You da man, thanks!

Do you have that code, by any chance, sir? Thanks!

THis is infuriating to me. My PC, a custom build by Jim Roseberry with a crapload of CPU, RAM and solid state hard drives, does not pass the Health Checker test, and I am NOT going to mess with my system BIOS or anything else that could inadvertently result in a bricking of my mission critical, dedicated PC in my studio. Whatever improvements Windows 11 purports will have to wait or I'll just do without. I've not the time, expertise or energy to spend doing something completely unecessary just to update my OS. It's enough to finally get me to switch to a MAC, since I have Studio One (but still don't find it as easy to work with as Cakewalk, and have years of projects since 1995 using Cakwalk. I'm kind of upset about it, but in truth I'm guessing it may be quite a while before Win 10 goes obsolete or completely unsupported. Sometimes MS just gets in it's own way. Yuck.

will wait for the $$$ to go down a bit...

Yes, I am aware they are physically modeled--just being generic, what I meant to say is their "emulations" or representations of the instrument, sound superb to my ears, and I have other modelled instruments that I enjoy as well. Thanks.

I'm checking with them, haven't heard back, but unlike T&S, there is no disclaimer on their site, and the prices are the same--thanks so much for reminding me there are plenty of other vendors, and I like Audiodeluxe a lot--I may even get a further discount from them if they offer it. UPDATE: while waiting for confirmation, I put the Solo Woodwinds bundle in my cart--it's on sale for $487.50 making the price $122 per instrument group, which is a huge savings--and then lo and behold, they have a summer promo coupon, reducing it to 438.75, making the price $110 per instrument...this is practically irresistable, I have long thought their samples were better than anyone else's, and I have a lot of great samples already with other products, but not quite with the expressiveness of SM's stuff. Soon as I hear from them I'm gonna go ahead.

Have you tried to purchase any of these products from these sites in the US? I shop at those regularly, hadn't thought to try them, too, but I was told directly by Time Space that if I purchased there I would have to be refunded, and I certainly don't want to go to all that trouble for nothing. I will inquire directly to audio deluxe, et. al, if you are not sure the answer--but thanks for the suggestion!

I am beyond sad...wanted these for a long time...

IS this true? This message was on the site: PLEASE NOTE: Due to contract terms, we're unable to sell Audio Modeling products to customers based in the USA. 😪

Since I broke down and did the subscription service (which includes RX Pro) I am assuming (or hoping) the upgrade is automatically added once it releases.

$46 when I clicked on the link--guess the freebie is over... Oh...just read the rest of the original post...my bad ☺️ haven't finished my coffee yet this morning...

Hey, Larry, I live about 40 minutes from Myrtle Beach near the state line, I'm in NC...When you get in, let me know and maybe we can listen to some music, or if I have a gig (I do have one in Wilmington, NC on the 8th, and I play at a high-falutin' restaurant on Thursday nights in Myrtle Beach. Would be a hoot to actually meet the King of the Deal!

Wow, it's time has come....lemme at them....

Dont' forget my favorite, Orange Tree Samples. And so many others...oh, wait...you said "cheap," they are not, unless you get one of their deals and build up "orange slices" discounts, plus their annual group buy--which has recently ended for this year. Maybe Black Friday will bring some bargains. The quality is outstanding; I think it's well worth it.

looks like a lot for the $$$. Love having more vocal stuff, plus all the unusual instruments. May be just the thing...

Do we have to use the download installer to get it? THere's no toast notification and check for updates says I have the latest version. Assuming the answer is yes?

I have a serious problem figuring this one out> I'm trying to make stems out of several tracks, which I used to do by using the bounce to track item, choosing my tracks and selecting a new track to bounce it to. When doing this now, it says the destination track is a new track, but when finished, it creates individual tracks for each selected track, and not a mix of the tracks to create a stem. If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me, because I absolutely cannot use this feature unless I can create and/or export the stems and not simply create single tracks when I attempt to bounce or export. Thanks! UPDATE August 28: I figured out what I had to do, and have solved the issue, I believe.

I'm excited about the new export features--as a composer who has music in music libraries for sync placements, I need to export stems and cut down mixes, etc. This new update looks like it will streamline the process tremendously--and the tags/filenames will also help keep them properly labeled and sorted, both for myself and my music library. Also, for projects I produce for others this will be fabulous. Kudos to the Cakewalk bakers, this time you have really added a feature I expect to use extensively and that will make my life much easier so I can churn out new compositions more frequently. Will try this out over the next week once I install the release candidate and hope there are no bugs introduced. Thank you for this.

Interesting looking update, I usually don't do early access, but I might this time. If I read this correctly, exporting individual arranger sections as audio would save me a huge amount of time and effort when exporting cut-downs of mixes that I need to create. Stem export also looks promising, too, as I also need to export stems frequently in my work as a composer. Gonna give this a spin, I thin'

So I bought Majestica yesterday, at 65% off. However, no freebie was sent as of yet. So I see the next day they offer Majestica at 55% off and with the free Choir--I am going to see if I can get in on that somehow by contacting 8DIO. UPDATE: good news, yesterday the freebie was ostinato strings (another one I would like) and I contacted them, and while I didn't see it in my account initially, it's now there, so I'm downloading now! Yay.

I wish I was....I'm not

May I ask how you rate this library, I am starting to use more of 8DIO's products lately and like them. However I do have two other orchestral libraries that are very good, Spitfire's Abby Road One and BBC Orchestra Core. I would love to get this and the price is right, but don't know if it will supplement or duplicate what I already am using extensively.

will do. Sometimes it's good to have choices, other times...too many, lol.

So after contacting Izotope, they were able to create a link for me to get the subscription for $49 first year. It's a risk if it's worth it in the longer run, but I went ahead and took the plunge. I use their products on every project extensively--would love the new features, and the first year deal is great, including groove 3 pass (which I have yet to try out). So once I get updated with all the latest versions, etc. I'll have an idea if I made the right decision. If not, I guess by next year I'll know if some other suite of tools (like Fabfilter, Universal Audio, Waves) would be as good or better to switch too. Wish me luck into the dark side of subscription software membership....(shuddering)...

Do you own the Abby Road or BBC Core like I do, and how do they compare/contrast, if I may ask? Thanks as always...
