Whichever you choose, it's usually much cheaper to buy them from KVR, ebay etc as iZotope has flooded the market with these. You could probably buy all of them for $200 or the four cheapest ones for $50 in total.

There’s a lite version available free with CM magazine; at least there was at one point. So what else does something similar to this?

I have zero paid instruments left on my Arturia account, so they know I am skint or tight, so chosen to dangle a carrot for me.

Works for me, not that I actually bought it.

I believe it is only for people who bought the later Collection that was released a few years ago.

Can you use that voucher for EXT products?

Intro price is 28 quid.

It's free to anyone: https://www.sonible.com/balancer/

(Note that PCIe 3.0 devices will also work normally on a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 platform, thanks to backwards compatibility.) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/what-is-pcie-4-and-why-does-it-matter.html https://www.onlogic.com/company/io-hub/your-ultimate-guide-to-understanding-pcie-gen-4/#:~:text=How does PCIe 4.0 affect,to the PCIe 3.0 specs.

I'm sure that both slots support 3.0 drives. 3.0 is only specifically mentioned for slot 1 due to the different PCIe support from the range of CPUs the board is compatible with. If you look below it shows the same specs for both slots when using a PCIe 4.0 compatible CPU.

That might well mean what the maximum supported is as that varies depending on the CPU used. So slot 2 is always UP to 4.0 as it's linked to the chipset which supports 4.0. Slot 1 is linked to the CPU and some compatible chips are UP to 3.0 and others UP to 4.0. Hence the term M2_1 = 4.0/3.0.

I thought that PCIe was backwardly compatible by default, so what makes you say it's PCIe 4.0 only? I looked at the spec sheet and it just says 4.0 for both. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-X570-PLUS-WI-FI/techspec/ Note: If your CPU is PCIe 3.0 then the slot linked directly to the CPU will be limited to 3.0

I would use a heatsink if it's a particularly hot drive.

Blossom is cheaper here and there two freebies one of which ends in 2.5 hours: https://www.lootaudio.com/category/kontakt-instruments/audiowarpc/blossom-audiowarp-kontakt

A very handy tool and allows you to see for example, which naughty app has written a ton of data to the OS drive. So worth running in Administration mode after you have installed all your software and get it to scan the OS drive. It helped me when I was using a 256GB boot drive to free space as I was running low. It showed me that Spotify had a 10GB cache and this wasn’t for downloaded songs.

Sleep and Hibernate are different things. Sleep keeps the contents in RAM which means it requires power to keep the session active and doesn’t write to disk. Hibernate uses the Hibernation file which is separate to the page file and it doesn’t require power as the OS state is written to file. So the Hibernation file will be larger if you have more RAM installed and can also be managed manually. If you don’t plan on using Hibernate or Hybrid Sleep, I would disable Hibernate to save disk space and reduce SSD wear. I do this on desktops but not laptops as Hibernate is useful due to saving power compared to Sleep. The page file will be small unless you don’t have enough memory, in which case the performance will usually degrade noticeably. You can also disable the page file completely, but it’s not generally worthwhile and it can be risky so not worth it.

Only if you have it manually setup to mirror the amount of RAM you have which is wasteful. The more RAM you have the less you need a page file.

They probably do but the cost is off putting. You can buy 15TB U.2 or U.3 enterprise drives that you can use in a PCIe 4x slot with a cheap adapter. They start at about 2.5k and the 7.5TB versions start around 1k. That's for the Samsung PM9A3 which is 7TB/s, TLC, 1DWPD. No cooling issues either due to the larger form factor. These are overlooked by consumers as the consumer boards don't have any U.2 slots. That's what I would buy if looking for an 8TB drive for a desktop.

TB is Intel tech, it's just that Apple are the highest profile user. Intel has given away TB3 to the USB consortium, which is why USB4 when implemented to the highest level offers the same features. TB4 does offer some extra features and none of them are optional. That's one of its advantages as you don't have to check the small print as you do with USB.

What exactly happened and when?

I’m seeing three free Gifts of the Month: HALO Lite by DHPlugins ($25 value) Pripyat by Mntra Instruments ($29 value) PA Triton by Muze ($99.99 value)

Mr. Sire - Live in Japan, is one I recall. A revisionary name of course.

$200 for 2x PCIe 3.0 4x does seem underwhelming in 2022. You can buy a 1x PCIe 4.0 4x adapter for about $15. With the money saved you can buy a decent PCIe 4.0 SSD. The advantage of the dual card is that you can mix cheap PCIe 3.0 drives for higher capacity. But in many cases the overall cost will be higher, so unless you really want the RAID features it seems niche. Plus, does this offer better RAID than your motherboard?

They should have offered 70% off to match the Queen’s recent 70th jubilee.

So can you add a bunch of these to your cart with their individual codes and also at the end add a 50 or 75 dollar voucher? Obviously the total needs to be appropriately high for the voucher you have. Asking for a friend.
