Hi Everyone and Happy New Year! Just wondering what some of your favourite realistic-sounding Piano VSTs are? My go-to in trailer tracks is the Felt Piano from Spitfire's Olafur Arnalds Toolkit, but I need something a little less soft for a project I'm working on. I've been using Addictive Keys from XLN Audio for years in personal projects, but I'm not sure it quite has the realism I want/need for this professional project. Though interested if anyone disagrees! Let me know your thoughts! I'm hoping not to break the bank on another piano, but I'd love to have something that sounds super realistic to slot into my wider instrument collection (Nucleus, Metropolis Ark, Damage 2, Gravity etc) Thanks all!

Hey guys, 😱 So just a little bit of a rant here and warning to you that even when you REALLY know ChatGPT and set rules with it, and it assures you it will stick to those rules...it won't. It is designed to lie to you and I've had it admit this to me many times. But today I've just hit a frustration level where I just wanted to drop a warning to you all. 👀 Previously, I've figured out how it will lie about things it can do...and worked around it pretty well. i.e. Creating certain file types or templates, or workflows, and I have sniffed out the BS and not had it waste too much of my time. 👉🏻 This caused me to create rules with it where it promised me that if I told it not to lie, it would stop the lie and tell me the truth. ⚡️ Flash forward to the last few days where I caught it again lying to me about analyzing audio files and assuring me it was doing analysis despite me questioning it and telling it I didn't believe it was. It continued to lie. Today it just wasted another 2hrs of my time and this time real money because of it lying. ‼️ ⚠️ So just be warned that even when you have caught it, called it out, had it promise it will be truthful from now on, etc, etc...it will NOT. Full Stop. Hopefully this can save some of you misery and wall-punching fury! For your amusement and education, some receipts. 🧠 AND, the final attachment - written by ChatGPT itself to document and call out its disturbing behavior (I thought that was pretty funny)

Hey everyone, just curious about what track from a band or an artist have you listened on repeat during the last days. I don't mean like "Yes, this is a track I quite like" repeat. I am talking "why tf do I have to listen to this track whenever I can, even if it's in between breaks of making music and in the night I wake up because the chorus runs on repeat in my mind 24/7" repeat! I go first 😅

Hi all, here's a site I came across which lists various types of synthesizer and companies that have produced a VST version in case you were after a particular model: https://virtualsynthesizers.com/

Hey everyone, here is what I have in mind about how things will develop from the beginning of December 2024. - Platinum and the Gold Membership will merge into one Audio Artist Rise Program. - Everybody who is currently a Platinum member will keep lifetime access as promised! I will always be here for you! - Everybody who is an existing Gold member (and who is signing up until 1st Dec 2024 for the Gold Membership) will get the opportunity to change your membership to lifetime status. Basically we will deduct the monthly fees from the final price of $3000. - The price FOR NEW MEMBERS will increase from $149 to $199 /month. There will also be an annual membership price plan available ($1990 /year) - The live call slots on Tuesday will be opened up for Gold members to four instead of two calls. - The livecall archive would open up for everyone. - No more lifetime membership option. - I am considering a 7 Day free trial at some point. - At a later stage, and depending on how quickly the Audio Artist Rise Program is growing, the price will finally increase to $249 /month or $2490 /year. Then, all six live calls slots will be available to everyone. Got questions, feedback, suggestions? I am listening 🤗 If you lock in NOW and before the end of December 2024, the current price of $149 /month and the lifetime option will stay and will NOT change. In fact, no price you got into the program will ever change. It is only and always only for new members. Interested in finally turning your passion into a thriving career?
