So for the moment it's safe to assume that the Product Manager could be useful for a quick check if there are any new updates available, and not have to go manually through the Product page again all over?

Dang! And I just went there to download the 'latest' 4.1.2

I just remembered that I'm not on the latest Cakewalk release. And there was probably some kind of an update to the way zoom works. You'd have to go check in the release notes if there is a change or are any new settings added recently. EDIT: there was a change: but it's for zooming with keyboard ?

Zooming ALT+mouse centers where the mouse pointer is positioned here as expected. I don't like it that when I'm zooming out being somewhere close to the start of a project (zero) I'm loosing the position and it's not going back when zooming back in straight after. But other than that zooming with mouse is working fine for me. Did you check your mouse wheel zoom options?

Hope you will keep that authorization manager for offline authorization as an alternative. So I won't be able to de-authorize my old Window 98 SE machine. I'll have to live with those 9 authorizations left.

Have to agree there are some bugs in the installation/authorization coding. On my recent fresh system build I decided to authorize my stuff offline. Some response files came back with a garbage numbers and software didn't authorize properly. Not sure but I think it happened to Syntronik. Anyway I didn't try to fix it yet, if I get it right I can open my Syntronik stuff in Sampletank, is that right? I'll hold off with installing manager for now having concerns if it will fix my broken authorization of screw something that's working fine. Won't hurt to wait a bit for the next update.

yes

Try in the Past Releases. Pheeeeow! I started getting worry that I will have to go through reaching Support to get the installer. EDIT: beaten by Promidi

Checking with the website right now, good to have the access to user download location. No word on offline authorization though ?.

Authorize and de-authorize computers <-that's defo on a plus You can also see bonus downloads like artist presets, if available. <-another nice one

Yes! please keep the files as an alternative, thank you. Are you saying that if I will want to authorize a new purchased item from IK, I'll have to have this Product Manager installed anyway? EDIT: What about offline installation?

umm that's no good, I prefer to install manually, most of the developers offer manual links/installers, so far only Spitfire, from all that I use, refused to offer manual links (and I use only one their product) I'm not against the manager but there's a reason why most developers still offer an alternative for manual installation looks like yet another forced manager that I will have to closely watch it's hands (and possibly clean after)

LOL... I heard someone saying that I should finally grow up ?

Thanks... well that's a bummer

This made me remember that PA updated some plugins quite recently and I should go check if they added preset manager in their vst3 version. That shouldn't be a problem if there was just a handful of them on the market but I did a clean windows install a while ago and promised to myself this time, for plugins, to go only with the really needed ones. So far I'm on 923 count and had to take a bit of fresh air.

I assume you know this already but you can click on metronome settings button in the transport module in control bar right under metronome during record button or right click on any of the three metronome buttons to quickly bring up the properties window.

In all honesty, kids are the main reason why I spend time mostly here on the forum and not doing music

I use both ways. I like to throw singles on my tracks as if they were like those typical rack gear in the studio. On master bus I often use suite for the serial/parallel chaining, it's very easy to experiment and exchange modules on the fly. There are some dope presets for many applications in it, some of them already my favorites that I only tweak a little to get the sound.

My experience is that VST2 version do have preset manager implemented but not vst3. I would prefer to use vst3 version but that issue is making me keep using VST2.

Pretty sure it could last another 10mins as a chewing gum and they will ask for more.

Love that idea! Plus I don't get it how iRig stuff being a hardware makes it disqualified as a free item. They could keep charging us for shipping at let us have more fun.

Yes I agree but it can happen if you suddenly end up with an addition of two new sweet little vivid toddlers to your family that constantly suck out over 80% of your life you just leave your life as is and come back tomorrow... maybe. The tabs were incognito, I formed a habit to open 'temporary' websites in incognito to keep my little ssd in sanity because I hated how chrome wasted the space with gigabytes of browser data after just a few months. Personal workflow.

Thanks, it's nothing about the GUI. That appears to be on the plus side actually

Honestly I'm glad it works for you. I can't leave the session open for a while because I've already lost some data in an unsaved work-in-a-progress documents or lost previously opened tabs in the browser when Windows decided to reboot after Microsoft pushed new update. It didn't even care to ask for saving any work. Never used to be like that before. They somehow stopped to care for the user as much as for their own product.

Only I find it kind of a bummer that the best deals like the MODOs or Hammond are on level $199 or higher and the hardware stuff is around $150 but hardware is excluded from the free products? That forces us to jump in twice if someone is for, say, MODO bass and an irig keyboard. Powerful minds must have thought about this group buy rules.
