Have a great time, Larry!

At ~0:30 the video shows some text: over 400MB samples with 600MB factory library. I wonder: is this for people who might not realise that 600 classifies as over 400?

I'm not sure what there is to be worried about from looking at whois alone. Namecheap is company where you can buy web domains from. All of the details are redacted as they bought privacy as part of their domain. It's probably someone's home/side business and they don't want to expose where they live to the world. They're probably either a solo dev, or a small company, which doesn't make them that much different from some other small companies that have deals posted here often. ... and no: I have nothing to do with Techvation

I sort of tried:

8Dio is focussed on more traditional sampled Kontakt instruments. SoundPaint is its own engine. They have a special proprietary format that only opens in SoundPaint. If I understand correctly, SP is more geared towards sound design: you can open multiple instrument layers and blend them together. It also supposedly does away with sampling layers to give you a fully smooth velocity transition; from what I've understood in the sales videos it's some kind of cross between sampling and granular technology - lots of mini samples that put together a sound appropriate for the input velocity in real time. The SP engine is free and you can import you own samples. SP libraries seem to be much bigger than 8Dio libraries (in terms of disk space).

They're like a certain bodily orifice: there's a problem if you have more than one ?

I used to have to use a really crappy old machine at a company I once worked at (as a software developer). Our dev tools were fairly resource intensive and my machine would crash quite frequently. Ever since then, I typically press Ctrl+Shift+S (save all open windows) after typing every three words

Don't you also have to pay an annual ZDT fee as well?

I think AI's going to open up a can of copyright worms, or at least make some ripples in the area. As things are now, works are copyrighted and people can claim copyright infringement if there are substantial (or even unsubstantial as we've seen in some cases) similarities in works. AI can be really powerful, but AI needs to be trained on source material. If I understand correctly, some governments are making all works open for AI learning (there may or may not be a possibility to opt out). As the output of AI will be derived from its learnings, there is going to be a whole lot of new AI generated music that will sounds like the various pieces that it was trained on. I'm not sure how copyright if going to be affected by this.

This is slightly different though: The reward money is there to bring regular priced items down to their base price and can't be used for the showcase deals. These vouchers bring the showcase deal prices down (except for the exceptions that they specify) by a further $20. I can say whether this will make it any more worthwhile; I'm just saying there's a slight difference in the two discount schemes.

Congratulations!

There one in a plugin here: https://haveaudio.com/collections/virtual-instruments/products/uap-unique-audio-plugin

Version 6 has two new updates that I do appreciate: Track icons. Yeah; some people don't care for them, but I find them really useful for quick track identification on the console view. The new video track. I started experimenting with video scoring and it's really nice for video to be more integrated in the experience.

Ooh: this does look interesting... Could someone tell me please - Does this run off your own computer, or does it have to upload to the cloud to render? Does it need an iLok or anything like that? Do the voices ever go on sale (besides being bundled with the initial purchase)?

This looks more like an expansion, but there's Dark Horizon (not on sale) https://www.bestservice.com/dark_horizon_crossgrade.html

Did you get the licences back? If so, how long did it take?

Did you try clearing your browser cache?

Do you feel that it needs a v1.0.2 patch? If so, what needs addressing?

I lost too. Strange game - no clue what the prizes are. Boom Library has a spinner game - prizes range from one sound effect from their libraries, to bonus spins, to coupons. At least you get to see what the prizes are though.

I used to have a colleague who used a graphics tablet and stylus instead of a mouse; he claimed it was ergonomically better for him.

In addition to Irid, don't forget about Audiority Xenoverb

Which ones, and what makes you say that?

It's not particularly cheap, but the best way to get a discount on individual SDXs would be to buy a custom 3-pack https://www.toontrack.com/product/sdx-value-pack/ If any resellers give the occasional site-wide coupon, these are something to have in mind if you're looking to expand your drum sounds.
