My stumbling block is I'm left handed and  when I tried guitar it seemed worse then trying to learn a foreign language.  I'm actually looking to go in another direction and hopefully get a wind controller to learn. I always wanted to learn how to play one and I have plenty of sounds to try out

This may sound sarcastic, but I really don't mean for it to be: they do have left handed guitars, e.g. a Yamaha Pacifica 112JL

Wind controllers are cool too though

Included as part of this offer

• Convology XT Complete (£399 value)
• MAGIX Analogue Modelling Suite Plus (£129.99 value)

Is Convology XT any good? I'm seeing an upgrade to the latest Sound Forge Pro that has Convology XT Complete and MAGIX Analogue Modelling Suite Plus thrown into the bundle, and just wondering if that actually adds good value.

Can you use the boxed hard drive which comes with the collectors edition to install Komplete on if reformatted? Does anyone know the speeds? 

They're mechanical disks and even though they're USB3, I think you'll feel a little regret if you use it as your samples drive. Might be good as an extra backup drive though.

Does Spectral Layers have any advantages over iZotope's RX?

Anyone got this? I generally prefer non-Kontakt synths, but this one looks quite cool.

I cannot remember any Windows 10 update that had something new that I really needed!

Four features I personally have liked from updates since the first Windows 10 release are:

• Dark mode for Windows Explorer (though it would have been nice had they kept the 1 pixel accent-colour border around the window)
• An updated version of Calculator, with a few new features
• Updates to the UI to allow transparency on some of the windows
• Ability to link your Windows license (if it's a full license, rather than an OEM) to a Microsoft account, meaning that it's possible to transfer your license across to a new computer

Of course, this is my list of features that I like; YMMV/others may feel differently/etc..

Someone know how to stop the Edge browser from starting up after login?

It shouldn't be doing that; maybe on first log-in, but definitely not after that. Have a look in Task Manager - there's a Start-up tab that lists some of the things that start up.

Doesn't seem like that much of a good deal - if I were to buy into a subscription (not particularly interested in this one), I'd at least want Melodyne Editor (though I realise iZotope probably don't have the rights to offer Celemony's highest tier software), rather than the lowest tier Essentials.

Still, good for beginners I guess. Don't really care if iZotope enter a subscription model as long as they still offer perpetual licenses.

Working fine here

but they really don't want to include a proper backup solution any more.

Probably because they'll get anti-trust lawsuits slapped on them. Look at what happened with IE (disregard the fact that it's a rubbish browser) - they included it with Windows and were then forced to put in a 'choose your browser' thinggy after it got too popular.

Suddenly all umlaut characters in non-unicode programs were displayed as garbage!

Isn't that more to do with the people who wrote the non-unicode programs, rather than Windows itself?

The sad thing is that all the time it takes to solve those issues is lost for music creation! 😢

I'm guessing Mac users find themselves in a similar situation when they upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS, and then realise their existing software isn't compatible.

I want 127 velocity layers with 16 round robins, sampled at 24bit/48kHz... and a new hard drive...

Question what 1k sub is supposed to do as you become youtuber ?

I think that's when you get the option of choosing whether or not you want to monetise your videos

Let me guess... $499, or FREE with the MEGA BUNDLE subscription; added with NO EXTRA COST!

Thanks Reid - very informative as usual.

PS. +1 sub to your channel from me

Isn't October is usually Metal month for Toontrack?

I think it's usually November - could be wrong though

Do IK have a table where you can easily see the differences between Amplitube (normal) and Max? (I'm thinking a table where you have the versions going across the top, and the gear/collections['Orange', 'Slash', etc.] going down, and a dot in the appropriate cell to show whether it's in that edition)

I suppose you could use something like this

https://codefn42.com/notemapper/index.html

If you set it up and route it properly, you could do a live MIDI bounce to get all your snares/hats onto their respective single notes.

The 'You Save' bit almost looks like a PA subscription sales pitch 😜

On a slightly more serious note, do the instruments tend to move into the 'lesser' editions as they get older? e.g. ARKHIS is only in CE - if we wait long enough, might it eventually get included in Ultimate (and then Standard after even more time)?

Is this a 'discontinued' instrument? I can't find it on AudioThing's main web site.

Hi Antler, I got the original iLoud: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/iloud/

I was considering getting one to use as the output for a multi-FX box I have while practicing guitar; do you think the iLoud would be overkill for this?

Thus I decided to reinstall Windows 10 and lost my license

If you log in with a Microsoft account (you don't have to use that account for everyday use), you can link your license (assuming it's not an OEM) with your account. Then if you change your hardware, you can use the license that's linked to your account.

Hey @Fleer - this is irrelevant to the multibuy, but which iLoud did you get? The original, the Micro speaker pair, or the MTMs?

Look at you all with your fancy toys - I'm still using Lynx
