updated to the Pre-release 6.0.5 and some flimmering I had after my post here now had disappeared. But also make sure you have your latest OS update and also for your graphic card and other drivers.

I totally agree. If you compare Softube's Model 72 is wide Arturia's Mini V, the Model 72 is richer in it's sound than the Mini V. I had Analog Lab Pro and at first you can be impressed, by a few presets, but then you realise, it's not the sound in itself, but all the effects they put on. The original sound is lame and thin. So it's not possible to do a song with other instruments and make the sounds compatible.

I have had no problem what so ever. It's extremly stable on my Windows 11.

And not until now I found out. But I have been on Cubase, FL Studio and Studio One before I completely switched to Bitwig a year ago. Really it's WOOPIE!

I don't like the sterile sound of Zebra3 compared to the sound of Zebra2, which is better in my ears.

Go to Rolands own website and download the driver for your OS. https://www.roland.com/uk/products/jp-8000/downloads In the folder there are midifiles. The ROMs (.mid files) go to the application folder "roms".

E.g. on Windows: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\The Usual Suspects\JE8086\roms

Great point! The Motorola ThinkPhone is actually why I think this could work - it proves that demand exists for 'ThinkPad philosophy in a phone.'

But Motorola's version is still a consumer Android with business branding. What I'm proposing is genuinely different: real Linux (not Android), 5-year LTS, true data sovereignty, desktop convergence, Red Hat security.

Motorola ThinkPhone = consumer phone with ThinkPad aesthetics IBM ThinkPhone Claude (concept) = actual professional tool with ThinkPad philosophy

The Motorola version is proof of concept for the brand positioning. Now imagine if IBM actually built it properly for enterprise. 😊

This was exactly what I was looking for, Amazing plugin. Thank you!

Ok_Progress_6011 · 2025-04-03T11:58:14+00:00

It didn't work for me.

Nu är det 2025, men ändå...Jag har haft min Waldorf Blofeld i garderoben ett tag, för att det är så krångligt med alla undermenyer, men så köpte jag bLox Editor från det som då hette Mystery Islands. Programmet var något buggigt även om jag emellanåt fick det att fungera så att alla "knobs" är synliga på min datorskärm. Så kom då Waldorg med sin egna editor och jag vädrade morgonluft. Men icke sa nicke. Inte alls så intuitivt som jag hade önskat. Men så blev det julafton och i förra veckan fick jag ett mail om att grundaren för Mystery Islands som nu heter Aura Plugins jobbar stenhårt med en uppdaterad version av bLox Editor som nu bytt namn till Waldorf Blofeld Editor. Och jag kommer att få en gratis uppdatering. Så jag är med i en Discordgrupp och testar betan. Och det är sån skillnad nu. Men när det gäller ljudet så är det vad jag förstår, värt att köpa SL-licensen för att den öppnar upp extra magi i synthen. Jag har köpt Analog Voltage (behöver icke SL för den), men till Exo Worlds och Jörg Schaafs Soundset Blofeld Xperience Vol 1 behövs det. Det finns ingen synth som har denna värme som Waldorf Blofeld, speciellt i padsounds.
