That's my understanding, someone correct me if I'm wrong

It would be nice to get a permanent license out of the subscription. Or to have an option to buy Sonar.

Give it a few weeks though before you judge because at first the workflow can be infuriating until you adjust

I get the feeling they are going to go out of business

Interesting, I thought Spire is geared towards EDM also? The preset packs for Spire kind of confuse me that are available thru the Reveal Sound website. A lot of them seem to have a bunch of stuff bundled like construction loops, etc which are not usable in Spire? Is that pretty typical?

Any reason to pick this up over Dune 3 or Avenger 2?

I have to assume they will get rid of the normal professional license which costs way more since it makes no sense to buy it instead of Studio One+ Hybrid...

Obligatory bitching about the upgrade price even though it has been this way for the past decade and should shock no one

I'm a sucker, I ended up paying the $100 extra to upgrade to V9. So V9 + Pigments for $200. Still a good deal but not quite as insanely good as V8 + Pigments for the original $100. Oh well, the new synths and upgraded synths sound amazing so it's worth it!

I'm pretty syked, I used this to get the $49 Pigments. V-Collection 8 + Pigments for $100. . . that's a GOOD DEAL

Pleased to report that I just received my serial # and unlock code and it worked on Arturia's website!

Maybe we're seeing different sites? When I go there it seems normal and has a valid SSL certificate and secure connection. The math is fine as well. I'm in the US. After placing the order I got an order confirmation email that is pretty normal as well. Just waiting on the serial number.

Gotta get your dopamine from somewhere...

Fair enough! I'm waiting for my S/N still. I'm guessing it's a small operation and there's probably one or two people divvying out the serial #'s as they process the orders. If I don't see anything today I'll contact them. I paid with Paypal so worst case I file a claim.

Out of curiosity what about it looks weird and not right?
