    I think that you can enter n each product page and download their respective installer and run. Honestly, the Installation Manager is very convenient.

    I agree. Why do you want to avoid Installation Manager? It is about the easiest plugin installation manager around.

    Same issue here. I liked some of the patches I heard, but it's really not worth the hassle. So much for their inflated claims that this is worth $500. If this weren't free, I couldn't imagine it would be worth more than $5 or $10 USD.  The content is far too limited. But the constant crashing is a deal breaker. It crashed around a dozen times on me so far. No thanks. 

    It not only crashes DAWs, the standalone crashes as well. Glad I did waste a lot of time or money on this one.

    Take a look at the Fathom folder in your Documents folder. It creates secondary folders instead of updating the existing ones, with mostly duplicate content. I have to check each of the "xxxxxx 2" folders content sorted by date to see if there's anything new or updated. This time, there was, so I copied over the additional content folders from "Programs" to "Programs 2", then deleted all of the "xxxxx" folders, and renamed the "xxxx 2" folders to "xxxx". I suspect that if I don't do that, the next update will install "xxxx 3" folders. What an f'ing mess.

    I actually don't bother with the installer. I just copy the files to the appropriate folders.

    IK Amplitube 5 Updated to 5.4.0

    Not sure what you mean. I clicked on the ToneNET link in the v5.4.0 update, which opened a Chrome window and took me to a page where I created a ToneNET alias for my IKM account. Back in AT5, all I get is the 103 error. When I click on the globe icon to the right of the big ToneNET button, I'm taken to an IKM ToneNET web page that shows me logged in with the alias I created. The initial wizard you refer to is no longer available in AT5, so I'm stuck.

    I was having the same problem. When I clicked on the globe, it took me to my tonenet account and I could see all 849 presets in the web browser, but Amp5 still gave me a 103 error. So I fired up the product manager and reauthorized Amp5. Then when I loaded Amp5 and clicked in tonenet, it finally connected and downloaded the preset list. Not sure if reauthorizing was what fixed the problem but it is worth a try.

    As seen from the comments above, this is not for everyone.  I actually love it - great concept, good execution.  Clearly, one has had the ability to preview midi files on a computer since when - 1987?  This implementation, however, is so much more than that.  This is a great companion to a sample manager, and also includes other utilities.

    I like it too. Like @Spice3d I like that you can see the MIDI notes and preview right in the program.

    However, I'd attribute my reluctance more to the mythical memetic status of HL3 than anything else. After all the waiting and speculation (and the implicit hype and jokes), my intuition is that it's nigh impossible for Valve to release a HL3 and simultaneously avoid both humiliating themselves publicly and losing a significant amount of money (i.e. pick one).

    This. It is also a meme or an axiom that Valve can't do a 3 version of anything. There is Portal 1 and 2, Team Fortress 1 and 2, Dota 1 and 2, Left for Dead 1 and 2, even HL2 episodes 1 and 2. You will not find a 3 version in any of Valves line ups.

    People like to nickname it HL3.   Meanwhile Valve is doing other things.  For me the Steam platform is getting less favor when buying games.  Ubisoft and EA have far better support.  I seem to have bought more games from Epic.

    Not people in my circles. In fact, most people have gone out of their way to say Alyx is not HL3. Probably to perptuate the idea that Valve can't do a 3 of anything, and to keep the "HL3 confirmed" meme going. Why would you want to take away that fun?

    There is but it is not called that.  It is only available for those VR headsets or whatever they called them and only on Steam.

    You are talking about Half Life Alyx. Half Life Alyx events take place between HL1 and HL2. So not HL3.

    Spectrasonics Omnisphere question

    I see a big swing for this program. Generally at places like Sweetwater and Musicians Friend the price is in the 479.00 range.

    Some vendors though have it for a lot less like this one.

    Am I missing something? Since the vendors are not as well known I question some of it. Do you know of any better known vendors who offer this product at this price?...and why is it so much less at this vendor? Thanks.

    Definitely a pirate site. The first clue? 

    NOTE : THIS IS A PRE-ACTIVATED VERSION (THE PRODUCT KEY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO THE SOFTWARE DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS)

    In other words, you will not need to authorize the software with Spectrasonics. There is no way this is legit.
