So to upgrade from  KOMPLETE 13 to 14 is €199 which includes Kontakt 7 .. While to upgrade to just Kontakt 7 is €99 .... mmmmmm

All depends on what you are interested in.  Take look at the new content.

I got a deal on Komplete 13 last year and have left half of it uninstalled. Just wanted a few of the instruments. Don't see anything except for K7 that I care for in Komplete 14.

Very easy - click on the gear icon on the bottom left of the thumbnail view, and select the folder you want to add.

Sounds about perfect! Will patiently wait for a sale on the K7 upgrades!

As was previously described, having to crawl through the K6 crud to find anything is a pain.

I didn't mention the abitlity to 'favorite' presets in the thumbnail view, which is a very nice little detail - especially when you've got a lot of non-Player libraries with complex folder and patch structures. 

How easy is it to include non-Player libraries in the new browser view?

So is Bitwig going to follow the PreSonus model or the Ableton model? Totally unclear and understand if this results in ticked-off users!

If you mean non-DAW, Voltage Modular's Plug-In Host modules (part of VM's Core Bundle) can also be used to host many 64-bit VST Instruments, including the SI series. 

I believe he was just asking for plugin instruments, not hosts.

Might be tempted if I can update for $50 this Cybersale

That's exactly what I was thinking...

Yep, unless we move to a lower K14 tier. 

I never moved up. K13 Standard offers all that I need!

Thanks to all who tried to help, by my intention was on a free cakewalk VST instrument which can be used externally, like a synth or maybe a rompler.

Hi, the included Cakewalk SI Suite instruments previously mentioned are VST plugins that can be used with any DAW host.

But they are very basic, so that is why the forum thread for freeware instruments was created. Most of them are better than the Cakewalk bundled ones, and suggest looking there.

Cakewalk has not bundled any premium instruments since it was a paid product back in the Gibson/Sonar days. BandLab re-released Cakewalk as a free DAW, but you need to bring your own instruments.

Get your beer bottle groove on!

This library is the product of gathering 50+ empty bottles together and seeing what happens. The bottles varied in size and shape to bring you varying harmonics for a wide array of unique glass sounds. We did everything one can do to a bottle, including blips, dings, taps, bonks, ensemble bottles, blown staccato, blown sustains with MW, bottle generated ambiances and drones. The instruments are programmed in Native Instruments Kontakt for easy playback through a host sequencer. Instruments range from single articulations to master patches of similar sounds. Bottoms up!

I would use it if they had an option to deselect say 32 bit, AAX etc

I just manually delete those locations occasionally. Not a lot of space wasted, though it's only a minor annoyance for me when my OCD kicks in... ?

I agree that the vendor should always make all paths an option. At least XLN Audio finally added that to their online installer!

You sort of can via PREFERENCES .. enable silent mode.

That's the way I do it. Not annoyed by the individual program installers any longer!

Is this a common thing, others notice same? 

Haven't noticed that here. Also running Win 10 on a core i5. With SSD drive, 16GB memory.

What audio interface are you using? ASIO with a RealTek would be a problem.

Since no interface was mentioned, RealTek would be a BIG problem running with a buffer size of 128 or less!

Unfortunately , the issue is not resolved by moving VST .. as I think everything is loaded into memory.

I've noticed that if I'm recording a Midi Track while the issue happens, the midi track is OR recorded at wrong bit (it's moved by a 1/16 ..1/8  forward compared to when I recorded it) or it's not recorded at all.
After looking at the ,manual, I tried increasing the Number of Buffers to 128.

 

As a starting point set your buffers to 256 or even higher, until it resolves the problem. As David said, anything below 128 takes a highly tuned system.

Corel's a bit tricky with their marketing.

Sure, but no forced subscriptions like Adobe!

That is my experience also as I have two different versions of Painter, CorelDraw, etc.

But the listing specifically states DRM Free.  Thus why I'm looking for specific confirmation on this deal.

I see, and I wouldn't be able to confirm it either way, as my computers are already "infected" with DRM. You will obviously need a fresh "victim" to be your guinea pig!

That is a curious "Redeem on DRM-free, Other Platform" note on the product listing. Almost wonder if that is a typo? https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/204277138-How-to-Download-DRM-Free-Content

While it is a good value on the surface.  I bought 2019 and never used it before getting 2020 the following year.  No different than plugins, if you don't end up using it...also money wasted.  

If it is software you plan to really use, crazy good value.

Well then, there's probably a whole lot of questionable  acquisitions on the "Deals" forum! 

GAS! ?

Cost of paying more than the average to get the middle bundle vs getting Painter 2022 seems completly negligable, and Painter is the most "valuable" program in the lot.

Speaking of value, the cost of buying Painter 2023 directly from Corel is $339 for full, or $179 for an upgrade. https://www.painterartist.com/en/product/painter/

So I would say that getting the full version of Painter 2022 for $31 is a steal!!! Even if it is not the latest, greatest version.

In most Humble Bundles that I have bought, many of the bundled items are of no interest to me, and I only install what I want. Still always an excellent value!

Any feedback if the 2022 version they are providing is actually DRM-Free?

In my experience Corel installs license protection. I believe it is called Protexis Licensing Service [PsiService_2.exe].

I have been a user of CorelDraw for years. If you are into graphics and digital painting, then Painter is also a good deal. Never have really been a fan of PaintShop Pro. Adobe Photoshop Elements and Affinity Photo meet my needs well for photo editing.

I bought a Humble Bundle a while back that included Painter, Aftershot, VideoStudio, and CorelCad. I think I'm set OK for things as a graphics hobbyist!

In fact my dismay started when they piled on all those expansions cluttering up my NI account. 
OTOH, anyone checked the new Kontakt Factory Library yet?

Kontakt has a Factory Library? 

I just thought Kontakt was for all of those "requires full Kontakt" libraries... ?
