Perfect, thanks!!!

These Apple's entice me!!

This, for sure. I think Google has accelerated, strategically perhaps, to weave its tentacles into most everything - which also drives me nuts! At the second church I served in Louisville, KY, the Youth Pastor used a Mac and did mostly graphic work for the church and on the side. I was tempted back then however, because of an "awakening" with my first ever computer (a Compaq for the family), I quickly realized how confining and proprietary it was. So, I bought an Amiga :). Speaking of old computers, not my main DAW, but I am still using the first DAW I built (okay, maybe my second) with an Intel DP35DP, quad core, & 8 Gb RAM. I'm about to put it down but it also has been faithful for 15 years now through four Windows OSes (I skipped a few). @Rain, I appreciate your insights and history - there is a lot to like about Apple. I know there are wins and losses on both sides which is really the curse that goes along with the blessings of technology. But waiting over two weeks to recover an account? Nope. We live in a rural area and the closest Apple store is an hour away.

Yep, was thinking the other day maybe I should have a "little black book" where I write down much of what I have digitally. This, not just to remember but also to pass along to my son (or grandkids) who have a propensity for music production all of my login and email information. If nothing else, it makes me feel a bit better about all the money I've thrown at the non-physical items I've purchased. But, I like Excel for that as well. Thanks for the idea.

Yep, in fact it was iTunes that was the beginning of the end of Apple for me. Might have been a PC/iTunes thing but I absolutely hated to wait on iTunes to update my library - just a painful time-consuming ordeal. I'm sure it has gotten better (or not) but I guarantee you I won't be finding out.

I've had a few iPhones and iPads for many years but have tried to avoid them the last several years. I still have a generation 1 iPad that up until recently has worked great even though I can't update the OS any longer for some newer apps. I also have a newer one I purchased last year for a Square POS system. I decided just to downsize and only use the newer one. However, it's been months since I've used it and could not come up with the PIN I set up (I'm old!!). The blood began to boil because I knew it was going to be an ordeal dealing with the mother of the universe. I was encouraged when I was able to get to a recovery process I thought wouldn't be too difficult but soon became irritated when I was told I would receive an email "this time tomorrow" (24hrs) with recovery instructions. Okay, just breathe and wait it out. So, I got the email this morning - one minute short of the 24 hour period. What does it say??? December 16th?!?!?!?! I can't think of ONE non profane word at the moment. "An account recovery request was made for your Apple ID. Dear Wren, An account recovery request for your Apple ID (xxxxxxxx) was made from an iPad near xxxxxxxx,xx on December 2, 2022 at 7:51:44 AM CST. The contact phone number provided was +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx. You will receive a text or a phone call at this number when your account is ready to recover on December 16, 2022 at 7:51:44 AM CST. For updated status information or to provide additional information to help recover your account, visit https://iforgot.apple.com." EDIT: well, I finally came up with my 6 digit pin (I was one number off). But, my rant still stands. After verifying by texting security codes to my phone AND email, why would Apple or any company go to these lengths other than an obsession to control? I've not experienced anything like it even with companies that manage my passwords (ironic, I know), websites, and finances.

Congrats MM! ...and how much of that $9.99 would you get in royalties?? 😏

While I have no idea if development continues, but support @ rayzoon.com were very quick to respond to me via email last month and offer me a very nice discount to complete the collection. I still have yet to fully use it.

Anyone recognize the keyboard used in the Feoria video? Just curious and haven't been able to find the exact model online. 9 faders, 16 pads, LED screen far left.

Also from TapeOp: TapeOp readers can take an additional 50% off Live 11 Intro with the code TapeOp50 - thats Live Intro for just $40 (usually $99)! But hurry, the code expires December 2, 2022. https://www.ableton.com/en/shop/live/

Glad I searched before I posted the same - not surprised! I had forgotten I had the ChannelStrip 3 until recently when I was setting up a gig in GigPerformer4 and was looking to lower CPU demand. I was surprised to see 1-3% decrease in replacing the Howard Benson vocal plug with this. I wondered if MH was still active and emailed a support question asking about maybe a discount for other plugs. I received a timely reply and an early BF offer for the Production Bundle (all plugs) at $199. Prices aren't what we've become accustom lately but they are good plugs. I've found the CS3 plug to be fairly subtle much more so than the Howard Benson which I also like. Just MTC & HO

Just for reference, my email offer was $299 or $29.99/mo x 10. I have 75 of their plugs currently. Little embarrassed by that considering I have iZotope, FabFilter and Waves but hey, look where I hang out!!

Creative and well worth it for someone new or with only a few of their plugs, but no.

FYI, $129 at SafeHarbor for Pro X7 Suite Upgrade. https://www.sharbor.com/samplitude-pro-x-7-suite-1.html?sel_id=MGXN0250169\

This might be time! V Collection 9 is $199 for me (I only have Lab V currently).

Less than 5 minutes here from start to using plugin. Thanks Larry!

You could always order through Sweetwater for a demo... https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Connex--solid-state-logic-connex-quad-usb-conferencing-microphone

Friendly reminder ....... one should always check personal inventory before purchasing. ..... just sayin'. Can't remember what I paid for the Space Bundle on my hard drive.

Agree that iZotope Loyalty structure is a complete mess and so beneath iZotope as a company. On the bright side I added MP5 Upgrade to my cart from the OP link for $149 but then left the page. After a couple of hours I received a "special offer" for another 5% off via email making it $141.55. I love my wife and being married, otherwise I would be all over this!!

You are correct, NO license required! fixed

I recently began using a plugin I bought on sale back in 2016 which I had forgotten about - Metric Halo ChannelStrip3. I realized I also had their Thump plug which is still free for signing up for their email list. Mac AU, Mac/Win VST (only VST2) & Mac/Win Pro Tools AAX (Native + DSP). Thump Page

Nope, I just completed the purchase. Try again. You don't have the option for the code until close to the final stage of checkout. EDIT: or perhaps I just slid under the cutoff?

Wow, the MIDI 6 pack at Thomann is only $80 or $13.33/ea ($119 at Best Service). If only I had EZB. https://www.thomannmusic.com/toontrack_ezbass_midi_6_pack_bundle.htm Drums & Keys 6 packs are $81. https://www.thomannmusic.com/search_dir.html?sw=midi 6 pack&smcs=64a500_7204

Great to see you Larry!! I was just contemplating Nuendo a few days ago when I got the 50% off sale notice. I passed on the recent Cubase sale. EDIT: certainly better than the $499 price from Steinberg and Sweetwater!

Yeah, it's always the things you don't have that are the shiniest! But I also remember and took advantage of updating for $79 update and was a bit put off by the current update price. Agree with your plan. I started with Sonar XL and have stayed current even today. I also like Reaper and still pull it up for quick and easy tasks - aside from CW, you just can't beat the price and efficiency of Reaper. I probably haven't given myself a chance to really bond with S15 & should. Thanks, comments here help keep me grounded!
