Had all kind of junk in my VST / AU folder. This year I've collected and tried a bunch of them. I've been going through them recently. Some are worth the drive space they consume. Some not.

This helps to avoid any software conflicts. That's what I was saying about free VST and VI, they can cause conflicts, crashes, hang up, and everything else.

I had a paid compressor and eq that would cause issues, if they were loaded in the same project. However the issue was only between those two, they worked great with everything else. But I could not use them together. Soooooooooo I got rid of both of them. If you can't reinstall all your software in under 45 mins, you have to much stuff on your computer.

Eyalc wrote:My Rhodes arsenal, in order of which I use the most:

Applied Acoustics Lounge Lizard - this is my favorite EP, by far, and to my ear - way better than the Waves product.

Gospel Musicians Neo-Soul Keys - this is my second favorite - some REALLY good EPs, with a neo-soul vibe

Spectrasonics Keyscape - This is my least favorite, but if you’re into knob turning to create something unique, this is by far the most flexible.

For me, Lounge Lizard and Neo-soul keys are my #1 and #2 options. Keyscape is a distant 3rd. And my opinion based on my ear and production needs of course. I know some folks that wouldn’t use anything other than Keyscape, and that’s cool too.

Danoc wrote:Yeah, thank E and Charles I am glad I asked. Lounge Lizard, does that work on an Offline computer? Where I can down load on my laptop and then bring the file over to my offline and use a serial without going through iLok or a dongle? I am looking at that. I heard that on your song E, please let me know. I'm going to get the Gospel Musicians Pure Platinum 2 joint, that is great for RnB. I won't go the Key Scape route. I have True Pianos and my Eastwest Pianos to use.

4x WD RED in each bay.

NAS given to me when someone went out of business and has held me down since 2014.
