Steinberg is doing away with VST2 completely. Late 2013 we announced that the Software Development Kit (SDK) for VST 2 would no longer be maintained and would only be available as subset of the VST 3 SDK. Five years down the line and this transitional phase is now also coming to an end. From October...

Even Reaper now supports VST3.

+1 - Want to be able to use my Aira Plug Out synths.

I had Live Intro and purchased an upgrade to Live 8. When I installed the upgrade, it didn't replace the old library, but merged the two. In instances where the effect preset existed in the initial library, it duplicated it, so in my effects list for a reverb for instance, I now have ROOM and ROOM_1...

I just bought my MPD18 this last weekend. Everything I had seen so far was really positive on it, so I didn't think twice about buying it.

Can you adjust your pickups at all? There should be a couple of screws next to them. Turning them one way will lower the pickup and vice versa. Bringing the pickups closer to your strings may help.

I too was a big industrial fan in high school. I listened to them a ton. Over the years my musical tastes have expanded, but these guys still have a pretty dominant spot in my library and regular rotation. And while I know it was quite a departure from their regular sound, I was a huge fan of The Pr...
