    Trying to register Dimension Pro

    Manual activation requires running the standalone synth or the DAW as administrator to get the registration code accepted.

    Once activated, the standalone and DAW do not need to run as administrator.

    It needs to write to the registry to activate the product, correct? I seem to recall encountering a similar challenge a few years ago...

    $200 Discount for Total Studio 2 owners when buying Total Studio 3

    in Deals

    Posted

    Yep I saw that, but I'm left scratching my head on this deal... ?

    No offense to IK but...

    The TS 3 MAX Maxgrade for me from Total Studio 2 MAX is still $299 with the discount credit.

    I already have most of the stuff in TS MAX 3, except for Amplitube 5 MAX, and a few modules that were not included in T-RackS 5 MAX (like the Leslie, Space Delay, and some tape machines), and the ARC System. I guess If I really wanted AT 5 MAX, which is $299 by itself for the upgrade, it might be worth it for TS 3 MAX in order to get the few missing items thrown into the deal. But I am quite satisfied with the AT 4 MAX content in my AT 5 CS. The other odds and ends are not really needed.

    So no soup for me! :)

    At this point most of us know the pattern.  Flash sales through most of the year, group buy sometime during the year, mega sale during Christmas season.  Plan according to your wants and needs.

    Observe the patterns...make your wish list... then only buy from that list when on sale. Avoid the impulse purchases!

    Waves updated to 12.7

    Many plugins are at 12.7 after the update, even though Waves Central still shows 12.0.

    Open a plugin and click on the 'W' icon for an about screen. The actual current version info is displayed.

    Well I am at work and can't remember if this came with AT MAX 4 or not. So I am holding off until either I get home or they yank  it

    SVX2 came with my AT4 MAX.

    Essential Keyboard Collection any good?

    Haven't tried any instruments based on the new struQture audio engine from Qubiq Audio.

    My guess is that it's a new sample player engine using recycled AIR and Sonivox keyboard samples to create an all-in-one instrument, based on this description at Sonivox: https://sonivoxmi.com/products/details/essential-keyboard-collection

    Hopefully it's an improvement because their samples aren't bad, but the old players and UI's left a lot to be desired!

    I've never bothered with LABS because the first one was pretty underwhelming IIRC. 

    Is it something I should have or would it just be adding to the pile of stuff that is fun to play with for 30 minutes, but never actually gets used?

    If you have the Labs Unified version, you can layer the hell out of them. The stock Spitfire player can only do one sound at a time, so yep could see why they may sound boring that way.

    Check out the PluginGuru streaming demo here. He opens playing a cool groove layer.

    Upcoming NVIDIA RTX 3060 purposely cripples mining performance

    I only deal with GOG now as far as acquiring games. I have a second PC with the Steam, Origin (EA), and Ubisoft game clients available if I need to connect online to use any games that were acquired elsewhere, such through Humble Bundle or other online deals.

    But I prefer GOG's methods best going forward, and I have since replaced a few Steam game editions with GOG versions when available and affordable.

    While that does mention Labs, it's not this freebie, and YES, you beat me, but
    only because I wasn't here...LOL!  I had to take my 80 Year old neighbor to her

    If you click on that first link you posted (to Spitfire Labs), that Pipe Organ freebie is 1st on the list...

    Unofficial Windows 10 Audio Workstation build and tweak guide

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Ironically for me it wasn't the FireWire driver that gave up on Windows 10. I still have a good PCIe expansion card for FW with TI, but no use for it now.

    It was the non-existent vendor support for the audio drivers that did me in. The old M-Audio company (formerly Midiman) effectively went out of business the day they were sold by Avid to inMusic Brands in 2012. Their former product line was moved to legacy status.

    It's handy for synth and keyboard players. I understand that guitar players already have boatloads of amp sims and pedals.

    But adding this to your keys is a bit like having fun with stomp boxes. Without having to "borrow" guitar FX gear. :)

    Plus they included plenty of FX chain presets to experiment with...
