You can buy a smaller bundle first and upgrade later. This is how I did it.

I think referral codes may not be posted. If anyone needs one, just let me know.

Transfer fee is once per bundle, but you cannot split bundles.

If you are unsure about some of the plugins, you can demo them for 30 days without any restrictions.

Your personal discount goes up with every product you own.

No GAS on my end.

The Mastering Bundle gives you the multiband compressor, too, which I frequently use. These four are everyday tools I am using most. Depends on what you are looking for, really.

And REs cannot be resold or transferred.

The plugins are just too expensive when looking at the market as a whole. Got R11Suite long ago, updated to 12 for cheap, use Reason as a closed system and am happy with it.

Great stuff. Not too long ago, I said there are cheaper alternatives, and I don't want these hipster plugins around. Then I demoed them for a week, got the mastering bundle second hand and am using it on everything and for everything. Best investment ever. The plugins have tons of features besides being pretty and replace half a dozen other products a piece. Picked up Saturn 2 now.

I attended a seminar on energy efficient programming not long ago. Green software is a topic that is all over the place right now. Perhaps we really should...

I think Rob Papen products are excellent ... great sound, tons of good presets, workhorses. As for "the guy", this is a matter of taste I think. Support has always been super helpful, and you do not have to watch the livestreams if they are not your cup of tea.

Has anyone got experience with this?

Sounds logical. I have modified the title and edited the original post a little to clarify.

Do you have a suggestion for the title? I am happy to change it to avoid misunderstandings.

You have a point. But there are products and services around that can make a working day miserable. And others don't. First world problems deserve a discussion, too.

I purchased TS 2 Max long ago and stayed with it. These mega packages give you a lot when starting out. I uninstalled the stuff piece by piece and now only use Modo Bass 1 and Mixbox. The main problem I have is the integrated shop everywhere. And the dangling carrot. Do they expect me to use my credit card while working? Work and shopping are separate things for me. But that's just me, I have 5 ad blockers in my browser, too. And so the only products in use are the integrated ones.

I will do the same when I find the time.

Do you have any details on the products mentioned above?

Blasphemy!

And I forgot : Voxengo. Great quality, serial, well maintained, no-nonsense style. The same goes for u-he. And I would like to welcome Fabfilter to the club, too.

I put the off topic stuff here: So we can get back to IKM in this thread.

As a start: Reaper - license key for activation, reasonably priced, active community, top notch functionality, stable as hell. Acon Digital Acoustica - license key, great for restoration and editing, also bread and butter stuff. TAL Software - license key, great synths, reasonably priced.
