Nope, but it may mean you're not one of those metro-sexuals that wax their chests!?

Yes it was, wondered about that too. Thanks!

Hmm, I had to download it from the website. I don't seem to have an "update" option within Soundpaint. Does it show only once you've made a purchase (I only have the free 1928 Steinway)?

...as a follow-up, I found THIS article which states that the Engine libraries can be used in Independence, it doesn't state the opposite is true. MAGIX has Independence so screwy and fails to address long-standing issues. e.g. supposedly purchasing Independence Pro (beyond and separate from it's inclusion in Samplitude Suite) should allow you to use it in other DAWS but that has not proven true for many including myself. I can use the complete library in the standalone version and inside Samplitude but have been unsuccessful getting it to load instruments in other DAWS.

Good non-bet! It is very much like the GUI for MAGIX Independence (see below). I got excited for a bit but alas, the libraries don't load stating they are not "activated" - which they are for Independence Pro. I'm going to inquire with BS support and see if it is possible.

Happy belated birthday ol' man! You've got 6 months on me!

I"ve got a $50 voucher and needing (wanting) a $75 one if someone would like to trade!?!?

Woohoo! Thanks @Promidi. Yes, I have the BU files and did as you suggested. However, I didn't run the ST4SC.exe. I just copied the "C Grand Close Mics Sustain 1" folder containing the "C Grand Close Mics Sustain 1.pak" to my samples drive and the correct folder. Started ST4 and all is right with the world! Everything loads as it should.

No, that is what I am saying. "C Grand Close Mics Sustain 1.pak" is not present. Only CGCMS 2-6.paks are there. I'll follow-up when I can. I did hear back from IK Support and will try there suggestions which are pretty much what I've done. Sorry, I won't be back home until late this evening as I have a couple of Christmas programs to lead. Thanks for the discussion and a blessed merry Christmas and/or happy holidays to all!

Thanks friends, yes, I downloaded and reinstalled but to no avail. @Reid Rosefelt, everything else plays fine - it is only the Close Mic'd presets that give this warning. However, I saw but did not download and install the Update which may work. I will try the update and then try unzipping/running JUST the 6.pak file alone. Thanks @Promidi

Thanks for the heads-up Reid. In playing around this morning, I found that I cannot load the close mic versions of the C7 piano. Does anyone else have this problem? I seem to have folders 2-6 but 1 is missing. I've emailed support but curious.

I was just bemoaning the fact that I couldn't use Halion 6 for some Christmas shows simply because of the licensing issues. In reading up on it I saw that once you move a license (currently) from a softlicense to the USB eLicenser, you can never go back - inexcusably ridiculous and goes beyond copyright security IMO. I had resolved to no longer invest in Steinberg products. However, this is welcome, may change my mind, and is certainly overdue!

Hate when that happens. FWIW, I am able to log in with my long-standing password without issue.

...and All Future Products Free In addition to getting access to everything that already exists, I am updating this every month with new sounds, so buying this will get you free future sound packs and instruments as well (even if I raise the price of it!)

Heard back from iZotope Support with a link to my $49 upgrade - yay! Still shows $299 in My Offers but oh well.

Yep, good deal. I'm in the same boat but not seeing the offer ATM. I've emailed support.

The $49 upgrade shows under your Loyalty Offers? Mine still shows $299 which shows as a crossgrade when added to the cart eventhough I've got MPS 4.0. Really which iZotope would clean that area up. Love the product but the My Loyalty Offers section is worthless IMHO.

$123.71 with code FORUM. Tempting though I have RX8 standard.

Interestingly, my upgrade from deCodaLE is $48.99 but buying the product outright (not upgrade) is $42.71. I'm going to slip them an email.

Unless it's changed since 2018,

LOL, that was my first thought as I just purchased a used FP 8 though it's at Presonus ATM under warranty. The recommended QCon Pro X looks interesting with overlays for S1, Samp Pro, Reaper, and other DAWs (not CBB) - I'm assuming they'll soon have one for MB. QCon Pro X

FWIW, I had several previous Libs that showed locked in ST4 after installing GB purchases including the Hitmaker series. I just reinstalled them in PM and they are all working fine now in ST4 without PM.
