Excellent use of credits received for guitar samples!

For Windows only source code is free (you have to compile it youself).

After updating IK Product Manager to 1.0.8 (23I28) I sudddenly lost 5 autorizations from EVERY product. Before it was "9 authorizations left" for AmpliTube 5, Miroslav Philharmonik 2, MODO BASS 2, MODO DRUM, etc... And now its just "4 authorizations left"! And it was "10 authorizations left" for MODO BASS - now its only "5 authorizations left". And it was "8 authorizations left" for AmpliTube 4, now its only "3 authorizations left". So... Maybe that "positive" was not so false? 🙂

Skinning is definetely a good thing, but only as long as it remains an option, not an duty. Developers should not shift their work onto the user's shoulders. Also, UI design is much more than just "looks". For example, MIDI editor has a menu when it's floating, but lose it when docked. It still can be called up with right mouse button click in specific area which looks just empty without any hints, but... IMO, that's a textbook example of bad UI designer's decision.

I have S1 Artist, and after dragging "AnalogEffectsCollection.install" to S1 window I get an error message saying Analog Effects Collection is incompatible with Studio One. I can see Analog Delay in my account as purchased item at my.presonus.com/products/all - but it not available in S1 Extensions window. Looks like it's VST only. Still, at this price... 🙂

Total uninstall/deactivate/reinstall/reactivate solved the problem 🙂

Every time I load any factory preset from one of the collections I got as a freebie from this 25GB into AT5.2 (like Brian May, Mesa Boogie etc), I got annoing noize every few seconds. Like that trial copy protection noize. But if I start from a default preset or from one of the presets from collections I actually bought (like Fender 2), it's OK, no noize. And if then I load gear from freebie collection into default preset, replacing default amp and cab with amps and cabs from freebie collection, it's OK, no noize. Looks like a serious bug.

So, actually it available for free for those who subscribed to newsletter AND bought something.

Oh. That's definitely "Oh"... Next time I should be more patient. Way more patient...

Totally useless feature in most real life situations IMHO. And cutting objects from photos is part of my everiday job 🙂 Affinity is great. There's still some imperfections and some really strange design decisions (like there IS Auto-levels as destructive filter, but NO Auto option in non-destructive Levels adjustment layer dialog). But in some aspects it's actually even better than PS.

Rebelle is really great natural media tool. But current version is Rebelle 4, and HB sells Rebelle 3. Most important difference is oils. Hmm...

I absolutely sure I subscribed, but now I found Product Emails was turned off in my profile somehow. Oh well. That's disappointing, but at least I didn't loose money when missing the free gift 🙂

So... I can get AmpliTube 5 SE and T-RackS 5 SE for about $35 if I buy Pro Tools subscription for just one month? Sounds like a good deal. Or too good, maybe? 🙂

So if I have Amplitube 4 + most collections and CS gear included in Amplitube 5 - it's better for me to buy A5SE than "upgrade" to A5 Full version? Because with A5 I'll get mostly the same as with A5SE, but for more money, right? Oh. Well. That's very interesting "upgade" conception.

Corel Draw 4, Aldus PageMaker 4, Adobe Photoshop 2.0... Sweet memories. There was a rule of thumb that even (4/6/8) versions of CDR was very unstable, and odd (3/5/7) versions was reliable 🙂 Eventually I abandoned Corel for Aldus/Altsys/Macromedia FreeHand, which was replaced by Adobe Illustator. Now I use Adobe at work and Affinity Suite for my personal projects.
