Invalid code is just the cure for my GAS . . . thanks UAD!

EDIT --> NVM

For those who are doing the upgrade from EZK1, do we gain access to any "new" midi files when installing EZK2 and its core library?

Waiting for next Group Buy to do the complete bundle upgrade . . . (missing this and baritone electric = $161)

You want to say petabytes, right?

For the sake of argument, what is likely the best (sale) price for an sdx 3-pak/value pack that one could reasonably hope for (BF?) ? Seems to be in the ~$325 range currently. Does/did it ever get down below $300? $270?

Nope, my first TT purchase was SD3 during BF 2021

My excel file says NY Studios 1, 2, 3 were $42 each (was that this past BF?), rock warehouse was $44, metal foundry was $49 and progressive foundry was $56. These prices may have included TPR discounts (rip T&S).

$10 midi files I will deal with . . . $39 ezx no way, when they've been in the low/mid $20's! $70 sdx, no heckin' way, when they've been in the $40's!!! "inflation," i just don't know, man . . .

I like $10 midi files much better than $12 midi files, but I just couldn't get myself to pay $39 (no TPRs 😞) for an ezx when I've paid $40's for sdx's . . .

Doesn't seem like anything yet from the usual TPR suspects, wish T&S were still around . . .

Gonna wait for the weekend, see if any TPR's might have it for a few krill cheaper . . .

Is this 32 or 33 plug-ins? 😕 32: Anthology XII comes with 32 plug-ins 33: Introducing the Eventide Anthology XII 33 Plug-in Bundle

Not just Sweetwater, although I love their 2-year warranty . . . Behringer Drops Synth Prices Up To 60%

GAS be d****d, I'm in . . . Thanx for all of your effort in making the video Zo!

Almost forgot about this one . . . probably find an "Originals" that sounds interesting . . .

Enjoying this purchase! Does anyone know if it is possible to assign the virtual knobs on the vst to the 16 physical knobs on the Arturia Mini-Lab? Some sort of template that can be loaded somehow? 🤔

Yeah, considering going in this direction . . .

I think Prime8 msrp is $39? Was able to finally dig this up:

Also got free copy of Prime 8 in November. Also have Falcon and some expansion packs. Shows $599 down to $299 for me . . . Strange

Power Bundle for same price . . . decisions, decisions, decisions . . . EDIT --> Scratch that, $199 is just for the upgrade

Let us suppose, hypothetically of course, someone purchased HOOPUS recently, but did not activate/install/etc. The serial number is just sitting in the email. Could the purchaser "reject" the terms of the EULA, and then request a refund of this purchase from the TPR seller? If so, after receiving a refund, just maybe the original purchaser could reconsider that the EULA could be acceptable to them, and thus purchase HOOPUS/FP/SM bundles at an $80 savings. Asking for . . . um, a friend . . .

@JoeGBradford @Brian Lawler @abacab I almost exclusively hang-out in the Deals sub-forum, so this thread seems the closest to what I want to ask. If improper, please disregard and kindly advise proper forum. So, apologies in advance for necro'ing and continuing the slightly ot discussion of iLok options. I am a hobbyist, so whenever I have the option, I choose a Cloud activation. I don't care if I lose access to plug-ins for an hour, day or week, so long as I still own them and eventually will have access to them without having to repurchase. When the choice is between only Machine or USB, I don't know which is "better," as both are susceptible to theft, malfunction and physical damage. And, potentially the need to repurchase some plug-ins. The question I have is: Can I use (repeatedly) the activate/deactivate function of the Machine activation to "simulate" a Cloud activation? Can I select Machine activation, use the plug-in, when done using the plug-in, deactivate the plug-in so the activation count in the online iLok Manager shows zero activations currently being utilized. And then the next time I need that specific plug-in, then activate it (again) to Machine, and when done deactivate (again) the plug-in so the activation count in the online iLok Manager shows zero activations currently being utilized. Rinse and repeat. Or, is there some type of iLok (universal) or publisher (plug-in specific) limit to the number of times I would be able to repeatedly activate/deactivate the license to Machine from the online iLok Manager? Really wish all publishers using iLok would offer a Cloud activation option, but when that is not a choice, would what I am thinking be a realistic possibility to get around this limitation? Thanks!

Hmmmm . . . spent $250 on HOOPUS during recent sale . . . would be nice to see FP & SM for ~ $170 . . . just sayin' . . .

New to all things IK-M. Does one earn JamPoints only when purchasing directly from IK-M? Or, can one purchase TS3.5M from a TPR, and when registering with IK-M, also receive JamPoints? TS3.5M would earn approx how many JamPoints? Thanks in advance,
