Aha ... thats the bit I couldnt test as i did not want to "accidentally" buy it as i have v9 already and older versions back to 3 or 4. I was looking at this for band mates rather than me having to freeze arturia tracks in projects we are working on @cclarry It seems at this stage this offer is restricted to USA and CANADA. Maybe reflect this in the thread title????

@overbit Have you tried buying this vi a VPN? As in that FREE VPN I mentioned above included with the FREE OPERA GX browser https://www.opera.com/gx

@Fleer Is that ver of bitwig quiet limited? Other than the 8 track thing?

Also available over at ZINIO for ST£25 for 12 months ( normally ST£42 ) . English version https://www.zinio.com/gb/beat-m37585 Not sure the diff between that and PLATINUM? And is the APD offer the ENGLISH edition?

Thanks @TVbene ... I use OPERA GX browser https://www.opera.com/gx My go to browser, love it. ITS FREE, try it AND it has its own built in VPN feature you can turn on / off in settings. I went to the Arturia V Collection 8 page at proaudiostar - link at OP above. Had the OPERA GX VPN on .. this time I could add to cart, go to checkout. With VPN off that was not possible. As to whether it would allow you to go beyond the Checkout to say paypal, I didnt check that as i would not be buying this - already have it plus V Collec 9

So ... as stated above and just double checking. This deal is only for people in the USA and CANADA .. whatever serials you get will not work in Europe and rest of world other than US and canada???

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 )

I just tried to email them via form on contact page re this Q about US only. Pressed send and got this:

Well that sucks And i mentioned it already to a few band/muso buddies and just back to them saying HOLD OFF .. not a good look

BTW you can pay for your ABLETON Upgrade / or buying new via KLARNA facility at the ableton site when you are at checkout. This allows you to pay for Ableton over 3 monthly totally interest free installments. So for example my upgrade price is €87 - thats 3 x €29 installments Just thought this worth considering if the sheckles are a bit tight and the no interest thing

@Tim Smith I did see in one of the 11 to 12 type reviews a guy saying he uses Ableton as much as possible with Abletons OWN instruments and efx, doesnt use any external VSTs if he can avoid it. Finds workflow far quicker etc etc

I have been using the beta for a while and for what I use I can still do fine in 11. This time I dont think I will be a first adoptor. That €87 deal will come around again and when 12 is a bit more bedded in ..

Essentially the few "big" changes are: - The mixer now viewable as well on the session or arranger view - 2 new instruments Roar and Meld - New midi editing tools - Search Features eg sound similarity search - Few more small view changes No game changing upgrades???? .. unless you really granularly use Midi editing tools. I looked briefly and its sort of Scaler plugin built in?

@Niky Serrano Having watched that video Im a tad unsure if its worth the upgrade TBH ( €87 ) .. It just looks like an update within the Live 11 version. He makes some good points in the final - should you upgrade

Pre release review of difference tween Live 11 and Live 12 .. and is the upgrade worth it https://sonicscoop.com/ableton-live-12-review/#:~:text=In Use,12 compared to previous versions. Below is separate video on the same subject:

My Upgrade from 11 to 12 email arrived - €87 - with a link to go direct to the shop. This offer will last for 7 days when the link expires

Re VSDS-X @MrFigg .. A drummer we had in the 80s had a full Simmons Kit .. used it at gigs when we were going through our Howard Jones, Duran Duran etc New Wave, New romantic phase ... great times, happy memories

I am a huge fan of SCOTTISH BAND - THE BLUE NILE who used Linn drums exclusively on there 1st album any way "A Walk Across the Rooftops"

Have that already but must admit I have not used it much yet.

@Brian Walton Yip thats true - it downloads the large installer file proper. So when it gets to the end of the download and then to the welcome screen to actually install I would imagine you could copy that install file proper from inside your windows temp folder. Before doing the download, clear out the windows temps folders ( c:\windows\temp and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp

I have Corel painter 2020 ( and also earlier versions ) over at my account on Humble Bundle. There I have the downloader installer that still works, tested. Also note its Lifetime Perpetual License for 2 devices. The INSTALL Size for this version is 1.45GB. I also have the product IDs / Serials registered over at my Corel account

is this a processor / memory / system hog?
