Same here! Let's give them a chance the next year ?

For that, to quickly find out, I use sandboxie as well.

Zips are great, except for people who are either lazy, compute tech resistant or can't tell the difference between vst2 and vst3 and could possibly extract to the wrong folder anyway. I'm fine with it but now more and more 'simple' plugins do install banks of presets somewhere else on the disk along with the plugin, then I'm finding installation process more handy because manual instructions are then often someway unclear for me. It still takes some labour to keep an eye on what the installer is doing to my system. One corner case I remember was when it put the plugin where the resources should go (ProgramData) and the resource files into plugin folder ? but these particular guys probably didn't have access to a PC at all and did just some guess work. I'm using sandboxie to isolate cases like that.

All valid points. What I find even more disturbing is when the updates introduce bugs, like for example at some point the AAS installer has changed path for their plugins by moving into a different folder but without clearing out the previous location and you've been left with two sets of the same plugins all inside the global plugin folder. The most recent example is from yesterday, I was updating some AudioThing plugins and at some point I've noticed that the overall count of plugins in my global folder has increased. It turned out there were previous plugins with '_x64' suffix already installed and the new versions were all the same names but without suffix. I mean, man you can't do this. There should be process of cleaning during installation or at least some exclamation, but I don't recon anything.

I heard he's partner of one of the Francisco Partners.

Guys, have some of you noticed how our kids grown up?

Exactly! I'm looking for one EZdrums for half off and one EZX for half off. Is that too much asking for? Oh I can wait another year...

I this a deal or bummer? Cause I'm kind of lost. Where's the "Massive savings", as per the website?

I ate my nails ...for a change.

Blackout Friday deal ?

For some of us, this must have been the most horrible moment of the year!

Libre Wave Hello, For the last couple of months I've been working on a jazz age inspired sample library for Rhapsody. Bell & Bone includes a trumpet and trombone. Both instruments feature a selection of idiomatic articulations and a range of mutes. It's available now for you, completely free! To get it you just need to install the latest version of Rhapsody, log in, and click to download/install it. Download Now A Joe-Blog Composer has made a great video overview which you can view by clicking the image below. Other News All Rhapsody instruments have had an upgrade so you'll need update both Rhapsody and the instruments you have installed. Most of the changes are cosmetic but there are a few functional ones: - The interface can now be resized by dragging from the bottom right corner. - The velocity curve is now per articulation, just like the AHDSR. - For instruments with a "Performance" articulation it's now possible to set the maximum attack and release time for that articulation. The actual value that will be used will still be determined by the instrument's scripting as it responds to your playing. - Support for mouse wheel to adjust velocity table curve - Fixed a few edge case crashes If you're interested in seeing me talk a bit about this update as well as upcoming projects I'm working on you can watch the video below. Black Friday It's that time of year again. Here's a coupon code that will give you a 40% discount across everything. The code is bf23 and you can use it at both Libre Wave and Xtant Audio. This code is valid from now until December 1st. Thanks as always for your kind support and feedback. If you have any questions, need assistance, or want to discuss anything please reply to this email and I'll get back to you. - David Healey

iLok USB is also an option as far as I know Thanks! I forgot to mention the dongle because I don't do dongles

For this deal, I would have gone nuts to spend anymore cash... and I probably would if the ilok licenses weren't cloud only! For me that's a real bummer.

Fleer!

I wonder if I still have one free license available, if anyone's interested. They've been giving them away a lot recently so I got one in my Adam Audio account, then another one in my Audient account. Was there anything else? EDIT: gone

I also read that Mixbus can open Protools sessions. Perhaps not everything, those with more advanced routings etc probably not, but some basic should do just fine. The idea was to be able to exchange sessions with Protools users, nice idea fwiw.

cclarry in da house!

I'm pretty happy with the sound of my Neo Soul Keys Studio, except historically, this developer had a bad habit of remotely deauthorizing my software without notice. And it didn't happen just once. So I promised to myself, should that happen to my NSK Studio, the next minute I will literally open Scarbee website and start looking for a sale on his EP 88. So today I launched my NSK Studio and straight out of the blue, there is my NSK Studio main view dimmed out and a pop-up window asking for an activation serial. Now imagine that would happen right before a gig ?. So that was it. My 'to buy' list I'm gonna open with Sca... oh, bear with me... <1 minute later> NVM! Just bought the Scarbee, wishlist fulfilled Now onto the... what 'tines' was it? Oh yeah, Vtines!

IK Product Manager did not have offline authorization from the go. However a bug that was requiring you to be logged in to IK Product Manager to use your products has been fixed. It was only meant for the new Pianoverse subscriptions (log in every 72 hours) but it affected other products and has been fixed, if that's what you meant. I think what he meant is literally *offline authorization*. The older stuff used to be authorized with the old Authorization Manager that had an option for a challenge/response file for anyone who needs offline authorization in his studio but any new software based on Product Manager don't utilize this feature anymore. Offline authorization is such an underrated feature nowadays. Please bring back offline authorization ??.

Just got a reply from the Support that they are going to release a quick update to fix this. ?

Same here! Stuck on v1 because upgrade to 1.5 CS was free but sample download expired ?

I got very excited at first but then I quickly realized that I already have it. Oh bummer...
