- Start date
Really, the later the better for me. I work nights and until next month live an hour from work. I try to placate the Mrs by spending that immediate time with her. What's the later end of your availability window?

Nothing probably. Discord is a rip off of Slack aimed at gamers AFAIK.
I'll say this, some of the recent mods (last couple of years), were some of the biggest trolls/baiters before being elevated. Obviously, they cleaned their act before getting put on the mod squad, but some of the biggest former trolls are now mods. It's hilarious.
Edit: Actually, its not a recent development, has been a prerequisite in some cases going back years. LOL

With KI coming to windows I can't think of any reason to keep my xbone.
Yeah, I just don't have a set time for you just yet, I'm hoping 9:30 or later, that ok with you?

called Project Cars?

I don't get it
played Project Cars and wasn't feeling it at all - much prefer GT's model from what I experienced, and damn was it a chore to get going compared to how streamlined DC is

That's preferable honestly. I haven't been getting home until like 10:30 or later lately.
just a joke. I appreciate DC for what it is and play an hour or so here and there, but was hoping for more of a sim experience out of the gate.
I personally don't think GT's phyiscs model is all that different from PCars, but the default controller setup in PCcars is garbage.
$280
I think that's what I paid for it after doing the Microsoft Store promo to trade my 360 in for it.
Wellie, I remember you asking:

Ive been doing my own bit of research for my build and it seems like the GTX 970 or R9 390 will do the job for 1080p. But I'm no expert
I'm leaning 390 right now due to the DX12 performance bump that these cards are going to get.
This seems to be the consensus.

AMD 390 or 970. The 390 has been out performing the 970 as of late, and also has more VRAM.
Greg, do you know anything about these programs/add-ons?
I'm feeling inspired again and since I'm likely NOT buying a house this year, I want to spend some money on my recording gear. Some of these cinematic-centric ones seem useful for intros and transitions.

I'm not a huge fan of Heavyocity's stuff to be honest
I have experience with AEON Melodic, Rhythmic, Damage, and the Evolve series... great recordings, great interfaces, but they're all mainly focused around manipulating pre-made extended loops which makes to hard to create truly unique things
the sounds on their own are fantastic out of the box, but it's a bit misleading since they are so heavily processed it's often hard to get them to sit well in your mix unless you know what you're doing
bang for your buck, I'd just look into Komplete or Omnisphere... better to have more tools to work with than just one library that's so focused
edit: if you're stuck on the 'cinematic' side of things and do want a more focused library, look into Sample Logic's Guitars Infinity - incredible amounts of playability when it comes to creating something original, but also has the stings/transitions that you're looking for

This thread right now reminds me of this scene in X-Men Days of Future Past - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oAv-6i6iMI
Thanks my man.
Thanks my man.
Sure! I demand complete control of lyrics!
So Komplete and Omnisphere will provide similar instruments while being more user-controlled?
check my edit
but I don't know what you have access to already or the type of stuff you're trying to make
Omnisphere and Komplete are a catch all though to get your hands dirty - Omnisphere as an instrument, and Komplete as a collection of instruments and tools (EQs, comps, amps, etc.)
it's hard for me to recommend buying such a specific library unless you know it's exactly what you're looking for and have the tools to make it sit well with what you're doing

I have Logic Pro X and all of its add-ons and one vocal filter program whose name escapes me right now. I make fairly standard rock with I guess could be considered some classical elements. Musey, Floydy stuff made exlusively with my keyboard playing bats and then drum tracks.
I'm not in love with the organ or electric keyboard sounds I have available to me in the software and I'm always looking for improvements to the orchestral elements (particularly strings) as well as finding ways to control the drum loops and such better. I have a song that's very Romantic Classical-Esque that I have no percussion on because the program just couldn't mesh with it.
Those cinematic things with the swells and stings would be useful. The biggest weakness in my recordings thus far (other than my vocals) are my transitions and bridges.
Edit: Also, I'm fairly certain it's impossible, but if you have any ways to recreate guitar sounds with a midi keyboard that would be grand. I have a little vst and effect combo I can get some use out of but its a very specialized, niche sound that has been useful on only 2 songs.
knowing your situation, it's really hard to argue against Komplete then - tons of value and covers a nice spectrum
highlights from the base package: full version of Kontakt (what most of those sample libraries like the one you linked and Sample Logic run on), Guitar Rig (amps/fx), Massive/Absynth (synths), Battery (drums), nice collection of pianos/basses, Reaktor (tons of free quality stuff from the community), and some EQ/verb/comp plug-ins

Fuck I wish I prepped for them.
Trying to figure out what to have for dinner right now. A lot of options in my area but nothing is beating the other out.
I usually have some chicken breasts on the ready to sous vide when not 100% sure what to eat. Then find random side item to eat with and I'm good to go.
High protein, low calorie dinner.

I know you got one of those nearby
That is like last option, barf.
I have some chicken breasts in the freezer, maybe I will just do that
NI usually has 2 50% sales a year - around June for Summer and around Thanksgiving (works for upgrades too)
and as for guitar stuff... how technical? I don't have any specific libraries that would emulate many advanced techniques on their own, but if you get creative with processing you can get some great results
What sort of processing tricks could emulate some long-sustained bends or the vibrato-type sustains or whammy shiz?
My keyboard has a pitch shifter joystick that is also supposed to emulate a rising-action type effect but it is rather touchey.
not sure all what's available in Logic Pro, but I'm sure there should be some oscillator you can easily route? or worst comes to worse draw in the pitch envelope manually if it's that touchy live?
