    I got this from PC World - 80% off of a regular RETAIL not OEM version of Windows 10 Pro $39, instead of the $199 normal price...

    Thanks Robert for this.  I'm still on Win 7U on my main computer and don't want to go anywhere else, but I feel I won't be able to hold off 'progress' for ever.

    So I picked up this offer more as insurance for the future when I'll finally give in.

    I've alread upgraded my laptop to full Win10Pro (from U) recently, and still for free, to get used to Win10 but I don't use it much.  I don't like the feel of Win10 any more than I do my very recently acquired first smartphone (android) .  Feels like I'm opening myself up to a world of abuse and can't do anything about it.

    There was a drop down menu in my account with 2.02 (really 2.04) on display but click on the drop down and 2.05 is there. 

     

    My account gives 2.0.5 for Mac and still at 2.0.4 for Windows (which is what I need).   Drop down says 2.0.2, but I get 2.0.4.

    Can't get into the site now - presumably everybody else is trying to get in. I thought the same re Analogue Dreams being part of Komplete Play but I checked my installation and, unless I am mistaken, that only has a very cut down number of patches 

    For Komplete Start it says :

    PLAY SERIES SELECTION

    Streamlined versions of 3 intuitive yet powerful hybrid instruments – ANALOG DREAMS, ETHEREAL EARTH, and HYBRID KEYS.

    Not sure if that means anything or not.

    Trying to figure out more, but it's painful.  Download link just loops around getting nowhere.

    I believe Germany (and Europe ?)has intentionnally slowed the internet down to keep it alive during these troubled times.

    I don't know what a LoopCloud User is (I doubt that I'm one), but it took just a couple of clicks to get the plugin in my waves account.

    I already had this plugin, so now have two.

    Sure, you get it [Furia] for free with a purchase of $99 or more. Never tried it out, though. 

    Hey Fleer, thanks for this.  Would have never seen it as I don't believe the offer appears anywhere but right on the Furia page.

    I'd just spent more than that on Vocalisa and Allura and Taylor at ISW was very kind to honour the offer retroactively.

    Cheers.

    Aww... no Cuica included? Bummer! ☹️

    They're (2 of them) under bonus instruments.

    - Soprano Cuica 6’
    - Bass Cuica 10’

    Plus :

    - Berimbau 1 (Biriba Wood)
    - Berimbau 2 (Fiberglass)

    Seeing as this synth is just about never on sale, it's probably worth mentioning that it is now on sale till the end of the year.

    Not much of a reduction, and not enough for me to buy it though I'd like to :   79$ down from the usual 99$.

    And it's sold through Digital River who want me to pay tax, though just about nobody else does.

  8. I got in touch with Embertone support and received, within just a couple of minutes, my serial number for the binaural mics.

    Currently downloading - to a new drive with tons of room.

    Thanks Embertone.  I'm looking forward to getting to know the Concert D (and the other stuff I couldn't help getting).

    I added to the cart the LITE version, it shows in the cart 27 bucks, not 10 ;(

    It looks like the LITE is the only version that has gone back up, though still on sale apparently.

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to download the extra mic position.  I only received two confirmation emails for the purchase, but no download links or instructions and no mention of what to do in the manual.  For the main product there was a third email with links and serial number.

    I guess I'll have to contact support.

  10. Sale is still on for those who might be interested.  Sale price appears once in the cart.

    I just noticed that the extra mic positions for the Walker Concert D are 10.50$ each instead of 15$ once they're put in the cart.

    So I picked up the binaural position for playing with headphones.

    The Embertone website is pretty awkward and I could only get it to work properly with Chrome, which I never use. 

    Neither Firefox nor IE11 could get through to buying anything.

  11. I'm not impressed with the Continuata Connect utility program used by Embertone and others to handle their downloads.

    I had sufficient space on my drive for the Walker Concert D, but not twice the space.  Nowhere does Embertone mention this requirement though I've seen it before elsewhere.

    I started the download then went out.  The program successfully downloaded all the files but then ran out of room when it went on to install them.

    Now when it ran out of disk space, instead of saying something, anything, stopping, I don't know...  It just redownloaded the current file (which it had already successfully downloaded) then ran out of room again while installing.  So it downloaded again, and tried again...

    This went on all day and evening and I blew up my internet allotment of 150 gb/month.  Luckily there are only 2 days left in the month.

    So make sure you have double the space requirement.

  12. 1955 Walker Concert D   -   69$     

    Full but without the extra mic positions.

    36 velocity layers.

    I was hoping to get the Ravenscroft 275, but the sale wasn't low enough for me.

     

  13. So I updated Waves Central and when I went to install my newly acquired Waves Tune Real-Time the portal tells me that I'm running Windows 7 and that only Windows 10 is supported for Version 11.  I went ahead anyway and my new plugin works just fine, as I presume my others do as well.

    It depends on what is meant by "close it." If the application was closed using the X in the upper-right, this only closes the UI. The application still runs in the background.

    There should an icon in the notification area which, when clicked, will re-open the application.

    To shutdown BA either right-click on the icon in the notification area and select Quit from the context menu or click the gear in the upper-left of the application UI and click the Quit button on the settings screen. There is an option on the BA settings screen to prevent it from running on start up too.

     Ok.  Thanks Steve.  Not what my other portals do (XLN, iZotope, Waves, etc)  as I can close them with the X and reopen them at will by clicking on their desktop icon.

    And I didn't have BA icon showing in tray, didn't even know it was there.

    But this works.

     

  15. During the install process, the update tried to install this driver :

    "Intel(R) C600/X79 séries chipset Thermal Management Controller"

    When I refused :

    What is the link between the intel driver and ilok ?

    I can't find any.

    EDIT :  maybe has something to do with USB ports for the dongle (which I don't use) but that doesn't explain the "thermal management" bit.

    Windows flagged the driver as not having a valid certificate, which is the reason I initially refused.

    Not wanting to lose an afternoon, I reinstalled, accepted the driver installation, and everything seems fine.
