Native Instruments FM8 Soft Synth,¹ This instant

I was lucky and bought this rig for 99 bucks on special. I was not disappointed. I used to own an old DX-21 (cut down version of DX-7), and I'm very happy with the software emulation.

But one caveat - you have to have a good knowledge of of FM synthesis. If you don't have that yet, please try to master it. The manual is pretty good, but not perfect. The menu layout and flow plan of the synth is about as straightforward and practical as you can get. I never had any hardware issues with it, except you have to install the ASIO sound drivers if you want to run it in standalone. If you have studio software and run it as a VST, it should work fine.

Anyway, the biggest pleasure is playing all the hundreds of patches from great sound software engineers and modifying them. The arppegiator is outstanding. If you want an FM synth at a great price, look no further.

By the way, if you want great legacy analogue synths, like the old Moog Modular, or the old Yamaha CS-80, or other great legacy synths, go to Arturia. But my bias goes to Native Instruments. Their customer service is great, and their instruments are fantastic.

Cheers

TJ

Low Price Intervideo WinDVD 8 Gold [OLD VERSION]

WinDVD 8 has many problems on Windows Vista despite claims by its maker that it is compatible. If you run Vista, do not buy WinDVD.

You will find that the boxed retail version crashes when playing mpeg files. The download version behaves differently but fails to play audio when playing MPEG files (as opposed to DVDs).

Support from Corel/Ulead/Intervideo effectively does not exist. The software patch available from Corel fails to install properly. Also, they will not honor returns on the retail product.

If you still want to try this product, definitely do not buy the retail version. They offer a free trial download. Maybe it will work better for you. As for me, money down the drain.Get more detail about Intervideo WinDVD 8 Gold [OLD VERSION].
