I subscribed but I still don't understand why you keep committing to a single-platform strategy. Isn't it preferable to diversify a little so that if things go sour you have alternatives? And being able to monetize from the beginning without min 1000 subscribers can be an advantage, e.g., on Odysee https://odysee.com/@OregonPacifist:0/youtube-vs.-odysee-earnings-comparison:2 And there is also Rumble, without min # of subscribers

I thought his stepping down was actually announced around the time of Soundwide so, not much of a surprise. I met Dirk in person once at a an IMSTA FESTA in New York City, where he was demoing the bx SSL consoles, and TMT technology. He really radiated shining passion and love for music production. I think he will do great at the Board of Directors, still providing advice and direction, but with more time for himself for enjoying the results of years of hard work.

I have Pro Tools standard (now Studio) perpetual license and pay support & updates (I bought a renewal for multiple years when the prices weren't the insanity that they are today). If I were in your situation I'd probably ask nicely and fill out the form anyway to see if I get lucky, there's a chance they don't care much, and there is not much to lose anyway if they say no.

Falcon AAX was included in Pro Tools for free for a limited time. When it was removed they had a crossgrade offer. It wasn't well advertised and I found out several months later (https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/FAQ/UVI-Falcon-FAQ). I filled out the form, and they sent me a code that discounted Falcon to $100. The form seems to be still active If you don't have Pro Tools but have a friend who does, and is not interested in Falcon, try to convince your friend to get you a code, or to let you use his/her ilok id to fill out the form and get the code.

It will look great in your collection!

The ball dropped at Times Square, Happy New Ear everyone!

It looks like they may have some mistake in their databases, resulting in a mixup of 85 and 285. When I look in my User Area I see But I haven't purchased an upgrade yet and when I click on the "Go to your plugins" link I only have PSP 85

Look again? (although the old one is more expensive than the new one since it's not on sale) https://www.pspaudioware.com/products/psp-85

Making a new account and re-selling your old one is probably a good choice. If you add it to your existing account the extra licenses will increase the number of allowed installs - E.g., now when managing my licenses, for most plugins I see [Activated Devices: 1 | Available: 5] (and previously it used to be [Activated Devices: 1 | Available: 2])

We are blessed for all you do in this forum, Happy Birthday Larry! and many, many happy returns of the Day!

Wishing Happy Holidays to y'all, and a prosperous 2023 full of interesting new plugin releases at amazing deal prices!

Ends January 3rd, I'm tempted to wait and see if there are interesting January freebies

If you purchase a Visual Studio Subscription (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/#software-and-downloads?cat=visual-studio-enterprise-subscription-with-github-enterprise) you can get multiple license keys for development/test purpose, for Windows, Office, etc. (it's not exactly the Microsoft version of an "All Bundle" but it has some resemblances) The words in the license agreement don't allow for resale and don't allow for purposes other than developing/testing applications, but these dev/test keys work the same as a normal key. There are sites that ignore the written license agreement and make money from un-bundling and re-selling the keys. For anyone at risk of an audit (typically large- or medium-size companies, and smaller companies being acquired by a larger one) it can be a really bad idea getting these "dev/test keys" and using them for production purposes. For individual consumers the risk of an audit is lower (but not zero, and Microsoft has the capability for blocking ranges of keys, although I haven't heard it being applied to dev/test keys, only to stolen keys). Please note that I am not accusing stacksocial, maybe these are legitimate licenses, I'm just explaining how there is a "gray market" of sites that sell cheap license keys that work fine when you use them.

I did get the PA All 2022 bundle for $224, recommended Getting a few of the "big bundles" definitely makes it easier keeping GAS under control (although I won't claim it can get fully cured) I'll keep you both in mind for future $75 vouchers that become available.

Also at dontcrack, discounted if you do a custom bundle (buy multiple products in a single purchase, get 5~20% off each product) https://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=174&products_id=4261 http://store.dontcrack.com/specials.php

@Niky Serrano are you still interested in a $75? If no new plugins are released between now and Saturday you can have mine

iLok dongles don't generally get much "love" but, when it came to moving to a new machine I found it quite helpful not having to de-activate so that I could re-activate. Of course, in terms of licensing, moving Hornet plugins to the new machine was the best 😄

Reverb: Waves Manny Marroquin Reverb Track Compressor: Waves Puigchild Bus Compressor: Sonible Smart:Comp Precision EQ: DDMF IIEQ Pro (or Hornet Total EQ or SSL X-EQ 2, I'm still deciding) Character EQ: Something from PA, I haven't settled on one yet Delay: Acustica Lemon (vocal) Audiority Echoes T7E (guitar) Chorus: Arturia Chorus Dimension-D Pitch Shifter: Celemony Melodyne Basic Filter: Waves Meta Filter Glitcher/Stutterer: Melda MRhythmizer Limiter: Nugen ISL Stereo Imager: Fieldler Audio Stage Amp sim: Native Instruments Guitar Rig Vocoder: Arturia Vocoder V (I recently got the Xils vocoders, which probably will replace Arturia, but not yet) Saturation: Waves Aphex Vintage Exciter Restoration: iZotope Rx Clipper: IK Multimedia T Racks Clipper == Bonus Round == Utility: iZotope Neutron All-in-one Mastering: iZotope Ozone I tend to think about my mix differently from "basic controls", e.g., I rarely reach for a clipper, a chorus, a basic filter, or even an amp sim. I generally use instrument-focused multi-effects instead, so I'm expanding the list Multieffect General: Eventide H3000 Factory (or PSP N2O) Multieffect Guitar: Waves CLA Guitars Multieffect Bass: Unfiltered Audio Bass Mint Multieffect Vocals: iZotope Nectar Drum Transient control: Elysia nvelope + Eventide SplitEq == Extra == Monitoring/checking: Mastering the Mix Levels

If you'll be reselling the licenses you don't use and the prices will be a good deal, don't forget to add in your signatures the links to your buy/sell listings.

Stupid Deal of the Hour Line 6 POD Studio UX2 with POD Farm $89.99 https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/line-6-pod-studio-ux2-with-pod-farm/250004000000000 (note: these deals used to last until the end of the day, but it looks like not anymore, deal is now dead)

Is it expiration 1 year after cancelling or 1 year always?

Seems to work initially but not to the end. Also, it is unclear if the books are downloadable or it is online reading only. Jan 29 is the last day you can access the books for free. This may be more like an extended trial than a true freebie. The page is up: But then after filling out the form I get an error because the browser cannot connect to routledgecms.ap.corplan.net
