Hmmmm 440 and dropping a bit faster. The Petermail effect, me thinks. Give in to the force.

This morning I noticed there was an update for the Loopcloud App so I went from 6.0 to 6.12. Their new policy is that you MUST be a subscriber to add ANY local loops that you already own to the database. HUGE deal-breaker for me. This was a good "free" utility, even with the limitations on using the sonic matching etc for subscribers. If anyone can point me to a 6.0 installer i would appreciate it. I am going to see if I can pull the installed files from a back-up to get the functionality back. BTW ADSR Sample manager is still free and I've actually been using it more than the Loopcloud app recently anyway. -additional info- My research indicates that this policy went into effect with version 6.0 around April this year. I didn't notice it until i recently rearranged my sample libraries and was not allowed to re-scan them. BUMS! Their software, their right to change policy, ******* move to make this change without warning. Here is a thread from another forum on the topic. Here is the link to ADSR Sample Manager that I actually found easier to use than Loopcloud. The only annoyance so far is a little suggestion window that pops up on boot (ya gotta pay for "free" somehow), and another small window that says your sample folders have new data (even when they don't). The tempo and key analysis works well, and there is even a pretty good built in stretch algorithm for tempo changing loops while holding pitch.

Or at least maybe add on to the GB entry list Resonator... I can't think of any titles at the moment Resonator, but there must be something appropriate. Resonator

The forum that shall remain nameless has a Mathematologist with graphing skills. Now let's parabolize that slope!

Alas- The shipping equals the microphone price for me (ECM8000). No one in the States appears to have them in stock for $30. I may pick up the ARC 3 anyway before "the end" and backorder the mic from Sweetwater.

Second buy in. Between the 95 GC I unknowingly had in the couch cushions, JamPoints, and credit card kickbacks, I got one $200 and one $150 buy in for $156.27 out of pocket. I feel like I got everything I wanted for about half the cost of the TSMax3 upgrade when it was on sale. I still have a few slots left for stuff that I have not yet discovered that I want. 😏

As long as we are constructively thread building now- I decided I want to spend one of my freebies on the Leslie to relive my youth a few decades back when we used to run my guitar through one for a few tunes. I am comfortable with Amplitube, which I have been using for a while. Is there a good reason to consider getting the T-Racks version instead? From my research, it looks like Amplitube actually gives more routing options, but I would expect them to be the same?

Alexa just informed me that this is in my mailbox right now: I am pretty sure that Lars put me on to this a few days ago in this very forum. Y'all are a bunch of enablers y'know!

YES, you can! From now on, posting KVR answers here. Eventually he'll wander over to gawk at the tall (or red Italian) buildings.

So, I just found 95 IK Gear Credits in the couch cushions. The credits never really registered with me until this GB $200 times 6, 7?, 25? for $112 thing popped up. I bought in, and after purchase noticed that my GC balance was 95😶. I bought my first IK (Sample Tank 2) in 2010 and of course accepted the 10 GC here, 10 GC there giveaways since, but never bought any. Now, do I blow it on another round, or let it accrue for the next GB (assuming I remember that I have them THEN) ? I guess they never expire! BTW MixBox is a real hoot! I am having second thoughts about spending one of my freebies on T-Racks 5, considering the amazing array in there. I already have some fancy-pants compressors and EQs...

Place your bets. Even odds on the winning page count on August 31.

OK- You got me too. I was thinking waiting for another TS3 Max deal but now I get Amplitube 5, Mixbox, Modo drum, Modo bass, T-racks 5 (all crossgrade pricing at $200 level) PLUS at least one other title for $112 total. <<GAS explosion>> GIMME!

Yes- I have V10 from a past freebie and now a "WUPless" V12 thanks to @FranciscoJ

Make that date September 1, 2021. They must have forgotten to change that when they pasted the sale info.

Looks like this is a good candidate for my August $25 voucher then. Thanks!

I was looking at this only for the Groove 3 pass, then coincidentally this afternoon got an offer for three months for $4.99/mo (Groove 3 ONLY!). Been a couple years, so I am in for that. If I want to keep it up, I think they usually have a November sale. This is the link from their email. It didn't look unique to me, but YMMV.

Meh. I have a UMC404HD in my junk box. I was always frustrated with the poor output (not enough to drive my JBL powered monitors) even at max. When I replaced it with a Focusrite Gen 3 that gives plenty of drive even at about 30% on the big knob, I also discovered that all of the occasional crackle that I was blaming on the DAW was gone.

FB <shudder> Thank you for wading into the swamp so we don't have to! 👍

Me too. I own 11 Suite. I took a three month free "+" offer in May, then switched to the "3 for $3" on the first round in July. I wonder when or IF the offers will fall away and they will survive on full price subscribers. I am not seeing the value.

Are you sure that deal is back? No mention of it on the Reason forum.

I own Sample Tank 4 Max, but no FX or Modo. My upgrade to TS3M is $499 and there have been a couple coupons this year that took that to $299, but I have not taken the hook yet. If I plan to go with TS3M in the future, is it pointless to look at the group buy? i.e. is there any additional purchase that would knock my TS3M upgrade price down further?

Bunch of people on VI-Control (Curse You 8DIO thread) are reporting that they got the free Requiem Pro based on $98 FULL PRICE basis. ie buy a $100 product, pay $35 and still get the freebie. Did NOT work for me, I think because after my $48 + $78 purchase (before discount) the value in my account for the $78 product changed to $48, making the sum $2 short. I had the gall to query 8dio support, but they insisted that the freebie only goes out based on the after discount total. Not complaining, because I know it's a glitch. It just didn't break my way this time.

I just got this email, but I have not logged in to verify the prices: Thank you for your loyal support of 8Dio and V8P.
