Rumors... I've read it somewhere, but got nothing from the horse's mouth to make that absolutely true. Sorry.

Maybe it's good that Microsoft won't let me upgrade to windows 11 after all! I'm now more happy to stick with Windows 10, rather than upgrade!

Microsoft ended support for Windows 7... I wonder if any gamers still use it to play any games online? I believe Steam also ended support for Windows 7 too... So, if Microsoft and Gaming software companies end support for certain windows OS, that could force many to upgrade or just be left out. I wonder if Microsoft is the reason Steam no longer supports windows 7?

The problem is, I paid $4000 for top of the line laptop in 2015, and it still keeps up with the latest hardware, including NVME PCIe M.2 2280 RAM chipsets. I'm currently running V-NAND SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 on this laptop! I can run the latest NVMe M.2, but my job situation has changed. I went from making $100k / year to $30k / year due to my own fault. I'm working my way back up the ladder again, until then I'm just looking for best deals for my song writing hobby.

More like Linux instead... I prefer Debian 11 64bit. I've got it on one of my computers right now. I can play Team Fortress 2 and use Reaper on it!

SaaS wagon?

When Waves Audio was pushing subscription only plans, they created a sour taste in everyone's mouth. Windows 11 is doing the same, but I don't think they know how badly it's going to hurt their customer base, because they are so big. At least Waves Audio was quicker to fix issues than Microsoft. I foresee the end days of Microsoft coming soon...

Yeah.. I can't upgrade to windows 11 due to my machine. Even windows tells me I can't upgrade to windows 11! I've got a i7-6700HQ, which is part of the "unsupported" processor. I'm sticking with windows 10 or I might move to Debian. Then I can run windows 10 on top of Debain using virtual box, that way, Debian can protect windows from any future security issues!

Track dropped?

Just curious if how long the wait (if any) till the EzKeys 2 core system goes on a huge discount sale...?

Transmutator is my most favorite!

The really bad thing is, my Roland Edirol PCR-300 midi keyboard was created just for Cakewalk Sonar Producer. There's a button on it that pulls up a midi controller menu straight from Sonar Producer! I actually had to Jerry rig windows 10 to force accept the driver in order to get it working in Windows 10! So, yeah.. I'll always keep Sonar Producer 8.5.3 running, no matter what other DAW I choose. I can't afford to get new equipment as I'm not a PRO in this industry. Having access to the midi controller is important to me.

Cough cough... Reaper.. I still own Sonar Producer 8.5.3. I have BandLab Cakewalk, but haven't used it in a long while. I've been mainly using Reaper since you can program scripts for it and the customization is off the charts. Reaper is also cheap ($60) for those of us that is doing this just for fun. Sometimes I'll use Reaper as a rewire plugin into Sonar Producer so I can have access to VST3 in Sonar.

2 TB 970 Evo Plus m.2 Gen 3 $114.99 https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-970-evo-plus-nvme-m-2-2-tb-mz-v7s2t0b-am-buy/

Great idea, cause last time I upgraded to K6 player when I had K5 full, it really messed up my K5 libraries... Like I got reduced access to libraries I once had, saying it required "full" access. After updating to Komplete 14, getting K7 full fixed that issue some how?

Komplete Kontrol is a mess. I had to wait hours for it to "scan" all my libraries, then for it to not really help speed up finding sounds I want or know I have! Waves Studio Rack is much better, plus it has parallel processing, macros, band splitting abilities built right in!

It's the something wrong with K7? I got it full with Komplete 14.

Does that mean that someone is manually entering in the serial numbers for each user?

LOL... I just got on the computer... try and try as I might... I can't get this to work. I'll try again another day ?

Hi. I got Ozone Standard from the Komplete 14 upgrade. I'm curious if it's worth upgrading the Ozone to advanced or should I save my money OR is should I wait for a better deal? This song was done without Ozone: and this is remastered with Ozone (I did add bass and organ, but Ozone seemed to glue everything together anyways): I can't seem to understand the differences on standard vs advanced. Can you explain in your own words the difference or what your opinion on if I should grab that deal or not?

Edit: I guess you don't have to download it right away, just get the serial number and register... Download later when others aren't?

According to my Acronis backup software, From one of my Samsung SSD (which clearly says SSD on it) to the WD 2 TB drive, I was getting 500 Mbps transfer speed, so I thought it was okay, but after Starship Krupa pointed out what he found did I dig deeper. Next time I'll fully research a product before posting. I apologize for any inconveniences this has caused.

Well that pisses me off, cause if you go to specs on the Office Depot website it says "Rotational Speed 0 RPM", which would indicate it's a SSD. I even checked western digital website and there's no indication of what it is... Other than a hard drive... I will change the title. I wonder if I can still take this back after using it once, I could wipe the drive and take it back? Or should I keep it? I've seen better deals on spinners, and didn't realize that is one because of false advertising!

I've heard bad things about Air not updating software when it bugs out.

That's if it's easy to cancel. I wouldn't even try, cause I've been burned a few times with deals like this.. where you can't find a cancel button on the website, or it doesn't work and you get charged. They might be having a holiday when you try to cancel. Crazy stuff happens when you try to cancel. The other issue is, now that you used the software, it's been on your computer. How well do they handle uninstalling it? Does the software leave residue on your computer after uninstalling? I only install / demo software I plan to keep.
