I’m only speculating. I had said “I’d say it checks during installation........“ i wasn’t asked for details of an earlier purchase or serial number. My reasoning is that I can’t imagine Steinberg allowing you to get away with an illegitimate upgrade if your entitlement wasn’t checked somehow. Even if only in the background during installation. I’d be interested in knowing, if anyone was able to install the upgrade without a previous version already installed.

No I didn’t. Just selected upgrade as my version. I’d say it checks during installation for a previous version.

Thanks to all of you. You guys have no idea how much your comments help me.

A actually I haven't paid for any of my medical treatment, tests or stays in hospital. Not even for my half dozen trips in an ambulance.

I can drive again. Pacemaker has made all the difference to life. I finally feel the benefits of my surgery, now 4 months ago. Yay.

I sure felt hot. So hot I couldn’t touch it! Ouch! Eeeeeew.

Hope you guys are all OK.

Thinking of you and your family in this difficult time. Glad that you can reach out to us here. I hope our collective thoughts can give you comfort and support.

Thanks guys. FYI. I can’t go slower than 60bpm. But as fast as I can.

After buying upgrade to K12UCE, I got an email saying to launch Native Access to get a bunch of freebie downloads.

After installation, Spectral Layers 6 (upgrade from V1-4) doesn’t ask for a serial number. I still had V4 installed so i can only assume it does a check for a legit previous installation for the upgrade.

Don’t forget that Cakewalk has been working with ARA since the standard was created. In fact they were involved with Celemony and Presonus during the initial development. Cubase hasn’t been involved with ARA that long and Spectral layers is only one of a very few ARA compatible plugins. as always you get more of Spectral Layers by opening up your audio directly in the standalone program.

If you have V1, 2, 3 or 4 then the upgrade to 6 at the Steinberg shop is for me (I have V4) in Australia only AUD$149 if you have the above and want to upgrade at Magix to V5 (their last version) then for me that would be AUD$249 + AUD$75 for the V5 to 6 upgrade from Steinberg. Guess which update I took. Fancy a Steinberg update being the cheaper option.

Magix are still selling V5.0 and upgrades from 4 to 5.

Haven’t been around much as recovery from my bypass op has taken much longer than anticipated. I had been fainting and the drs were unable to find out why until just last week. I had another fainting episode whilst being monitored. I’ve been having ventricular pauses that last for 4 or more seconds. On Monday I had a pacemaker implanted and i feel like a new man. Seems not only the plumbing (coronary arteries) was stuffed but the electrical system was stuffed as well. i feel like I haven’t felt in decades. Still limited by my back problems but i can finally move without gasping for air and feeling like my heart (even after the bypass) was going to bust out of my chest. Ahh. Feels good to feel good.

Get lots of ’roos at our place. Wifey and i had a good chuckle over this one.

You guys are really bad. But I likes it!

“Bring out your dead, bring out your dead.” Ooh. Sorry! Wrong show.

I started on an Amiga 2000 with Bars & Pipes as my sequencer, but work forced me to move to PC. I started with Cakewalk 7 then 8. I only dabbled with computer based music at that stage so that was enough till I found Sonar 3 Pro. Since then I’ve bought every upgrade through to Sonars demise and now on CbB since it’s release.

I started learning lap steel guitar when I was 8 years old. Had to walk about 3 miles to a scout hall where the classes were held. The class was contracted for 83 lessons over 3 years. In all that time I only learned Aloha Oe and the Bonanza theme. When I was 12 I started playing trombone in high school. And everything else I could get my hands on like sax, guitar acoustic and electric. Its all history.

Perhaps not spinning your head like that would stop your hair getting caught. Just sayin’

More DAWs than I literally know what to do with now, a legacy from when I was working and had them all for project compatibility and convenience. CbB, Cubase and Studio One are the only ones I update. CbB is the only one I was using regularly. Haven’t done any music for ages; been sick.

That’ll do thanks.
