I’d be happy if the Arturia Software Center didn’t take an hour to update the V Collection whenever I allow it to do so.

And didn’t render my computer useless during that time by constantly stealing keyboard focus from whatever other window I’m trying to work in.

Oh yeah.....ASC is always sooooooooooo slllllllllooooooooooooowwwww at doing just about anything. I never bother to allow any updates any more for that reason.

Do they just destroy them? I hope not. They could mark them somehow and give them to schools for music programs. There has to be a way to make lemonade out of those lemons.

I would imagine that a lot of customs officials kids will be getting a guitar for christmas.

I watched that earlier.....quite an achievement to get what they did done in a day with having to work around press and film crews too.  George Michael looked so shy and nervous and proved that he really didn't need to be and I never realised how much of a short-ar5e Bonio is. Small man syndrome.....now I understand what it is about him that has always grated on me.....

As of this year I'm left wondering how all of a sudden even before Halloween is even here how they have lubed the holiday sales machine to start advertising the enforced fake jolly shopping season you mentioned ...

October........lucky you......the first radio ad I heard here was in June.😠

You mean CakeAlexS's birthday?

It's ok to admit that you miss him.......😀

Many moons ago I was in the US a couple of times during the Thanksgiving period and found it to be a far nicer experience than the enforced and  fake jollity that next month brings. 😀

Enjoy!

We're working on some big things behind the scenes.

Would it be too much to ask that they're fixing whatever it is that offers customers special discounts to buy things that they already have?

Yeah, probably.......

It's not been reported since so there's a very good chance your issue is a brand new one

Probably because people are just used to it by now and also know that there's no point in reporting it anyway seeing as it is no longer a supported product.  It happened to me last week, so whatever it is that causes it is still there. I've come to accept it as just being part of the joy of being a long term Cakewalk user. 😀

I tremble with fear every time I see a .NET update or installation happening that is mandatory for an installation.

It's almost like those who get chastised for having offline DAW pc's somehow knew something.....

It was a forum message Paulo, not a forum massage! 😆

No.

I'm not allowing you to take me there....stop it right now!

I heard that someone else attempted to market a Bob Marley replica guitar, but it didn't really take off because too many people noticed that it was actually a repackaged sitar.

Rain getting a happy ending....

Gee, thanks a bunch for that mental image.

Years ago, after ToysRUs at Metrocenter shutdown, and had been the last business in that center, a guy learning tuba used to park there and practice; I'd see (and hear/feel) him as I rode thru there to work every day in the morning; sometimes he'd also be there in the evening.    He did this for years until Conns moved in there, and later a few more businesses, but I haven't seen him since then.   I don't know enough about tuba to tell if he improved in that time or not. 

Where I used to live there was an old guy busker in town with a guitar that had maybe three strings on a good week, none of which appeared to have been tuned in any musical way or even relative to the others. He would do "requests" for any song you wanted, which basically amounted to him thrashing at the strings and la-la-la-ing in a way that suggested that he maybe he just didn't fancy being a straight covers guy. I was new to the area and although I used to laugh a bit, I also felt sorry for him. He seemed to get given a fair amount of money all things considered, which I put down to people like me just basically feeling sorry for him. It wasn't long before several people, who as far as I knew didn't know each other, all told me the same thing.....don't feel sorry for him, it's an act. He lives in a big house in the best part of town overlooking the beach. I wasn't convinced as the general grubbiness of his appearance looked quite authentic.

Then one day I saw him looking much cleaner and  getting out of a nice silver BMW that he had just parked. An early lesson that things aren't always as they seem.

I'm surprised my parents survived me trying to learn the trumpet at age 12. Ooof.

They were your parents. They basically had to love you. 😀

trumpet comes close haha

I dunno..... an unaccompanied good trumpet player is still pretty annoying.

my sister in law learned to "play" a violin, no headphones anywhere 😬

I can't think of a worse instrument in terms of the difference in the sound it makes between someone who can play it and someone who can't.

I thought that was just me.....

....or is it me that this was written about?

As an AL Pro licence holder I was hoping for a real no brainer personal offer for Pigments. What I got was a 69euro offer to buy the thing that I already have.......

I want to love you Arturia, but you do have a certain knack for making that difficult....

As it currently stands, when your subscription elapses, you lose the ability to save or export.  Apart from that, Sonar will continue to operate.

Which is about as useful as a handlebar mounted ashtray on a motorbike. 😀

Yep.... the OP obviously never grew up in a household where someone was learning to "play" a violin.

I can't wait to see the meltdown when they announce the new updated UI for the thing that shall not be mentioned.....

Coming soon...... Hello Studio Kitty.

Sure.....
