    I'm just wondering if I need to check myself in to rehab. I really feel as if I'm on this forum for hours every day. Pick up phone, check what's happening, put down phone, pick up phone a minute later and repeat ad nauseam. I know also that it's pretty much the same gang here every day, day in day out. I just wanted to know...how are you doing it? Same as me? Page open at work? Same as me but without putting your phone down or leaving your computer screen? I know I'm not alone. I'm just having serious difficulty breaking free.

    meh, you're ok!

    we are not crazy. we are not, right?

    But honestly, about the black friday bargains, I kinda felt like this year was just.... ok.  The only standout for me was the 50% U-He everywhere.

    If I was you, I could consider to buy a Studio Max with a new account and sold out the original account with low price. Spend the money on the rigth time could save more money and energy.

    I wish I had this idea last month!

    But I'm ok with that, except the sample based plugins, the IK Products are really nice. I'm really planning and pursuing to make more music next year, so it all will makes sense at some point, I guess :)

  3. Yes, I went through the group buy route for a long time. Honestly, the only bit that I wanted right now was Modo Bass 2, but them it seemd always wrongly priced, even the upgrade. So, at some point, the max route seemed more... logical.

    Then I bought the Sampletank max last month (and the whole sampled libraries of IK are almost of no interest to me) and got the maxgrade on ikmultimedia. I'm from a Latin America country (Brazil), so $200 USD is a LOT of money to me (my rent right now would be around $185).

    Now I'm with a lot of duplicates that aren't worthy selling (because of recent price drops + Ik license transfer fee), so I can relate to what most of your guys feel about IK.

    • Ableton Suite 11 -got it some days before the 12 announcement and further discount on 11, dammit, but ok, I had decided that it was the proper moment fo me to get the it. (€ 444 on Thoman)
    • Ik Multimedia total Studio Crossgrade ($ 167 on jrrshop)
    • U-He Uhbkik and Filterscape - totally impulse buy to complete my U-He collection ($ 123.71)

    So it seems that I'm in a kind of 'completion' GAS season.

    the mac pro are different beasts than the macbook pros and mac minis.

    The Xeon processors and dual graphics cards make them difficult to handle properly for open core. (e.g. hardware acceleration for graphics does not work). So even if technically possible to install Ventura or Sonoma on them, they don't work correctly with Logic -_-

    Sad! Macs sometimes are wild beasts...

    Well, I don't use logic either, but this update looks really good!

    I'm stuck to 10.7 then. My Mac Pro 2013 is unsupported with Ventura or Sonoma.

    The tests of installing them on the Mac Pro 2013 using OpenCore are not great

    I'm running a Macbook Pro Early 2013 with OpenCore, but Monterey. Works fine.

    My macmini 2015 is running Ventura with OpenCore, works fine too.
