Re: Machfive 4 this year?

UVI apparently didn't think some of this through. Since they do have an old general library in Plugsound Pro, including it should have been a no-brainier. They offered it for $75 on sale just last month (I didn't bite). Well, like the post-hoc crossgrade, another almost-timely retroactive fix from ...

Re: Orchestral Libraries Again

Here's a useful review (or rather, self-assessment) from Kerestes (audiobro) himself: Here's the deal... we are very proud of our collaboration with NI and SESS (NI Strings), but it is not a replacement for LASS... more of a compliment and different flavor. It has a beautiful sound of its own. I per...

960Tb? You're kidding!
And then I woke up. Gb only I'm afraid.

Re: Machfive 4 this year?

I never did the M52 to M53 upgrade, so I bit on the Falcon intro plus voucher offer, which ends today. So far, very very nice on its own terms, plus it gives me a good platform from which to continue to use my considerable amount of M52 samples and other UVI instruments. The sound is gorgeous it mus...

Re: SSD Drives: Samsung EVO vs. PRO

This is what you'd expect. From anandtech: "Some of you are likely skeptical about the effect on endurance since rewriting the data will consume P/E cycles, but I find this to be a non-issue. We know that Samsung's 19nm TLC NAND is rated at 1,000 P/E cycles, so if the drive was to refresh all c...

Re: SSD Drives: Samsung EVO vs. PRO

All good stuff above, but are you thinking about two SSDs, one for samples and one for system, or just one to do both jobs (which is eminently possible with SSDs although we don't know how big your sample library is) ? Because I'd say the standards for those jobs are different. For the system/main d...

Re: Machfive 4 this year?

I would really, really, really like to know from MOTU whether MachFive is a dead letter as far as further development.... Dave? Anybody? Helps to know how to spend one's resources... P.S. I'm aware that Olivier used "help people to migrate to Falcon" language in the crossgrade offer. I'm n...

Re: Machfive 4 this year?

Indeed. If there's a reasonable upgrade path, I'll go for it.

Re: Pitch Shifter Recommendation?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scz8Kh2Cd2g That would be a resounding yes. And, since I need this capability, it ends, at long last, my multi-yearly on-again-off-again flirtation with upgrading to MachFive 3; it's a go. Looked at the price on IRCAM Labs TS ($250!) and - with everything else in the...

Re: Pitch Shifter Recommendation?

Out of curiosity: Is there a way to use MachFive 3 to, for example, timestretch/timecompress a 4-minute long file? Or is that sort of job solely the province of external solutions?

Re: Codex Redux

Dunno. I just installed it with the complete waves downloadable installer according to the Waves' website instructions and it worked. I didn't do anything special or different from any other Waves plug I've ever used. Sorry... :?:

Re: Codex Redux

I can now answer my own question after demoing: Yes, it does.
