Thanks Lars! Love freebies...

Finished out my H Series

Just looking to upgrade my 305s

Lars, they had a similar sale during Black Friday. Do you happen to recall what the price was then?

Looks like I found my new Plex server...

Will the real cclarry please stand up, please stand up, please stand up....

I've clearly hit a nerve, just relax Tezza. ? You have a grudge against Cubase, and don't like it. That is OK with me, it doesn't bother me in the least. People love or hate DAWs, it is really an interesting psychological phenomenon. I happen to love Cubase, and have had zero issues with it - on either version 9 or 10. That shouldn't bother you either. I chose Cubase when Sonar went under because of its world class Midi implementation. I researched and demoed many DAWs, during that time, and the choice was clear to me. In the space that I'm working towards (orchestration), Cubase is by far the number 1 DAW (and its not even close). My anecdotal experience in those spaces (Cubase groups, VI-Control) show that the majority have moved to Cubase 10 and don't have issues. One of the best things I've found about Cubase is the sheer amount of quality documentation and online videos about the product. Want to know how to do something? Someone has a great video on YouTube on it - using a current version. Very helpful to someone like me. That was always a struggle with Sonar - the old Sonar forum was great for some help, but the number of Sonar users seemed to be much smaller than Cubase and other DAWs, and the amount of online videos showed that. I'm on the Cakewalk (actually just the deals) forum because of folks like @cclarry, @Fleer, and @abacab. Larry does a great service to the community by posting deals - I love plugins, reading about them, playing with them (and sadly too often purchasing them). Folks like Fleer and Abacab are great community members who are very helpful. That's why I'm here.

My father in law actually does that....

I agree with extreme minority. Since Cubase is one of the most popular DAWs on the planet, the sheer number of users with problems will be greater than those of lesser used DAWs. My experience with Cubase has been amazing. The last time I build my DAW, I didn't even put Sonar/Cakewalk back on it. I even actually had a good experience with Steinberg support the one time I used actually used it. Remember two years ago with Cakewalk wouldn't even respond to support emails. I have no idea what it is like anymore.

Alright @Fleer, I know you're a 'verb guy. What are your top 3 reverbs on the market right now?

That is a really good idea.

Same here. I don't have any of the effects, but I do have the V collection. $99 is my price as well.

This is the ticket right here!!!

Thanks for the heads up Larry. Thankfully, my account looks good (for now).

Thanks!

Play 6 is awesome...

Thanks Lars - that is now almost 150 GB of sounds they've given away over the past 18 months or so. I can confirm 2/8 can't be opened with Winzip (I tried all three mirrors). 7Zip opened it successfully.

Thank Larry. I had 6 or so plugins that were updated. No issues.

I think their newer plugin UIs are pretty good I think. The Flow Motion UI is controversial, but I think its great. I agree wholeheartedly however, on their preset browsers - they stink across their whole line of plugins (at least the ones I have). The biggest benefit to me of Komplete Kontrol is a one stop VST Host for those VSTis that don't have a standalone version. I can bring up any synth I have and add any effect I want to it. Quicker to me than bringing up Cubase, making a blank project, adding a track, etc.

@Tiger The Frog - all EW libaries come with a copy of Play. Most come with Play 5, but some of the newer ones (Hollywood Choirs, for example) come with Play 6.

I just picked it up. Well worth 8$!

Thanks Larry. Maschine is also updated to 2.8.1

Flow Motion is great! Confusing, but really cool sounds.

@abacab's insistence that I buy Iris a few weeks ago for cheap may turn out to be very wise on his part.

Any of which hardly counts as beer.
