The Splice option looks interesting. I am not sure how often Bitwig goes on sale and how much the discount is but going the Splice route, you basically pay retail price and get 25 months of updates. Or am I missing something here? How much does it normally cost to extend your upgrade plan?

Already had RC V4, asked for and received Melodya and MIDI Mutator keys for free, plus links to a bunch of RC patterns etc. Thanks for the info!

Looks like SuperRack Performer only supports Waves plugins, so no AutoTune. However you can use Waves Tune Real-Time

Not sure why, but I got a free SuperRack Performer added to my account.

Element does not load 32 bit plugins in 64 bit environments so it cannot be used as a bridge Element is one of my most used tools. Great for when I want to quickly load and test a vst or vst chain. For VST2 plugins, you can just drop the DLL into the window to load it, no scanning of plugins necessary.

what?

I posted this in the Best Service thread but I thought it might be worth posting here as well... If you don't have EZKeys yet, Best Service has EZKeys Small Upright, or Cinematic grand (and others) for $136.98. With the $20 Promo Code: EGGY20, that would get you in for $116.98 and make you eligible for EZKeys 2.

I owned 4 of the 10 plugins in the MEssentialsFx bundle and my upgrade price was 28 Canuck Bucks. The upgrade included MTurboReverbLE so that alone put this in the total no brainer category.

Also since there is nothing you can use the voucher on for less than $39.99, this is the effective minimum. Though, I guess it could be used on two license transfers for $32.

But who is going to buy them?

Is this a download product or a boxed product that needs to be shipped?

You know something is really really bad about the software if it gets less than 5 stars on PB.

Yup, picked it up then.

Some conflicting info there. The text in the PC Builder box says 5 year limited warranty as does the SP website. https://www.silicon-power.com/web/ba/product-UD90 I think the 1 year warranty is New Egg's standard warranty that does not take into account third party warranties.

You need Tantra for the complete set.

Umm, Thorn from PA is not Apple Silicon, but Dmitry has updated Thorn for Silicon. You can download it fromm his site. https://dmitrysches.com/thorn-changelog Thorn for Apple Silicon was available in September 2021.

My age touchstone was being a teen when American Graffiti came out and thinking how funny and strange the music and the styles were back then. Then along came That 70s Show and I realized kids probably thought the same about the styles and music of my teen years. However, maybe it is just me but I don't think DSotM sounds as dated as say Bill Haley and His Comets.

Good point. Not my brother then.

I don't have an M1 machine so I can't verify this but this announcement from PA, https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/news/article/items/m-1-apple-silicon.html, seems to indicate that a good block of PA plugins do support M1 natively. If all PA is saying is that their plugins work fine under Rosetta then that would be serious misinformation. But it does not appear to me that this is the case. I would be interested to know what percentage of PA plugins are in fact currently M1 native.

My brother is my peer. If I explain sealioning to him and he in fact verifies that I have the correct definition, is that sufficient peer reviewed evidence that I have learned what the term means?

Sealioning, I have learned a new term! Just to be clear, I was not intending to sealion. Maybe it came across that way. I was not looking to shut down dialog nor to silence discontent of PA. Like Jesse G and LAGinz, I was interested in why people were so down on PA and Dirk in particular. Souterrain's comment did nothing to enlighten me. Your subsequent comments were more helpful. It allows me to form a more informed opinion and to determine whether what you describe is important to me.

@Marina Why the thumbs down? I was sincerely curious.

And how is that, exactly?
