In the past, I've gotten the license keys immediately (within several minutes).  This is the first time I've had to wait, and I'm still waiting.

 

I am still waiting for my license as well. I ordered two days ago,

Add it to the cart.  It should automatically apply a discount code.  Try "group" to bring it down to $29.40.  OP should probably mention this.

As ALC said, when you add it to the cart a coupon is called groupbuyauto is automatically applied to bring the price down to $29.75. However, if you explicit enter the coupon code "GROUP", it brings the price down to $29.40. It is strange that groupbuyauto is not the same as entering the "GROUP" coupon code.

You know what, I will give Iris another go when I have time. If it's so praised here, maybe I overlooked something.

Hey man, why the thumbs down? What part of my comment did you have trouble with? I truly was interested in what you did not like about Iris 2, because yours was one of the few descenting opinions and it is always good to get different perspectives even if one does not agree with them.

Can you explain how to or provide a link for this other way

There is an app called shell2vst that is supposed to do this. Not sure if it still works. Here is a link with instructions:

Ain't doin nutn but providing an honest feedback according to my experience with it. That's why we're sharing deals on a message board.

It would be more helpful if you told us why you feel this way. It is hard to tell if you are just being an ***** or actually have something constructive to share. If you have had a bad experience with it, it would be useful to know what it was you hated about it. Just saying it is a waste of space is meaningless without context.

Assuming you already have Unify, does this do anything that Unify can't do?

I don't think Unify can do the frequency splits. There was a feature request for this two years ago with a possible workaround.

This is why I disable Windows defender and use a third party solution instead (Malwarebytes Premium)

My PC stay on , and connected to the internet 24/7 (been that way for decades with a reboot ever now and then) - no issues so far.

This has beem my experience with Windows Defender ever since Windows 10 came out. Never had an issue. Can't say that with AVG or McCafee or Nortons whenever I tried them,.

I can't really think of any that are as light as WD. That said, in the last AV comparison I looked at (which admittedly was a while ago), there weren't that many that performed worse.

Don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing. Just that there are better alternatives; they might just be heavier. It might be better to look at more up-to-date info:

https://uk.pcmag.com/antivirus/8141/the-best-antivirus-protection

I use AVG on some of my company computers. Every time I ran a new program, it flagged it as suspicious and would not let me run it until it had uploaded some sort of signature to its website. Terrible behaviour IMHO.

Can't see what is unique about BioTek. It's several normie synths stacked together.

So what normie synth do you think are included in BioTek 2?

Still not locked. So IBTL too.

If you can, I'd recommend using a third-party AV instead of the built in one. The built in one is fast, but it's usually one of the most unreliable in AV comparisons.

I can't stand third party AVs. I have had more problems with them than I ever had with Windows Defender. So much bloatware and so intrusive. Can  you recommend a third party AV that does not block your every move and is a light as WD?

No upgrade pricing from any version of their DAW so F'em.

Huh? Try here: https://marketplace.tracktion.com/waveform-pro-upgrades.html

Don't forget to use the LABOR2022 discount code.

Or get it from JRR here: https://www.jrrshop.com/tracktion-waveform-pro-12-pro-upgrade-from-waveform-pro-11

With the GROUP code, it is $49.90 aka ~50% off.

Or by any version, do you mean < 11?

Audiofier (https://www.audiofier.co.uk/catalogue/) is another great developer. Love pretty much everything they have put out.

Well back on topic, Mixcraft suffers from the same limitation as Cakewalk, as it's not cross platform. Windows only!

Plus it's not completely free!

I thought the topic was traction waveform :).

That is your opinion! 😉 There are also a couple of things in Reaper you cannot do in SO, 2nd there is quite a price difference and last but not least SO cannot match Reaper's startup/plugin scan performance. Also installation and authorization is quite painful compared to Reaper! Do you need more arguments? 😄

DAW Wars, Episode IV.

Still haven't upgrade to Waveform 12 Pro. I wonder if there will be a sale on upgrades in the near future.

I thought they would have gotten original and called it

ANY-2999-FINAL

I thought for sure it would be ANY-2999-FOOLEDYASUCKAS.

And why isn't the moon made of green cheese? I was so disappointed when Armstrong stepped off the lunar lander and didn't sink up to his knees.

Thanks for the heads-up - that's quite some negative feedback though!

It was rather harsh wasn't it. However, I still stand by my words. Muze is well known for its sloppy sampling and bloat. 75 GB for mediocre instruments is just not worth the hard disk space when there are far better instruments out there.

I am also a member of Stu's facebook group and  it is a great resource as are the reddit lists and even KVR's Bargain Center, but I much prefer the format and the community of this forum. I like that each deal gets its own topic . It makes it much easier for me to skip the discussion of deals for which I have no interest. The community here,  on the whole, is much more civil and the ratio of "this software sucks" comments to actual useful information is far higher. And even though Larry post occasionally to KVR and th FB deals group, none of them have the Larry we know and love.

Just to be clear, this bundle doesn't include the Veevums I want the most:  Veevum Human and Veevum Sync Guitarscapes.

As they usually sell them in threes, maybe they will be available with one more Joy de Veev added.

Actually Veevum Beat is volume 10, Veevum Human is volume 11, and Veevum Sync Guitarscapes is volume 12, so there are already three they could bundle.

I too love this series, and pretty much everything from Audiofier.
