Technostica

The irony being that you can even load Reason as a VST inside another DAW. Well the Reason Rack bit I think is the term.

Considering that the porn industry reportedly embrace new technology very quickly, I shudder to think what they are doing with AI.

Anyone here using Harmonic Bloom? It's also on sale at Best Service where you can get two freebies with it. To get two, you buy a €100 voucher which gives you the first one, then buy Bloom with the voucher plus the extra cost above €100, which gives you the second one.

I hadn't realised that she has her own line of ganja! Maybe she's muscling in on the market now that Snoop has given up on the Rizlas.

It's hard for me not to be sceptical when companies sell their own gear this cheaply. I am not in the market for this, but curious if anyone has taken one for the team and survived and is ready to share their GAS war stories.

I'm not subscribed as they send too many for my tastes.

If someone tells me how to get the code they can have mine. I assume I am eligible as I bought the bundle last year. This being the permanent version, not a sub.

I bought the 2022 bundle late last December when you could stack codes alongside the sale. I haven't received a code to buy the upgrade but if I do I will give it away here.

This is one that was given away I believe, so you might well find it at the usual places for $10.

One.

Use coupon code ROCK10 for 10% off the $99 bundle price. Be warned that these are large libraries and together are 127GB. As they have a few other bundles, I will use the link for all of them: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/cinematic-bundles/ All bundles are the same price and the others are: Spotlight Collection Arkhis + Sequis bundle Arkhis & Lores are only in the CE version of Komplete. Fables is too new for Komplete 14. Sequis and Spotlight Collection are in K14 Ultimate and above.

All versions came on HDDs except for Select which came on a USB thumb drive due to how little content it had.

If it comes with a patio then even better as our drive was replaced relatively recently.

I have archived their Native Access installer files in the past but don’t know if things have changed since. NA used to download an ISO file for each installation and these can be mounted and then the installer launched. The trick is to copy them to a different folder before they are deleted. I found an App that would monitor a specified location and automatically copy new files that appeared there to a different location. It worked perfectly and to set the whole thing up only took a few minutes.

I think I used mine 9 to 12 months after receiving it and paid about $75 for Bioscape.

Keep in mind that you can frequently buy the bundle of Stratus 3D Symphony 3D together for about $30 at the usual trading sites. These are legit as people have them because they upgraded an Izotope bundle which included them.

I don’t think it comes with any VST audio effects, as instead the effects are integrated into Vegas and Sound Forge.

I'm really 'enjoying' their retro 90s style website that seemed to have been coded either in notepad or the back of a cigarette packet! Jeez. 🤮

I'm intrigued by the Sound Paint platform but haven't used it or kept up with its development. How much has it evolved in terms of Keyswitches and multiple microphone positions etc? As someone with a large 8Dio hoard, crossgrading to SP versions where you get to mix and match parts from different libraries within a patch is such a flexible approach. Although, Kontakt has become almost a safety blanket, so I prioritise that.

I have a spare code for that hundred bucks off, so if someone wants it, drop me a PM.

Seeing as you can buy a Steinberg interface bundled with Groove Agent and Cubase Elements for £100, add this Crossgrade and that's a lot of kit at £250 for someone starting out.

Thanks Carl. 👍 I've just started a Word Doc and your input is the first entry. I was late to W10 as I was happy with W8.1 with Classic Shell. I have the Pro version so it was a bit easier to lock it down and it's been fine for DAW usage. I still don't particularly like it though and my desktop might be on it for just under another two years. Fortunately, I can take my time getting used to it as I still have my Latitude laptop and Desktop on W10. Hopefully, I will migrate completely before the three year warranty expires ! 😄 I just ordered a 990 Pro 4TB for £155 after Samsung cashback. It's single sided so a safer option for a laptop and at that price a steal. Some good deals on Samsung SSDs in the UK with the cashback. 870 EVO 4TB for £96 via Amazon!

I bought a lot but I also sold a lot so the net cost to me for music gear is a profit, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so much gear. I'm ignoring the laptop as it's for general purpose usage, although it's more powerful than my i9-9900 desktop! For £640 with a 3 year onsite warranty it's a steal. I just have to build up the courage to face dealing with Win11 and then I'll open the box. 😃

This is an older library but still available to use as a base for $94.50. https://www.bestservice.com/en/complete_orchestral_collection.html
