Ok, think I got it to work at DLsite. Was initially declined. My bank's fraud dept sent an automated message. I indicated that I did authorize the (declined) charge. Decided to try again because, what the hay. Very (pleasantly) surprised that the charge was then accepted! 🙂

Think about $85 for Studio Pro + Kevin !!!

Downloaded (zip files), but have not yet tried to install.

@pseudopop I see that there are 3 (?!) serial numbers for each Studio Pro and Kevin? Any other install tips?

If I "had" to, could I install this (how many GBs for full install?) on to a 1TB sdxc card, with ~200MB/s read speed?

Better off installing on a 14TB spinner (~140MB/s read)?

Painful ?

Very interested, but where is Dreamtonics based out of?

They appear to be charging a flat 10%  (sales?) tax, regardless of purchaser's location. Why do I wonder if they really are remitting this 10% surcharge to the proper taxing entities?

Yuppers, they never responded to my inquiry about this . . .

Probably does not need to be said, but here it is anyway:

Vienna Vouchers can only be redeemed where the voucher was purchased

$260 @ Thomann

Apparently, extended to December 4.

Change thread title?

So, let me see if I understand . . .

If one has SD3 (and therefore does not need/want to use Jamstix built-in kits) and SD midi files [which are already created via a human drummer?]:

Jamstix will import the SD midi files;

"humanize" the SD midi file [improv/fills ?];

and then create a new/modified Jamstix midi file which has now been "humanized" and the "humanized" Jamstix midi file can then be exported/saved?

This is all about "humanization"? Or, am I missing (a lot of) something?

Now where can I buy the talent?

Any such thing as orchestral "deep" midi files?

I just want to know if there's a corresponding SDX before buying it.

As per my above, I don't think so, but don't take a penguin's word on stuff like this, lol !

Was really hoping that like the other BF ezx's, Thomann or someone else would have this at ~$21 vice $27. Seems a no-go.

This is the only remaining item from TT that I have yet to purchase from their offerings, and likely will be my last purchase of BF/CM.

Get a 4 TB External SSD and a 4 TB M2 and you're good to go!

Until next year, lol !

😅

Ok, i went for it.

But seriously, I have to ask. With 1TB for this, 1TB for ToonTrack, 1TB for IKM TSM3.5, plus all other vst's, an OS . . . how do you store all of this for (ssd) laptop access? Only one Thunderbolt/USB-C port [from what I understand, you can't have a "hub" for them]. Have to use a spinner hdd?

I guess there are laptops with multiple m2 2280 slots, mine only has one.

New laptop, lol ?!

I see this is the "Diamond" edition, so I guess that implies that there are different level editions? Diamond is at the top?

Ok, I guess my standard question [in case I missed something] re the Alt-Rock ezx (which I see is "Recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio", and I am unable to find anything similar in the sdx's):

Are any of these 3 ezx's little siblings of sdx's?

Trying to avoid duplication.

Does not look like (yet?) Thomann has the Alt-Rock ezx on "CyberWeek Deal" for $21, like it does other BF ezx's . . .

@Marshall I previously wound up having to purchase EZ-Bass second-hand. Got EZ-Bass and two midi packs for $99 (I guess the seller had to pay TT $45 in transfer fees 😥)

Picked up 4, wanted 4 more.

Maybe some coupon discounts again for BF/CM?

Nope, still no coupons being accepted after they cut it off.

eh, may not be my best bf purchase, but picked up The Ton and Classics bundle, minus the recent $10 gc for $308.

Just enough for the freebie Aperture Cassette Symphony.

12 new toys at an average cost of $25 each.

I guess I could do worse . . .

what a pity, the coupon was what was pushing me over the edge

 

yup

Was really hoping that someone would have these at $10 or less . . .

Think the title to thread needs to be correct to: Drums on Demand Buy 1 Get 2

Additionally . . . there is an ~$130 difference between  February and now . . . [My Co-Writer Backing Tracks with Multitrack & Multidrums are $130 each]

 As a polite reminder to those for whom this may matter:

    Back in Feb (the 28th?), IIRC this was buy-one-get-three-free.

    Don't know if it ever was better than that.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner !

(BF selected sale items) Ezx's are $21, and EzKeys are $33 . . . didn't see the EzKeys midi packs . . .

That is what I also thought

ok, what defines a good Spitfire bf deal?

iirc, many people were disappointed in last year's offering. was somewhat new to Spitfire, I purchased.

so when was the most recent "good deal"? 2020? 2019? 2018? . . .

No.

Yes, I insta-purchased. Own everything Skybox.

I am not capable of giving a review other than a simple "I love it!"  I had (well, still have in storage somewhere) a 200A I purchased gently-preowned in the mid 80's.

For the $35 price-point mentioned in this thread's survey, and "yes," it being a 145B, I don't think you can go wrong (especially since it is not as bulky/heavy lol !).

I'm very, very, very happy with my purchase of Skybox Audio's Hammers + Waves - EP 145B

I believe the intro price was about $49. Currently $79, but maybe back to $49 for BF?

Simeon's video is available at: Let's Play The Legendary EP 145 B From Skybox Audio

WOW! BF pricing ($35) is much better than intro pricing!!!

Skybox H&W EP 145B BF pricing = $35
