IKM Website says: Full 14 day free trial period Damn if I can find it. No demo/trial option on web site or in Custom Shop. Only options I'm seeing are to purchase...

You don't have to imagine - just blink. The trick is to do it one eye at a time so you can still see it all happen...

I'd be interested in how either (or both) compare against Phase Plant.

I got the proper code the 1st time from JRR. About the same amount of hassle (registering iLok, activating, etc.) as an Eventide plugin.

Once upon a time... Changed my avatar shortly after migrating over from Cakewalk to Bandlab forum.

Woot! Been looking forward to this.

This or Phase Plant? I might be able to afford one but not both. Or maybe I should wait till Massive X is released.

re "they all said I'd amount to nothing in life." Maybe they were being optimistic? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Arghhh! My eyes! I - can't - unsee- it! I stumble around blindly around looking for that jug of mental bleach... Thank goodness the speech-to-text (or in this case screech-to-text) converter was switched or my agony would only be shared with my 4 walls and my cats. Found it!

Since PayPal won't accept $0 transactions you have to buy something at the same time else to get it. You just have to select no payment required option. Must have missed seeing it first time around.

I have it and have used it. The ability to use any plugin or combination of plugins in a multiband scenario and control/automate any** parameter of it (such as the widths of the bands) or the plugins used - make this a beast. **at least everything I tested it on. Possible Cons: No built in LFO(s) I saw a post somewhere that that there's phase issues at the crossover frequencies. Don't know if this is true or not, I have not noticed this, at least with what I've been doing or seen other instances of complaint. And I don't know if MB7s phase issues are any worse that any other non-linear phase multiband or EQ plugin. If it sounds like something you're interested in check out the demo version. With some of these multi-featured plugins (Kilohearts, Melda, etc) its more a matter of whether they fit your style as opposed to whether or not they can do the job.

(queue up you favorite blues backing track, take 2 shots of bourbon, hit record and scream into a cheap mic...) If you been moaning & postponing about spending money on this honey Waiting to buy it tomorrow may cause you sorrow because they say the sale ends today! So don't let me hear you whining in the morning because boy <or girl> I gave you warning that this deal that Larry posted has died and gone away... Don't be crying in your salad that the deal has gone invalid cuz the deal that Larry posted has expired and gone away... <guitar solo...>

My first 'big' HD was a 40MB drive from Micropolis - cost over me over $700 and I only got it that cheap because my friend was an employee there and got me a special discount.

$99 is the regular price? or sale price? and if on sale - till when?

Voxengo has released SPAN Plus version 1.6 - an extended real-time "fast Fourier transform" audio spectrum analyzer plug-in for professional music and audio production applications. https://www.kvraudio.com/product/span-plus-by-voxengo SPAN Plus is an extended version of the freeware SPAN plug-in: SPAN Plus provides several additional features such as PNG file export, real-time spectrum import/export and static spectrums display. Version 1.6 includes the following changes: Implemented EBU-R128 "LUFS" and "LU" metering modes. Implemented "True Peak" peak level and clippings detection. Added 1/24 octave spectrum smoothing option. Added AIFF sound file support to Static spectrum load function. Increased resolution of saved static spectrum files. Added "Blackman" and "Hi-Res" spectrum window types. This version improved smoothness of real-time graphics draws on Windows systems, now graphics is drawn with a lot better timing precision and less stuttering. This, however, may increase CPU load in comparison to the previous version: if this is unacceptable to you, simply decrease the "Frames Per Second" global Voxengo plugin setting. SPAN Plus is designed to provides a very flexible "mode" system which you can use to setup your spectrum analyzer preferences. You may specify Fourier block size in samples, FFT window overlap percentage, spectrum's visual slope. Beside that you can choose to display secondary spectrum of a desired type (e.g. real-time maximum, all-time maximum). Spectrum can be smoothed out visually for an easier examination. SPAN Plus supports multi-channel analysis and can be set to display spectrums from two different channels or channel groups at the same time. Spectrum's color can be chosen to taste. SPAN Plus also features output level metering with adjustable ballistics and integration time, K-metering (including calibration K-metering). SPAN Plus displays level metering statistics, headroom estimation and clipping detection. Correlation metering is available as well. SPAN Plus features: Real-time spectrum import/export. PNG file export. Static spectrums display. Output signal power statistics. Spectrum smoothing. User interface window resizing. True peak and clipping statistics. Correlation meter. EBU R128 LUFS/LU metering. K-metering. Stereo and multi-channel analysis. Mid/side analysis. Internal channel routing. Channel grouping. Preset manager. Undo/redo history. A/B comparisons. Contextual hint messages. All sample rates support. Retina and HighDPI support. Price: $49.95.

Hmmm.. Got my 12 Komplete Update today... No Kontakt 6. WTF? I only bought K12 for Kontakt 6 and (when it's finally released) Massive X. Apparently Kontakt 6 is now just called Kontakt. Native Access shows version 6.1.1 installed.

Major Lame. Don't think they really care. It's like with Play6, that should have been a free upgrade from day 1. Someone in marketing is more interested in milking the Benjamins than happy customers.
