These were radio commercials.  I always enjoyed them.   The real men of genius is who created these.

Oh, Kontakt 7 is announced already. How much would be the upgrade price from 6 to 7 for Kontakt only?

Wait till half off sale then get it for $49.

I've never used it.  They ditched their b3 and Kore 2.   I guess their getting rid of it because all the EDM gurus never touch it.  It will probably resurface as a Kontakt factory library.

If you already have it one Steam you don't have to pay for it again.

 IMO the best GTA.   The Ballad of Gay Tony is even better than Liberty City.

His skills playing guitar is just a small part.  He might be the most talented Van Halen.   Too often more is made of him doing his dad's licks.  He writes his own songs and he's played all of the instruments on some of his recordings.   His music doesn't remind you of VH.  Unfortunately when your dad is a legend I'm sure people want a VH tribute instead of his own music.

A no-brainer, but you need Windows XP/Vista 32 bit.   

You can still make music with that.

So, are we in for a freebie if we owned Liquid Notes?

Email them. 

The long promise you have been waiting for.

As an owner of a Liquid Notes license from Re-Compose, you should have previously received an email from us regarding its future. In that email, we mentioned that Liquid Notes was now owned by W. A. Production and would no longer be supported/developed. We also informed you that W. A. Production would provide you with a future product containing technology from the Liquid Notes plugin.

I'm not hardcore. Just a casual gamer, and I did spend $149.99 on an ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 two years ago. It does everything I need it to, gets insane FPS on classic games. And does very well on most games from the last 10-15 years, running on an i5-9600K.

And I spent $129.99 for an MSI GeForce GTX 950 2GB GDDR5 around 6 years ago. That one is still working well on an older PC, a 3rd gen i5-3570K.

Same here.  I have a 9800GT still running in another system.   I avoid many modern games that require a boutique card.  Those are usually crap and bloated.  If I were to do a DAW only build I would go with an CPU with built in graphics.  Those processors are more affordable.   I think graphics cards are the most overprice piece of hardware these days.

I don't think I ever spent over $150 on a graphics card...

You're due.

Not sure about that - you still get battery Expansions being released regularly.

I rarely see those and I look for them. Most often developers use Kontakt.

Battery will be next.

Posted already.

But how u put that yt link work in here 😐

This one had a better title since it listed the developer.   I don't want to play the VI Control guessing game.

Acronis TI has a virus checker.  It gets annoying installing installing software when it asks to trust.  On one system Live took ages to open up and for some reason Acronis didn't trust it.

How could I forget Modwheel?   There are so many great small developers, but they make high-quality stuff that is really unusual.

Anyway, I was reminded because they sent me an email about  a new freebie that is available for a short while called Wreckage.

https://www.modwheel.co.nz/wreckage?utm_source=MODWHEEL&utm_campaign=40c364968a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_20220905_WRECKAGE_LAUNCH&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_a67e6c42b0-40c364968a-443798345&mc_cid=40c364968a&mc_eid=1c0d8cda9e

I use their acoustic bass a lot.  This began as a library with a lot of unusual bass noises.  They then updated it and added the typical pizzicato and arco sounds.   I tend to use it for acoustic bass, as it has a lot of stuff you can't find anywhere else. 

https://www.modwheel.co.nz/the-lowdown-v2

There's a free version of some Lowdown soudns called Tasty Morsels
https://www.modwheel.co.nz/free-stuff

There's also a freebie that's all Feedback.

Interesting that I downloaded Wreckage and deleted it without even trying it only because I have so much stuff.  I downloaded again and will try it.

Found out the upgrade to Kontakt player versions are free.  I have Blue and the Ladies. Mike said the player versions are more updated.

If you can, I'd recommend using a third-party AV instead of the built in one. The built in one is fast, but it's usually one of the most unreliable in AV comparisons.

Never had an issue with built in.

 We have a bad habit of using Deals for anything but.    Members should look at other parts of the forum.

I'd say the best alternative strategy is joining that Facebook group Larry and I are in. He reposted a lot of his deals from that group. But what he did better than anyone I know of was provide additional discount codes and sales from developers that don’t use affiliate marketing. However,  that group and the music software deals site  guy that post here doesn't share the codes or a lot of the deals from smaller devs because they're focused on making commissions off of your sale. They only show you deals where they get a kickback and exclude the codes and developers that don't give them a kickback. 

I guess one has to search "I'd say the best alternative strategy is joining that Facebook group Larry and I are in" to find it.  I may have joined it but FB is really messy.  You get these feeds because friends replied to something you didn't join.

My 2 (pence/cent/centavos/etc.)

Lars was on top of immediate availability of sale items that I would get in a company provided email sometimes up to two days later (ToonTrack comes to mind the most). Without Lars posting his insane amount of threads daily I'll just rely on company related announcements. I may miss a deal here or there, but such is life.

Maybe his supplier went dry.  I doubt he spent hours surfing the web.   I also think his absence may have more to it since I can't see him getting that upset.

Huh? Try here: https://marketplace.tracktion.com/waveform-pro-upgrades.html

Don't forget to use the LABOR2022 discount code.

Or get it from JRR here: https://www.jrrshop.com/tracktion-waveform-pro-12-pro-upgrade-from-waveform-pro-11

I believe you don't need to buy the dongles anymore if you buy their new software.. But I am still in C 10.5 and using the old licensing. Can't be arsed to upgrade. Everything works for me as is .

It was brought to their attention on the Steinberg forum that Elektra license gets installled in the eLicenser.  Can't really undo it either.
