Speaking of licenses, has anyone received their license key yet?

Have you tried the Steinberg Library Manager (below)? If you click on "Details" you can see where (and if) your libraries are installed.

You can do that via the Steinberg Download Assistant.

We're plagued by an embarrassment of riches!

- The size of the interface does not seem to have changed; so if you thought it was tiny before, you'll still think that now. - I can't comment on the registration hoop-jumping since I own Cubase and installing Halion Sonic 7 didn't require any additional registration. - As for the virtual dongle, the only thing that runs all the time is a 29 kbyte driver (on Windows).

The fact that you said you'd "probably" notice something was off after listening to the song so many times really underscores just how far this technology has come. Cheers!

I agree about the bass and guitar. As for the voice, would you realize that it was synthesized if you heard it out of the context of this post?

This cover sounds *really* good to my ears which has me wondering if I'm grading on a curve because I know it wasn't sung by a real human. What do you think?

I'd be glad to but what credentials would I use during checkout?

Thanks for posting, but I'd summarize SynthMaster 3 in one equation: SynthMaster 3 = Zeno's Paradox! Release Date

And apologies to the OP for going off-topic.

Have you encountered any issues with the E-cores / P-cores architecture? Specifically that slower E-cores could create a bottleneck and/or degrade core load balancing, or result in lower performance due to their lower thread count? And what about the 13900's lower total thread count vs that of the 7950x? I've read several posts about these types of issues and so am a bit hesitant to stay with Intel at this point.

This is what I'm planning to do as well but am not sure whether to stick with Intel (given their self‐inflicted woes) or switch to AMD (which is potentially risky since I know so little about their products and don't want to spend a lot of time, money, and effort to build a system and then have to deal with problems arising from them just recently having stolen the 'crown' from Intel). And this^ is my other concern given that my stopgap solution has been to use my laptop to run my DAW and, like you, I have constant, very distracting and annoying fan noise on hot days which caused me to work early in the mornings, late at nights, and to shift plugin-heavy projects to the winter months.

After upgrading to version 5 I thought I'd use Melodyne frequently but to date have used it only a few times. While it does a good job of correcting pitch, timing, and amplitude excursions, I find it's much faster and easier to use Cubase's native VariAudio and AudioWarp to fix the first two issues and plugins (compressors, limiters, and volume levelers) to correct the third. I also thought it might be useful to generate MIDI data from audio files, but the result required so much work that it was just easier to play the part into a VI and create the MIDI data that way. So, I'm curious as to what others are doing with Melodyne, and why they find it so useful.

For those who didn't get the reference (like me) ...

https://shift-line.com/skynet SkyNet Reverb is a VST3/AU plugin based on the SkyNet-1 and SkyNet-2 algorithms from the Astronaut space reverb pedal. SkyNet Reverb is geared towards massive soundscapes with long decay times. By blending the two SkyNet algorithms, you can sculpt atmospheric sounds which fit your music best.

Here's a demo cover of No One Like You by the Scorpions:

And unfortunately HQ mode cannot be switched off according to the info I found here.

Same here. The CPU load on most of their plugins has increased significantly over the last few years. And my usage of these plugins has decreased significantly as a result.
