Pure charm. 🤮

If you haven't noticed, a whole lot of us on this thread used to be primarily Sonar users but have switched to other platforms since the crud thud. Now I'm just here for the deals and downtalk, I guess.

Indeed. Need to up the coffee intake. Will fix.

Haven't used Cakewalk since the lifetime debacle, because it made me irate and Bandlab has left a bunch of the Cakewalk IP to rot. Bandlab hasn't given me a thing. Cheers.

Bad example. Your house would be foreclosed because you were in arrears, not because you paid extra.

My statements are not about attempting enforcement of the agreement or some such thing; just about the right thing to do. I'm a legal professional and have a handle on the contractual bit, even if my bravado/snarkiness may obscure that. I have long since moved on from Cakewalk since the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth, but a bit of good-will and client-relations reparations could go a long way to changing my mind. As you were.

I paid for lifetime SONAR access. Not lifetime access to Gibson's self-tuning wallet robber.

Not seeing another penny from me unless they make good on basic Platinum lifetime access first. It's the right thing to do if they want to keep good-will. I don't recall what I paid for being in any way contingent on Gibson existing as parent.

Oof. Looking forward to them making good on the lifetime license I've already paid for.

I’ll open one too, despite being a demo user.

Thanks. That was my experience. A rather disappointing oversight. This makes one lose audio when navigating between patches in Ableton if MPE is enabled for Hyperion in the DAW.

It seems like the MPE setting needs to be reset for every preset. Anyone know if that is how it is or is it a limitation of the demo?

Omnisphere is still too much cash outlay for me.

Will do after a bit more time. On first blush, worth 9 bucks but not sure I'd be thrilled for 29 plus. That said, I've barely begun and the real fun of Unify is combinations, effects routing and all that good stuff.

Still works on String Theory here. I just checked again.

You do and I'm considering it for the same reason. Although I'm wondering if I could get Opus a little cheaper by upgrading my SD2 to Pro.

Was just about to post this. Scored the new String Theory library for 9 dollars.

That's my point. Great plan (I had it too), but the Oven isn't on the list. The list is all stuff you would get for the same price anyway during one of their other sales using the standard sale pricing and a monthly voucher or the occasional no minimum voucher. In some cases you may more at the NI $29 "discount" starting point, minus a no minimum voucher, than you would using a no-minimum voucher during another sale.

Given the limited list of (routinely better discounted) products available for use with the voucher and PA's general sale practices, even stacking the two will likely land you where you pretty much might have been otherwise/cost-wise in a different sale/voucher setting. That said, my voucher expires 12/31/24.

I've been drooling over this one for a while. That said, I'm holding out in hopes it ends up getting better BF sale pricing after the upcoming release of his other new synth.

NI discount won't reappear at Black Friday. Soundtoys deal almost assuredly will. I own both FWIW and am glad I do.

It is rather pathetic.

At this point, I feel like a bit of a fool every time I purchase yet another reverb, but it is tempting to stay current with the bundle at this price. That said, how many reverbs can a person usefully own?
