That 30% off still makes it over 3x FabFilter ProQ3!  Does anyone own these??  

I'd bet anyone who paid $500 for a software EQ will swear by it to avoid looking like a fool.

I guess it might be wise to set aside some money for additional storage...

I think I'll stick with the Kontakt version that I forgot I even had until today.

I'll take Paulo's wisdom.  2gb vs. 7gb,  It's not a must have library.  If I need space for more Kontakt libraries I'd ditch the Kontakt version too.

File size is a major turnoff. 

Easy pass on this. I don't care how good it is.  I have channel strips from IK and PA. They exist on 3 machines. So far I haven't used one either.

It's been like this for at least a couple of years.

 As for one being overloaded with plugins you could be like the other kids on the block with a new pair of shoes but I'll pass since I would forget I have it and rarely use it.  Sure it's highly touted but I will pass.

10awesome from Audio Modern.

They are charging a shipping fee, so I'd assume it's phys.

It has to be since it is a physical box of a previous release. 

I get tired of these players where you have little control of distribution.

Yep IK takes up space

See Soundpaint, 8dio, EastWest

I'm less of a fan of apps that don't allow you more control of distribution.  This is the problem with most romplers.  At least with Sampletank, Kontakt, I can archive the downloads which is handy for multiple machines.

I'm not fond of the bloatness in Soundpaint.  Angels is under 2gb for Kontakt.

Hard to fathom that the Commodore 64 is 63gb for the full blown version.  There are some that are gaga over this.  I would think these could be duplicated on any softsynth.

Anyone have any experience with them?

"Heavy Metal Creator Complete Bundle" ($1000 ?!) is $199 - 20% = ~$160

 

Yes. I like their midi packs.  As for software it usually doesn't have any documentation.

I should be called the "meh" sale.

My only concern about Soundpaint is how big these libraries can be.  That seems to be an 8dio trademark. Too many sample developers are into bloat that makes game developers jealous.

I'm still amazed how Spitfire made that 300mb BBC sound great. 

It's not the libraries that are so expensive as much as buying the drive space to host them.

 Some are probably not aware how terrible VSL's license replacement policy was. They started selling dongle insurance. Hopefully that will change. If VSL every goes to a 2 machine limit I'll be a big fan.

I've subscribed before, but I find that I almost never read the issues. Am I alone? (or is this just like not using plugins we buy) 🙂

 

Same here. I read the reviews but the free stuff doesn't really do much for me since I have so much stuff.  I do archive the downloads.

Is dongle will be no more an option ?

I'm betting Yamaha is doing away with eLicenser.

How many computers can I use with a new license?

You are allowed to install our products on multiple computers, but you can only activate a product on two computers at any one time.

Hey Pete...

The Tascam's have shown up in my products, but they are running as "Demos" despite the fact
that they are authorized, and show as being owned in the Custom Shop...any clues as to why?

EDIT:  They have to be authorized individually to be out of demo mode...figured it out!

That was......annoying.

So I did a stupid thing today.........y'all know what that is....

Which can be a bad thing

Just think in a year you can have a core for each instrument in the orchestra if you have the $$$ for this CPU 😆

At the same time developers will find way to bring these systems to a crawl.  Someone will eventually get one of these and forget the word "server".  People have done that with Intel server processors. 

 The difference is you can finance them from Sweetwater.
