Kamikaze

Had a little a virtual  cash on my account I didn't know about. Then after the purchase, I found in my account a couple of plug ins I had bought but not installed. My old music laptop was falling apart. so I slowly setting up everything on a new desktop.

The latest Blender short is stacks of fun. 

Thanks for the advice guys.  They replied bac saying I can have two machines, and I don't need to de-authorise. But it didn't really answer my question. I've asked what will happen should I get a new laptop for the second license and the first on my new desktop. How does Access know I am not using the old laptop. 

I'm wondering if when I select a new machine, will Access prompt to deactivate one of the other 2 machines. As XLN website does when activating a second machine when 2 are already activated. 

Personally I was hoping they'd make it do 10 to 20 band envelope following and rebrand it Volcoder

Depends on each developer, some allows it, some don’t 

I've messaged Sample Modelling, it's not clear on their site. One of the contact links wasn't working, but I found another.

Oh yes the Microfreak is a tough one. I was lucky to find a retailer who just got a small batch and I ordered the last one. Just keep scanning retailers and perhaps you get lucky. 

Kicked myself when I found out about them, as it after a delivery of modal synths and things, when that white version was available. 

As does the stock. I'm slightly worried the Microfreak will go out of a stock (as it has been for most of the year), but the new Hydrasynth Explorer is 4-5 weeks awayfrom coming in. I'm also trying to return a fault Skulpt, but I can't find a shipper. So that should put a credit note o hopefully in time for the Hydrasynth. But if either go on offer, I place the order and have to let the credit note sit there. 

Edit: Thomann

If only Thomann would match these sales at this side of the water

Yeah, I have a basket sitting with Thomann, that I'm waiting to submit just after Black Friday, in case they put a special on something like the Microfreak. 

If anyone knows about de-authorising Native Instruments, please can you jump on this thread and let me know.

Does anyone know how to de-authorize native instrument sample packs. I'm mainly bothered about my Sample Modelling Brass Library, but I have some smaller ones too. I treid searches but get  contradictory replies and suggestions that don't work. 

I tried moving the libraries, but Native Access just offers a 'Repair' or 'Relocate' option, not an uninstall as one user suggested. 

They are on a laptop I am shutting down, so I just want peace of mind I don't lose the Licenses on the way. 

MY understanding and I could be wrong here is that Samplemodelling is using very small samples that are combined to make a single sound when performed, whereas Audiomodelling is more  Virtual Modelling.

I've recently purchased and then upgraded the Woodwinds Bundle, and I'm very happy with it so far. The company has offered me an upgrade to the All=in (everything) to add strings and horns for only $750. if I could find a coupon to add to it, it's gonna be done. Or maybe even without, still a good price for their stuff, which I wanted for years but it was so expensive I just couldn't pull the trigger. 

I only have the cello, which I picked up after the Samplemodelling/Audiomodelling split up. I have the samplemodelling full brass. I've been away from comuter based music for a couple of years and just recently discovered Audiomodelling now have a full brass too. I love my brass, and it was big investment for me, but  out of intrigue I searched for an Audiomoedlling vs Samplemodelly Brass head to head. I thought it would closer and worried a little I'd be seeking the Audiomodelling brass next. But I didn't, it seemed really clear that Samplemodelling sounded better. I'm not knocking Audiomodelling concept, I want to add Viola, and their Clarinets, but I'm glad I have Sample Modelling's brass instead. 

Not sure Berzerk is the right name for it, but it's definitely a few sandwiches short of a lunchbox.

If getting "SHIMMER SHAKE STRIKE & EXPANSION $47.98", should one also get "FRUIT SHAKE"?

Just installed, so if you are still wondering, Shimmer Shake Strike only has 2 fruits, Banana and Apple. Fruit shake has Banana, Orange, Carrot and Lemon

Still the same

63.7 uncompressed

159USD get you the Softube 84 Juno Synth. 

SHIMMER SHAKE STRIKE & EXPANSION $47.98 seems a fair price. 

I've got all of XLNs percussion plus Native Instruments Cuba collection. There is a little overlap but this seems to compliment them well. 

Figured it out. I had to re-sync Waves central on my Desktop to see that the plugin license was now on the cloud. If I didn't it was flagged as recover, for which there is one a year, but after it's flagged as Activate. 

Even the  Version 10 installer checks for updates, doesn't realize itself is out of date, ad doesn't have a check for updates build into it. Now installed Version the latest version of Central on my laptop.

.

Yeah I have 19 manufacturers  and I am working through them methodically with notes. So far the only manufacture I haven't successfully installed and authorized is Waves. All the other were pretty easy, but this one has me baffled.  I have 10 manufacturers deauthorized, so I'm working on that now. 

I'll update Waves on the laptop, but I still don't know what I am trying to do. I just want it all on my new desktop. I think before I touch the remaining (and most important of the 5) on the laptop I get sibilance activated.  What exactly am I meat to be doing?

I've just built my first PC and am transferring all my out of laptop. Mostly going well, but the Waves installer is doing my head in and the one opportunity a year warning is making me anxious. 

I had 4 plug ins activated on my laptop, and one not in use (H-Comp). 

Installed Waves on my my Desktop, and had the H-Comp activated in C drive (The others say Windows, but I assum that;s because they are on the laptops C drive and it runs windows). 

So I did a test with Sibilance, as I've never used it, and it ended up on a license cloud, not the desktop. 

How do the other 3, and get the Sibilence off the cloude and on to the desktop

Yey! I did it. just installed Windows, so now time to set it all up.

10900K

16GB

1TB SSD

Feeling good.

On of the RGB fans isn't lighting up, so I'll have to take it in to the shop to find the error, but I just the RGB because they were cheaper and more available. You can't see them anyway, as the glass wall faces a wall, and the top vent has a raised coved fo my cats to sit on and not clod up the vent with hair, or use as a scraping post. .  

Thanks for you input Jack, helped get my straight from the outset. I also go a Gold+ 850W PSU, so should I get a graphics card in the future I've got some headroom. No interest in games, but Blender and Video editing could be really helpful making classroom resources. 

So glad I didn't go for an off the shelf. 

Price wise, now I have costed out a build it's cheaper to build, for an equivalent machine, and just a little extra gets you a stack more. When you look at the higher end desktops here, they seems to be targeted at gamers, and there is a big jump, due to graphics cards.

I placed my order with Phuong Vu a local branch I like as part of a bigger chain mostly based in HCMC, But they are the epicentre of the Covid 4th wave here, and so many of the parts are at stores that can't accessed. So I replaced the order with HanoiComputer, and Hanoi is is much better state, but supply chains are slow at the moment and the parts advertised weren't all stocked. We are receiving deliveries in Da Nang, but it's restricted and HanoiComputer doesn't trust it.

Covid numbers are relatively low here, but the government is diligent. Number are about the sam as Hanoi, but Hanoi is 8 times a bigger city. So Hopefully Hanoi will fully open soon, and delivery restrictions will here in a couple of weeks. 

Just have to sit tight. 

Amendments to my specs so far is now as 650W PSU, an Airflow version of the same case 4000D, a second fan (Which will be RGB simply because they are easier and cheaper to get her, same with the CPU fan, I just don't need to turn it on)  

Looking forward to a 24" screen, going from a  17" laptop. Got my first reading glasses about 2 months ago 

I'm thinking of using one of my SSDs for my work laptop, instead. hen put an M.2 drive in. I will still have another SSD 1TB add to the build.

Worth going down that road ?

EDIT: I've also found a better case, similar but better and no RGB to remove.

Corsaire Airflow 4000D. 

Reviews seem very promising and often mention it's ease to build with. 

Thanks for your input, been a bit of a journey.

After watching an MSI build video, it suggested going to PC Parts Picker to calc the watts. It came out at 226Watts, so I though more than double the headroom. I guess video card could add a bit, but I doubt I'd seek anything glorious.

Yeah, I've no interest in the RGB, but it was cheaper with than without. for the same model. I guess there is far more demand for the model here. The Vietnamese love their tacky flashy lights.   

We have o deliveries at the moment, so online services can only take orders. Hopefully being lifted at the end of next week. I can then go into the branch.
