How about if we all get together and collectively pay Larry $29.99 per month not to list Waves deals! 😁
Then during Black Friday, hopefully Larry will offer us two months for $29.99. 😎

I would take the Humble Bundle offer unless you want these particular Soundbanks as it has Sound Forge Pro and fewer banks.

Humble Bundle

ADDED. Humble deal offer ends in 2 days : 2 hours : 25 minutes.

If anyone needs a free copy of Lite so you can buy the Upgrade, drop me a PM.

I sold 11 Suite last month and then immediately bought the Suite 11/12 Upgrade from Lite via Best Service, as that is a lot cheaper than buying the Update to 12.
Cost me about £25.

ReWire was discontinued in version 11.

Which is a separate and unrelated.

 I remember my friends telling me that Reason didn't have any way to load VST and other plugins... Curious if they ever added plugin feature?

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 want that Nessun Dorma epic with those Mariah Carey Highs

 

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.

is there only one licence number for the 2 libraries or one for each ?

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.

I don't see the SSD option coming back either. Considering Komplete itself is more than 1TB in size, the price of a 2TB SSD would be more than half of price of Komplete itselt. Better to force you to use all your data plan downloading 1+ TB of data and profit more instead.

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

I’ll get K15UCE if it comes with a drive. 

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

 I tend to dislike NI's distribution of their own libraries.  When you buy from other developers you can archive your downloads  if need to reinstall them.  If it's a Komplete library you need to back them up on another drive.  There is no option to keep your downloads.  This can be issue if you had a drive go bad and have to download all of the libraries in Komplete.  You can get a warning from your ISP of using up your data limit.

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.

Cheers. Do you know if that newsletter voucher is time limited?

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.

One cool note to factor in if you're on the fence about this Vegas deal DaVinci Resolve, is that the FX and Audio plugins that come with Vegas will work in DaVinci.

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.

Technically I bought some with aftermarket F29 vouchers. As Of today I own it all. I also bought the $300 MEGA XXL for $200 (with an Avid Inner Circle $100 discount) and so next year I'll be able to pick out 10 of the 2024 releases with my year paid in advance voucher.

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

I can upgrade to Absolute 6 from Groove Agent. The reality is Halion 7 and Backbone is the only thing that interest me. Still thinking about it. Th reality is, I have Pigments that I neveruse enough of. And Also Padshop2 that I rarely touch. So not sure if H7 is worth investment at this point.

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.
