Is there an English version of the current issue available?

I just got this. It is actually for Reason 11 Lite which includes Reason Racks Lite.

Wow. Absolutely wow! I have wanting this ever since it was released with Reason 11.

Any idea that, if there is no deadline on activation, then what might this be referring to:

Extended Download Option: $3.95

More info24/7 secure access to your store order, always find the latest version of your software, plus all updates, for 2 years from purchase and the ONLY way to access your order from the store post-order

Has anybody availed this till now?

Actually, this extended download option is a bit of a joke. All this gives you is the ability, for an extended period of time, to download the Microsoft Media Creator from the PCWorld store. The joke is that the Microsoft Media Creator is available any time from Microsoft, and does not even contain the final media you need to install Windows 10. Microsoft Media Creator downloads Windows 10 from Microsoft and either creates an ISO that can be burnt to a DVD or a bootable USB flash drive that can be used to install Windows. In this case, the extended download option is a waste of $3.95. I suspect that this option is available for all their software purchases. In some cases, it makes senses. In this case, it does not.

Just picked up Motion, Orchestra Dust, FourTune, and The Grid Machine Drums. Good stuff. It reminds me a bit of HGSounds and Rigid Audio Kontakt instruments. Very fun to play with. I may pick up a couple more.

Ovox is great!

Um, no 

No to pretty women or no to vst-club?

Glad I saved a fellow person a few bucks.

Wish this really was our 5 dollar bill.

Live long and prosper.

Here in Sweden it shows a price of 599 crowns. That is about $64, too much for me now!

Try changing the currency to USD. It was 69 CAD for me, but when I first bought Pro, I changed the currency to USD and let PayPal do the exchange rate. It ended up being, 56 CAD for me.

Thanks, so if you download the files is the licence attached to that? I'm mostly wondering if I can buy now but still use my code later on when I build a new computer.

The license is not attached to anything. You do not need to download anything right now. In fact what you are downloading now is the Microsoft Media Creator which is used to download the current version of Windows 10. You can do that any time. Squirrel your license away and use it when you need to activate Windows 10 at a later date.

Here is something interesting. I opted to purchase Win 10 Home (after buying a copy of Pro) from PCWorld.  When I pressed By Now, it offered to sell me Pro for $34.99 rather than $39.99. I wish now that I had not purchased Pro already.

Hmm, I do not see these in my account. Does anyone know if some of the Sound Collective offers are region specific? I never saw the ROLI offer, either...

Do you have Novation hardware or Focusrite?

Only 73% of in Canada. $69 CAD.👹

I still have my $10 code so code by this for $49.99....should I be so inclined

I had forgotten I had a $10 code. It worked to purchase this. Thanks!

I think he did that on purpose. Click bait and all. It worked on me, just to see the responses.

Actually, Tassman 4 can still be purchased here: https://www.applied-acoustics.com/cart/add/2246/(note direct link to a cart with Tassman in  it). It is being sold as is for $99. So I guess the above deal is not so bad, considering it includes Tassman and 4 other older synths.

Note that this is for really old software. String Studio is now at VS-3, Lounge Lizard is at EP-4, Strum Acoustic is at GS-2, and, Ultra Analog is at VA-3. So the software in this bundle is at least one version, if not 2 versions behind the current version. Might be useful for an upgrade path or something.

Maybe I have tunnel vision but I could not see any VST/AU at the links you gave us, only Kontakt instruments.

Totally get that.  And I may own Waves Element.  Is it in Mercury?  Not everything is, but there isn't much that isn't. 

I have bought the German version before just for the freebie, so it is nice to be able to read this. 

I am trying to download the DVD portion of the magazine from here http://www.bit.ly/BeatDL174. It is asking for the second word of the big headline on page 64. The English version has Psytrance but I suspect that the German edition of the word is required. Can you give the me  the second word of the big headline on page 64 of your German magazine?

Nevermind. The third word actually worked.

This is great. Comes with a free copy of Waves Element 2. I was just about to buy the magazine when I saw this. Thanks!

Looks like the current samples are all approximately 9.32 seconds long, PCM S24 LE, Stereo, 48000 Hz, 32 bits per sample. Looks like 103 BPM is pretty standard and 4 bars per file. 

I really like Rigid Audio stuff. The instruments are usually fun to play with; some more inspired than others. I always ignore the high list price. But definitely worth it at this price. I have all of his stuff. Don't think I have paid much more than $6 for any one instrument. I know some people have been burned in the past when he was doing high priced preorders and then selling at bargain basement prices a couple of months after release. But he is not doing that now and even offering a 14 day money back guarentee if not satisfied. Hard to lose much at this price.

Purchased. When I used the Buy Now (not PayPal), it was $4.20. And I was still able to use PayPal to pay. I didn't even use the coupon code (though it looks like I still could have). I almost feel guilty for paying so little.

Actually, the oneshots are there in the World Pack Instruments.

I have the Celtic Kontakt library from Zero-G and it seems most of the samples from that are in this sample pack. All that seems to be missing are a bunch of one shots. And the Kontakt instrument files of course. Also note that the expanded pack takes up over 10 GB because the acidized loops are "duplicated" in the garageband loops.
