Have to agree here.. the synth sounds “hooj” but thats it. Not worth the infinite installations, registrations, and multiple hoops and data breaches. LOTS of our existing synths sound huge already and honestly has anyone maxed out vital, grainbow or surgext?! I know its BPB’s job to cover ALL the news.. but i’m thinking it will be better if I just hold off on “newness” in favour of “greatness”.

That said, try to type some insane descriptions into UDIO with manual mode on and instrumental mode on, Or get free “sample to text” and get actual “completely new” movements and timbres. THATS FREE with 1 hoop.

Thanks, Darryl!

It seems the server showed you an old cached version of the page without the comments. If that happens, please refresh the page to see the latest content.

We are working on a website overhaul that will fix this and some other minor issues.

This has been the norm here for a couple years already, so i assume it is a bug with the site’s old code. BPB are in the process of overhauling the site, & i believe in them, that issues like these could be fixed by V2.0.

In the mean time, you just gotta delete the extra parameters in the URL, & refresh the whole page, & all comments should reappear. Do it like this:

bedroomproducersblog DOT com/2024/07/05/steinberg-x-stream/#comments
(–> remove the “/#comments”)
bedroomproducersblog DOT com/2024/07/05/steinberg-x-stream/
(–> make sure the “/” remains at the end, click on “reload page”, & everything should reappear :))

Thank you, and glad it’s helpful! :)

This kinda meets my experience. As far as I could see there’s no consistency in names and versions, you arrive at pages that seems to makes no sense, for things seem to be there but also not there ar the same time. Just went there for some library (Studio Strings) and got lost on their site. The relationship with their (?) forum also is unclear. When you want know something you have to make an account there. Et etc. In a comment above it is mentioned Sonic is free, but Sonic 3 was paid, where Sonic 3 SE was free. But Sonic 3 (SE) featured alongside Halion 6. Since we are on BPB here, Sonic is most relevant to us. I think some manufacturers focus too much on the quality of their ‘core’ software, but neglect user friendliness and the environment their product has to function in. When you want to lure in potential customers with free products you should make things complicated with dedicated software centers, making a, or sometimes even multiple accounts as if you had bought their product (for which you are willing to go some more miles to get it working). Finally, of course things are rather clear when you start with a clean sheet, but when you already have installed earlier versions installing an update/upgrade for some free plugin may make you lose all you had already.

Congratulations. 👏
