  1. This should be a sticky, I'm too stupid to mess with this stuff. The issue which is turning my off towards DAW software is the addiction to bloat. Most gamer have a 2TB OS drive and 256gb is pushing it for DAW software. The rationale is disk space is cheap. Well yes if you want to compare prices from the 80's and 90's. Many users don't go back that far. Where cheap ends is the inconvenience of upgrading an OS drive and having to do that many different reauthorization schemes. That means contacting support and waiting on them, No issue if you use only iLok.
  2. I decided to buy it from Best Service with some coins. This was on my wish list for over 10 years. This and their brass are still quality.
  3. Not surprised by this. I guess New Egg can be like that as well. People will buy a motherboard and they get one that was returned. The problem is with cheap stuff is when it breaks it's easier to replace than deal with a manufacturer warranty. All we do is enlarge landfills. I rarely buy anything off of Amazon. For PC add ons like drives I buy from Best Buy. The problem with China is they steal patents and designs. So far they are not good at stealing quality.
  4. Somehow this tells me to avoid those. It has "learned the hard way" written all over me. Thanks for posting the link. I didn't no such things existed.
  5. This so relates to our DAW world.

  7. Welcome to the modern age of DAWs.
  8. I've tried that but file size has a lot to do with it. Sometimes copying is not fast enough.
  9. I reformatted my IDES because I don't really have the time to write zeros and didn't care to smash them. The only DATA on them was archived loops and recorded TV videos. Those only held 160GB. I bought another TV and used the previous one to replace my Vizio 32 780p that I used as a computer monitor. The problem was some software would run off the screen with that resolution. But I had no issues seeing software. I'm still keeping it since I don't know how long the other two will last. My biggest problem is when going to the recycle center is to not take something back. The last time I took home this massive CPU cooler and the board and CPU with it. The ram and CPU was from an Intel "meh" series. That massive cooler was a waste of money for the former user since the CPU wasn't good for overclocking. Where I use to live there was a computer store that would take old stuff and the motherboards were taken by a place the stripped the metals. There was tables setup with old accessories. Sometimes you needed an IDE cable or a PS2 extension cable. I still keep older cases since many modern cases don't even allow DVD drives.
  10. That's why I avoid them. I bet they are aware a it's not on the top right now.
  11. So what's the verdict - to update or not? Sometimes there's the danger with NI is there is no rollback since downloads are removed after installation. Then you have to go an extra mile to get the previous version. No other software I have licenses acts this way.
  12. I'm in the process of "decluttering". I had a collection of external IDE drives that needed to go. I don't miss those. I'm going thru more stuff to send to their end. I had this Acer monitor that was still running 20 years later. Eventually those M-Audio PCI cards will have to be retired my older systems with PCI slots die. There's also my M-Audio FW410 the was always reliable. I don't really care to buy a firewire card just to use it. I had a JVC 5.1 receiver that I sent to a thrift store. I use to run my PC sound through and rarely turned it off over 10 years. ALong with that went an Infinity center channel along with a Radio Shack subwoofer with two satellite speakers made by Infinity. I have another Radio Shack sub and 2 Infinity 3 way speakers to move. This stuff sounded great but I don't have room for it. Buying hi fi gear is becoming less available. Plus those speakers didn't have plugs like for the new receivers. I decided to get a soundbar and it's less space but some of this technology is annoying wit this "smart" junk. Nothing is built to last anymore because it costs far less. Remember tube TVs and there was a repairman. I also ditched DVD players but I still keep them in my PCs.
  13. Never understood why this wasn't a free upgrade for those of us who recently bought Komplete.
  14. Best post ever to silence the annoying Linux user. Some are more annoying than Apple users outside the DAW world.
  15. Doesn't Linux already lead in appliances and hardware not requiring an OS? That's what the fanboys claim. The standalone Push is a Linux box.
  16. I have Groove 3 and MVP subs but for some reason I still buy videos on Udemy.
  17. Their free choices are limited. Easy pass. Hopefully I can say that on everything DAW related. Pass-too much stuff. Free? Pass-too much stuff. It probably wont last long but Waves makes it easy.
  18. Some of the best utilities come from open source developers. I've used Linux CDs and flash drives to recover files from a Windows system. It falls way short in the world of multimedia and supporting the hardware for those apps. I tried riding that Linux train 4 times and no more for me.

It is a rocket science to most people otherwise it wouldn't be the microcosm that it is. When it comes to anything an experienced user can't remember the beginner stage.
  20. Only a member with 6 posts would bother to post this. The usual posters in deals never post this.
  21. Image Line's Harmor has been doing that for quite some time.
  22. I got all 3. I like the idea behind the Reserve series.

    Considering Bitwig

    If you are into Waves WUP then Bitwig is for you. I avoid this DAW. I have too many DAWs as it it. In long term it's an expensive DAW if you are one of those people who can't avoid paying upgrades. I know the yada, yada, you don't have to buy the upgrade but who has that discipline? I don't.
