Edit: See last post for latest update. https://www.meldaproduction.com/changes/ Always keep in mind: Other manufacturers would charge $199 for this Yeah, iZotope!

16 track is no longer. They have introduced three new product tiers. https://www.bitwig.com/de/stories/introducing-three-flavors-of-bitwig-studio-254/ These are already available in the shop. It may be a good thing.

Or at Bestservice with a 40 bucks off coupon they have occasionally.

The best bundle to raise the plugin count.

The search function helps a lot if you want to check what has already been posted.

What is special about this one? Or is it just compressor no. 100 for collectors?

Poor you.

And I don't want to jump through 20 hoops to get a plugin I don't need.

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5, Beta 13 [released 23 June 2023] NEW FEATURES Transfer (Shaper) module: Now has a Unipolar Handling parameter for how negative input is dealt with. Options are: Clip - just outputs the value set at input of zero Reflect - mirrors the curve, letting you draw a symmetric shape from unipolar mode FIXES Transfer (Shaper) Grid module: Now maps the input and output to match the bipolar/unipolar state of the device This is a change to how unipolar cases were handled before; to restore the old behavior, add a Bi → Uni (Level) module before the Transfer Note Delay (Note FX) device: Fixed an issue where it was not reactivating properly [32863] Fixed a potential engine crash after an error on reload of the audio device [32944] Fixed an issue where transients of audio playback could be consumed by delay compensation (regression since beta 9) [32949] Various browser fixes: Pop-up Browser now regains focus when clicking into one of its gray window areas [32871] Restored the close button (X) to the Pop-up Browser when on the All Sources page [32865] Note Clip browser: Clicking on the Note Clip source icon should not change sources [32866] Don't show Update Location (previously called Rescan Location) function in the Browser Settings submenu unless file-system monitoring has been turned off for that location, as it would have no effect Fix crash when opening specific projects [32954] Fixed an assortment of random engine crashes Curve modulators and modules now have a help entry for their browse (folder) buttons

Looks nice. Any experience here with alternatives that have been around for some time? I am just curious and try to find out where to spend my money…

They won't, I guess. And activation is via serial, or key, so let them try… ?

They are on sale right now. And dynamic discounts if you own one or more plugins. And pure quality. Re-sale value, too. I am a happy customer over there.

Also works for the update if you already have MK2. EUR 1.40 after coupon. You see the update price after logging in.

Mixbox is relatively unproblematic. No sound downloads, single installer, all-in-one product. If you only use this, you can avoid most of the trouble.

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5, Beta 12 [released 20 June 2023] IMPROVEMENTS Browser: Bitwig devices and plug-ins now only offer to Show Presets for that device (and the right arrow for toggling that mode) when the device/plug-in has available presets FIXES CPU performance of Bitwig Studio should be improved (another regression from v4.4) Browser preview was often silent when cursoring though samples [32844] Audio input monitoring no longer breaks after recording audio (a regression) [32927] macOS: Newly saved presets now appear in the browser immediately (a regression in beta 11) MIDI files in sound content locations are being shown (a regression from beta v4.4) [32842] Segments (Envelope) Grid module: Now always starts from 0 zero when receiving a high gate signal [32891] MIDI Program Change (MIDI) device: Automation now works again when routing between different tracks (a regression) [32930] Rectangular selection of automation points was loosing points as they scrolled offscreen (a regression) Copy/paste clip or time selection was always including automation, even when Automation Follows Clip Editing was deactivated [32929] Fixed a rare crash when indexing filenames containing huge numbers (>18 digits) [32630] Clips saved while using manual mappings of device parameters can be selected without crashing the app [30786] Old projects that were saved with modules modulating themselves would crash when converting the module to another kind [30270] Keywords (for searching Bitwig's devices, modulators, and modules) will now offer matching devices with have special characters in their names (Ø, /, etc.) [31801] Fixed a crash with the browser and preset discovery [32330] The history of last remote controlled track / device was lost when switching tracks (a regression) Controller API: fixed a bug that could lead to different TrackProxy elements controlling the same RemoteControls [32756] CLAP plug-ins: Fixed a crash with polyphonic modulations [32763]

Agreed. It's good software, and you won't be disappointed for this price if you need a tool like this.

I like the McDSP stuff and Republik percussion. And there are some other great deals there, too. However, as long as you cannot resell REs and they are rather expensive in comparison to the VST market, I try to stay away from Reason Studios's sales.

Not really. Has been lower.

New code which you get for subscribing to their newsletter. 25% off. https://www.siraudiotools.com/purchase.php Until September 23. Great products, including SIR reverb and StandardClip. Interesting bundles.

And? Installed?!

Or you wait for the 20 $ no minimum spend coupons and pay the fee then. You can leave the plugins in your account without paying instantly, no deadline.

I've turned my back on the games they are playing. The consoles, ADPTR stuff and Unfiltered Audio are outstanding, and I have them; the rest is not for me. If you spend 30 bucks a month, it's 360 a year. Phew!

Melda plugins are an excellent investment, and there are very few things they cannot do. Melodyne Studio has been an additional purchase for me, a decent DAW of course, Kontakt for the tons of libraries it gives access to. And mixes I've finished exclusively with Melda stuff have a very pleasant sound. One of the main advantages they bring to the table are the unified GUI features that you only have to learn once. I know, they have a bit of an Excel feeling, but this is something everyone has to decide for themselves.

I would say you can live with this kind of mistake. Have to check for myself.
