The upgrade still costs less than Live's Suite to Suite upgrade. You do get Soundforge and Spectral Layers. If they threw in Acid Pro I would probably jump at this. Their Independence Pro and virtual instruments is more of a turn off. I never installed their VIs in Acid Pro because the samples don't have the option to be on another drive.

Maybe for a video rendering farm.

People missed that 280 watts. It should come with its own mini nuclear reactor. In the summer my choice would have to be using that or running the AC.

Magix is a money pit when it comes to frequent upgrades.

SW1000XG wouldn't even work on a P4 915 chipset. The DS2416 is far more forgiving. Those actually worked in nVidia chipsets.

You get a thumbs down for NOT POSTING THE LINK! 😁

I used some of mine on their audio interface about a year ago.

Lightweight. Mine is $322. Those are hard to use now since I have IK everything.

I have a SW1000XG that is basically useless and would fail on most motherboards. Running a box with W2000 and Sonar 2 would probably be a cool experience. W2000 is my favorite OS. If I could do it over again I would have never bought that card and got a Hammerfal for the same price and still be using it. One reason why I would never buy a Yamaha DAW product is they are good at doorstops because of lack of continued support.

To me this is like being able to do your own oil changes but prefer to have someone else do it. Squires ad Epiphones are quality. I guess just buy those and change out the electronics.

The recent deal for $299 was good enough for me since I got AT5 Max, the rest of TRacks, and Modo Drums, and B3.

Isn't there only XP drivers for this? Do XP drivers work in W7 32 bit? I've also wondered if someone made drivers for Linux.

L love the Pro Tools newsletter.

Is that after it's installed? Installers are always much larger.

I'm no longer lured by freebies in a magazine. My mistake for allowing my CM sub to auto renew.

Some developers punish you for upgrade pricing after skipping an upgrade. Tracktion does this. That DAW made it to my cut list of time to ditch DAWs befire they exceed my plugin count.

Kody use to be my go to for Waves. Now I don't buy Waves. He still has the best prices for EW products.

There's the subscription model phobia going around. Subs have been around a long time. The field of competition is large and I think with so many options out there being sub only is a foolish mistake. There was a time users thought everything would go dongle. It didn't take long for IK to drop it. Subs work for Adobe since there are far more people who take pictures than use DAWs. Reason Studios adopted the Cakewalk "sub" model by offering monthly content. That's only good for hoarding and less resources used to develop the main product.

I have a small one that I use to blow out the dust in my computers. I know how to use that one, definitely DAW related.

Image - Line - one of the reasons it become my favorite DAW. They also gave me Flex presets after being in the hospital which was all of them at that time. iLok - great support. Spitfire - they have weekend support. VSL I like to support developers who have the "I trust you" attitude towards the enduser. When I stopped using Sonar I still bought licenses because of that. IK - I know they take a beating over upgrades. The $299 to Total Max was worth it for me to have all of AT5, the newer plugs in TRacks. Their support is top notch. Pete is very good at wearing a fire suit. They give you free stuff and any support issue if resolved quickly. Licensing is my biggest factor. Thumbs down to Steinberg and Waves on this.

I'm still stupid on how to use a compressor despite watching tutorial. If all of my compressors turned into hardware I would need a warehouse for them.

I started to watch these tutorials since I have everything. I thought of it as just another rompler but this is more of a synth. I have yet to download their large banks of drums.

I'm starting to dislike developers. Too much bloat and video cards get outdated because of their shoddy development. Many games are over 100GB, Most games have a 1TB OS drives these days. Few allow quick saves which means they demand more of your time. Witcher 3 is one of the best games because it doesn't demand boutique hardware and has quick saves. Some games with checkpoints annoy you with redundancy.

Wow! I still have a 9800GT still going. I've never had a video card die but only the fans on a unit.
