I was thinking the same with my new PC but when I came to create the Win 10 Pro media for it in July I found that Microsoft only provided the 2004 media creation tool so I was forced to go that route. It made me wish that I had backed up a copy of the 1909 media creation tool. I did find copies of older media creation tools on the Internet but didn't fancy taking my chances with non Microsoft sourced versions. I am still on 1909 on my old PC but there's no pressing need to upgrade that. 

It makes no difference now days, I have all versions of the media creation tools back a long way, if you run them now you will only get the latest version regardless. Fortunately I kept copies of the ISO's going back to1511 if I ever want them, but I am happy with1903 on my music PC's, I'll sit there for the foreseeable future, was actually happy sitting on 1803 but went chasing an issue with a plugin, someone said to update Windows, I didn't want to because I knew it wouldn't be the cure, which it wasn't, but I found no issues with 1903 so let all my music PC's update to 1903 then shut the updates down again.

Let us know if you get IKPM to see and use those files on the USB stick.

I manually downloaded the ST Max files (Quicker) no way I could get PM to use them, so I installed it all manually. Didn't take that long.

my backup solution is a bit makeshift - is True Image any good ?  I don't want anything sitting in the background taking up CPU resources when I'm recording.....

Just don't install it. Download the bootable ISO file, burn it to CD, then when you want to backup you just boot to that CD follow the instructions, same if you need to reinstate. Easy as, never had an issue.

I prefer to do it manually than have stuff running in the background doing God knows what when I don't want. Much prefer to take control myself, also I prefer doing this sort of stuff 'offline',  not within a running OS.

I would never have purchased it straight out, if it wasn't for filling up a freebie slot I wouldn't have it now. I doubt I'll ever use it.

MODO Bass on the other hand is excellent, I have been using that for place holder Bass parts since release.

Remember that it will be cheaper at EveryPlugin when it's up

EDIT:  It's up at $35.07 with code LABORDAY

http://everyplugin.com/kaleidoscopes.html

Sure you got that right, that doesn't work for me but 'LASTCALL' does, you might have LABORDAY hanging over from another sale 😉

Very nice, insta buy for me, have just the place to try it out on, similarish to the distorted guitar thing he tried in the vid, should work very well hopefully.

Fixed the typo, thanks! Note that the tips apply to Sonar as well.

I don't use that either, it's just cclarry and the deals forum, I just caught shortened version of the thread tittle and had a peak, don't usually venture out of the basement.

Glad you fixed it, (not that it bothers me, eg, I'm happy with 2 to ot too) it just didn't make sense as it was, still understandable, and I know how much importance you put on these things, and you are usually on the mark.

I think number 5 needs attention

Hitting the Function keys associated with the While the Smart, Move, or Edit tool (function keys F5-F7) is already selected, hitting its associated Function key toggles between that tool and whichever tool you used last.

didn't read through them all as I don't use CbB.

Been waiting on a good discount on True Dynamics, it's really nice on a lot of things, and now I have it. 👍

It's free

all their pedals are good as well, take advantage of the half price sale. hint hint

Then download A360 to house everything you have collected all tidy like.

Yabba dabba doo, welcome Fret. 

Well, it's a bit like Kotter really,  .  .  . welcome back

I'm going to score me the H3000 Factory, H3000Band Delays and the H910 Harmonizer. Could probably get them for a bit cheaper price in the future, but I let the H910 go once before, not this time though, that's cheap enough.

What do folks think of their Marshall sim

In my opinion the best there is. I think they may have made a mistake with the Kerry King model by using the term 'Thrash Metal' with it often, it is much more than that. Just de-beastify it and it becomes a much more versatile beast. The plexi is heaven on a stick, they are all very very good, just depends what you are after I suppose.
