I wonder how the pronunciation of BRAAAAAMS will be done in BRAAAASS...

If you have many orchestral section libraries that each take minute/s to load, it's very useful to have and use a 'simple', quick-loading, and all-encompassing library when initially putting down ideas.

It really depends on whether or not the instruments in that bundle work with the type of music you write, e.g. someone writing mostly synth based EDM probably wouldn't find it as useful as someone who includes more orchestral (though not necessarily 'classical') elements in their music. Personally I didn't go for the bundle, but I already have Mars from the VSTBuzz deal

Good advice. Also: turn on 2FA

I kinda guessed that, hence why I phrased it as a 'greater need' ?

You can't during the sale: virtual cash is used to discount the advertised price, to a minimum of the base price (displayed in blue, in a smaller font) - as everything is already at base price, no further discount can be applied.

A wise man once told me so it probably should depend on whether you have a greater need for some guitar and bass loops; or a male choir, piano, tuned percussion, organ, metallic impact percussion & effects and beatbox samples. Also, once you have Mars, you can email Soundiron for an upgrade to Olympus Symphonic Choir (which effectively gets you Venus); if you do it within the sale period, you'll get a discounted upgrade price too.

It's an online mastering service - you upload your mixes, and there's some AI wizardry (I think, unless I'm thinking of another service) that will 'master' it for you. A lifetime license will be for a lifetime - either that of the user, or of the company whichever comes first. A lot of people seem to complain about lifetime licenses; I personally see them as a better deal than subscriptions (companies will find another way to survive, e.g. selling add-ons, new users, etc). Even if it lasts a year, think of it as a one year subscription; if it lasts longer, all the more value. Also don't forget that with Windows 10 being the 'final' version, your non-OEM license is effectively a lifetime license (you can link your license with your Microsoft Account, meaning that you'll be able to transfer a non-OEM Windows license to another computer).

Ah, I see... so it's a way of 'extending' the sale, but to also give it a sense of urgency. Their stuff sounds great, but their prices are just too high for me to justify.

So the price on AizerX: Trailer SFX Designer Toolkit (currently marked at 75% off) will actually increase if I attempt to use the code?

or people could pay upfront

Forget myspace, Bebo is the latest, greatest, and hippest platform around! ?

Isn't Hotmail part of Outlook now? I've got a Hotmail email I opened ages ago and I've never had any problems using it with any account

When you don't think the upgrade feature-gap is worth the money, simply redirect the funds towards another deal ?

You get a bigger discount the more items you buy - I think I saw somewhere that putting everything in your cart gets you a 65% discount (iirc)

I do too ? I've noticed that Time+Space also sell at a similar price, but have a scheme where existing Dronar users get 20% off - a strategy might be to buy one title first, and then get a bigger discount on subsequent titles in the series.

I've found that Audio Deluxe are quite generous with their Deluxe Bucks

Just had a look - didn't realise it requires a dongle

Great words of wisdom. I've already aborted some potential purchases and redirected towards a few others. Also, don't forget to factor in drive space to the cost.

I'm such a console noob - I'd seen and been using the S-Type/N-Type/A-Type Console Emulation buttons, and E-Type/G-Type EQ buttons for ages, but hadn't made the connection ? Thanks for the advice - I'll still need to properly try out the PA modules (as suggested), but at least I have a better idea of what I'm looking at now.

I picked this one up with one of their $29.99-for-any-plugin vouchers previously, and am thinking about maybe picking up some of the other consoles at some point in the future. Sorry for the naïve question, but is there a general rule of thumb for when it's best to use the Neve (bx_console N), SSL 4000 E, SSL 4000 G, or even the newer SSL 9000 J? Are any of them better suited to any particular genre?

I agree - how would anyone know whether or not a product is suitable without an audio demo? Putting quality aside, it's difficult to know whether an instrument will even 'fit' with a song without being able to hear it.

Hold on to the questionable files for a month or two, and then scan again - the fool will either have been shown to be right (the others will also indicate the same result), or will have changed its mind. It doesn't even look like those three engines in the screenshot agree it's the same malware.

Love how it doesn't even provide audio samples on its own website...

I might be tempted to pick something up in this (depending on what other sales tug on my wallet). Would an existing Melda customer be kind enough to share their referral/discount code? (If there are many, I'll pick one at random)
