Well, MS still didn't give permission for WinWorld to have XP listed in their site because there's still a lot of legacy hardware that still runs some version of XP. https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-xp/final

Plus Mike has an account here and would post a response if he felt like doing so.

Let's just hope NI is not paying you two in vouchers, because that would suck.

Now that the time is running out, they're adding more plugins.

Can't expect much from a company that decided changing their logo to the current ones was a good idea.

"We used an advanced AI algorithm which analysed your purchases and made sure to have a list of sale offers for you that excludes plugins you have in your wishlist or have shown increased interest."

You don't have to believe in yourself. Just do the work.

Then we can all move to Reaper once that happens.

The problem here is that, while I see the point of the video, the whole "everyone can be a winner if they try hard enough" is not how things work in practice and the whole video attempts to sell this idea. Considering how saturated creative markets are, the likelihood of someone making it is only slightly higher than it was back when you needed quite the upfront investment to make it happen. Just because you were successful doesn't mean everyone can be. Experience and placement can also cause what I call the professor bias, as people which are looking at things from the finish line often fail to see things from the perspective of someone which hasn't arrived yet. And this often causes the disconnect you see from people like Warren sand the types of videos which attempt to teach or share something that 99% of people watching can't apply as they may never face such scenarios.

Tell that to Waves plugins and their HTML interfaces which require spinning a local server for each version of their plugin you have installed. I'm pretty sure that's not gonna introduce any overhead into your system because it's not connected to the internet, right?

Again?!

It's not weird. UAD's whole premise as a company was to compete against ProTools and its HD systems, much like SSL attempted and failed with their Duende system. Back when computers couldn't match the processing power of a well programmed FPGA. Once audio quality, processing and interfaces started catching up, UAD became the seller of expensive hardware tied to effects that had quality matched by others that didn't require a multi thousand dollar dongle or PCIe card. They know their plugins will not sell if they don't price them down. Plus they got their prior position of overpriced plugin seller tied to expensive hardware taken by Antelope.

As much as Plugin Alliance is certainly deserving of some criticism in regards to their product model (selling features from plugins as a brand new plugin you have to pay for), their installation process is the most painless one you'll find. You don't have to use their product manager if you don't want to. If you do, removing a plugin is a simple matter of going where it is installed and deleting it. No spring cleaning on leftovers, no annoying uninstallers that sometimes don't even work and so on.

My only gripe with those "coaching" type videos is the amount of disconnect with the scenario is very visible. It's like when you see someone with millions of subscribers making a video about their mental issues or similar. It feels less like a video for others and more like them wanting their huge fanbase to pat them on the back. This is one of the reasons why I stopped watching Produce Like a Pro. Not that I have anything against Warren personally and the material he produces, but he's clearly not speaking to me when it comes to topics he covers. It almost feels like flexing or someone trying to sell a product rather than genuine knowledge sharing like you get from Dan Worrall even when he's doing videos for FabFilter as a demonstrator.

That's a lie right there. You don't get Drift with Live Lite.

Yes. But it as a new user and you'll get a better discount.

Or you could just use the Sonitus plugins, which look better than this and cost you nothing.

There's probably some related thing which somehow links Dio Brando with Ronnie James Dio, but I stopped caring about Jojo long before I learned about the memes.

I don't trust a studio which doesn't have a visible cable mess.

After some consideration, I grabbed Unfiltered Audio's Sandman Pro which also gives you a copy of Instant Delay even with the voucher applied.

Here it shows 24.99

I think I might pass on this one or grab one of the plugins which can be fully discounted with the voucher. Nothing offered really strikes my fancy as something I'd really want to spend money on.

You'd think a 400 queso plugin would say least have some money invested in a more presentable user interface...

Maybe they learned how to make plugins with Acustica.

Now there's something I'm curious about. Some plugins from Elysia and SPL cost more than the discount but if you scroll all the way down, there are bundles which area listed as less than the price of a single plugin. Are these legit it is PA trying to pull a fast one on us? EDIT - The link for those has the word "monthly" in them, yet there's no mention anywhere apart from a sales blurb that this is a monthly subscription plan. And just found the small print in the very bottom. Considering this information is effectively hidden, I'm gonna go with PA trying to pull a fast one on some people.
