  1. If I recall correctly the car was originally called the Tri Nova. According to the story it was a cursed name because Tri Nova translated from Spanish to 3 No Go, a bad luck name. But according to some sources on the web that's not true because that's a bad Spanish translation (wrong verb for that expression). Or how about when SaveOn drugs got bought out and changed their name to Osco Drugs (phonetic for terrible or gross drugs). At least in Southern California it was quickly changed back as hispanic customers (a large % of their business) refused to shop in their renamed stores. per Wikipedia: The name "Osco" did not resonate well with Sav-on's Southern California customer base. American Stores eventually made the decision to change the name of the former Sav-on stores back to Sav-on Drugs. Rumors circulated at the time claiming that the reason for the name change back to ‘Sav-on’ was due to "Osco" having the same pronunciation as the Spanish word "asco" (oss-ko), which means "nausea" or "disgust", a considerable factor within Southern California's heavily Hispanic market. This explanation for the name change was refuted by American Stores.
  2. What he^^ said
  3. Nice... Couple of minor nits - could have had USB-C or thunderbolt ports. But still - wish my budget could accommodate picking one up.
  4. XLN does constantly tweak their stuff, they're just not vocal about it. For example: M1 and Monterey support (November 16th, 2021) All XLN Audio products have native support for M1 Macs and macOS Monterey with the latest versions.
  5. Interesting... Be a bit more interesting if they gave a slightly bigger discount to MetaPlugin owners.
  6. Ah... the joy of owning the PA version - cost less/less updates. Maybe PA will surprise me and offer it before v5 comes out. Maybe Santa will bring me a pony. Not sure which is more likely...

    AKG P120 Mic

    Reminder with SDOTH $69 is the price in cart (all day today).
  8. Handy little tool at a no brainer price...
  9. I'd only get this drive if I could afford 2 (so that I could mirror them in a RAID). Putting all your eggs in one basket is a recipe for disaster. Been bit before. But if I could afford to do that - 18TB would be nice.
  10. Same here... That's 2 more than me. Edit: Correction I picked up 2 during the merger sale... So far one 4Evah29. Will end up with at least 3 before I bail.
  11. Been interested in checking this one out for a while
  12. I see what you did there... but you did peak my interest in checking it out.
  13. I actually ended up passing on this. Didn't really care for most of the presets.
  14. Fixed - need to have presets loaded for it work. ++++++++++++ Hi Steven, please just be sure the REEVERB XT unit (in ShineVerb) is set to ON (the Bypass/ON button on the upper-left corner of REEVERB XT blue unit). Please be sure to also install the factory presets library - you'll find everything in the demo package. Once the factory presets are installed into the proper folder (see included instructions) you'll be able to select and load each presets from ShineVerb GUI too.
  15. Does this work in Cakewalk? I was interested in checking this out but both the VST2 & VST 3 demo versions are non-functional (at least on my system). The only thing working is the GUI and the beeping every minute.
  16. Initial Audio Sektor updated to 1.6.2 Hi there, we have just updated Sektor to version 1.6.2 fixing a crash in some daw’s that occurred in certain scenarios. We have also been able to reduce cpu usage thanks to code optimizations. The update is available in my account at the updates tab. The full version installers have been updated as well. https://initialaudio.com/ Version 1.6.2 Fixed a crash in some daw’s that occurred in certain scenarios. v1.6.1 info:

  17. Sale ends (after?) today
  18. Say Hello to Less offending than extending 'that' digit but gets the idea across just as succinctly. When pressed the button lights up and flashes while the builtin voice yells "HELL NO!" For an even more dramatic effect - get the celebrity audio option that has Samuel L. Jackson yelling "HELL NO M***** ******!" Sure to enlighten even the most clueless - only an additional $15 at check out.
  19. $25, and they still do, just not with the impact they use to. Whether that with change back probably will depend on how well PA's subscription offering goes. If it becomes a real money maker then they'll have little incentive to undercut it. Maybe, need tends to be a subjective thing... I've been burned waiting for BF sales before, we've had a year or two not that long ago where the audio deals were fairly meager. BUT in reality most plugins are luxuries rather than necessities. You could turn out master pieces just with the plugins that come with Cakewalk. Heaven forbid I be the instrument causing you to pry the currency out of your wallet to ply your DAW with ephemeral objects of software construction causing your family to go hungry - that's Larry's job. I was just stating my decision and objectives.
  20. At this moment maybe the point of these sales is to encourage you to buy into a subscription. You look at these sales and their prices and think that's 2 or 3 times what the sub price is... PA is hoping that enough people will bite then forget or decide not to cancel their sub. I decided to join in to round out my collection and picked up Sculpt and in the coming months will pick up Black Box HG-2 MS bx_console AMEK 9099 bx_crispytuner and maybe Suhr SE100 After that it becomes a hard sell to keep the subscription as I've been picking off the choice PA plugins as they've come up on sale over the years. If I forget to cancel I may end up with a couple of $1 coupons to hold incase something new & interesting comes out. Or maybe that'll be a strategy like picking a Toontrack 6 pack even though there's nothing you currently want. But regardless - for me it's definitely going to be limited run subscription.
  21. I'll get it next month for $29 + $1.
  22. Did you like it? For me it's a tempting price but I've already got several other options that aren't getting enough of my attention.
  23. When I was a kid I thought it was funny to sing this to my mom, I'd sing it then we'd both laugh. Lol - Just realized that the lead vocal alternates sides each verse... Don't recall noticing that before even though I've heard this song countless times, maybe I've just for gotten.
  24. Hmm.. I'm seeing $41.25 and that's with code and already owning a couple... Not that that is still not a great deal.
