Is the M1MacBookAir's SSD replaceable?

Seagate tools is a great as well, and not just for Seagate drives.

Not so sure this is necessarily a "modern age" phenomena. Some early electronic "music" sounded pretty horrendous too. Of course, you could consider that modern age as well I guess. Sort of reminds me of the folk purists who squawked at Dylan when he brought electric guitars to the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Or my parents commenting "You call that music?" upon hearing what I was listening to.

Yes. Safe travels. Hope all goes well in Kentucky.

I was thinking Edith.

This is another developer I would avoid. He released an effects plugin called Vybz in February that saw some traction. However a show stopping bug was found that the developer said he had fixed and would release a new version within the week but the version has yet to see the light of day. The developer has not been heard from since the end of March, except to run a bunch of bargain basement sales.

Now I challenge you to used them all on one project. They have some really good ones and some unique ones too. I still haven't got my head around knifonium to make a sound that doesn't sound like a cat horking up a hairball. Needless to say that was not what I was going for. And Byome and Triad are beasts. Nothing quite like them.

Loading times are completely irrelevant to whether it is an M1 or Intel or AMD. It is an indication of the speed of the SSD. SSD speeds have come a long way since 2016 and even since 2018.

And this year's voucher is...drum roll please...MEGA-SALE-20OFF

Currently out of stock though. But Windows 11 won't be released in the next 2 to 4 weeks will it?

Last year, they sent out a $20 voucher during the Mega sale. It was MEGA-SALE-20-OFF.

If you can find one. After the Windows 11 announcement, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a run on TPM modules.

Correct. So if you use the firmware TPM, and upgrade your processor, make sure you unencrypt any encrypted drives before replacing it. Also note that when you encrypt a drive using bitlocker you should store the recovery key in a location other than your computer for example, on a USB drive, or a physical printout.

I also have an ASUS TUF X570-Plus. My processor is an 3700x. I just needed to turn on fTPM (firmware TPM as opposed to discrete TPM) in the bios to get TPM 2.0 support. I believe all Ryzen CPUs have TPM built in.

That is pretty impressive for sure. One thing you might want to look at though is the difference between loading nine instances of the same instrument and loading nine different instruments. That is what a real world scenario would look like. There may be sample sharing between the Kontakt instances. I would also be interested to see how it performs with CPU heavy vsts such as anything from Acustica, Diversion with full unison, or Fathom.

I could do with a Rumbo, right about now.

Rhomboid?

I'll DM you.

Roomba?

752...we are more than halfway there to 60%.

But because you are sworn to secrecy, you can't post it, right?

Ya, I saw that. I wonder if you can use the purchased libraries offline or if the company goes out of business?

Glad to hear it. So that means I have an extra license to give away. Anyone else want it who missed out on the freebie?

I picked up an extra license just for the fun of it. You can have it if you want. It is unregistered.

Cloud-based and subscription? No thanks.
