    You know what sucks? Thomann.

    I have to say that my experiences with Thomann always went exceptionally well, especially when something went wrong. Once they shipped something damaged. I called them, there was no discussion at all - they immediately shipped out a new one, arrived the next day. I was told to send back the...

    Job Offer:Drum Quantizing

    Heyhey, I didn't intend to bitch at all! I just wanted to reference the discussion above, where some people were pretty critical of the compensation offered. All I wanted to express was: "While I understand your criticism, it still makes sense to me personally and this is why."

    Job Offer:Drum Quantizing

    Well I applied. No, I'm not 19 anymore and I too think that the payment offered is a bit on the low side. Especially if you factor in what a dollar is worth these days. But, I'm about to mix a full length, I'm only getting the files on sunday though. So basically I've got nothing to do til then...

    Exit Sandman: Kirk Hammett on accordeon!

    I don't understand a word, but this sounds GREAT! Crazy as shit, and sonically flawless, magnificent! :rock:

    NI CAN GO EAT A BAG OF DIRTY OLD GUY DICKS.

    You see, you somehow installed Kontakt, not Kontakt PLAYER 3.5. That is probably why you need to activate or enter a serial number in the first place. If you download the update like I described on the last page you shouldn's even be seeing this. Mine was activated from the start, didn' ask for...

    NI CAN GO EAT A BAG OF DIRTY OLD GUY DICKS.

    Kontakt PLAYER 3.5 is a free upgrade to the Kontakt Player 2.5 that's included with SSD and many other sample libraries. Maybe you accidentially downloaded a demo of the full version of Kontakt (no "player" in the name)? I don't know.

    NI CAN GO EAT A BAG OF DIRTY OLD GUY DICKS.

    Yes there is. Originally it was scheduled to be hear about half a year ago (and badly needed) but better late than never, i guess? Go to: https://co.native-instruments.com/?id=updates Login with the Email Adress you used for product activation / redistration. On the next page, choose...

    NI CAN GO EAT A BAG OF DIRTY OLD GUY DICKS.

    That's not true anymore, version 3.5 of the Kontakt Player was finally released recently after being delayed countless times. Although it admittedly came much too late with the old version having that many problems, it now fixes this problem and many others. Steven had been giving out the 3.5...

    Overhead compression

    If you compress them as two mono, you'll fuck with the stereo image. Just imagine, everytime someting loud happens on the right side, compressor kicks in, but not on the left side. This would be like playing with the pan knob all the time ;-)

    Overhead compression

    I changed to a fast attack (1ms) recently. After doing three projects with this setting (real drums), I can say that I clearly like it better. At first I couldn't decide. It didn't sound better or worse, just different. But when mixing time came and the whole project was coming together, it was...

    can't figure out this drumagog problem

    This is normal behaviour. There seems to be some amount of randomness in drumagog's triggering. However, by playing around with the sensitivity and especially resolution (sets the time that needs to pass before a new hit can be triggered) you absolutely should be able to solve this.

    Utter fucking nightmare sessions

    Great stuff! :rock: When editing drums yesterday, thinking back, I was in desperate need of a drink actually. Drummer was not that bad, but no metal, like, psychedelic rock with organs and e-pianos (think the doors). Seriously, there must be 5000+ ghost notes on snare and off-beat accents on...

    Question to all FireWire interface users (the FINAL question! *drama*)

    RME is the shit when it comes to drivers. They were the first to offer 32 samples latency on firewire, and the first to make it work stable. Having used their PCI Hammerfall Interfaces for a long time before firewire interfaces even were available, IMHO their driver support is legendary. Back in...

    Snare 12A z1 Crack 5

    Well, this is pretty standard practice with every software I can think of. Buy the "light" version and then upgrade to the full version later, and you pay a little more. Or, to not put so negatively: Poeple who decide to go the "big" thing right away get a little discount. And that is pretty...

    Snare 12A z1 Crack 5

    SLATE, GET YOUR ASS IN HERE AND TAKE CARE OF THAT MAN! :heh: Seriously though, they treated me very well and there were no problems with the free upgrades whatsoever. I got version 2, 2.5 beta and then 3.0, the latter of which is a large improvement by the way. Did you ask again? I wouldn't...
