I'm amazed how you get your head around Melda stuff. For some these always look complex. Do you read the manuals or play around with them. I always found Melda's biggest weakness is video content of how to use their stuff. The 3rd party tutorial sites don't bother with Melda. Sure they've gotten better but it seems like they hold back their greatness by lack of instruction and few people have the discipline to read a manual.

This is something I should consider doing.

Some developers just need to write better code instead of relying on GPUs.

The Waves of DAWs.

Winamp 2. I also use Bandlab for it.

Spitfire Studio Woodwinds are $99.

I tend to ignore Izotope deals because they are confusing.

Perfect for Soundpaint.

A first impression without reading the post would be some using it to peddle their used wares.

Another free product just to install another download manager.

It just shows you how out of touch the media is in general. FL Studio and Live are popular because you can create something right away. Beyond the surface these get very complex. We live in a generation wanting instant results. How is this any different than learning an instrument. You could spend all day on a guitar playing an e minor chord or a Bb scale on a trombone but eventually one will have to desire to go deeper. The average person likes to do things on a phone and there are beatmaking apps and that's as far as they want to go. I think they've done more than enough in music software to make something simple. Some companies figured out that that home studio or hobbyist is a bigger market than the professionals.

That just shows you I've been out of touch with Valve in general. Their offerings like L4D and Portal never drew me in despite having them. HL2 will have a long existence with mods until it's broken in Windows. Command and Conquer series was great but CnC3 you could tell it was going down hill. There is a STALKER 2 being developed but it's not the same developer and so far they sys requirements are a testament how clueless game developers have become.

It seems like a nice upgrade except for price. I thought they were going in a direction of free DAW and make revenue from they synths. I never really liked it anyway. Bandlab and FL Studio seem more impressive every day. Like all developers they overprice their extreme package. I can't imagine someone paying a grand for a DAW loaded with software unless you are a professional.

Interesting since they do hardware mods. Looks like a rebranded MOTU unit.

Same must be said about Waves.

People like to nickname it HL3. Meanwhile Valve is doing other things. For me the Steam platform is getting less favor when buying games. Ubisoft and EA have far better support. I seem to have bought more games from Epic.

It seems vst3 for virtual instruments have issues. Sylenth will never be a vst3.

moddb.com - plenty of HL 2 mods. Also plenty of STALKER mods.

There is but it is not called that. It is only available for those VR headsets or whatever they called them and only on Steam.

I don't like it when a developer doesn't take time to include a PDF manual and you have to go to a web page to figure out how to use it.

It seems there is a pattern with game developers that after a sequel the 3rd time is not the charm. The Metro series weakness has always been optimization. There's a reason why games like CoD and GTA are big sellers is they don't require boutique hardware. Exodus and Just Cause 4 are the worst I've played. Many of those games on that list were free at one time or another.

See if you can boot into safe mode.

I think they do. It doesn't flash in front of you.

You got me thinking on that one. Unfortunately I make the mistake of not checking my PA account and I already have Iron. Twice I've bought a 2nd license from PA on accident.

They sure don't want anyone using the $25 voucher.
