In case you want a better idea what it's about, Simeon has already posted a video.

The software files can be deleted, but the sound/instrument downloads expire so people want to keep those files in case they need to be reinstalled.

It should show the reduced price automatically when you're logged in.

I've thought about getting this. I wonder how much value there's to have both versions... You should be able to get both for $30.

They've extended the sale till April 6th. The biggest bundles aren't currently available though.

There's no point to keep old versions of the application installation files. (Instrument/data files of course should be saved.)

If you're wondering why you don't have any free HD/SSD space, check your IKM download folder. I had 50 GB of old Tonex and AmpliTube installation files there. And other old versions of IKM files that can be deleted.

This "Ends tomorrow".

For some reason the new version shows a menu bar. You can download the new version from here if it doesn't auto-update: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/downloads/

I just got an email from Purafied Audio: "WAVE goodbye to plugin subscriptions".

Let's hope this will be a massive commercial failure so other companies don't try to do the same. Luckily I've only bought one plugin from Waves.

Another 1.7 GB download.

Plugin managers are fine if they don't install services that are always running (like Waves).

These are high quality libraries, but they're focused on ensemble patches. Kontakt 7 factory library is apparently pretty good. I'm guessing it's probably enough for you. Depends on what you have already and what you need of course.

It's also been free @ Epic Games in December 2019 so check if you have it before you buy.

SoundPaint is 8Dio's own new plugin engine. 8Dio libraries were made for Kontakt and they are older. SoundPaint will be releasing a new string library in "several weeks, but not several months .." (comment from YouTube) and probably a lot more later, so if you like SoundPaint, you might want to wait.

They're also selling the upgrade to full version, which is about 33% cheaper. And you get the freebie (Cube Mini & expansion). https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/9800-StereoSavage-2-Upgrade-from-StereoSavage-2-Elements

I don't think Hollywood Orchestra Diamond has ever been even close to $100. A few years ago it was still about $500 even on sale. Now it's closer to $300 on sale.

There's a How to Install Guide in the zip file.

The password is in the "Instalation Code.txt" (their spelling) file.
