So you are saying that Dream Theater probably doesn't use BIAB?

"Best mag in da biz!"

I had the same issue. Wasted about 10 minutes. All it did was remind me I have a lot of Waves plug ins.

I know how you feel. I was kind of in the same boat a couple of years ago. This is my problem - I love researching things as much as I love playing with them. FWIW, that is what they now call "non sustainable." I've gotten so much more "picky" about what I get. I keep a spreadsheet of things that I know I will pick up at some point, and the price I am willing to pay. All that info comes from research, reading manuals, and this forum. Members here are so helpful in that regard. Shoot, a couple of years ago, I was looking at keeping my Gothic Dronar collection moving along. I posted what I was planning, and @cclarry sent back this super complex process in like 87 steps (slight exaggeration), that actually got me more libraries at a lower cost. I still can't believe he went to the trouble to figure that all out for me. That list keeps shrinking every year, and at some point I'll be like @bitflipper and a couple of other sage members who just don't buy anything. There are only a couple of instant buys for me. Any new Ethera library. I know I'll pick up the year's collection from Samples From Mars. Past that, I'm now super picky about what hits Paypal.

I think a Cobalt 8m to join my Argon 8m. Then one of two others: 1. A Guitar Center about an hour away from me has a pristine Fractal Axe FM III Mk. II that they've had in their used rack for a few months. I've been bickering with them on the price for two months. I think they are about to cave. (or) 2. An Elektron Analog RTM 2. I've got plenty of hardware synths, but I don't really have a good drum machine. I've been researching them for quite awhile, and have about settled on this one.

8 Dio Intimate Studio Brass, Strings, Woodwinds Dorico 4 Elements Finished out my Metropolis Ark Collection Ethera Atlantis 2 BBC Symphony Pro upgrade from Core Sample From Mars (2022 Collection) Melodyne Upgrade to Editor (which I actually feel pretty good about. I got Melodyne Essential for free somewhere, I had a $20 coupon at the Celemony store which I used to upgrade to Assistant, then used Everyplugin to upgrade to Editor. So, I have a grand total of $132 to go from nothing to Melodyne Editor. ) And as @Nick Blanc says, the hardware comes next month.

OO! Love that thing. I played with one several times at Perfect Circuit in LA. I'd love to get one some day.

Ooo.. What's coming up?

^This.....

I have both. Now where can I buy the talent? Any Cyber Monday deals on that?

This is a great deal. If I didn't have it already, I would jump on this.

Is this decent for an all around mic? (Just something to screw around with basically). I don't know that much about mics. The mic holder that comes with this - is that a standard of some sort? Just would need to get a small desk stand, and don't know what to get, or if there is some type of standard.

Don't worry, me as well.

Surely you can't be serious...

Don't be like me. Anything Ethera is an instant order for me, so I happily added one of the freebies to my order. A freebie that I had somehow already got. Don't be like me.

LOVE SFM!!!

Epic Games is giving away Star Wars Squadrons. A pretty decent game, just released two years ago. Ends December 1. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/star-wars-squadrons

Worst Sample Logic BF sale. Ever. I know they have never gone crazy, but at least put a couple of your products on sale. @cclarry - doesn't APD put everything at base price sometime around BF?

Does anyone have any experience with cloning NVME drives? I'd like to replace the 1TB NVME M2 drive I have in with 2 TB version. I have two slots - ideally, I'd like to pop both in, boot to a USB drive, and somehow clone one to the other.

Instant buy. Love the Etheras.

I'll take a serious cop out on this - I'll ask for peace on earth and good will toward all. I've been back on the forum only a few days. I had been gone for about two months, mostly due to an all expenses paid vacation to a current regional hot spot courtesy of the United States Department of Defense. Close by, people live in abject povery with the threat of a madman escalating an already atrocious situation. One can't express how humbling that is to me. I know the forum here represents many different global locales, but the vast majority of us are so lucky in life, we can't imagine anything else. I could put together a list of stuff, but realistically, I have everything I could ever want.

Pretty disappointed in my upgrade price for BBCSO Pro.....
