Rational

So smart. Someone is thinking.

I have two. Already got rid of them. Or so I thought. It's the 5 grand kids that keep popping up each day now. The youngest (13 months) jumps for joy each time he bangs on the piano keyboard. He loves it! My room full of music gear here is his favorite place in the world right now. Got him drumming with drumsticks every time he comes into the room. Such a big smile on his face each time. Edit: So actually he's made more music than me in the last month that I have in years.

Thanks for that link. It's good to know users can still download the older versions if they are having issues with the latest. In looking through the list I noticed "Guarneri Violin". Never heard of it. Looked in my Native Access and I have it downloaded already as part of K14UCE. Takes up 24.47GB! This is just a reminder that I already own more than I even know and don't really need to be scouting more stuff all the time. ... But I'm addicted and most likely will. Thanks for the link.

Bought it. Thanks.

Wait. We're actually supposed to make music with all this gear and software? Oh man... I thought I was winning by having more then everyone and getting it cheaper. I'm still mad I didn't have cash on hand a month ago when Melda everything bundle was $560 at JRRshop. I'm still on the hunt for that one to pop up again! But sadly I'm completely tapped out now after BF/CM and if it does I'll really be pissed.

I grabbed 'em yesterday from Sweetwater when then had a few more come in. Had 4 left when I ordered last night. Gone today. So keep an eye out from retailers and grab 'em when they have some stock. I've heard only incredible reviews on these. Well there were like three bad ones by owners questioning if they had a bad pair and others asking if they plugged the cable in all the way. lol

I read that as buttfizzer at first. Wasn't sure I wanted to check it out.. But I guess since it's actually bitfuzzer I will..? Hmmm. I'm on the rim on this one. Edit: Well, he looked so satisfied in the youtube thumbnail I decided to give it a go. A freebie is a freebie.

I fell asleep to the latest 'what's new' biab 2024 video on youtube. It's so long. Best lullaby ever. Haha. Every year they add a ton more to it except make it modern and cool and less robotic. Disclaimer: I have bought it twice now over the years. I should probably finally use it. I might actually like it.

Is their BF sale over? Ethera Gold 2.5 says it's 50% off at 50 but shows up as 69 when I put it in my cart. Also, I own Ethera EVI, Soundscapes 2.0 and Ethera 2 cinematic vocal. So how do I get upgrade discounts with them? I'm so tired now from all the shopping... ugh.

I got the orchestra essentials this week. What's the upgrade price to the orchestra and complete 3 from essentials? If it's compelling enough of a price I might bite.

Haha. Yep. But I wouldn't tell you to do anything I'm not going to do as well. Which is buy these here this week while they're on sale! Just finalizing a few other purchases before clicking buy on these bad boys on the 1st when the sale ends. Looking forward to hear how you like 'em.

I don't see it list the orchestra essentials though in the list of approved dependencies. "Crossgrade from Best Service Complete Orchestral Collection, Complete Classical Collection, or String Essentials " Or does it count? I'd get it for $79 if it did. Might need to ask Uncle E? I asked bestservice via email and will share their response if it is.

I'm so glad they are smart enough to set the date until 12/31. I'm in. Wouldn't have the money now anyway with all the other stuff I'm buying. Really like all they've done on the 2.0 upgrade. Sounds incredible as always and the features are even better. Nice.

Yes it is. I'm definitely getting it this year after skipping it the last two years. Halion 7 is an awesome one by itself never mind the other stuff.

Yep. Me too. IK does this every year. I won't be buying into their group buy promotions anymore. New customers get the better deal by just buying one product and then upgrading to TS Max. Then only upgrading when the whole package is updated. For us who have been there forever they try to get us to do the GB and then still want $199 to upgrade to the latest ts max the next year while only providing a couple of new items in the package. Meh. No thanks. They really need to make a TS Max upgrade $99 and allow us to use those points that are never worth using. I have $273 in jamuselesspoints now that never get used.

I grabbed it last night. Thanks for the heads up on this. Was watching this one since last year but never pulled the trigger until now. Looks promising.

Agreed. Don't want to miss this one. I'm getting it for sure. I had my eye on hollywood orchestra back in the day and never went for it. But with the recent gui updates and all plus the bonus it's an easy decision.

Thanks guys. I finally bought it last night. Was hemming and hawing over dropping $600 on it for hours last night but finally gave in. It's a top quality package so worth it in my opinion. It's also just been updated for M1 capability. So good to see them keeping it up to date. The only thing it doesn't come with is the "MULTI CHANNEL LOUDNESS BUNDLE" which is an additional $129. I've got 4 sets of NS-10s I have been planning for years to use as a 7.1 surround setup. Might get around to that 'next year' perhaps. So might wait on this final package until next BF. Also, Dom Sigalas has a nice review of it on his channel. And if you search YT for this video "Adding Vocal Reverb with TC 8210 Classic Reverb", he nails the reverb on this song with the 8210. Wow. Check out 3:15 and after into that video.

Yep.

Dang. I think I'm finally going to get VSX. Been putting it off for two years plus now. Finally time it seems. The glowing reviews keep pouring in. Even my fav psytrance producer lives on them daily the past few years now he says. They even just added two new rooms I'd read. Think I'll order from sweetwater for $399 unless you know a less expensive place?

Thanks. Looks promising. Can't find the versions tab nor code yet though.

Ah, okay. Thanks Craig. Now it makes sense. Will do. Appreciate it!

Hey Zo, So did that option popup for you only after owning the Icon series bundle first? I wonder if it's still possible to grab it all for $388 this year? I'm about to drop $599 on this tomorrow but hey, $388 sounds better for sure.

Thanks for the tips. Speaking of BF upgrade prices, I don't see them this year either sadly. Oz from last year's TC sales thread here said he was able to get the whole bundle for $388! Man... I wished I'd had known then. Thinking about spending $599 today on it. But before I do. Do you or anyone else know if TC puts the upgrade prices on sale anytime else throughout the year? Or the entire bundle for less than $599? I already own the LM6 bundle. So am trying to maximize my savings in getting everything. Thank you if you know or have any advice. PS. My first post here! I've been on KVR since around 2000. Good to finally post here. Been meaning to for years. KVR has kept me spending enough so haven't ventured around.
