That's why they still require iLok where Izotope has other options.

Both are bloated software though.

They are on my do not support list because of their distribution app.

Despite the IK hate some have did anyone notice this is one of the developers who actually upgrade their products instead of their app? Even the great VSL has upgraded their apps over 200 times. Plus I can download this update from my account. I'm waiting for the crusade of DAW users to stop supporting developers who give the enduser limited options of distribution or structuring it to the only means of solving is through a support ticket instead of individual problem solving.

Decided to try this and SUCK! is an understatement. Another asshat App. I think I will not support developers who do not have direct download options. I think I will remove all UAD from my system.

When Native Asshat breaks I guess that can be a good thing.

Amazed how many people don't understand that.

Shouldn't Waves and PA be out of business then?

I'd love to hear it clean just to see what is sounds like.

I consider it a blessing. My hoarding is fine without this forum.

Inconsistent, I haven't figured out why this wasn't closed.

The installers give you a choice. You can make a folder and install there

Nice of them not to force you into it

This is the dislike I have about Synthmaster. I wish the preset installation was like other synths. Logging into your account is also annoying. For some reason Roboform can't fill this and I have to paste the serial number. How about using a password instead.

Pipe dream at best

Performances have always been the money maker. There's a lot of hype over DAW packages about music distribution ect. It's kind of overrated. My brother use to be a DJ and never used a DAW or played an instrument. He use to make $800 doing a reception or graduation. His job was taking requests. Live performances are always valued. That's how many famous artists got discovered. Oasis never appealed to me. I guess I don't get the hype. After covid I value live performances even by amateurs. I never understood the Ticketmaster service fee which was pricey either. I couldn't image the price if the Beatles decided to do a tour when they were all alive. Maybe $10K a ticket?

Steinberg is slowly taking over my system after the news of Finale. In some ways Steinberg has gotten better. They have a 3 machine limit and you can deauthorize if too many system changes. No need to move a dongle around. It is getting harder to keep DAWs and software offline these days. I'm don't really loath them anymore. There's always another developer to take their place.

Not sure what NI is trying to do with their eco system as the previous version of Asshat worked. Product Poor2'All became that when the 3 headed monster was formed. I'm getting tied of developers with these distribution apps. Them some of them make it a treasure hunt for direct download. It is a necessary evil when you have a large catalog. Small companies seem to have an advantage of less overhead by having less products. A lot f older stuff still works on a Windows OS. Not every company can be like Sectrasonics.

Make a new version and and call it a fix but no free upgrade. Enshittification.

Noticed the sounds are not compressed. Do so if you need that drive space for that next Kontakt library you will try to squeeze in,

Never had that issue. I've never heard gamers even discuss it. The belief is you can outspend on Pc components never needing an audio interface.

Image Line does the same thing on their forum. Then again most of the users are into creating music instead of buying stuff. I was actually introduced to FL when a small version came with my Home Studio 2000 cd. Back then I hated the step sequencer concept. After FL's popularity increased more DAWs added a step sequencer.

Easy pass because of MS Store.

Transitioning between scoring apps is far more annoying than switching DAWs. Everything you do in Finale is a habit and then the others don't work the same way,
