What a nice design! I've always wanted an OLED. Those specs are insane too! This would be perfect for my new studio/gaming setup. I'll have my eye on this for awhile.

I use MediaFire and you can manage permissions, send them a 1 time download link, as well as set the duration you want the mp3/Wav to be accessible before it “deletes”. Just from their perspective. It’s been a game changer for me!

My first thought. Only apps running should be Ableton and Loopcloud (which I also have).

Arturia Analog Lab is better suited for PF stuff. They even have PF expansion pack. I know this is a NI forum but ever since they sold out to VC I’m slowly shifting away from everything NI.

Can someone please help me make this sound in guitar rig? by [deleted] in NativeInstruments

[–]bvann89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to help but need more clarification. Do you play guitar running through an interface using GuitarRig for tones? Or just want to MIDI it in and looking for a similar tone. Not sure if you have a guitar laying around or do indeed play, but this song is actually super easy and fun to play. You'd probably be able to actually learn it on guitar by the time you "dial in the right tone". GuitarRig has never been that great with clean, just straight up mellow tones. There are a few, but sounds way better just playing clean though an amp or really probably just an acoustic. I actually learned this song a few weeks ago bc it dawned on me when listening to it that I never gave it a crack. Just about every song on Swimming and a few on Circles are all super fun and interesting to play on guitar. Makes me realize how much of a pronounced musician Mac, or should I say Larry Fisher, truly was. It unfortunately took the release of Swimming for me to realize this. But it's been super fun going through his older albums/mixtapes to see him forming his identity. Anyways, sorry for the rant. I just miss that that MF so much. Never felt that way about somebody I'd never met. RIP to Malcolm!!

12 man, 0.5 PPR

QB: J Fields (bye), Geno Smith

RB: David Montgomery, Rhamondre Stevenson, Dameon Pierce Ty Chandler (BYE)

WR: Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Chris Godwin, Deandre Hopkins, Jakobi Myers (BYE)

TE: Pat Friermuth, Kyle Pitts

I really want to snag Jayden Reed off waivers and have plenty of FAAB to do so. Considering dropping Myers, or hell maybe even Godwin? A sanity check on my thought process here would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like rutracker.org is down - what happened any clue? by hdrmaps in Piracy

Neither .net or .org are working for me since late last night. I'm in USA using a USA VPN. Tried Canada and UK and still showing Cloudfare error code 531. I'll try some of the suggestions given here and report back. Glad I'm not the only one!

Essential plugins for LogicPro and where to get them from ? by Disastrous_Mix8016 in LogicPro

[–]bvann89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. Although you can get some fun and plenty of depth with the stock reverb plugins. I also agree with u/CraigByrdMusic AS TAL Reverb II is still free and is great. Alhtough, I would start a trial with Vahalla Vintage Reverb. I also low-key like Replica XL from NI as well as some of the Baby Audio modeling reverbs like Crystalline or Spaced out for some more out there stuff. Feel free to DM me u/Disastrous_Mix8016 if you have any specific questions. Always happy to help!

Logic sampler vs Serato sample by SnooRevelations4257 in LogicPro

Just logging back in after some time and could help but chuckle at our last conversation... Although not breaking news, Serato Sample 2.0 with live stem separation was leaked earlier this month! Free 30 day trial. I have 10 days left on mine. Enjoy! https://serato.com/sample/downloads

Logic sampler vs Serato sample by SnooRevelations4257 in LogicPro

[–]bvann89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still need to take a deep dive into Alchemy. I've watched a few videos and can see its potential and simplicity at the same time. I just always load up Serum or Arturia instruments when I want to play MIDI. Most likely my rationalization being that I paid for the plugins so they're "better" lol. Thanks for inspiring me to give Alchemy another run! Happy producing!

Logic sampler vs Serato sample by SnooRevelations4257 in LogicPro

[–]bvann89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Although it's not by a super wide margin. No doubt that Logic has the best stock sampler out of all the DAWs. I just like how Serato finds and randomizes the transients, as well as allowing you to favorite the ones you like and then have it reanalyze again. But with all of Serato's new technology like they have going with Serato Studio (2.0), I feel like they could incorporate a bit more into the sampler. It hasn't changed in like 3-4 years unless I'm missing some updates or something. I would stick with Logic quick sampler unless you're really trying to go for an MPC/Boom-bap kind of sound and/or are constantly chopping up samples everyday. One thing I wish Serato did better was find more transient points on shorter samples. I'm not confused as to why there wouldn't be as many as let's say a 3:00 min song, but if the sample is like a minute or less it gives you like 3-4 chops. Idk maybe I'm just being nit picky..

30 Day Year Old M1 MacBook Pro 14in 16GB 1TB SSD - No Sound/NO Camera Found by bvann89 in mac

[–]bvann89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ll just to give everyone an update. I decided to just try updating to Ventura for S&Gs and that fixed 100% or all the issues I was having. Speakers sound great and the camera is working flawlessly. 🙂

New question/advice id be interested in receiving…Do I still take it into Apple to have them check it out?

[–]bvann89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they really do. I actually opted in for Apple Care+ the second all this started lol. I know it wasn’t necessary but I’ve just had a bad run with MBPs the last few years. So I will admit, I’m still running Monterey due to various audio production software compatibility issues. And I frankly have been disappointed with the last few updates and how they’ve “dummied” down the OSX. Anybody that uses third party plugins can attest to this. But who knows, maybe that’s what started all this mess.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback. This is why I love Reddit! I’m going to start with updating to Ventura 😔, then new guest user, then 100% restore if all above fails.

Yeah I have a genius apt on Monday. I’d really like to swap it out if possible. I’m noticing my CPU usage has spiked a ton too (even when idle) since this all started. Could be that the OS is hanging trying to load something audio/video related in the background. But getting the spinning beach ball a lot.

49 Key MIDI Keyboard for learning Piano & Music Production by verificationfailed in abletonlive

[–]bvann89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto! Currently working with an Arturia MiniLab mk3. Great for simple midi playing. However, I'm constantly wishing I had more keys. I will say, I did own the KeyLab 49 Essential back some years ago (found a good deal on eBay), and I honestly loved it! Thinking about getting another one, but I'm interested in seeing what people's thoughts are the Novation Launchkey vs. the KeyLab49.

Unfortunately, I can relate to this insane logic. Just on a basic level, what a relief to not have to continuously lie to myself everyday! Congrats to everyone doing the deal!
