I never get those notifications either from my email registered in 8dio. I do get them in my other 2 accounts. The file size for something called alien drum is a bit ridiculous. If you used it in a mix I guess you would have to mention, "check out the alien drum in this. Doesn't it sound great?"

File size turns me off to anything Soundpaint.

more like never I like what Jim says about Linux

There's always something out there to replace them. It's always a risk. People can still run Gigastudio (GVI) to some extent and the Yellow Tools libraries are under Magix but users move on.

Just think how many of them will be half-assed with no link or using acronyms.

BTW most of you should already have this if you have the latest release of Komplete.

Someone bought Music who have Kontakt because they didn't want the whole Cine Percussion on their drive. I guess the a la cart works.

Do we really know for sure?

That's the one they f'update the most.

Give MS some time and it wont. Look how they screwed up start menus.

The first one to do this was Garritan with GPO. Back in the Northern Sound Source days they banned EW since they gave him a hard time over it. They failed to realize this was a starter type library and was around 4GB. I still love GPO if you want to create something quick. Most 8dio libraries were developed for Kontakt 5. There's not much overhead. The problem with orchestra libraries is it's hard to reinvent the wheel. People are into shiny and new. It's hard to comp up with new ideas for Strats and Les Pauls. Wind instruments don't have new innovations. I find serious professionals don't go for shiny and new.

Shouldn't have to do that. Most apps have that option not to start up.

Such as? So far they delete those large libraries after installing which sucks since you have to archive after installed. The last think I want to do when replacing a drive is to download all of those large files and some ISPs warn you about downloading to much. I can reinstall all of my IK, VSL, non player Kontakt libraries without using the net.

UA does the same thing and no option to keep it from startup.

I've never had to do that with NI libraries. You can add folders in Kontakt. I've had them spread on 3 drives and no issues. This is where Kontakt rules.

I avoid that rompler. It seems there is confusion when you have the Magix version and this one. I still haven't gotten over it when it was developed by Yellow Tools.

LOL, my joke about Reaper is with all of the constant updates they never get it right. It's a joke, remember that.

That's because cancelling a sub on PayPal is easier. I wonder how many subs out there where people forget to cancel. They even have apps to track your subs.

It seems vendors also have these deals. I often buy from Best Service. I try to avoid the TT money pit but that Big Rock kit ruined that. Got it for a little over $30 at Best Service.

They've done this for a long time as have many others. The reason I've never upgraded is the size of the library. Storage space isn't cheap and it's not real expensive either but I read that some avoid libraries because it means upgrading drives. A libraries that is around 1TB is gonna soak you into at $200 reputable 2TB SSD drive.

This seems to be a trend in the software industry. You wonder who is next.

Shouldn't this have its own thread?

Odd to see an EW library on APD.

Not me. With REs and VST there's too many choices. Not all DAWs are quick at scanning plugins. With over 1000 combos of VST it takes awhile. I can even make the quick loading Reaper come to a slight crawl.
