I keep my fax machine on a dedicated traditional landline for the exact same reason.

What's a "fax machine"?

A fax machine is a physical device that you put a document in and it tests the veracity of all the information contained therein. It will also simultaneously scan or print said document but will also check and correct all facts. I use it to proof read my scores.

Dominus Freebie for Halloween

Post by cuttime »

From Fluffy Audio. A very nice one not to be missed. Not sure how long it will be available. I'm not a shil for F.A., but I'm liking their stuff more and more. The Danny Elfman demo is not really a good one. Just happy to pass it on:

If you got Quadravox from Evantide for free like I did (thanks for the tip cuttime!), for two more days you can get Octovox for $29 from Evantide as a crossgrade. In addition to doubling the number of available harmony voices for 4 to 8, Ocotvox adds MIDI control over pitch shifting. I'm gonna' jump on this one.

Because you know you need another reverb:

It took over 6 hours before it showed in my Native Access account; be patient.

NI RAUM Reverb

Post by monkey man »

Yeah cuttime, there's a warning in red type on the NI site's page that appears after you click the "Free Download" button on the RAUM page:
Due to high demand, some users are finding it currently takes longer for RAUM to appear in Native Access. Please note this can take up to two hours at the moment. We’re sorry for the delay, and hope you have fun once it arrives!

It took 6 in your case, but at least NI's issued the heads-up.
