Someone on the Image Line forums making out the M1 is then end all. This is from the head chief of Image Line. To be frank Apple has been consistently obsoleting software through their actions over the last 20 years, which are mainly about closing an already tight ecosystem further. For example. Their rush to release ARM devices has rendered all legacy (Intel only) VST plugins obsolete on the Apple Silicon platform. This has implications for forward compatibility of projects and the ability to share projects with Windows users who need to use VST equivalents to AU. They took the time to make an Intel - ARM process bridge for AU plugins, but don't care about VST as its not their platform and they don't sell VST format plugins. Additionally, every time Apple updates macOS they break software and some hardware too. They do this with the expectation that the industry will just fix their mess. When a developer doesn't the product is dead. In short, if anything you use is not under constant development bit-rot will set in much faster on macOS than Windows. 'll open with an observation. Desktop systems are more robust, easier to repair and upgrade than laptops. Yet I see people using laptops that never leave the desk they were unboxed on. People do not make rational decisions. My comments about Bit-Rot on macOS are not company policy. They are personal opinion and observation (corroborated by most developers I know who code audio applications for macOS. They are always chasing their tails making fixes caused by changes to the OS), having been involved in software development for over 20 years (and managing software development for 15). You don't have to like other peoples opinions. But understand they always have a reason for them. I am not a customer of Apple products. I manage a team that makes software that runs on them. I see what has to happen to keep that software working. I will hand Apple a job well done with the release of the Apple Sillicon ecosystem. They really did an amazing job with the Rosetta 2 system. Their Apple Silicon CPUs also have excellent performance per watt, making them easier to cool and so quiet out of the box. Nice. But a lot of code is heading for the dust heap as a result of this transition. Whether or not you care about that is if you use or rely on any of this code. But my personal opinion is well represented by the quote above. Company 'policy'? Well, philosophy is that we support the operating systems where the market / customers are. And for now that is macOS, Windows, Android and iOS. Regards Scott I love the comment about laptops never leaving the desk. If I were a laptop guy I'd be all over an M1 and Logic. Apple owes a lot to HP since they make nothing but craptops.

Don't like Sine.

Which makes it easy for me not to spend money on a DAW I never use.

Is it vst2 or 3?

Super String is $49.

This is tempting to install.

For me it's also licensing, jam points, always had great support I haven't totally walked away from Waves either. Bad habits = never a quick death

9GB - no thanks.

What happens when you mix an IK with InMusic? You get Korg.

and it still shows up as legacy bundle........ so legacy collection pay the same price is the same price as those who have M1le. That smells like IK . I'd rather give that $149 to Arturia, or some other developer. The Korg eco system sucks. Synths are a dime a dozen these days no matter how good a certain claimed hardware emulation is.

Same here but I need to start saying no. The only benefit is it takes a DAW plugin manager to scan two more and I'll forget to use them. I never go far in anything to make use of them. I'm a better purchasing agent.

Nothing to see here. I've seen these prices many times. They also change the paint on their advertising.

That nails it for me. I've started to avoid more rompler type synths namely for Kontakt. I have all of the flavor of the month VSTs.

I guess the Riser is very underrated. I watched a tutorial and the producer always used this.

That doesn't bother me. With all of the player libraries in Kontakt it's annoying to find anything. I often drag a patch from the system folder most of the time.

That wont happen.

I don't even bother with these "tweaks" anymore. Most of them are already done. Most machines don't need this anymore.

The best way to tweak W11 is install W10 over it.

I delete the original orchestra. This is part of my point that the Suite is never really updated but added on like 3rd party stuff.

These are a dime a dozen so I didn't install it.

That's suppose to be the cure all which the PROfessional multimedia world ignores.

I'd get it if is came with a free loaded gun so I could shoot myself.

I think they do but it would cost your more.

I'll take that as sarcasm. I guess so if you only use a laptop. How long would it take for someone to be screaming for Kontakt and libraries. Sell off AT5? It took me years to figure out why Live was designed the way it is.

It's waste of money. Most of the Suite is never updated like the Sampler. The whole Suite is 80gb and not necessary if you have 3rd party stuff.
