  1. Bought two from royalcdkeys without any issues. Quick delivery and cheap.
  2. The licenses are tied to your user account. As long as you log out of your account before changing your motherboard, you should be alright. I once had an issue long ago and contacted Microsoft. They just asked for some information on the hardware changes and were able to re-authorize my system. By the way, I have bought a number of keys from royalcdkeys website over the years for my systems for both MS Windows and MS Office for a few dollars each, and never had any issues with authorizing them. They sent me the keys immediately upon purchase. They also have a somewhat helpful faq about these keys.
  3. FL Studio will still have free lifetime updates. The FL Cloud is a separate integrated service and will still have free sounds even without a subscription. It's no different than Loopcloud or other services. You don't have to to use it if you don't want to. People who make the loops still need to get paid. I think what they have done is very fair as I have never had to pay for an update in the five plus years I have owned FL Studio (even though I mainly use Cubase).
  4. Just announced. Upgrades available. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/guitar/guitar-rig-7-pro/
  5. I bought the $5.99 Win 10 Pro key from this site for both my computers. After a few updates my systems needed, they both automatically updated to Win 11 Pro. They have a link if doing a fresh install of Win 10 Pro. This site was posted in the deals here a few months ago and still have the discounted pricing. No issues with my purchases and received the keys immediately. https://www.electronicfirst.com/software/
  6. Yep, I pointed this out to the them a couple of times in forums and they said the samples couldn't be de-noised without destroying the airiness which is bs. I de-noised a couple of samples myself with great results using Izotope RX. Then later they said they were working on fixing it. That was well over a year ago. I won't buy from them again at this point based on this experience.
  7. This is only for the standard version which only includes the condenser mic for the close mic. I have a demo copy of this piano and this is easily the worst close mic I have ever heard from VSL - thin, distant, and almost no stereo image. The ribbon mic has more bass and a better stereo image, but is muddy. Only the tube mic is half way decent with a bit less bass, but good clarity and stereo image; however, this mic and the ribbon only come with the full version which is a lot more money. Pretty sure people will be disappointed if you buy only the standard version. This library is a pass for me. Hopefully the next one will be better.
  8. I have a similar setup and end up going with a CoolerMaster ML240L ($79 at Amazon/BHPhoto). I like the low profile and should give temps a few degrees better than a cpu fan. I get low to mid 60s under full load running a maxed out template. Only negatives are the water lines are short and so you have to be able to mount the radiator at the top of the case. I also like that it vents directly out of the case rather than blow hot air around inside.
  9. I just built a similar system with the 5900x. Went with the Gigabyte wifi motherboard because it had the most standard usb ports and rgb headers, and was cheaper than the Asus, but Asus and MSI were strong contenders. Also put in 32 gb of memory (Corsair Vengeance). Make sure you set the XMP profile in the bios so it runs at the full 3200 mhz. I went with a CoolerMaster water cooler and it runs dead silent with better temps than a fan cooler. Also is very low profile. I have 7 TB of SSD and a 4 TB backup hard drive with everything running flawlessly. I just used my Windows 10 existing boot drive and made sure to disable all my activations first before swapping out the motherboard. As long as Windows is authorized in the cloud on your account, you can re-link it to the new motherboard. Last thing, the AMD 5000 series have issues with usb periodically disconnecting. So make sure to update to the latest Agesa bios which is at 1.2.0.7. This did not completely solve my issue run my MOX8 audio through usb, so I added a FebSmart 4 Ports USB 3.0 PCI card and now no glitches. The new system can run 130 tracks now in Cubase no problem versus 20 tracks on my old Haswell i7, so very happy with the 5900x.
  10. Not sure how long this will last, but available at Amazon and Newegg. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QV3XGCP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-4tb/p/N82E16820250121
  11. Worked fine for me. Put ARO in my cart, put "soundbetterx30" under coupon code and got the $244 price. Already received my serial and download codes. I passed on BBC Core because I didn't care for the sound after trying out Discovery and it only includes the one mixed mic. You can try out Discovery and decide for yourself. The plan for ARO is to add on modules that work within the main interface. So can choose what you need. First modules are out and priced at $49. I plan to wait a while to see what comes out and for sale prices.
  12. I picked up the signature edition a couple years ago at JRR Shop for $178 with the group discount code. So sales do come around. To add, JRR has sales at least once a year with an extra group discount. Imageline generally does 30% off once in a while, but JRR has probably the best deal when on sale with them. I'm sure Larry will post their deal next time it comes up.
  13. Most of the negative reviews are because of the lower endurance and warranty. I've written close to 900 gb without any issue and have used this for a month so far running Kontakt libraries off of it. As I said these are meant to be fast storage drives for your libraries, not as your main system drive. I also have the archives for all my libraries backed up on a hard drive in case it does fail. For me I only use these drives for 1-2 years, and then I replace them as something bigger, faster comes along. Know what your buying. Btw, 4 1/2 stars on Amazon with 220 vs. Newegg's 12 reviews. Also, 4 1/2 on BHPhoto with 33 reviews. Not trying to push these, just make an informed decision.
  14. I have this drive. There is a fast SLC cache of about 30 gb that it writes to before it moves the data to the 4 bit memory. After that it slows down to about 80 mb/s if writing data beyond this amount which is going to be pretty rare. After it's loaded though, it behaves very close to my EVO with reading the data. This is a good price. I paid $99 for it a month ago. Also bear in mind the endurance is lower than the EVO, so good as a storage drive, but not as your main system drive.
