Interesting, I thought Spire is geared towards EDM also? The preset packs for Spire kind of confuse me that are available thru the Reveal Sound website. A lot of them seem to have a bunch of stuff bundled like construction loops, etc which are not usable in Spire? Is that pretty typical?

Any reason to pick this up over Dune 3 or Avenger 2?

I have to assume they will get rid of the normal professional license which costs way more since it makes no sense to buy it instead of Studio One+ Hybrid...

Obligatory bitching about the upgrade price even though it has been this way for the past decade and should shock no one

I'm a sucker, I ended up paying the $100 extra to upgrade to V9. So V9 + Pigments for $200. Still a good deal but not quite as insanely good as V8 + Pigments for the original $100. Oh well, the new synths and upgraded synths sound amazing so it's worth it!

I'm pretty syked, I used this to get the $49 Pigments. V-Collection 8 + Pigments for $100. . . that's a GOOD DEAL

Pleased to report that I just received my serial # and unlock code and it worked on Arturia's website!

Maybe we're seeing different sites? When I go there it seems normal and has a valid SSL certificate and secure connection. The math is fine as well. I'm in the US. After placing the order I got an order confirmation email that is pretty normal as well. Just waiting on the serial number.

Gotta get your dopamine from somewhere...

Fair enough! I'm waiting for my S/N still. I'm guessing it's a small operation and there's probably one or two people divvying out the serial #'s as they process the orders. If I don't see anything today I'll contact them. I paid with Paypal so worst case I file a claim.

Out of curiosity what about it looks weird and not right?

I think they have been around for quite a long time. . . did something happen? I placed an order this morning and used Paypal to pay.

Why was that thread posted this morning completely removed?

When do you get crackles and pops? And you have the correct ASIO driver selected in Cakewalk? Could it be clipping or something being set too loud?

Basically the whole package lol

I own this but didn't bother reinstalling after I formatted my computer. I do have fond memories of Hybrid 3 and Vacuum Pro, but with it needing iLok and having individual installers it's kinda not worth the hassle. Is anyone still using these to make music?

Wow this is unusual

Nooooooo my wallet really does not appreciate this!!!

Seems logical

Every release I get hyped about it, reinstall it and convince myself now I'll use it, then decide everything is so much more convoluted than other DAWs why am I bothering with the hassle and delete it

Or do the synths own YOU? *cackles ominously*

They just updated it today

Thanks I'm still thinking about it... I have Bitwig and Rapid so I don't know if this would be overlapping too much... Also I do more like chill r&b stuff, not trance...

I only ever hear spire mentioned alongside of Trance, why is that?

Any buyers regret?
