Thanx for sharing. I'm going to pick up a couple of these.

I just DLed the Ample Guitar, Keyzone Classic and VSCO2. I will not have time to install these today but my plans are using both the guitar and keys as individual instruments while the orchestra I will use as a double for my other orchestras. Having different orchestra patches using the same MIDI track adds realism to the track.

DSK Overture the VST is free, it is the many copyright free samples on the right that cost $25. You don't need those.

DSK overture is not bad. It allows you to layer up to 4 instruments in one instance and control volumes and pans of all four, so you get to create your own orchestral synth, customized, sort of.

I can see myself experimenting with it some.

At worse case, you have a free Rick Wakeman synth to play around with and that's not bad.

Just be aware - Malwarebytes is blocking the DSK sites due to PUPs.

Too late for me I guess. Norton didn't stop anything, and I am scanning with Malwarebytes and have not found anything yet.

There are suspicious links on there you can't click on like the big green buttons they always warn you of.

DSK was only a .dll and a text message so I guess I am ok.

*******

Update

Just got off phone with Norton. I am ok.

And it is as I said. You are safe if you click the right links but don't fall for any big green flashing click bait buttons that say click to download here.

Those are all over the place though.

I've used DSK plugins before. They are pretty good sounding. Unfortunately they only come in 32 bit format and the newest version of Cubase no longer supports 32 bit plugins.

Everything I have received from DSK (to include the $25 package) has been virus-free; but as David said, watch which links you click on. Many sites seem to intentionally obfuscate the real links.

How is the 25 dollar package ?, I was thinking of purchasing it to add to sample tank.


Is it the same as the freebie or am I missing something I am new to the software side of things,

The "freebie" is a tiny, tiny fraction of the $25 pack and once you order they will let you get a copy of EACH library in EACH format that you need - just ask after buying your initial format(sampletank, soundfont, kontakt, ..)

Ditto that. The guitar is a great looking freebee. Seems like I should be able to find a use for this when I get some time to get back to the studio. Installed with Reaper with no problem. thanks for the link.

Hi jford - thanks for the links. I am currently trying out Ample Guitar MLite II. It has a wonderful sound for a free plugin. I'm having a few issues using it within PTPA, however -- for some reason the built in strummer will not respond to the tempo setting in my .seq file. It is stuck at 110 bpm. Using it as standalone, you can set the tempo from an options screen, but I can't find that option from within the vst when it is loaded in PTPA. Have you had any similar issues with the plugin?

I'm still using PT version 2014 - I'd gladly upgrade PTPA if I knew it would solve my issues with this plugin!

There were some changes made to VSTi handling in RealBand/PowerTracks that I believe will make it work for you, but that was later than 2014. I would suggest doing the upgrade to PowerTracks 2018 (it's not very expensive). Remember PGMusic offers a 30-day money back guarantee, so if it doesn't work for you, you can always revert. But 2018 should in general work better on Windows 10 than 2014. There are other updates that have occurred, as well, over the past four years.

Hi - I updated PTPA and now the Ample guitar plugin is working as expected. Thanks for the suggestion.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
