Re: Native Instruments launch sounds.com loops and samples site

Totally agree Guy. It WAS the most pessimistic prophecy I brought forth - one in which we will be forced :) There's probably also the lesson learned from Spotify and the likes: That you can't really make money off it, unless you have a product that "sells"/streams by the billion. I guess a...

Re: Native Instruments launch sounds.com loops and samples site

It seems especially significant since it's bound to wind up integrated in Kontakt, and that worries me a bit. Once the way for subscription based Kontakt libraries is paved, who knows how long it'll be before we're all forced into the Kontakt equivalent of Composer Cloud. Obviously, that's the darke...

Re: Goodbye, Walter. And thank you for all the music

I totally get that Larry. Amazing song, regardless. I must be one of the very few Dan fans who encountered - and listened a lot to - the old demo version before hearing the album version. Probably on account of me being a youngster who came upon the band in the age of Napster. (As penitence for my s...

Re: Black Friday 2017

Yes! I finally jumped on the FabFilter train with this deal. Got the Pro bundle, so I should be set for now when it comes to mixing tools. (Yeah right!)

Re: Goodbye, Walter. And thank you for all the music

No, don't take a break. It's great to get to wallow in nerdy appreciation of a band that none of my friends "gets" :) The dutch cover band is really good! Vocal is about as good as it can be - but I still have the same problem I have with the SD songs David Palmer sings on. There's just a ...

Re: Goodbye, Walter. And thank you for all the music

Oh man. Love that album to bits. Listened to it just this morning actually. Honorable mention should also go to West of Hollywood. An incredible pop tune with some really creative harmonic progressions - and that 4+ minute Chris Potter tenor solo closing the track is outstanding. Also just realized ...

Re: Black Friday 2017

So, I need a quick verdict from you guys. I'm horribly tempted to buy Cinematic Studio Strings while on sale, but as I already own Hollywood Strings, LASS, Berlin Strings, Spitfire Chamber Strings and Soaring Strings, it does feel a little indulgent and unnecessary. Yet, everyone raves about it bein...

Re: Goodbye, Walter. And thank you for all the music

In rememberance I listened to Steely Dan most of yesterday, but don't forget Walter's solo output that allowed him to get really trippy with his reggae / dub influences.

Love this song:

Re: Goodbye, Walter. And thank you for all the music

Seriously 2017? NOT cool! Even though I'm a youngster that was born after most of Steely Dan's output came out, it is the band that I've consistently returned to throughout my twenties and thirties. So many layers of complexity that you're never really "done" with it. Walter was a great mu...
