  1. If you can download the programs with your slow internet connection, yes, it should work to download the libraries elsewhere and just "relocate them" rather than have NA redownload them.  

    If your internet is too slow to download the programs, then I wouldn't bother.  If that makes sense?

  2. Hmm.  Saturn 2 is about $69 for me.  I have all the basics and don't see a need for the rest, except maybe Saturn.  Have to think about it. 

    Edit: Price doesn't seem to change no matter how much I would buy.  It is very strange. 

  3. I changed computers.  I did download the programs through NA (Kontakt, Massive, etc....) But then just moved my NI drive to my new computer.  You can point the way to the files. It takes longer because you have to do each one separately.  But you don't need to redownload it all. And?  you can have NA on a non-DAW computer, download it all onto that and then move it to your DAW computer and re-link.  It doesn't work for the programs but will work for libraries and packs.

    I do have a fast internet but I regularly download onto my purchasing computer (I don't like to go on the internet on my DAW computer except when really necessary, so I download a lot onto my other computer.)

    I do.  I can’t say it’s wide ranging in capabilities like Scaler 2, but it’s another tool and I do use it (unlike some tools I grab but sadly never use).  Used it this week once again with good results in a new song.

    Thanks.  It looks a little easier than dealing with Scaler.  And it works in ProTools - as does Scaler.  Most midi tools don't work in ProTools, though there are more and more that do.

    They have the worst re-sell/ transfer policy I think I've ever heard of.  G. said they're working on a new policy though.

    At one time they didn't even allow license transfers. Again I refer to it as the AA Drama...

    I'm talking in general here.  I have virtual instrument libraries that cost hundreds of dollars that can't be resold.  Don't blame the companies in some ways.  If I were professional and selling music made from a library, I shouldn't be able to sell that library as long as I am receiving royalty checks on music made with it, if that makes sense. 

    Most of the effects libraries seem to be resellable.

    Instead of mastering how to use what we have we are buying next ones...

     

    This.  I am getting to the point I think  "No more!"  "I have enough!"  

     

    But then there is this cool new thing....And it is on sale!  (my favorite four-letter word!)

    I finally opened up an old project (copied) and just started playing with new plugins on it to see how I liked them and could use them.  I can't seem to finish anything lately to the point it is playable.  And the constant sales don't help.  Four years ago, there were BF, Xmas, maybe a spring sale, Beginning of Summer sale and back to school sales.  Now it is every week.  I'm getting burned out.  Or feeling withdrawal when there isn't a sale.....

    And if I am not wrong they are counting spent money in relation to catalog price not discounted one (at least I hope so otherwise I spent too much in their shop ;)

    This.  My latest says I've spent 1000 to 1500 euros for 35% off.  And?  Maybe I have spent that much. 

     

    Yes, I just counted.  I have 20 paid products plus N4 - all were purchased on sale, many at 70% off but they were all between 40 and 60 euros each with all the discounts.  I am liking their stuff though. 

    Then again, I do spend way too much on computer music related stuff.

    BTW I think they're planning an upcoming sale using either previous flash or personal codes.  I'd hang on to your personal codes even if they're expired or not used.

    Thanks!  I get the personal code emails, but I don't always see the other ones.  It is strange. 

  9. Okay my email said July 10th.  But I just realized the code above is different and it did work.   The code I had didn't.  Strange they would do that.  

    Okay just went back to look again.  The one I had was for Magenta.  The Scarlett only just showed up.  My email is annoying at times.  I think it's something to do with how gmail separates stuff, because it's not in my junk either.   Okay, Nevermind.  Just a rant about my email accounts.   :)

  10. I got my code and I'm getting an error message when I input it.  I even typed out all 30 characters.  I guess I need to email Beat back and see if they can give me a new code or something. 

    Edit - maybe I have it already?  I'm seeing it in my downloads.

    I have been faffing about wondering if I should update Cubase fro 9.5 to 10.5 on the current deal (or possibly 11 if delaying the activation works the way people say it does).  I tried Studio One at the time of the Gibson debacle but did not care for it, particularly the MIDI functions (I use MIDI the most). I am sure its come on leaps and bounds since then.

    I seldom use Cubase and much of it remains a mystery and I have kept using Cakewalk  almost exclusively but I have the feeling I should learn another DAW in case there is a Bandlab debacle in the future, now I am wondering if I should look at Studio One again before deciding on a Cubase upgrade.

    Coming from Cakewalk, I find Studio One easier to use.  That said, I still use ProTools the most and Cubase second (only because of the chord track - I love the chord track)  But I can sit down with Studio One and write something faster than with Cubase.  I really need to figure out how to get the Studio One version of chord track to work - as in watching the videos at the same time I am at the computer.  It isn't as good as Cubase, but doing midi in Studio One is easier for me than Cubase, if that makes sense.
