Then there is Tracktion that doesn't do this. I don't think the UAD one does this either. That's an option but I don't like either of them. I think in the highly competitive world of DAWs it's sub price is not to my liking. I get that you are getting more services than a DAW but how many people find that appealing? It must be enough to where they aren't changing their business model. Look at Waves and they still exist.

That's not the point of being in the forum or buying plugins. We jut like to have these things and every DAW comes with these type of drum machines. The reality is we are too fascinated with not having our ideal 808 sound.

I bought it since I'm a D-16 fan. They still do things the old way. No special app and has offline activation. Their GUIs use to be small but now they are huge

NOPE THEY DIDN[T FIX IT

I'd still use a 720p if some of the software wouldn't run out at the bottom.

somehow trying to appeal to egos is not really good marketing

We always come up with new entitlements. Everything is a tipping industry. There are no longer contracts but charities.

Mac minis are probably the best value until Apple decides it's not. I don't like to be held hostage by hardware. It's not just Apple doing that either. MS will have to rethink their TMP requirement. I also had to upgrade a video card just to use Kontakt 7.

I use to buy parts just in case I "ever" wanted to do 200 tracks and a bunch of libraries. Then there was this sense of reality called "why". I've never gone that far. That's the problem with hobbies. People always buy unnecessary gear. See how far people go who play golf for fun. They even have golf balls that are suppose to make your game better. I've got plenty of "game changing" plugins. Interesting how PC hardware rarely dies if you built your own systems. There's a lot of bad and bloated development these days that can bring newer systems to a crawl. A serious gamer now uses a 2tb OS drive. So many new games now tip the 100gb scale.

meanwhile CdB still works for me so far.......

My better system I got the spinning wheel of searching for products 3 times when I open NA. A restart fixed it. Much older system did not have this happen. I squirm every time I open NA.

and it's often not quality with those monthly promises Studio One and Bitwig are annual upgrades. Acronis went sub only and now offer perpetual again,

I still want a fluglehorn. They are pricey even for beginner models.

The temptation of sample hoarding never dies.

Didn't Schecter make one of these? I know it wasn't one of their premier guitars. I remember seeing one at a GC years ago and it wasn't premier priced.

Nope. Just one more orchestra............or become a collector of brands. VSL is out of my budget but EW...........

Like all of mine needed updates.

I didn't see anything called this on their site. I not realized this is not a separate instrument but presets that show up in Sound Factory.

I prefer the individual GUIs instead of them being all ST. It's still the most confusing browser.

requires iLok

Their government is but the people........not so much.

odd that the former Sony products are not on the list

How much disk space? I think each one is 40GB. I've only downloaded one of them but not yet installed.

It doesn't work that way. Are we interested in it only because it's free?
