Bapu

I pay just about $20/month for 2 select  subscriptions, one of which gives me $100 at the end of each year so I can pick and choose what I want to own (Kilohearts, btw). The is not a true 'subscription' per se. It's my plugged in membership with Harrison. That monthly membership fee does get me anywhere from 1 to 3 free new plugins a year and goes toward supporting Harrison's dev effort (as well as purchasing major version upgrades at a reduced cost).

I'll succumb to Slate's subscription when I get a project that uses his version of ANA or THU but only until I can convert the projects to my native versions of the products. As of right now I do own all of Slates plugins, so it's just that niggle that opening a project that uses Slate's ANA or THU will not recognize and load the actual native plug and populate his settings (stoopid, stoopid, stoopid even though I understand the reasoning).

Empirical Labs only got as low as $169.15 😞 

Still waiting for 50% off 🙂

I can only do my music so long then the Tinnitus starts acting up really bad and I need to take a break.

My Tinnitus (at this point) is a random chirping sound similar to the sound of our smoke detectors when the battery needs replacing. And it's random which ear it's in. But, it's only in one ear or the other for the duration of the engagement on a given day.

Remember: Never put him on bypass

Still no updates available in TT Manager. 😞 

Ditto to what everyone has said +1.

Tis lurvely, mate.

Nuttin', nada, zilch.

And that's what my collaborators say about my tracks too.

DOH! I bought it twice, thinking I didn't already have it.

I keed, I keed.

I have three of them 🙂 

On the way to Brazil?

Pretty good.

I used to play with a guitar player who could so that with all the instruments in a song he never heard before. Amazing it was. 

Uh Oh, only 2 EZDrummer MIDI Serials available (at the old price). 😞 

Installed!

Nice. But I'll wait for an unlocked sale on the complete collection which could be cheaper than the Console 1 version's price today.

Said the guy clinging on to his Cubase upgrade to try and squeeze a little more juice out of it.   

Ah yes, Cubase that gets used maybe twice a year vs. SSD that is used nearly every day.

... the cost per GB compared to HDD is something I can't justify.

Like batteries, flash memory has a limit of cycles. It's estimated that a SSD lasts 25% less than a mechanical hard drive. A HDD lasts about 10 years, although there have been examples of drives lasting twice that. If you're writing large files to that drive constantly, that will greatly reduce its lifespan.

I make every effort to replace HDDs after 5 years (to be safe). So I guess 4 years for an SSD would be about right. That means next year my DAW SSD should be be replaced.
