    What ! no OGG file support  ?  Acid Pro 9 don't even  seem to read them nor recognize them ...

    there seems to be no way to audition them using preview in the file explorer .

    Once inserted in a project to hear and see if they work , all I get is a flat-line graphic where it should show a wave form and    a noise   when I hit play

    As far as I can tell so  far there  is no  way to insert the OGG files into an Acid Pro 9 project and have Acid Pro 9  play them

    Nice one Magix

    Well it's suppose too.  Pretty odd.

    I did not see the coupon in my account, not a big deal. I got as far as checking out three packs and the website crashed while entering my payment details. Seems its still down. I am not sure if the payment went through or not. I will check later.

    EDIT - Back up again now. The purchase did not go through first time. It went faultlessly on the second attempt.

     That's because they are giving away the player for free.  When you order these presets you will get a player added to your order.   $4 for a bank and the player is really good for someone on  budget.

    doh !!!! user error - I posted the plugindiscount link and not the boz one

    - and bought them  at $39 (and the wall - thanks @mibby ?)

    they were $125(ish) at plugin discounts

     

     

    I usually buy direct from Boz.  I think small developers like this who make great stuff and have such sales is the reason why companies like Waves do the $29 deals. 

  4.  I'm done with them.  I agree to a point what they needed to do with vouchers.   How much of that stuff you got free or for under $10 is nothing more than hard drive filler?  Most of the SPL and Unfiltered is gimmick stuff.   How many plugins have been updated?  So much older stuff on version 1.  I think they should go boutique all the way and go subscription.   They could probably survive on fanboyz.

    I think those particular interfaces come with a USB C to USB A cable as default - it was in one of the videos

    they don't actually supply a C-C cable

     

    And it's still USB 2.  It would be interesting what kind of buffer size one can run with stuff like Serum and Spire.  Usually something in this price range does not run well under 512 samples.  I doubt you would get the low latency of a Babyface or the mk4.  

    When someone gets one I'd like to know these things.      

    Optimized drivers yield round-trip latency as low as 2.5ms at 24-bit/96kHz with a 32 sample buffer.

    I'm a doubting Thomas on a unit with a $169 price tag.

    Personnaly iv'e been testing here and there cubase for years , and this is why i bougth the Cubase 10 pro , this one is the first time it's solid in pretty every apsect including some aesthetics stuff ....

    ok don't tell me how i know that , and don't spread it , but chance are they're going dongless : when ? will it be done or not ? can't say but , thy're into it ;)  that's why i said don't laugth , it wasn't a joke lol

    and i know their update process is expensive that's why i waited a version i could stick with for years , the  only thing missing is the ability to have complex routing of complex fx / instuyments chains,reakltime Clip FX and an easy way to read overlapping audio clip events ... in all other areas it's pretty equals or superior to other daws ...

     

     

    So wait and see .... at 179 euros the licences , risk is minimal , versus benefit if it rocks !!

    I will def use it as a PT replacement and use S1 as my go to witch is the case since one year ...(still waiting bandlad to give that burst to next level , will be happy to help an any way by the way ....to get their things up to actual market needs )

     

     

      elicenser and Cubase are owned by Yamaha.......don't get your hopes up unless they go into the human imbed chip....

    That depends on how bad the suck is!!

    I have tried and the intricate stuff gets lost in the audio to midi conversion. And that's what makes or breaks a useable  part. Fo me anyway.

    Oh that's easy.  Records the note you use and put them in Kontakt.   You can always dumb it down.  If your audience is to impress other DAW users, dumbing down doesn't work.

    Me too.

    Taking the doughnut round the hole view....... at least it removes the temptation to buy something else that I don't really need just to get the "free" thing.

     Two times I actually bought what I wanted.    Amazing how even the Kontakt freebies and the under $10 Kontakt instruments start accumulation over time.  I have 2 systems that have over 5tb of space each and it's gotten to the point where Kontakt/Komplete are spread across 3 drives.   Then you have to watch your OS drive because even with W10 that space creeps up.   You have to watch that app data folder since Waves and Live will populate that and so will other plugins and DAWs.  Some will still insist on installing 32 bit plugins. 

     Drive space is only cheap when you don't have to buy it.

    If that actually happened a while ago, I would have looked more seriously at Cubase as an alternative DAW. Not saying Cubase isn't serious; more that I personally prefer to be dongle-free... and also to not have to pay for minor-point releases.

    I'm thinking of not continuing the Cubase chain.  This is my first license.    FL, Bandlab, and Reaper will not break the bank.   I see more Mac users using Logic over Live.  Mixcraft is another one with cheap upgrades.

    Ok guyz imagine no more dongle ? Don t laugth ;) 

    At one time IK went dongle.   Licensing is still my #1 factor in purchasing.  More iLok stuff has went past single activation and doesn't need hardware.    VSL still has the worst policy with dongles.

     Melda and Image Line hasn't went under with their licensing. Nor has Izotope or IK.

    I have two old machines with Acid 8.  I'm not sure it's worth $20 to upgrade.  

    Then again why not?

    I still have those AP7 tutorials from Sony - they go deep into the midi side.

    Fixed!

    Seriously though, I think the kids these days can figure out things very easily/quickly (if they put their minds to it) and I figure throwing them straight into CbB might be the best thing. Deep down, I'm hoping they'll learn CbB and then teach me how to use it. 

    Getting Acid 9 was just being a little GASeous.   

    Most kids do this stuff on their phones.  Most of them wouldn't know how to turn on a desktop.

    I just had another thought about Acid Pro 9... ;)

    Maybe just buy it for the loop library, and  use Cakewalk to arrange the loops?

    Why bother. Their loops are not so great.  Wait till next month when you can get a bundle from ADSR for that price and they come with midi and presets.
