Too much money... I'll wait until it's on sale for $29, then hem and haw until I discover that the sale already ended. Tried & true technique.

My favorite at the moment is Thermal by Output. Nice at adding some body & subtle movement without making things ugly. I've never really taken to Saturn, I think it was that I wasn't overly impressed by the presets; really need to a spend night with it delving deeper.

I picked one up but haven't had the time to put it together yet...

I just downloaded and am demoing Transcribe by SeventhString (saw a recommendation for it handling audio files on Reddit). Didn't know it handled MP4's but it does and does a better job at 33% than VLC (at least on the particular video I chose at random). Still playing with it...

Recommendations on an MP4 player that can slow down videos and do a better job than VLC? Trying to pick apart some blazing guitar riffs.. Yeah I know, by the nature of the beast there are issues when downsampling but VLC audio sucks at slower speeds (lack of definition, noise, artifacts) thinking that there's got to be something better out there. Not interested in solutions that ditch the video portion.

Same here... My plugin library already contains a lot of trash, don't know if I need more...

Wow a PA update! Also (depending on your definition of the term) on sale now for $49.99 ($299 MSRP)

@asprog also Dawsome Love updated to v1.50

Same, too expensive for an upgrade IMHO. $50 or less and they would have had my money.

I purchased Falcon last year & I have the voucher, but maybe because I made some significant purchases since BF (e.g. Augmented Orchestra, etc). Maybe drop their support a message & complain that Santa visited all your friends but skipped your house... My email says "As an esteemed Falcon owner, we are happy to offer you..." so not surprised that Falcon is excluded.

Ran NA, it updated and now it's stuck at "Loading Products"

You definitely need to run the VST plugin scanner after updating. Eventide rebuilt their installers so now all the VST3 are located in *.VST3 subfolders (E.G. SplitEQ is now in subfolder SplitEQ.vst3). As long as you run the scanner it shouldn't affect anything.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't have one (a PS5) but my son does.

and some people can live off the land with no reliance with other sources of food/income - doesn't mean it's a viable model for everyone or even most. Apples/Oranges. That's not really a comment on iLok but on the installer tech (in this case Drum Core's); if their online installer broke and you needed to reinstall - it wouldn't matter if the software was protection free or not you're still SOL.

Yeah if only that system worked... The difference in profit loss unfortunately for many companies is the difference between staying in business or not. What bothers me is when companies either get too restrictive - e.g. only one iLok installation, limited installation restrictions, etc.. There's a line between being protective and paranoid. or implement 1/2 @ssed badly implemented protection / installation systems. Another thing I like about iLok is that even if the licensing plugin company goes under the plugin licensing still works. As long as you have access to a working installer you can reinstall/activate the plugin (at least this was true last time I rebuilt my DAW computer). With a company owned license server you're SOL when the website gets taken down unless the company released a self licensing version before going under. Respectfully, My 2 cents; YMMV.

Too bad I already bought when they had it on sale last time. Happy for everyone else though.

Nice thing about the sale is that the renewal price will stay the same, or at least it did for me - I bought in a New Year's sale in '23.

Assuming that you don't want any XLN .aax files: On the XLN Audio Online Installer click on the hamburger on the top right corner then select "Change Installation Formats" then under the Formats tab uncheck AAX Same tweak if you don't want to install VST2 or VST3 versions.

That was an option earlier today, not now. There must have been a limited # of orders allowed or they cancelled all orders.

"This promo has ended." now on 'sale' for $29.99

Too bad (not really, but in this case) that I no longer own a desktop computer.

While not the first, it's a good reminder of a great deal!

Another free update to an already great product!

Ditto... It sounds like NI has adopted a new installer technology for use with their Kontakt libraries and the Native Access app but just speculating as the only info I found on the web was the following: Per Evil Dragon Community (native-instruments.com) "It stands for Digital Content Package. All products will eventually move to this installer method."
