This needs to be moved out of Deals.

Especially if they are direct from ToonTrack. These are decent deals but not that interesting.

Like 90% of new libraries released

No but it's more my fault. Just abut every better product on here I haven't used - ITS MY FAULT. If I get past 4 measures using one track that is an accomplishment for me.

Not my definition of easy upgrade since I may have all of them and the site doesn't show any upgrade for what you have. BTW this may be a better offer. All Legion is $49 https://8dio.com/products/legion-series?variant=44015891153096

Enshitification is real.

They keep sending me a 15% off which would push me over the edge but so far those codes do not work.

So I guess the only reasons to add the sounds is if you are using stand alone.

Always curbs my hoarding

Where is this from? Not much info.

There is always some anti Kirk bias. If you are into collecting orchestras it's probably worth the price. I bought it when it was only available for Gigastudio. Full orchestra libraries have matured since then. The strongest part I guess is the solo strings. With the race down to zero in libraries that price is a hard sell. I never had installation issues.

https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/fantasy/ 75 euro Tempting as I am more of a collector than a user. The previous APD would have been better.

If not sure ask on the EW FB page. I've gotten quick responses that way.

Always better to go with the iLok. A lesson learned after replace a drive and contacting many developers to have authorizations reset.

But does it still require iLok software?

Same here. I'm starting to remove stuff based on strange eco systems. I could see UAD Connect if you have their interfaces. But there is no shortage of reinventing the wheel and those wise enough to rely in a DAWs included plugins.

Most large external drives are 5400 rpm. Not sure what is backed up to take that much time. I would imagine it would if it were all of my drives with sample libraries. I never back those up on a schedule. The only time they are backed up is after buying them so I don't have to download them again. I've got a large collection of HDDs since upgrading to SSDs. I'm not a fan of these apps that after downloading the installation files are deleted. Some don't give you that option. I get it if you have a laptop . EW,NI, Steindberg are the offenders. IK - I can download their zip files. I can hold on to my VSL files. I can keep al of my Live Suite files. I'm getting turned off more by software the way software is distributed these days.

I'm too stupid to mess with this anymore. My solution these days since I also game is have a 1TB OS drive. It's a lot easier. I even had some overhear despite even games are now bloated.

odd but it works

Some are still 2.

I make it a habit to buy those.

I've grown to like iLok. There are downsides to machine activation as well. It triggers hardware changes. Some have gotten it right. There is really no such thing as offline anymore. You still have t go online for some reason. The days are gone when you bought software on a CD, entered the serial number and done.

VR Music was not in the download

Yay! More hoops to jump through just to use software

My take is disk hogging synths are only valuable to enthusiasts and the listener could care less. Forbidden Planets takes up 51GB of space and I don't think f my Arturia, Sylenth, Spire, Serum, and a whole lot of others dent that.
