not a fan of the Sine Player

MTV,VH1, CMTV are anything but. Videos use to be creative where there was minimal showing of the artist. It's all trash now. Loved Liquid Television, Headbanger's Ball, Behind the Music. It would be nice of there was a MTV vintage channel.

You'll also have to spend to upgrade diskspace. That's almost 2TB.

Part of that is the 2 machine limit which I'm avoiding those licenses a lot more. I have 3 machines so I would need 2 EZD licenses.

Same here. Easy pass since I don't like their eco system. I prefer to give my money to Arturia only to add to stuff I don't use.

I'm thinking once you get past the shiny and new I probably have plenty of equivalents.

The best part is requires real Kontakt and no need for K7 and you avoid Native Asshat.

I'm thinking of deleting all of it except for their 385mb bombastic orchestra. Amazed how good it is in an era of bloated software.

This is why I fear the sub model.

Living in the desert where it's always at least 110+. People say it's a dry heat. Like oh that's much more tolerable. I'd say after 13 years of it - no it's not. Then there are the out of staters who think it's macho hoping to post a selfie of them hiking in 110+ where it's elevated and very close to burning up in the atmosphere either die or have to get rescued by copter. There is something called the stupid fine which is costly for being stupid. Still amazed the amount of road construction this time of year and a house in the neighborhood is having a new roof put on.

Driving one thru New Mexico to Tuscon, AZ would be an expensive suicide.

So if you have Essentials is it really worth installing this? Ignore that it is free and we like to hoard.

I wonder which one will show up first? The PA voucher or this one?

since it's NI there might be laughter in the background

Same here so I wonder outside of free is this worth taking up space.

Isn't that a NI library. I'm thinking of deleting that free stuff even though it taking up HDD space.

Or do they? Sure they want to make money but I don't think the spreadsheet is the top priority. Just look at their licensing and how many paid upgrades there have been since it came out. Small developers can do things the big ones can't.

Give it some time. They may possibly revert. There is no shortage of DAWs.

I'm the opposite on this. Most of the software I have requires online activation anyway so I've gotten use to it. While thy don't get high marks for customer loyalty but then again maybe they with Jam Points that can be used on hardware (try that NI) I've had support respond within 24 hours. We have Pete who responds on many forums. They are just another developer where there is rarely a middle when it comes to users. It's either love or hate. My biggest complaint is their software is bloated. It seems IK is very good at sample modeling yet they don't go in this direction enough. I love MODO Bass and it's under 1TB. Look at Toontrack and UJAM, their libraries are not small. Their licensing is more than fair. Few remember that it didn't take IK long to ditch iLok.

Not as huge as the file size.

When something goes on Bapu's "not gonna buy list", then you made it big time,

Best advice that even I don't follow is to delete many of them. The plugins don't really take up a lot of space. The space they use up is their presets and other stuff found in those odd Windows folders like app data.

Not enough kids read anymore for entertainment plus the market for hard copies of anything print is shrinking. I must admit some of the stuff for kids I enjoy like Captain Underpants, Dog Man, Diary of A Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries.
