That phrase doesn't fill me with confidence. Wonder what complications are going to await us.
Probably trying to fix leakage... I.E. serial #'s that got out, were hacked, etc.
 

Softube "Icons" the Compressor collection

On Sale $199 MSRP $299

Extra 10% discount with code ICONICFET

Classic, legendary… iconic. The compressors in this collection—FET Compressor Mk II, OPTO Compressor, and VCA Compressor—are modeled on three of the most popular, most used compressors in the world. Important and influential gear that set a standard in the ‘60s and ’70s and never stopped. Outstanding then, outstanding now. Even more so.

That's because we've added features fit for current times. From Drive and the Stereo Link switch to the Sidechain section, this set gives you more control and tailoring capabilities than before. Icons: The Compressor Collection is an indispensable mix of modeling authenticity and modern workflow. It's destined to be a studio star in its own right.

If you already own any of these - go to the web page and check to see the lavish, generous discount that you as a valued customer are being offered!
In my case since I already own the FET model (1/3 of the collection) my total discounted price (with coupon code) is $134 which technically is 1/3 off of $199.

Saw ?️‍?⃤  Pink Floyd 1975 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena - great show in spite of the massive obtrusive presence by the LAPD (511 arrested - most for marijuana related charges).
Then again for the 1994 Division Bell tour at the Rose Bowl - great shown, phenomenal sound.

I think I'm going to crossgrade my Cubase Pro 12 to Nuendo 12...from what I understand I'll still be able to run my Cubase 11 Pro and older with my eLicenser and my Cubase Pro 12 will remain active and upgradeable...got that from a Nuendo guy at the steinberg forum.

Bill

Curious about this as well.
Seeing lots of misinformation on the Steinberg forum - not seeing** anything posted by Steinberg directly stating things clearly.
**maybe I just missed it...

Part of the crossgrade process use to be surrendering your Cubase license.
A couple of forum user's claim that has changed with v12 and that you now can keep your Cubase but it becomes non-upgradable (some claim otherwise),
but none of the info appears to 1st handed (i.e. I did it and here's what happened to me...) or directly from Steinberg.    

Minimally you should still be able to run your Cubase 11 Pro with your eLicenser, It would be nice if the crossgrade left you with a functional/upgradable v12.

The My Waldorf link in the header does not work. You need to use the one on the bottom of the page.

Also all my license keys are gone, except the one from my last purchase (Streichfett plugin) that I bought directly from Waldorf.

The purchases I made from APD, Best Service, etc that I had previously registered on the Waldorf old site are gone.

I hope this is only a temporary glitch.

 

No issues here.
I know that doesn't help you but just to let you know.

That is in error.

I took a pass on Falcon w/expansions.

WTF?
That was an option?
Doesn’t that violate forum rules?

I always heard pro was a pain in win 8 and 10 ...some goodies on side and issues on the other ....

so no way to control defender in home ?

Frankly Zo I've never installed anything but Pro on my computers going back to XP.  The expanded RAM capacity support, support for Remote Desktop and better control of updates & security features alone make it a necessity to me.
The value of Pro really boils down to your system & your planned usage.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that technically, installing an OEM licence on a device that didn't came with said licence is just as illegal as using a cracked copy. Only less trackable, I guess...

You may be right but even Microsoft doesn't stand firm on this...

Per Answers.Microsoft

There is nothing illegal on buying a OEM key as long as it is official. There are a lot of legitimate sites over the web or online like Amazon or EBay.

or 

Are OEM Windows legal? - Microsoft Community

Hi,
I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Yes, OEMs are legal licenses. The only difference is they cannot be transferred to another computer.

There appears to be 2 types of OEM licenses - OEM, & OEM Retail?
Not sure about this but there is confusing info put out by Microsoft MVPs about it.

I suspect the key issue really boils down to usage - if you're a system builder or a company looking to upgrade multiple computers probably best get official licensing. 
If I'm installing an OS for a client I don't buy OEM,  I'll go to EBay or Amazon and buy full retail and pass the cost on. I don't need business hassles.
If I'm building a machine for me or my kids I'll go OEM** if I don't have a Regular retail available.
**MS will not provide Windows support with an OEM version but when your kids have 'DAD' level support that doesn't matter.

how long did it take for you to get your voucher?

I'm still on the fence about this, I should probably go ahead and get it.

Almost instantly (actually a minute or two) after I registered it.
It appeared in my account and they also sent me an email with the code.

I've been waiting for something like this.

Been using my old MSDN account licenses not knowing when they'll finally die.
Nice to have one or two licenses in my pocket just in case.

So...

I ended up picking up Falcon and 2 libs.
I then took my $100 voucher and bought 8 more Falcon libs - with the voucher and the sale my total out of pocket cost was $54.29  (I always wonder how Falcon users ended up with so many libraries).

Wish I would have checked out what their UVI Dual Delay X would have cost in combination with my other items before pulling the trigger.  I really like the way it sounds, how intuitively the controls are laid out, etc.
Even though I've got too many delays I really regret not picking this up at the $29 intro price when it came out.  

On one hand I want to thank everyone for their help/info ? - thanks, I got a killer deal!
on the other hand not sure I'll be feeling the same way at the end of the month if I end up having Ramen for dinner for a week 'cuz I broke my budget.
Well they** say you're not an artist unless you suffer for your art.

Lowest I can hit for same is $190.95 on AudioDeluxe , $212.86 on UVI
What secret wizardry are you employing to achieve that magical discount? 

So... is it worth $22 to buy it at UVI?  I.E. do you get vouchers that make up the difference?

Also is the $100 Falcon voucher you get if you buy it now usable during the during the current sale?

I would try and send them another email. 

I did that and they immediately fixed things.

Note:
A bit of a derp on my part I just found a follow up reply (from the prior set of conversations) saying that I should ask for a refund (on my 6 or 7 upgrade) because the upgrade from v8 was $20 cheaper but if I didn't want to hassle that they could swap licenses.  I totally missed that reply because I thought they were done with the conversation.
So cudos to them for the offer.  Since I bought the upgrade on sale at JRR don't think Steinberg shop would have had it cheaper even with the $20 discount but appreciate that they mentioned it.
 

Works on v3 upgrade, knocks it done to $75
 

$244 for Falcon without vouchers (if they even work for this sale)

Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 9 - Upgrade from SpectraLayers Pro 6 or 7  $59.99

I had SpectraLayers Pro 6 then upgraded to Pro 8.

Pro 9 won't activate because it can't find 6 or 7 in my eLicenser.
Steinberger is saying that I'm SOL because I don't currently have 6 or 7 (even though I can produce a Pro 6 license#).
Not happy about this.

Hi Peter,

I agree with a number of points/issues you've raised.
One of the problems I've had with 8dio is as you say "I find that the quality is all over the board".  

Being that various Spitfire libs (Originals Intimate Strings, Originals Epic Strings) were recently on sale for $17 and still sell at $29 - I don't know if this 8dio collection is really even a contender.
