That's pretty much why PayPal will refund you if it comes to that. You launch a dispute real quick, and the guy probably won't respond to PayPal's emails either as they try to settle it on your behalf. Then PayPal decides in your favor by default and refunds you. I think I've had to do that twice now as a last resort. Most people don't know they can do that. They think it's software and thus non-refundable, but I don't see it that way if I'm getting the silent treatment lol 

Thanks. I am pretty patient and try to give small developers some leeway

I was reading about it here https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=561272&sid=d1145790c1e2c775debda1965dc6a2b7&start=255

Just skip to page 17/18. Some say it crashed in their setup and others have no problems at all. I bought it for the $9.99 yesterday though I won't be able to use it for a few weeks when I'm back in the studio. I paid through PayPal. If the plug doesn't work for me I'll ask for a refund or tech support from the dev. If I get none of those things I'll just get a refund through PayPal. Won't be the first time I had to do that w/ a dev who left me hanging, so I'm not too worried. 

I might go that route since Natan ignores my emails

Nice freebie, but pretty sure they announced this about 5 years ago

Well if it's a Nugen Voucher it only follows that it would only be Nugen products

Figured that but never hurts to ask

EveryPlugin is accepting the $100 Voucher

As in for all products or just Nugen?

I got it as a freebie and have no idea what it does. Maybe it's a plugin designed to make you guess

Not sure my woman would accept such a strong commitment to WUP.  

Confused. Wasn't there always a trial?

can you use jam points on top of discount?

This is super tempting. For those who use both, how does this compare to addictive drums

 Is it worth it if you already own AD?

It seems like Slate has been really pushing to include more tiers of customers lately

I see the limits but honestly they are mild once you get accustomed to actual mpc workflow. The 8 track limit is somewhat deceptive since a program can be absolutely humongous. If i have a drumkit with 128 individual tracks with a separate mixer channel for each pad, that counts as one track.  With that said, I realize it is not for everyone since the workflow is radically different.  I only asked because it seems like a person wanting something like an mpc would just use an mpc.   I can see where they wouldn't want to dig in that deeply 

Is there any advantage to using sitala like an MPC over using MPC Beats?

Style Dials run on top of Cakewalk VST's. Sonitus plugins are DirectX based.

Not contradicting this because I have no idea, but how do you know they are strictly based on VSTs?  

As mentioned, bandlab and cakewalk by bandlab are two different things.  That kit isn't available directly available, but there are options;

1) there are tons of free 909 emulations like

https://plugins4free.com/plugin/2376/

2) there are vst samplers and drum samplers with 909 kits. You can even download thewe exact sounds and make your own 909 kit using something like sitala

I suspect style dials are almost all sonitus under the hood

And since it has been almost 4 years without BandLab re-releasing ANY of the old premium Cakewalk developed plugins, I sense that they really are not all that interested in pursuing further plugin development and support. They would most likely have pushed something out by this point if they were...

They did finally release la2a lol

I ignore all the included instruments and fx in S1 because I ignore S1. It would be nice if they made them accessible outside of S1. It's not like the user hasn't paid for a licence to use them, so it shouldn't matter where they get used.

I think sometimes we go into video game mode when projecting "how easy" it would be for companies to offer products. I am sure they could wrap any of them up into a vst and release them, but then I think of the possible pitfalls vs reward. It may seem like it costs them nothing to do so, but I have to wonder what the cost analysis of supporting these VSTs that will very likely have tech issues (just like every vst) that vary with DAWs.  These stock instruments/fx are fairly stable with S1 because they were coded to specifically work with S1 from the beginning. Instruments like impact and sample one are tightly integrated with S1 and who knows jow that coding would affect stability when ised outside of that system.The fact that I can't think of a single S1 instrument or effect that is heads and tails above comparable DAW stock plugs gives me even less reason to see incentive for them to create a new level of support with low potential gain. Just my take

This topic went in a very similar manner 4 years ago on the old forum. I suppose anything is possible. Just not gonna hold my breath.

it was 29 not long time ago right ?

1 to two weeks ago. I am starting to get a very waves vibe from them minus the WUP. 

These companies seriously need to put enough space between these "sales" to allow us to forget that it was just on sale for less.

The arguably best thing about Reaper is arguably the worst thing about Reaper.  The fact that most of the applause I see about Reaper mentions customization is a reminder that many find it less than appealing out the box. Reaper's model will never lead to it being "my favorite artist's primary DAW" but that's ok. The model and pricing scheme is just right for maintaining a steady base who can do anything any other DAW can do. 

Imho high ticket items like orchestral libraries probably give best shot at success if one is going the proprietary route

Has anyone tried this lately? https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=ProChannel.10.html

The FX Chain module

"The FX Chain module allows you to use FX Chains (see Effects chains) and individual audio effects within the ProChannel signal flow. The FX Chain module can be used as an FX Rack that can be inserted between other ProChannel modules.

An FX Chain is a container that can include multiple audio plug-ins. Assignable knobs and buttons can control automatable plug-in parameters in the FX Chain. An FX Chain preset can store up to six assignable knobs and six assignable buttons."

 

I have . I made my own great value  RC-20 by chaining a a few plugins like izotope vinyl, chow tape,  ujam finisher micro and a couple of others

The "Pause" was primarily due to the "imminent demise" of Sonar...not because there wasn't a market...
and NOW that it's FREE, and everybody and his grandma can have Sonar (Cakewalk), THAT can only
mean the market has GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY and EXPONENTIALLY, and not "deminished"!

Except the pause came before cakewalk folded. In fact it never gained any steam despite 4 different versions of Sonar . Yes, Sonar is free, as are multiple DAWs and plugins. Doesn't mean everybody and his grandma is actually using it. If you have numbers showing Cakewalk usage has actually increased beyond the numbers of sonar at peak since Bandlab acquisition, I would love to see. I am doubtful there is a big enough spike to generate an interest in developing  modules that were not there prior to cakewalk folding. I get your point but it is based on an unvetted assumption that free equates to increased usage. Some free products are massively popular but the business model of developing paid products for free products is mixed. Works well for video games. Not saying I am sure it wouldn't work. Jist saying that developers were not beating down the doors to do so during the 6 years between intro of pro channel and demise of cakewalk.  Doesn't hurt to suggest but unless cakewalk experiences a massive spike to where it is a standard, it seems unlikely.
