Not new, but I missed it.

In the same house, you can get 50 ms latency. This is 100ms round trip latency on blue cats connector plugin.
Are you using WiFi or Ethernet?
If WiFi - try running Ethernet cable(s) to your router, it should make a significant difference.
I've got a 100ft cable running from router in living room to my office.
You can pick up ready made Ethernet patch cables on Amazon for cheap.
Amazon.com Cat5e 50FT Network Ethernet Patch Cable
Amazon.com: Cat 6 Ethernet Cable 100 ft
Latency in Ethernet cables is roughly 5 ns per meter - so not an issue for 100ft cable.

Do you mean instruments? Cause I am definitely thinking of selling my Dobro.
The strat and the Acoustic are staying though.
I've already listed some of my mics.
There was once a time when I would buy a new toy to try to reignite my passion for music. That seems to have passed too.
I'd park the gear away for a couple of years and then see how you feel.
Decent mics/instruments will probably gain value and get a higher selling price (probably a better return than many types of investment).
Plugins and various types of electronics probably not.

He's pretty good, but take that capo off and he's nothing!!! ?
My story^
Someone stole my capo and now I can't even tune my nylon string guitar. ?
My career arc destroyed overnight.
I never mention that I only have one nylon string guitar (a Costco special) and it's a POC.
The demo in the store sounded way better, mine's very dead sounding in an odd meh sort of way.
My own fault - I should have opened the box in the store and checked it out before paying for it. It was on sale, bought it on a whim and stuck the box in my closet before flying out to Utah to take care of my dad. When I got back around 4 months later I didn't feel right about returning it after that length of time; if I had paid more I might have been pissed off enough to try and get my money back.
Probably TMI-

BTW if you're using Windows and pulling your hair out regarding NA/Kontakt issues you might want to check out this older thread about same/similar subject and the suggested fixes.
-
Whenever I update NA it then takes forever to fully install, resync, etc.. sometimes hours.
Last time I finally gave up and shut it down and when I ran it later it seemed happy.
It now comes up OK, not immediately but reasonable and I can update things but the spinning circle in the upper left will continue spinning for 20 minutes or so regardless of whether there's updates or not.-

https://8dio.com/products/intimate-studio-strings?variant=41310021746888
It's flash sale now $38 until 14th. but seems not worth as reading here
Take a look at Spitfire Audio Originals Intimate Strings which is selling for $29.
579 reviews getting a 4.8 average out of 5
Just listen and compare the walkthroughs between the two.
I think that the 8dio version has a lot more articulations, etc. but if you don't like the way the library sounds - does that matter?8dio's new line, SoundPaint, seems to be getting some attention.
I can't speak to how good or bad SoundPaint is as I have stayed away from 8dio since my earlier misadventures.Edit: if articulations, etc are critical for you...
Consider picking up Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition which is currently on sale for $299, even if you have to make payments.
It's a killer sale. I spent a lot more than that at 8dio picking up 'sale' items individually.
It is huge, you may need to get extra storage or enlarge it; you also don't have to install everything all at once (or at all).~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Im really tempted by Tundra, it sounds beautiful…

Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to meneed to reword...
…but I'm just a poor boy, I need no symphony
a guitar for the highs, a bass for the lows, a drummer that can make things go
a keyboard player and singer that can sing on key - and that's all that really matters to me, to me-

I get them to satisfy my G.A.S.
Try peppermint tea for G.A.S. it's effective, besides being soothing and making your tummy feel nice.
By the time I go to the kitchen, heat the water, get a cup, find the tea, brew a cup and get back to my computer I've forgotten why I made the tea in the first place.

Sorry that you picked one of the coldest days of the year to visit us. It was a perky 39 degrees this morning (nice & sunny though).
Hope you have a great time on your trip!-

already too late ?
I don't have any promo code to get galaxy
Has Verve Analog Machine Essentials surpassed 6,176 downloads?
(Also even if they have - there's no real incentive for UA to rush and either take down the announcement about it that you see first time you connect to webpage or deliver the galaxy freebies as it motivates people to download/install their new plugin).

$266.11 with code FORUM
https://www.jrrshop.com/eastwest-hollywood-orchestra-opus-edition-diamond
That's a friggin killer price.
I got it on sale for $444.11 and thought that was a good price at the time.
I'm still making payments on it. Too bad I can't credit the difference...
Oh the joys of software and virtual instruments!
Wonder if Eastwest feels they've milked out the premium wallets out there and are testing a volume vs pricing strategy (i.e. selling more for less).
If I had paid full price for this bundle I'd probably be enraged instead of slightly depressed... -

My guitars rarely see the light of day, but every time I take my white Les Paul out of the studio and downstairs in the daylight, I am in for a surprise. This morning I realized that the lacquer had started to crack on the back as well as around the knobs on the front.
It'll be 9 years next month, and it's been kept in a smoke free environment. You expect Stratocasters and Telecasters to get all beat up and worn, it makes them look cool - and my old Strat has seen a lot of abuse. But Les Pauls and Gibsons in general are a different thing, what with the set neck and all. So I’ve always taken great care of this one.
Seems to me that it's aging rather quickly. But that's ok I guess. Gives it character.
How temperature stable is your environment?
Checking (cracking as shown) mostly happens when a guitar is exposed to temperature changes as the finish and wood expand/contract at different rates.
E.G. In winter take a guitar case from trunk/garage/basement and pull out the guitar indoors without giving it a chance temperature equalize and you might witness the magic happening like a timelapse movie of a spring thaw hitting a frozen lake.

Imagine having a compact yet powerful plugin at hand that will take care of two tracks competing for attention in the same frequency range – and all with minimal setup and without any fuss. AI-powered analysis and spectral unmasking will do the grunt work.
We will boost our pure plugin series with another little gem of a tool very soon. Get ready for pure:unmask and the special intro deals we’ve got for you.
Not hard to imagine - it's called Trackspacer by Wavesfactory.
Wonder if they'll beat its PluginBoutique price of $59-

Nomad Factory VST 3 update Magnetics Bundle
in Deals
Posted
from manual...
(Info reorganized for easier reading, used bold font)
In comparison to the previous versions of Nomad Factory Magnetics Bundle,
Have fun!
The Plugivery Team.
The v3 is not compatible with v2 sessions or presets. They are completely new plug-ins and thus won't replace the v1 and v2, so you can still use them to reload your previous work.
