Live Suite which includes Max is pricey even the upgrade compared to Reaper. People pay for that stuff instead of taking time to learn it on their own. The rationale is no different when people buy presets of any plugin. 8 versions of Reaper is about equal to Live Max upgrade.

The stuff in Komplete is underrated for those with no orchestra experience.

You have to hook DAW users into that kind of thinking.

So does one have to do 5 independent purchases? Plus you have to use credit card.

Same here. They get a 👇 despite what it says.

I get the impression that archiving them and trying to install later on would not be smooth like Kontakt. They have Originals which are very affordable so I assume that's the direction they are going. When it comes to orchestra libraries one can only invent the wheel so far. With the large amount of VST synths I see no need for sample based players either.

I wasn't interested in it as a pipe organ,

Another major fail for me when I said I would avoid free stuff. After 10 seconds of the demo that ruined it.

My pet peeve is the overkill of Melodyne on instruments and vocals. You can go through older recordings when stuff is not perfectly in tune but yet we'd rather trust some colors than our ears.

Sometimes that's the only way to do it.

Windows itself is about 40gb. I think XP was only 4. I still use system restore but at the smallest amount. I should post a picture of the size of presets by developers. I learned to not set Live to auto update. I once had over 8gb of their installers. Last week I stared inspecting all of my Kontakt libraries. Developers rarely bother to use the Kontakt compression in smaller libraries. I went through all of the Kontakt libraries and claimed 50gb of space by using the Kontakt compression. Usually large libraries are compressed but developers who put out smaller libraries just use the wav files. All of those Soundiron Iron packs took up 8gb of space in wav format. Little things add up. I have a spare 500gb drive. I'm not ready to transfer yet wondering about reauthorization hassles.

Windows itself seems to grow on its own. Somehow I went from 12gb of free space down to 6. I use Tree File Size Free to look up the large files. Worst offenders are IK Multimedia - 15.8 GB if you have all of the software. I don't know if I could move the Modo factory file without issues. The other Modo libraries are on a separate drive. NI - presets take of a lot of space. Reason Studios- another 15GB with some sample based REs. Many developer presets reach 1GB Izotope is Isobloat. Wavetable Synth presets eat up a lot of space. I don't want to deal with makelink either. 256 drive doesn't cut it anymore for a DAW if you use other software. I know gamers due to developer bloat use 1-2TB OS drives. Disk space is not cheap when you have to buy it. Be sure to check how much space is taken up.

If you are from the new generation of kids, you get out a calculator on your phone. If this isn't handy than use you google it

11 lbs - interesting. As for size and quality it's hard to beat those IK iLoud monitors.

I found the same thing but you explained it best.

I'd be afraid to buy it since Yamaha support doesn't last long unlike RME.

Almost reminds me of the Siberian group we hear at Christmas, I've grown old of hearing. This is a bit different with the lady voices. I listened to parts of their other stuff and I like it. I thought that stuff died 30 years ago.

It seems no one is talking about this.

I'd like to know the link on that. I might have to do the same.

Snap Heap has always been free.

Hopefully there wont be a barrage of half assed posts without links. This often happens when people turn it into a game or assume everyone knows what you are talking about by using acronyms or whatever. I check this stuff in the morning so my brain is barely aware. One of these days I consider challenging myself to stay off any deal forum for a week. That will probably be a fail. The only time that worked was due to 3 weeks of being in a hospital with only a phone and no charger.

Just go with Vahalla and don't look back.

My next AMD budget build may be onboard graphics. Hence the word "budget". Video cards are the most overpriced component these days if you aren't going to use it for gaming.

It a small file size.
