Yeah, but the how does your old fashioned dumb shaker know when to stop applying the salt if you haven't pre-told it how much to dispense?

Ah... that's why my food's so salty; I see the error in my ways now

I've got an idea that I think will be really popular: a fridge, but with a door that's completely flush with no handle; it might have some mood lighting - it will look amazing. To open the door, you simply touch the button on the corresponding smartphone app.

Salt is over. Apparently Smalt is the future.....

Let me see if I understand this: instead of taking a 'dumb' salt shaker in one hand and shaking it over your food; you can now hold a smalt in one hand, and a smartphone in the other hand, and you can shake your smartphone to make the smalt dispense salt onto your food. <sarcasm> I can really see how this makes things easier </sarcasm>

Debating whether or not to go for this; I already have Audio Modern's Riffer. Riff Generation seems really cool, but is it locked to its own instrument/effects? Also, can each instrument be routed to its own output? (all of which is moot if the sale doesn't get extended)

This is the case in fact .

I'm not sure they are exactly the same; this page

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine/compare/

describes the mikro as having 'highly-sensitive' pads, whereas the full Maschine has 'ultra-sensitive' pads. Also the guy from

https://questforgroove.com/

did a video comparing different pad controllers, and found that while very similar, the full Maschine had a better experience.

I think I'd be more excited if they released a new Machine Mikro, but with exactly the same pads as the full sized Machine.

It looks to me like the "installers" that download from Humble Bundle are just stubs that download the full content from the server when running. If so there may not be much point to archiving them, or are you saying the full downloaded programs and content are stored on the host computer somewhere?

If it's anything like the downloader 'installers' that I've used before, they may or may not work in future. Usually, I run them and let the full setup program download. When the full installer starts, you can use Task Manager to find the file location (usually in a temp folder), and archive that file.

Heh, I'd say "Someone" didn't read the answer!  ('Cause NOBODY had lunch and NOBODY went to the toilet on that date!) 😜

And now I'm imagining the voice of Kiefer Sutherland saying 'the following did not take place between October 10th, 1582; and October 11th, 1582', like at the beginning of an episode of 24.

What do you think occurred on October 10th, 1582?

Someone had lunch.

Someone went to the toilet (or whatever the 1582 equivalent is).

I dont remeber where is saw people pissed off soudniron lack of support ect ... so i dont know what tonthink , the tone was like " abandon ware " reminds me "air" crap. ,  no ?

I think it was one of the apocalypse percussion libs, but I had a version that had a scripting bug in it so every fourth note would be silent (or something like that - very annoying for a drum kit). Got a fairly prompt response from their support team with a fix; it was a few years ago so don't know if anything's changed since then.

Argh, and here I thought this was the 21st Century where Software Lib developers knew about multiple drive setups. 😡

That, and application code signing (so we can be sure that what we've downloaded hasn't been tampered with).

In any case, there isn't actually that much else in the install folder, so (while not ideal) installing it onto your samples drive wouldn't be too terrible an idea.

Don't think there was an option explicitly for samples location. I saw that it wanted to put 10gb into my program files directory, and pointed it to another drive with more space.

Soundiron are a great company with some really good libraries.

I remember a while back I bought a bundle consisting of loads of libraries for an almost unbelievably low price on a NI promotion. If I had any cash to spare, I'd give this current offer some serious thought.

Does anyone have any opinions on this one? Looks like a parallel compression effect, albeit with a friendly/simple-to-use UI.

You can still use PayPal to pay, but back it with your credit card and choose to pay in a foreign currency. That way, the seller only knows about your PayPal account, but your credit card company does the currency conversion (which for me is slightly cheaper than PayPal's).

I had 4 Shreddage V2 guitars, with 20$ upgrade coupons in my account for each one. When I put them in the cart, I had an extra discount for the number of items in my cart. Then I applied each upgrade coupons one after another, with a total of 60$ showing in cart. I bought an 50$ Impact Soundworks gift card for 30$ at APD and applied the code in cart. So 10$ remaining + 30$ for the gift card: 40$ for the 4 upgrades instead of 80$!

Thanks for letting us know that such an order is possible Bryan: the majority of sites only allow a maximum of one coupon code per order, which I find to be annoying. It's good to hear that ISW allows more than one; they had great customer support on the previous occasions where I've needed help as well.

I've always found the PayPal exchange rate to be more expensive than that for my credit card, and usually end up choosing to pay in a foreign currency.

Ok... so... err... which are the right ums?

I had to get rid of my Waves Plug-ins, I'm though with them, and used and bought some new plug-ins from elsewhere

I'm genuinely confused: I see some posts where people say they absolutely love Waves plugins and seem really excited when a sale comes round; and I also get the feeling that some people can't wait to abandon their Waves plugin collection. Could someone explain to me why if their plugins are as good as their reputation suggests, why do some people seem to want to get rid of them?

That would be quite contrary!

If we ever find her, we have to ask how her garden grows; I wonder if it's true that there are silver bells and cockle shells.

The only problem with that setup is... how do you get in/out?

Please don't tell me Wally/Waldo decided to change more than just his name...

Depends... You might get a frown if you try to buy a car using a pinch of salt; your meal might not taste better if you add a bucket of gold.
