Although I don't recommend going to Sonoma this early, on a matter of principle, the "double-click" on menu might be by design as there seems to be an unfortunate new UX trend in that regard, which I'm noticing on some of my work apps on Windows at the office.

Oh, so that's the reason Numark and Denon stopped making pro audio gear? I forgot they're part of InMusic now.

A pretty good chunk of that lib got put into SampleTank one version ago, maybe even more of it in current version, but I don't think the wind/breath controller mappings made it.

Ah, I forgot you were talking about Standard vs. Pro, and on its own vs. a not-so-suite deal. Even so, with all the quality plugs out there now from folks like Sonible, that are much cheaper and more advanced in most ways, the selling point for a $100 upgrade on an iZotope product has to be in the q...

The Music Production Suite upgrade is several hundred dollars. So much for loyalty. Both Ozone and Nectar are updated. I could now kick myself for not prioritizing preparing my iZotope licenses for sale last weekend, but I had too many top priorities to deal with at once. The rate of quasi-updates i...

Some on GS posted a hugely verbose article from another site, that said even less than the one I posted. :-) But James is right, that talking about going private is an important fact amidst what otherwise is word salad. As someone who has worked in both public and private companies, I am fully aware...

My experience has been the opposite, even when they replaced my first one under warranty terms. Very frequently, anything attached to it simply fails to be seen by any part of macOS even when digging in to the command line. Now that eLicenser has gone away (I had to have three of them, plus iLok!), ...

This article today about the closing of the sale of Avid to STG seems to be an example of how to say a lot without saying anything. The shareholders are happy, so I guess that's what counts. :shock: https://www.mixonline.com/business/breaking-avid-acquired-for-1-4-billion?utm_term=F5289DEA-472F-45E3...

Wow, I had somehow missed the connection to the Soundwide buyout and merger of NI, Plugin Alliance, iZotope. But as the author says, it is unlikely that Avid would be folded into such an entity. Some great points in the article, and it was good to see alternatives listed, for the NI product family, ...

Hard to say. They had started farming stuff out to contracting firms overseas and not many were left in the core Pro Tools team. But of course there are other products, and video is a bigger cash cow than audio. Additionally, there's always the question of what happens to Sibelius. Although I've cea...

Yep, I saw that yesterday via a regular email update from Mix Magazine, but forgot to post it, or maybe decided not to as it is so lacking in information. Hopefully we'll know more within the coming week. Some of you know that during one of their consolidation phases, the Pro Tools team was pushed f...

Many years ago, I commissioned a custom Cittern from Montana, probably Weber but it's too long ago (it wasn't Flatiron). I sold it to a specialty player in the Sierra Nevada a few years later after concluding I would never have time to master it. I may still have an email receipt or other data I can...

New update released today. I didn't read the notes so don't know if it is meant to address the platform issue.

Oh wow, that might be why several of my reverbs were crashing earlier! I've recently taken to using mono-to-stereo reverbs with HPF's, LPF's and low shelfs, as a way to give a natural stereo spread of controlled frequency ranges vs. using image widener plugins. But once I pushed my mon o-to-stereo p...

I've been holding off on posting, as I thought I had lost the link to a new-to-me aftermarket add-on manufacturer who I discovered by accident a couple of weeks ago. Turns out that I did bookmark their site in a less-used browser, so I found the link today for one example unit amongst their collecti...
