"Stagelight" Music / Re: "Bruiser" & More Demos

[Philly_Willy]

Don't suppose anyone knows how to record guitar in StageLight? If it's possible at all :\

I'm using the rocksmith real tone cable.

Check spam folder.

 

^^^ This.

 

The email was in my Spam folder too. Which I have no idea why, since all my other LPU emails come through fine..

Interview with Mike

I bought the 15 dollar one and there are no sound packs either. I think the LP "sounds" they were talking about were just the couple demo tracks like Bruiser and space station. I feel pretty ripped off, I would have never bought this unless I thought I was getting those sound packs.

[hahninator]

Is Bruiser not here at all?

[kev]

Is Bruiser not here at all?

Bruiser is included as are two other LP created tracks. However, there are no sound packs like advertised

[gorast]

What songs are you talking about? I can't find a single goddamn thing in this download. This was a shitty rip-off and I'm irritated by it.

[Astat]

Well I guess we can finally get the definitive version of Bruiser, lol. I'm assuming you get the same stuff regardless of whether you download it from the OpenLabs site (with or without the LPU code) or the Dell website? Currently redeeming my LPU code.

 

*Edit* Apparently not...no Bruiser or any LP-related songs in the program after installing it. So if you want the one with Bruiser and stuff, DOWNLOAD THE DELL WEBSITE VERSION! Kind of sucks that the version LPU members get doesn't have any LP music in it, yet the one anyone can buy from Dell does...

 

Hmm. When I installed this software, it also installed some kind of audio driver or whatever. ASIO, if I'm not mistaken.

 

I can't listen to the tracks in this Stagelight software. I just hear nothing.

I tried both 64 and 32 bit versions. In Stagelight settings there's only this one driver available, so I can't switch to normal.

 

I can easily Mixdown the tracks, and listen to wav files in my player, but not in the software directly.

 

Also when I launched Adobe Audition - it told me that there's new audio configuration, and switched to this ASIO, or whatever it was. I had to switch back...

 

Anyone had anything similar?

When you install Stagelight, it installs 2 desktop icons - one for a 32-bit version ("Stagelight32) and one for a 64-bit version ("Stagelight"). I couldn't get any sound from the 64-bit version, but the 32-bit one worked just fine.

 

*Edit* WOW, this program is garbage. Looks nice and functional and everything, but it's kind of hard to use a DAW when your CPU usage jumps to 100% within 3 seconds of starting playback and everything lags so bad it's completely unusable! I guess the catch with this being a $10-15 program is that you have to have a $1,200 computer in order to use it. Nice!

Did you guys remember the Code?

I think they programmed the Emails and after 24 hours the Code disappears from emails xD

I don't have the link and the code neihter.

I got no sound on either version, then again I'm only on a notebook. I have the same performance problems, laggy as hell and the loading process of all the plugins takes pretty long.

Complementary is made from lp samples right? So where does stagelight get it from?

[gorast]

Do the LPU codes work for the Dell website version or no?

[Astat]

Do the LPU codes work for the Dell website version or no?

Nope, looks like you have to pay the $15 for that one.

[Geki]

So basically you can't hear any exclusive LP demos with the LPU code?

[rahulsethi]

I just can't get this thing to work !! no sound from either 32 bit or 64 bit version

[kev]

I'm going to go ahead and throw my two cents in here for prospective buyers. This is not worth it at all, LP edition or not. It comes with none of the promised "sound packs" and only includes a few demos, which are obviously just something Mike threw together quickly, basically all similar in structure to complimentary. As far as the actual program goes, nothing but trouble as well. My computer can barely run it and there are far better recording programs available out there. I'm almost sad that Mike has attached his name to this. It's almost like they used these supposed sound packs to bait LP fans into buying it. It's really disappointing that we were promised one thing at purchase and denied it in the actual software. This is one of the shadier things LP has been tied up in. Just my two cents

[Astat]

UPDATE: If you want the "Linkin Park Edition" of Stagelight (yes, it's actually called that), GO HERE: http://www.openlabs.com/index.php/Download...nparkstagelight You'll be able to use the same product key you got with your LPU email this way, but you'll get the "correct" version with the LP demo songs and such. I honestly think this whole confusion was just a matter of someone using the wrong download link at some point along the line.

 

Also, it seems like the LP Edition has a lot more to it than the standard one...the installer .exe files are roughly 280 MB for the standard version, and 909 MB for the LP edition. I highly doubt that big of a difference comes just from the inclusion of a couple demo tracks...

thanks so much for this hint, Astat

[wiiesel]

Bruiser is there

downloading right now

[gorast]

Will the product key still work if we've already used it for the other version? I mean, it's not a big deal because I'm not actually going to use this software (because it sucks), but I'm just curious.

[Astat]

HOLY SHIT, you guys were missing a bunch of stuff that comes with the LP Edition! After installing it, go to this folder: C:\Open Labs Library (this stuff isn't stored in the Stagelight program folders!). In there, you'll find the following, none of which is found in the "standard" edition of Stagelight:

 

Audio Samples folder:

-"Linkin Park" sub-folder w/various LP drum/guitar/bass/synth samples.

 

Drum Kits folder:

-"LP" sub-folder w/TONS of samples.

 

Songs folder:

-4 "full" LP tracks bundled with the software: Bruiser, Space Station, and two more that are just titled "Loop Jam 1" and "Loop Jam 2."

 

Furthermore, a lot of the LP samples included seem to come from existing LP demos! Some of the titles I recognize in the various filenames include Sakura, Holding Company, Chicken Basket, Primo, Episodes, and Seahorse. Other titles that show up include Blacklight, Drano, Numbers, Rooster, Heretic, Grudge, Axis, Plastic, Twister, Casino, Trinity, Kerosena, Monday, Luna, Sandmine, Splinter, Stone, Kingdom, Sputnik, Shortcut, Sentinel, Grey Sky, Florida, Hyper, Paper Shark, Archbishop, and Ribeye (some of these may be "track names" as opposed to names for actual seeds, but most of them appear in numerous audio files, so it seems that they come from sessions for full songs). The samples in the Drum Kits folder even include samples from released songs like Lies Greed Misery, Roads Untraveled, Castle of Glass, Divided, Pale, and some of the songs from The Raid score. Most of them are just drum kit samples, but still - LOTS of LP stuff in there!

 

Also, I can now finally confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that this song is NOT Bruiser. I have no idea where it came from, but it's not found in Stagelight, while the real version of Bruiser (which DOES sound a lot like Wretches and Kings, like the original description from the LPU Summit said it did!) is.

[Jgrosk]

So what all comes with the LP edition?

 

Edit: Never mind

Holy shit. Guess it wasn't a rip-off after all. I'm really excited to hear these tracks.

[RogueSoul]

Trying to use XQuarts to open it on my Mac... may take awhile unfortunately >_> Can't wait to hear these tracks.

[hahninator]

And a round of applause for Astat. Find of the year here, fucking awesome. Maybe we should let him pick our next exclusive we post

 

Fuck yeah man, thanks.
