I missed out, and would greatly appreciate it if it's still available! 

I'll DM you.

Every so often they have V8P sale...

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

It’s subscription or buying individual libraries.

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

Thank you Doug.  I just got a DM from @mibby who made the same offer.  I assume it should work with no problem.

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?

Too late for me. 😡

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.

Dang. Snoozed too long on Liberis.  Was thinking I had at least until the end of June.  

Way beyond my price point now for my use case.

Yes. Liberis at $39 was an incredible deal. Got me into the 8Dio V8P club 😁. Not that I am likely to buy anything there.

No, no obligation. 

Okay! So why not participate? I am going to sign my mother up, and my brother, and my dog, and my neighbour's cat. Shoot, I'll sign up my whole block.

You're loosing nothing getting into the group buy, there's no risk at all as you can edit your choice even after the GB end anyway. In fact you're loosing at least a chance when not participating.

You still have to buy one item though, right? The cheapest being TinyBox at $19. So even at 40% off that would be at most $11.40.

The more easily typeable Windows equivalent something like of /mnt/hdd0 and /mnt/hdd1 😜

Actually, while the above can occur for automounted USB drives, you can permanently mount a drive pretty much anywhere in the file system. At least you can in Linux. Not sure about Macs. With Macs, however, if the drive is labeled, then it will automatically mount under /Volumes/{label} where {label} is drive label. I never did much like Windows drive letters. It was still better then the VMS abomination if anyone still remembers and worked with that.

Thanks.  I think will be very useful to some on here if they run into problems with NA but as a Mac user, what is this abomination called “c:\” and “d:\” drives hehe

You can do it on a Mac as well with ln -s. On my Mac I have a Data drive which is mounted on /Volumes/Data. From the terminal I could create a link by doing something like the following:

ln -s "/Volume/Data/Native Instruments" "/Users/doug/Native Instruments"

Then anything that was dumped into  "/Users/doug/Native Instruments" would actually go into "/Volume/Data/Native Instruments"

You should talk to them. I have found AAS one of the most responsive developers. I had gotten a number of duplicate expansion packs via HumbleBundles, etc. and they were willing to trade some of the duplicates for ones I did not already have.

Nice!  The best custom offer I have is Chromaphone 3, Strum GS-2, Multiphonics CV-1, and String Studio VS-3 and Objeq Delay for $149 USD, but I have Objeq Delay already (2 licenses; don't need a third) and I am not interested in CV-1. 

Of course, without those last two items, I'd have to pay $247 USD!!  I suppose if I had the money to spend the $149 would be a deal.

I am surprised that AAS is offering you Objeq Delay if you already own it.

Well done. You’ll love ‘em. 

This completes my AAS collection as far as instruments go. Still don't have all the presets but I have more than enough to keep me busy.

As someone painfully familiar with Native Access, i predict there will be a lot of cursing once people realize NA requires crazy amount of free space on boot drive even though they set their download/install folders to an external ssd

Not for me. There are ways around this by setting up linked folders. 

Just picked up Chromaphone 3, Lounge Lizard EP-4, Multiphonics CV-1, and String Studio VS-3, all for 132 Canadian Loonies. That is $33 per synth including the new CV-1!

i can buy a whole lotta desktop for that price, but that eliminates the chance of ever using Logic or Alchemy2 .

Why do I all of a sudden have Zepplin running through my head right now?

Got mine half an hour ago too! There is singing and dancing in the streets, all over the world.

This year, they are doing a maximum discount of 60%. Last year, it topped out at 50%.

Summer 2021 Group Buy

We're excited to announce the Orange Tree Samples Summer 2021 Group Buy sale, your opportunity to get up to 60% OFF all our sample libraries and bundles!

You might want to change the link to https://www.orangetreesamples.com/group-buy. You link requires a person to be logged in to OTS.

Just listened to the promo for their Vocalator Pro plugin. For some reason, I become suspicious when marketers start throwing around phrases like "revolutionary" and "game changing", and "the future of vocal production is here". 

Just picked this up for $6. It looks like this plugin has some relation to MeldaProductions. My order information came from MeldaProductions, and the activation screen looked very Melda like. The settings for each of the plugins look like the Melda UI as well.

Curses UJAM and PB. How dare you give away something I paid good money for two months ago?

This is actually a fun little tool. I really have no qualms about paying $9 for it when it was released.
