    And you get the Studio Magic Plugin Pack that includes SPL Attacker, Mäag Audio EQ2, Lexicon’s MPX-i Reverb, Eventide H910 Harmonizer, Eventide Stereo Room, Brainworx bx_opto compressor and the Arturia Analog Lab Lite —classic analog synths, organs, string machines, and pianos from Arturia’s V-Collection of virtual instruments

    They change the bundle over time and they dropped the H910 for example around 5 years ago. Before I registered my hardware so I missed out.

    So for the person who as everything not Bitwig does the Bitwig Studio
    Essentials make sense.  I'd prefer non fanboys to comment.

    It would be more accurate if they had named it non-essential as it misses the things that make Bitwig truly stand out.

    It might make more sense to buy Ableton Live 12 Intro on Knobcloud!

  3. You can use an app to automatically copy any files that are added to a chosen folder to another location. It worked perfectly when I tried it alongside NA. If you are copying to a slow drive then I’m not sure if it will be a problem or whether the OS will block NA from deleting a file that is being copied.

  4. SSO is £233.98.

    This is a full orchestral library that was recently relaunched at the much lower price of £499.

    People on VIC thought it was great value at that price,  so I doubt it is meant to go this low so soon.

    I think this is a much better deal than the 8Dio bundle if your focus is purely on orchestral.

    You get all the sections recorded in depth at the same hall. You don’t get nearly as much with the 8Dio bundle in this respect.

    I tried to find the USB-C spec on their devices and failed, other than verifying that they are indeed not Thunderbolt ports.
    If they are indeed USB 2.0 that is disappointing as Presonus states on their web page What is USB-C™?
    "It should be noted that the default protocol for USB-C™ ports on many Windows computers is USB 3.1"

    From what I have read, most USB AI's are 2.0 because they use third party USB controllers and the manufacturers of those haven't seen the need to upgrade to 3.0.
    Which begs the question, what do RME use?

    My question is, how good are these libraries and how well do they work with Sonar? I've never used them. And have they been discontinued by 8Dio? I could not find them on their website.

    They are on the 8Dio website as individual products.

    Beat require a subscriber number to access the freebies which isnt uniquely available from those sorts of services, which seems fair enough given the content they offer. 

    Not from my recent experience.
    I had a subscription with Readly which gives access to 100s of magazines and was able to access the Beat serial numbers and downloads.
    They aren't that interesting unless you are starting out, like free samples and don't have much money.
    I wouldn't subscribe to Beat for the free stuff and I don't need to anyway as I can access it via my local library online.

    I just accessed the BEAT freebies today to get Beatzille. I suspect I will enjoy that more than the paid stuff they give away.

    But still a nice freebie though. Good thing I still had a coupon for a month of Loopcloud lying around.

    I have one also for the Artist plan, although I'm not sure that I am worthy of that title! :)

  9. My experience is that I have been sent spam from him from a half a dozen or so different email addresses over a period of about 4 years.
    I can't think of any other developers that do anything remotely similar.

    I have heard others stating things that bring into question other ethical issues but the spam is bad enough alone to warrant warning people.

    There is so much decent free software out there that I can't see the point of getting involved with companies that behave like this.

    I wish him well, no hard feelings, but I feel that it's appropriate to inform people.
    People can then make their own decision with more info at hand.
