Re: Universal Audio is giving away a Native channel strip

UA Connect will launch every time you instantiate the plugin. If you don't like that sort of thing, delete all the UA Connect stuff once you're done installing. My UA plugs open fine without it. YMMV.

Re: Do you use ear buds?

Very frequently. At the gym, doing chores, vacuuming, cooking, on airplanes, when I'm doing hobby-things. I'm not looking for an exceptional audio experience, I'm looking for music to keep me company. I use the JBL Endurance Race TWS. They are comfortable and never fall out of my ears. They happen t...

Re: Pro Tools 2024.6

Does a full version of RePitch Elements comes with this upgrade? Or just a demo version?

Re: NI Action Strings 2.2 update

I wish Kontakt had folders on the side panel. That way I could put all my guitars in one panel, all my strings in one panel, etc etc. Tidy things up a bit, save all the scrolling.

Re: iZotope Neutron 4 Elements for Free

Deleted. Wrong product.

Edited to add: if Neutron 4 Elements is as limited as Ozone 11 Elements, it's probably not worth installing (but grab a license in case it's helpful for upgrades someday).

If you go there and click in Purchase, a chatbot window comes up, and if you click enough "no that didn't help," it opens a support ticket window.

Re: Connect the mic and headphones

Hey Dominic,

You don't need a mic or headphones to use Bunker Strings, and you don't need Bunker Strings to use a mic or headphones. Thus it's probably a problem with your computer settings. Can you elaborate a little on your setup?

Re: New iZotope Trash and free Trash Lite

Installed Trash Lite (or Trash Free, depending on who at iZotope named which file). Looks fine.

Activated old Trash 2 license. Still no upgrade price, though they'll gladly sell me an upgrade from Iris/Breaktweaker/etc for $49.

BestService has the upgrade for ~$27 USD, though I'm not really tempted.

Re: New iZotope Trash and free Trash Lite

$79 (reg $99). Haven't seen anything about a discount for Trash 2 owners. Can't figure out how to get Trash Lite, but I'm not trying very hard. Oh! I just clicked and £19 for me who has Trash 2. That's below my impulse buy threshold, and I like the look of the X/Y pads to get a custom sound quickly...
