This might be Major Major Major w/ Andy and Sarai (from yesterday's recording)

Side note: my Jams/Full directory now has over 65GB of 192kbps mp3. Apparently that's about 800 hours, or a bit over a month if played continuously. Maybe I should try listening to it all in order.

P.S. I just overhauled brainal.org yay.

NYC readers -- I'm playing with Decanted Youth at Pianos on Tuesday April 17th at 8pm. If you're reading this blog then you probably have an idea of our music, but if not there's a video of a previous show, or you can listen to any of the "rehearsal with sarai and andy" mp3 links throughout.

In 2016 I made this little sketch of a song (bonus trombone in there! woo), now I'm having fun revisiting/expanding it with Andy and Sarai, here's a new live version with re-recorded (and doubled) vocals added, woot. Also, trying to play drums while trying to sing is extra fun.

a recent email exchange, paraphrased:

On 3/14/18, Someone Else Wrote:
| We have received a project from a user that has Plugin Name that was saved with Plugin Name v1 and 
| now, using Plugin Name v2, the name has changed and the project doesn't load the plug-in.
| 
| The filename for Plugin Name changed, are you saving the filename in the project, or using the VST3 ID?
|
| Project attached.

We save the VST3 ID and the filename (if the VST3 ID is not found, we fall back to the filename).

It appears the ID in the project you attached is encoded as:

41424358595a506c7567696e4e616d65

and the ID v2 of the plug-in exposes is:

41424358595a506c7567696e204e616d

It appears that there's an additional 0x20 inserted in the ID. 0x20 is a space character, and I
noticed that v1 of the plug-in is called "PluginName", and v2 is "Plugin Name"...

Hope this helps!

Justin
