That's because they want to install another downloader.

Everyone fears their software will turn to subscription. Many developers have offered them for some time. It is a way to get monthly income. But if more developers lean that way others will market the opposite. There use to be a dongle pandemic. On DAW forums we see "what if your DAW became sub only". Reason users fear that will happen. It's a unique DAW but I think it's held together by loyalists. I guess if the world went the way they fear, FL Studio, Reaper, and Bandlab would remain as options. Steinberg has said Cubase would not be a sub. There are no hints of Live becoming that way. There is the fear of NI going to a sub only. Outside of their VSTs most of their libraries are considered sub par for orchestra.

On one system it is acting like Cubase. It doesn't shut down right away then when I open it up it gives me the extra screen because it didn't shut down properly.

I'm a fan of bland GUIs. I open up Reaper as is. I still use the old skins of former Sony stuff. Live has that 8 bit look. The money spent on Melda "everything" took me out of the running of getting IK "everything".

This is how I feel about SSD prices over 500mb.

I own everything at $213. Now maybe I should use them and not buy anymore plugins.

Maybe it's because people don't bite on the pricier deals.

Probably because a lot of Mac systems no longer have the traditional USB ports.

I'm wondering if Yamaha considers the eLicenser a sunken cost and they will be phased out. VSL is the other company I know of that requires that dongle. VSL also has the worst replacement policy out there.

Steinberg and Waves are on my sux list.

I wonder if Steinberg will allow 2 machines. Their DAW is one of the few tied to one machine unless you move the dongle. I have 3 USB elicensers. I wonder if the decision came from Yamaha who owns both Steinberg and eLicenser.

For me this isn't a bad deal at $299. I don't have Modo Drums or the Hammond. I would get AT5 Max, the other ST4 sounds, Mixbox and the new reverb.

https://www.frys.com/ I didn't realize the family started Fry's Food. There was a Frys as far as Downer's Grove, IL not far from Tiger Direct's HQ. Tiger Direct closed their 2 retail stores some time ago. Their customer service was terrible.

Not sure this is even worth it anymore. 2 licenses of Gold/Maxx and slightly over $100 to WUP. Quality stuff hampered by a ridiculous licensing scheme. I seem to come across more users not buying or using Waves.

You seem to be quite lucky. Mine is severe.

Still pricey to me.

I take 600mg at night. I also do some stretching and use a massager for feet. I was given Tylenol in the hospital and rehab which did nothing. For sometime I had burning in my hips which the gabby pills didn't stop. I also realized there is a lack of coordination and can lose balance on one foot.

I still have to old authorization manager installed. If the product manager fails the other will work.

Almond milk is only good for weight loss and fart free. I went back to low fat milk for smoothies because it has protein, Almond milk only has a gram of protein and one carb so it's not so great for a diabetic.

I'm down to 182lbs. !0 years ago I was 280. 7 months later I' still trying to get back upper body strength and my abs are still weak. I have caffeine free diet Coke which taste good but I hardly touch it. I drink more flavored waters and decaf tea. Plus I drink a glass of red wine every other day. Most of my snacks are unsalted almonds and walnuts.

One still has to have some knowledge of an instrument to make it sound authentic.

I got my AC1 down to 5.9. I was taken off of insulin back in August. I got one of those portable pedal bikes to exercise and I walk around the block after supper. Another issue was high blood pressure which is probably hereditary. The nice thing is I only have to check my glucose 6 times a week. My goal is to keep it under 130. My doctor was impressed with my blood test and see him in 6 months. I've had to put some effort in maintaining my health with exercise and diet. Sad that you have to wait for the shit to hit the fan to take action. Going to the grocery store can seem like the land of depravity. No need to walk down the cereal or candy aisle with death staring at you. I still go down those aisles. It's like looking up an old girlfriend just to see how she looks. I also have nueropathy which I probably had for 10 years. That was probably hereditary and diabetes made it worse. I spent 6 weeks with no medication for it. I have to take 4 pills for it with 2 at night. Gabapentim can also create Dimentia but it's either that or a load revolver to solve the pain. That bad thing is when my blood sugar went down from 600+ the neuropathy is also in my right hand pinky and the finger next to it. They move fine but they are numb. This creates a problem playing a flute since your pinky helps balance it and there are times certain notes will almost cause it to roll out of my hands. I also started exercising with a fitness ball. The biggest challenge is not to roll of it.

I still have WD and Seagate HDD that are still working almost 10 years. I'd be afraid to invest in a 2TB SSD. Computer hardware prices are higher these days. The best deals always seem to be the 500gb SSDs. If I was wise enough to delete most of the sample stuff I never use I could probably get by easily with 4 500gb SSDs. Developers are into bloat these days even the OS.

The best Bandlab videos are Why pay for them?

There's always this love/hate relationship with IK. I somehow end up having a lot of their stuff and rarely use it because I forget it's there. I can't stand Waves or Steinberg because they have the worst user friendly agreements.
