Run the UVI Product Portal to update

How about the option of paying a one-time fee over and above the price of the software for lifetime updates... ... luckily, I never took my coat off. I'll see myself out.

I run a decent sized software company and I can tell you this whole thing is very complicated. I moved our company to subscription a number of years ago. It took years to accomplish, was very challenging, and I nearly ran out of cash. Let me tell you a $35,000 a month cash burn is NO FUN. We provide a mission-critical applications for business so it makes sense for our customers to be on subscription and to get constant updates - be that feature innovations or bug fixes. The subscription also includes access to our academy, training staff, and US-based 800 customer support. We work very hard to provide constant value and innovation, and not just sit on the product and take in the revenue. I struggle a bit with a subscription model that is "access only" - in other words, you are just paying to use the product and the product is never updated (ie Plugin Alliance for the most part). Over time, this is a very expensive proposition for the end user. I actually like WUP - because the products keep working if I don't WUP and I can choose to WUP when I see the value in it and I take comfort in the fact WUP is profitable for Waves and therefore they will continue to keep their products functioning through future tech changes. That said, if I ran a professional studio I would highly consider subscription models and just consider them as part of the cost of doing business - like an electric bill. I will also add that if you run a software company, subscription is THE model to shoot for. It creates a very consistent cash flow and when you go to sell your business it's usually valued on a multiple of the subscription revenue as opposed to a multiple of the EBITA (a truly unique situation for software companies); subscription is here to stay.

It is a nice article. On the other hand it is very partial, taking sides with the developers only! I am only working on Windows. I have plugins that are more than 10 years old and they still run without trouble (on W7/W10)! So why should I pay for Apple development? I agree that in such cases the customers (Apple lovers) should pay for it, but the problem is that usual bug fixes (very few) and the Apple compatibility is mixed. Concerning software there are other things to think about. If someone creates a product with obvious problems, then why should the customer pay for correction? Also the automotive industry had to do free upgrades if they tampered something.

I'll miss him. Saw him at fillmore east years ago with rod stewart as his front man. Still remember "ain't superstitious". Legendary.

Such an individualistic player. Fortunate to have got to see him play, many decades ago. This is a big favourite of mine: RIP.

Good idea! You could name it after some sort of rare metal or something...

One aspect of free updates is that it renews attention to a piece of software. So when there is a free update to Scaler, people on this site talk about how much they love Scaler. And this might lead some people who don't have Scaler to buy it. Marketing is an expense. How do you get people to find out about your product? There is a lot of attention when something first comes out, but then it drops off. So companies use freebies, and special sales to get attention. But I am a believer in supporting developers in any way we can.

Also updates for 8-Bit Synth, ICRAM Prepared Piano and Toy Suite

Yes, I saw it, and his very poignant message also. Very touching!

THIS is Jeff Beck for me. Never muscling in there to cram zillions of notes into a track. Just tastefully playing to fit the track In 1992 he appeared on an excellent concept album by ROGER WATERS ( ex Pink Floyd ) called AMUSED TO DEATH ( Recording started in 1987 ). So sit back and listen to his guitar on the BALLAD OF BILL HUBBARD. You may cry .. about WW1. It sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it I will admit a tear in my eye listening to this ..

I only own a couple of things from them so don't go into the UVI Product Portal much, but that is one of the nicer installers I've seen in a long while. Very straightforward, clean and efficient. Nice job UVI!

He was an incredible guitar player with a sound all his own, a true legend.

this is very sad - he really was an incredible guitarist. Unlike most of us, he just seemed to get better and better as he aged.

V COLLECTION 9 upgrade available at checkout too.

RIP. You brought me many many hours of enjoyment to my life. For that I will always be grateful. See you on the other side.

Works on v3 upgrade, knocks it done to $75

Wow, thanks for this. I bought that record but it never really hit me. This is a wonderful testimony.

And great to see them updating this freebie. Love that D-50 in there.

Well, there's a lot of takes on this. On one side, I'm not against charging for updates. I'm not even against WUP, it's a model that somehow makes sense. But the great problem is the price. Doesn't make a lot of sense paying expensive for something that it's more a framework upgrade - something that it's easily fixed and doesn't add nothing new to the plugins. I'm more ok on paying to something that add new features to a plugin - and making a plugin work well with current screen resolutions is not a feature to me..... And remember that WUP includes phone support. I guess that 99% of us never used this, right? Honestly, I think that a very low WUP to just keep the plugins updated (29.00 a year ?), without the phone support included, would work well for Waves and the customers. And maybe a expensive support plan with phone support, to the people that really care about this. On the other side, we have companies like U-He that offer for free some upgrades that could be a really paid upgrade - new features and everything else, and it seems to work well for everyone involved.

Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

This is sad. His playing was so beautiful. He was just touring with Johnny Depp last summer and seemed fine. R. I. P.

Wow! I thought he had a lot of years to go.

I feel security updates should be free. Features and new versions is okay to change. What I am iffy about with these companies is are they releasing perhaps buggy software and patching up bugs in updates. Things like memory and CPU optimization and so on. Who is to say memory leaks are a security patch or a bug update? That one I am not sure about. I guess it's no different than Microsoft releasing patches for Excel over a 10 year period. But these small companies don't have the same war chest as Microsoft et la.

Yes No - it's in the works: https://www.kvraudio.com/focus/amei-to-fund-open-source-midi-2-0-driver-for-windows-56224 Cakewalk is waiting on Microsoft supporting it. Too much to mention. But the main points are: - higher resolution velocity / controllers - devices can now "ask" which capabilities another device has You can read about it here: https://www.midi.org/specifications/midi-2-0-specifications

Per-Output Instruments are a type of Instrument track in Cakewalk, not a type of VSTi,. In Cakewalk you have three types of Instrument tracks: Simple Instrument Tracks - a track strip that contains an Audio Track and a MIDI Track, but shows as one strip. The output of the MIDI track is set to the VSTi MIDI input, and the Audio track input is connected to the first stereo pair of the VSTi outputs. By default, the MIDI track is set to transmit on all channels (i.e. it plays back exactly what you recorded). Split Instrument Tracks - one or more separate MIDI tracks / Audio Tracks. The MIDI tracks outputs are set to the VSTi MIDI input, and the Audio Track inputs are connected to the output(s) of the VSTi audio output(s). The MIDI and Audio tracks appear as separate tracks in the Track View. Per-Output Instrument Tracks - These are a special type of Simple Instrument Track, where you have several combined Audio/MIDI tracks connected to a single VSTi. For each MIDI/Audio track pair, the MIDI output of the MIDI track part is set to a specific channel, and the Audio Input of the Audio track part is connected to a specific VSTi audio output. This allows you to have several "Instrument Tracks" playing different sounds (and each having their own audio fx bin), but using a single VSTi instance. For this to work correctly, you normally have to set the MIDI inputs and Audio outputs of each instrument within the VSTi itself. In essence, a Per-Output Instrument Track is exactly the same as a Simple Instrument Track with the exception that it has it's MIDI output channel set to a single channel. As MPE requires the use of all 16 MIDI channels, you can't use Per-Output Instrument Tracks, because they're set to transmit on a single channel only.

Guys, did anyone of you get an IKM newsletter "IK's MAX deals continue - now through January 9"? I got it on 4th Jan, basically it says that the Sampletank Squared is too extended through January 9th. I bought an (second) item after that email but nothing popped-up in the Promotions page. Anyone had similar experience? On the Sampletank Squared page, which is now down, there was no update of the end date, but there was a pop-up window enticing to buy another item giving impression that the promotion still goes on. Doesn't give great feelings of confidence but I thought I'd pull the trigger again, now not so sure anymore. Waiting for a reply from support.

Hawkwind - Days of the Underground

Undoubtedly the finest guitarist ever! RIP Jeff. t

The L22 is a very fine vocal mic. My issue with it was trying to capture a stereo acoustic guitar track. I opted for the R88, that’s exactly what it was designed for; capturing a stereo image. Just my experience, trying to capture a stereo image with the L22 just didn’t work for me. YMMV? t

Canadian Trio galore Rush - Tears

Very sad news. He was one of those guys who could be truthfully called a genius.

I have a Towsend Labs L22, Slate ML-1 (with the Slate preamp) and the AEA R84. These are my mic locker choices for vocals. I also have the AEA R88 for drum overheads.

very sad to hear this. I loved his music and playing.

Sad news.

Oh wow... ?

The Sweet - Fox on the Run

Next to the issues mentioned, I also have this problem with some plugins after an update which has a higher version number e.g. Pro-Q to Pro-Q 2. Once I see the error message I know or remember that I upgraded the plugin, so it is easy to solve the problem, but it takes some extra steps. I would like to get together with a vastly improved error message (with all the suggestions above mentioned) the option to replace the plugin so I can insert it immediately in the project. I fully agree. The thing I use so far is Project Scope, but it doesn't show which tracks and busses contain which plugins, it doesn't show stereo or mono, steady state, etc. Project Scope could maybe serve as a reference to create something that provides much more extensive and completer project information.
