I feel like this VST is finally getting to where it should have been at its initial release.

EDIT:  Note that the list above is ALL of the updates from CV-1.  The only updates in 2.2 are the 6 new modules AFAIK.

Here's Loot Audio with prices close to the others (at least in USD):  https://www.lootaudio.com/category/plugins/fabfilter

Comes out cheaper than the KVR with coupon (for me at least) and slightly cheaper than JRR with coupon.

EDIT:  This seems to be product dependent.  I've noticed this to be true especially with Loot Audio.  Sometimes they have a great price and sometimes it's terrible even for the same sale.

If you locate the daemon.log file, you can open it in a text editor and see what it's doing.  It's definitely scanning through *all* of my VSTs.  

NTKDaemon takes over 30%+ of my CPU when it runs and it runs for probably at least 5-10 minutes when it gets started.  WHAT IS IT DOING?!?

Yep, it's 3.10.3 here.  I decided to try to update some products for the first time in months and it's been hours and hours with NA and my Task Manager Open to try to see what is happening.  (yes, I've been working on other things while it runs).  Some have been updated, but Komplete Kontrol has been a mess to try to update.  I now cannot get it to get past the "Loading Products" prompt when I log in.  However, sometimes when I start it, it goes straight to my products without any issue.  Why the different responses?  I have no idea.

I could have downloaded and installed all these products in 1/10th the time if I had access to the downloads.  The biggest issue is that you have no idea what's going on when it's running.  There are no messages.  It could be hung-up indefinitely or it might actually just be taking this long to install one item.  There's no way to know.   So, do I wait for the "Loading Products" prompt to finish or should I end the task and retry it?  I don't know.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one of the biggest players in the software game.  Smdh.

Is Native Access working correctly these days?  I haven't opened it in weeks based on the many terrible reports.

Pluginboutique sent out coupon codes for three Dawesome synths over the weekend (Kult, Novum, Abyss).  The newsletter said the code lowered the price of Novum to $99, but that's not what it does.

The code lowers the price to $68.  

Link to buy:  https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/5-Sampler/9238-Dawesome-Novum

Coupon Code: TRKUP03

The other two codes and prices are:  

Dawesome Kult ($49--Code: TRKUP01  )

Dawesome Abyss ($49--Code: TRKUP02)

Best service has cheaper expansions.

Yes, and they also are way cheaper, so it's worth it

Well, we're talking about 40% vs. 50% off, so it could make a difference for some.

Edu licenses are NFR, btw.

Individual expansions are approx. $38 at Best Service.  If you buy 3, then you can use the $10 off Easter code.  That's 3 expansions for approx. $104.

I know that's not the same as the bundle pack, but if you have some you want now, then that's a good deal.

I'm biased because I love Metroidvania games in general, but I do recommend this one.  It's a very laidback and fun game.  

Get ready for loads of these coupon codes for the free products to be for sale around the internet.

Also, apparently Steinberg wasn't prepared for the internet traffic.

You can also get Novum for around $83 and Abyss for around $67 at JRR Shop.

Is that the lowest price yet for Novum?

So, you made an account just to find a years old post and question if it's an affiliate link? 

That's...uh...strange. Suspicious even.

When it comes to NI coupons, this is the least shocking thing ever.

Great software this for photos, graphics. I have the previous itteration / version, use it all the time. Its sols as a ONCE off price, not sub. I used to use Photoshop but once they went crazy priced sub and i spotted Affinity .. I was sold

https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/

€125.99 for the whole suite ( Reg €179 )

UPGR - €94 ( Reg €135 )

 

In the US store, these prices are $115 and $86 so definitely cheaper than the pound equivalents.

If you have an iPad, this purchase also gets you the iPad versions of all three programs.

This looks like an impressive piece of software.  No one has made a Geist 2 replacment yet, but this one is moving in that direction.

I think the 50% off vouchers are for people that already own Falcon, so it won't stack unless they can buy another copy.

If anyone has and uses 8 bit kit, I'd love it if you could explain how to get it not to sound like hot garbage. I bought it during the last sale, along with Dark Farm, and its just... wrong. Only 3 presets, and they didn't even show up until I messed around with the location of files. And when I load any of the kits its just set up so poorly, with levels flat across the board, distorted as all hell, just sounds bizarre. There's no info online about how it should sound, so I have no idea if it's meant to sound like someone with a microphone who went insane made a bunch of weird sounding drum sounds and only half got them to work in BFD before deciding screw it, I'm done, let's put this up for sale. 

The video below shows them sounding bad. 

However, in the comments below the video, someone says that the default sounds on another product sounded bad and it was because so much mix was going through the room, overhead, and ambient mics. Maybe try some changes there?

How can Native Instruments be so bad these days?  They have fallen so far. 

Perfect for playing your favorite harpejjios

I feel that way with Oblivion Sound Labs. In fact, it's more like close to 100%.
Even their free soundbanks are amazing. They really shouldn't be free.
Diva owners have to checked out their free soundbanks:

100% agree.  Oblivion Sounds has my favorite packs period.

The Unifnished is really good too. 

Does the coupon code really have the product name misspelled or is that a typo?
