That's how long Melda's Cyber-deals lasts. The code gives 50% off the current price, so I think the price will be ~€149/$181 come Monday.

I know there's a list on 8dio where you can see which 8dio libraries have been ported to Soundpaint, but are there any crossgrade deals to get those Soundpaint libraries on the cheap, if one already owns the Kontakt version?

If only I could apply my street smarts and reading skills into something productive!

There's also a voucher code in the magazine that gives you, within the next three days, the chance to get Melda's full MSoundFactory for $82.

I'd probably pick Vegas up for ~25 and see how it goes. However, I'd still vote for DaVinci as it is widely used in productions big and small, and it's free with a paid option if you ever need to get more features. It might have a slightly steeper learning curve at first, but once you figure out how to use one software it's not too hard to pick up another.

Or that. ~25 dollars for Vegas isn't a bad of a deal, especially when you're starting out. Much more better than Cyberlink's offering anyway.

Might want to go with Resolve DaVinci free: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve

Oh yeah. We had a resident dope plugin dealer on the board. Sign me up too.

Is there any reason to even entertain picking this up when one has a handful of different FET plugins?

It's nice that everything is so clearly laid out that there's no room for intepretation... ...oh wait!

Yeah, when I bought it last year it was Diamond and Gold was separate (with cutdown content or something).

ah schucks. Absolutely right. Brainfart on my part.

Probably with some coupons? Audio Deluxe has it for $29 now: https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/tracktion-fem Might wait a few days to see if another place offers the same deal with a coupon on top...

Was ten bucks cheaper yesterday. I wonder how it works since I the CM version seems to come with a generic licence that you don't even register anywhere. Then there's also the question "Do I even need to upgrade?" that I've yet to figure out. (Most likely I won't, since I got those U-He synths to play around with first.)

I'm really stumped by the fact that no one has bought Plugin Alliance stuff... ?

Almost bit, but historical low seems to be $29.

Magazine is out. No serial provided for Icarus, only a direct download. Not sure if there's any upgrade path yet.

What the title says: Tone2's Icarus 1.6 synth comes free with the January 2024 issue of Computer Music magazine. Supposedly the magazine should be out on the 29th of November. Edit: Icarus 3.0 will release 'soon'. From what I gather, upgrade price will be around 69-89 USD

Has anyone else noticed increased CPU usage by Native Access as of late, especially when downloading Kontakt libraries? Program feels a lot more sluggish than some time ago.

Dammit. That's a great deal. Unfortunately I bought HOOPUS last year (no regrets) and Fantasy Orchestra still has a bit too spicy of a price after all the other purchases.

Quick question. How much is the price of SOLO for you? Just wondering how far the loyalty discounts stack on that one.

Will they send me this when I upgrade from V Collection 9 to 10 for $99?

Those pads are like $5 ... I've spent more on a dry donut... (*ed.note: see the mental gymnastics take place in real time!) Bought.
