Yes, when BandLab increased the re-authorization cycle to 4 weeks, I dropped CbB and now I use Platinum and Reaper. (I use 3 systems, 2 of them offline and the re-auth takes not some seconds as someone pretended above. For all 3 it takes minimum 1 hour and it is a hassle; one pc is in another building).

By the way I also installed Sonar X3 and I wondered that there is not a lot I am missing!

I've always archived my DAWs. I always thought Plat was X3.

I use to keep old versions installed since the exe was only 18mb.  

The danger is discontinue software is the spread of illegal versions and that come with other nasties.

Anyone thought of installing the last version of Sonar that was under Gibson?

I'd agree if one was stuck in that ecosystem, but if you work cross platform yourself or with bamdmates that lands right back to the Sonar situation.

I guess it also depends on what you need and how you work with the DAW.  Reaper is a lot less expensive even though Logic came down dramatically in price since the early days.

I think Logic is now a pay once like FL Studio.

Studio One is now like Waves with their WUP.

It seems like some developers are doing better updates.  

I've become more of a fan of the EDM type DAWs like FL and Live.

I still haven't installed this new Sonar yet.  I just need more DAW shortcuts on my taskbar.

Hard to imagine using anything other than Reaper for that use case.  

Sadly so many people use Macs.

If I did I would just go with Logic

The only issue I had with this update is that I had to do a manual scan of the ST4 content (The automatic scan post update was not enough).

After that, every thing ran fine (Standalone and VST)

I seemed to have left that out since my other romplers actually work.

That did the trick.

I noticed without that Sampltron wouldn't load either. I had to go back and redo the audio settings in the B3 as well

Double check the other romplers powered by ST to make sure they work

I probably wont install this update despite that.

When a developer removes something and claim improvements without listing them - buyer beware.  When Reaper is updated they list everything.

That bites. I wonder if anyone else experienced this same issue.

Overwriting doesn't fix it either.  Will have to remove since now it crashes 

totally pointless update 

I should move on and delete everything ST since I don't use it.  I would have done it by now but it runs fine on a HDD

REVERT!  The broke the standalone.  No sound in all ST patches.  You can't even adjust the buffer size.

I have two audio interfaces and both have no sound.  Works OK as a VST.

This was an unnecessary update.

So - things you can do during the 15 second evaluation screen:

Ill start

- Go make that cup of Joe
- Tune de guitar 

Most of my DAWs take 15 second if it's a plugin scan.   All it takes is for Melda or Arturia update.

Best Service has reopened, but unfortunately, my entire Clave product history for purchased has disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else? This is a real disaster. 👎

See if it's in orders  instead of My Products.  

The Albion Selects is $88.

Odd I entered my email again and they gave me a 35% off code.  I doubt it would work.

I'm only interested in their Kontakt libraries and the sales are nothing new since I was looking at a couple of Albions.

My eyes! The googles do nothing!

 

Seriously, UI is so subjective isn't it. Personally I think there will be some user customization of color coming to new Sonar at some point, but I don't blame them at all for focusing on other things whilst rebuilding the UI engine from the foundations up. 

I love LIve for it's 8 bit look.  All of my Magix software that use to be Sony looks like the original.  

Maybe its my age but I don't like dark themes

So what is ARM?  Is this referring to tablets?

BTW does CAL still work

Check your emails as i have received a 10% off loyalty code as well.

Have no clue why I never get those. I have 2 emails and none of that ever shows up.  It's not that spam filter stuff either.

I'm sooo embarrassed to say I just did.  Eventide Blackhole Emmersive - welcome home.  That didn't take long.

I bought it earlier when they have an upgrade deal. Bought Blackhole and then Emmersive.

Now it is really cool but then just like all of this other sound design stuff, now use it in a track,  Well uh no

And they just keep coming.  I am a reverb fanatic, but it’s getting  a little spooky.

solution - you need to get more spooky reverbs

I subscribed to the EDMprod newsletter a while ago, just to get some freebies, and yesterday I got a newsletter that I wanted to share because it's a good reminder that we shouldn't fall victim to Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I believe that people like us on deals forums are especially prone to GAS, that's why I post it here.
The mail subject was "Stop hoarding, start creating" and I think he put it quite well:

I was aware of these things, but it drives the message home differently when I see it written from someone else, somehow.

BTW the thumbs down is sarcasm on my part.  Like that is nonsense, no way, I don't believe - never tired it.  Oh wait I did back when I had little money.

It seems like my more enjoyment is picking up an instrument and playing it.  No system to boot up, no external gear settings.  Just pick it up and play it.

That is the trap! It's cheap upgrades up to a point, instead of just paying for WUP but then you run out of those options..  and have even more plugins that then might eventually need WUP 🤣

then you just upgrade to the next version until you are stuck with Mercury or what ever it is.  Eventually delete that and go RennMaxx

My Melda, TRacks, Arturia, every plugin not from Waves doesn't need WUP

My WUP for Plat is 81, upgrade to Diamond is 58 - LOL just LOL!

worst licensing in the industry - unfortunately it seems to be working for them

if you have more than one machine it gets even more confusing

for the Waves apologists I have deaf ears

BTW also check your upgrade pricing as well - seems like there are some good values for plugin noarders

BTW Cubase does the same thing,  All former elicenser products do that like VSL.

You gotta login to a web page using these. 

How did you come to the conclusion it's free?

I don't see anything on that page.

So I guess this is also the standard installer and no separate free one?
