  1. I can't remember the last time I bought from PA. It has nothing to do with their quality. I can bring any DAW to crawl when opening it because of too many plugins - even Reaper.
  2. Maybe it's me but giving an answer to the freebie is like piracy. I remember the price of hard copy of these magazines was a a lot more than the digital format. Just buy it for the code and take advantage of the content. I like it since many of the tutorials have the project files. I think I have everything AAS so it's not a big deal.
  3. This. I'm not sure upgrading the MP Suite is really worth it. You get some more reverbs. Some of the other stuff you already have. No love for people who still have MP 3. Outside of Ozone and RX do you really need anything else.
  4. I guess if link and price would violate the forum rules.
  5. I'd like to see it reversed by getting a deal on that Kontakt versions. Something I noticed is going to their youtube channel that were they could do better. I downloaded the Iceland library but any videos were mostly talk. There's nothing about what makes it different. Sure you can hear the individual sounds but no demo of the sounds together. This is where they seem to lack a walk through unless it's a flagship product.
  6. I never cared for the Loopmaster label because their lack of midi. I'm hoping Image Line will have this function but yet they don't have that in their DAW. FL Studio, Live, and Reason don't have these functions.
  7. It didn't take long for me to fall for it. I noticed it's got an odd file system. All of these different folders. It's another reminder why Kontakt rules. So far I've messed with the Iceland library.
  8. When I see disable HT I find it hard to follow any advice from the author.
  9. Great price but I wonder about the quality at that price. I guess Arturia use to have a bad reputation for the quality of their controllers.
  10. It has is handy if you like to audition midi files without more clicks to open up a VST.
  11. The size of a library and the speed of a drive have a lot to do with it. There are some affordable USB SSDs out there.
  12. Which they should have done earlier.
  13. Well they have for HOOPUS upgrade. I still have HO Gold and the upgrade is $199. VSL is heading that way. I got the Sax collection for their old player and the upgrade to Synchron was cheap. The upgrade doesn't render the other license useless. This is another knock against Waves if you upgrade the other license s gone.
  14. I hate being jealous because someone pays less. Every industry is like that. I rarely pay the price of a new game release and I wait for the race down to the bottom.
  15. Developers have been doing that with Kontakt libraries like forever because they don't have to deal with Native Asshat. When KH Diamond went to their TVEC I didn't have to download the same 70GB,
  16. Sooner or later it had to happen with library developers in the race to the bottom. There is also less costs in involved with no mass producing discs and shipping. Maybe shiny and new isn't always working since the small number of heavy orchestra users. Oh look there's another new string library - like who cares? Not enough. I think these deals are only for the casual user who might want strings or brass once is a great while. I feel that way with Komplete but I can never seem to blow off upgrading. I'm thinking about this deal. The reality is I haven't even audition most of the stuff I bought since November. The drawback is I still prefer Kontakt libraries. VSL is the only proprietary player I prefer. Kontakt is "the man" like MS were people want to dethrone. I takes awhile for a player to mature. I remember Kontakt wasn't even considered in the same league as Gigastudio. I'm already annoyed at the numerous apps one has to install for a developer's distribution.
  17. NI can lower their prices all day. Outside of Komplete I rarely ever buy a NI library. It's mostly 3rd party. Part of it is no direct downloads and trust that Asshat (cr)app. It's fine when it works but with 3 machines it's rare I get 100% performance. Their NTKDeemon is often the problem when it wants to f'upgrade.
  18. Pass for me. (so far) Too much stuff which probably also means spending on more SSD space.
  19. Enshittification - when successful companies are bought and the stuffed shirts make it worse. I guess VMWare may be on that list. Izotope and NI are getting on my sheisse liste with Native Asshat and Product Poortal. Poor eco system but great software. Too many developers spend time updating their distribution proccess. I have to folder with a least 20 shortcuts just for downloading and upgrading software. It's great when it works but when it doesn't it's a hassle. Some people leave companies when they are bought because they smell the crap ahead of time. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/izotope.com At what point does one throw out the baby with the bath water? Hopefully the developers of certain products quit and start their own companies. Some companies are getting like sports owners of habitual losing teams. They look at profits but never winning. Hats off to developers where you can download directly.
  20. What was updated. I'm afraid to do any NI updates/
