Looking for a little help or conformation. Got total studio Max 4 this year. It would probably be best for me to wait on an upgrade sale or "maxgrade" rather than participate in this group buy, correct? Like this deal from July:

Its been a while for me and groove3, but I believe there were key commands to get the online player to playback at faster speeds but cant seem to figure them out now. Anyone know? edit: The speed button at the bottom of the player window now showed up. Guess I had my window to small or something.

How is it? Considering this my voucher purchase as well though probably don’t need it lol

Would love to hear your thoughts between the two!

Is this probably the best price one can expect for Deess?

Question for those who know about SynthMaster, would it be smart or dumb to upgrade from player to SynthMaster 2 for $19 when SynthMaster 3 is close to release? Is there any grace period being offered?

When was the $50 sampletank deal and how did I miss it? It feels like I check this forum 5xs a day lol!

Apparently this was $12 in a pervious deal like this from 2022. Anyone know if they have been updated to be apple silicon native?

Looks like it stacks on the komplete sale / upgrades. Is there anything for $0.50 to put me over the $200 threshold?

Any idea how long it will be at this price? edit: or if it’s this price on sale often

For many DAWs, they would be at least at version 16 by now given all the free .x (point) updates over the decade. Hard to believe Logic 10 was released in 2013 and just now its being named 11. And amazingly it seems to be a free upgrade for current users! What other DAW does this?! Extremely cool for budget conscious music producers! But yeah, I dont know why they chose THIS update to be 11. Seems there were previous updates more impactful and worthy of the name upgrade, at least based on what I've read so far on the new features which seem to be upgrade instruments and effects and not much upgraded DAW functionality . My biggest question is if Logic 11 projects will open in Logic 10? Was considering upgrading my laptop later this year, but if that makes my projects incompatible with my desktop studio, I might hold off (unless of course you can still instal Logic 10).

Interesting. I thought Hans was a U-he guy?

Anyone have feedback on forbidden planet? I already have my bases pretty covered orchestrally, but the orchestrator function in Hollywood orchestra seems like fun and if forbidden planet adds some value I might bite.

Doesn’t seem to be working for me. Is this for new users only?

Black Friday was slightly better deals. If you need them now it’s a good price, if not wait.

Yeah I was going to ask if anyone reaches for these over tonex?

Is it still useful / relevant? Or played out?

Just started in on the UVI bandwagon thanks to the image-line bundle & subsequent purchases, but do not yet have falcon. Does falcon go on sale often? Has it ever been this low before? Doing a quick google people claim it goes on sale at least once a year but searching this forum I cant seem to find any sales on falcon itself, only expansions. p.s. deal is good until march 18th

Thanks Solidos! I at first thought you got all 3 freebies for any Komplete (which would be a deal) but now realize you do not, so you are correct there is little point of upgrading now and should just wait until the inevitable 50% off sale

Wow this is getting confusing. So apparently you cannot "downgrade" from the different tiers, so if you say upgrade from K10 to K13u, you cannot buy K14s. Seems odd to me to deny sales but apparently thats how it works. But others say if you have another base license in your account, you can run two paths at the same time? I do have an old KOMPLETE 5 registration as well as a VERY old Kontakt 2, so I guess in theory its possible that one of these is upgraded to K14s. How I would specify which Komplete I'm upgrading I have no idea, but as I mentioned I do see both paths available in my offers. I'm just concerned that if I go to K14s that I'm now stuck on the standard level - though I guess I would still show an ultimate license in my account so I should still be able to upgrade back to that path.... Or perhaps its not worth all the worry for a free Groth and I should just use the tools I have lol!

Yeah my NI account shows I can upgrade to either path ($199 K14s, $399 K14u) but the real question is if this will somehow knock me off the ultimate path.

I'm tempted myself, but does anyone know how the NI upgrades / updates work with Komplete and their different tiers? I started with Komplete 10, but for Komplete 13 decided on the "ultimate" tier. Am I able to drop down to Komplete 14 "standard" to take advantage of this deal, and later continue to "update" to ultimate in the future? Also if someone does this deal can you report how the free products are distributed? Are they automatically registered to your account, or are the SN? I already own Lunaris 2 and hopefully would be able to sell this additional license?

Didnt see this posted, so here I go with my first (I think) deal post! Get Komplete 14 and enjoy free NKS plugins For a limited time, we’re offering extra free plugins from our friends at AVA Music Group, Luftrum, and Wavelet Audio when you buy or step up to Komplete 14. Unlock a do-it-all synth suite with UNITY Nostalgic Synth, dive into an immersive pad collection with Lunaris 2, and explore unique Viking-style cinematic tools from Groth – all NKS-compatible and ready to roll. Offer ends April 3. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/komplete/komplete-friends-offer-2024/

SmartEQ has extra functionality yes, but its also functions as an EQ with autogain, band soloing, and multiple filter shapes / dynamic ability. Trying to figure out if Claro offers anything unique or any reason why one would choose it over SmartEQ in a mix? Unsure why this constituted a "strange post" reply, but then I'm a strange guy! But I do appreciate your insight, especially in regards to sonnox pricing and products potentially becoming abandonware. Good things to consider.

Thoughts vs Sonible SmartEQ? Also wonder if this means a new version is coming this year, probably adding dynamic EQ.
