I think going to Studio One would be an easier transition.

I bought this and I like the sound but when the word Jazz is involved in a synth player it should have jazz chords instead of the usual major or minor.

I'm a fan of bland or 8bit looking GUIs. I don't even do color schemes. I love Live's 8bit look. I have all of Melda and working with them seems to be a rocket science. Lack of available know how is their weakness. Reaper use to be that way.

They have a small staff. It's their revenue that is huge. I don't think they even employ over 30 people. They also have their own shop selling presets. They got out of the 3rd party plugin business for now. They also didn't follow the enshitification model even after buying UVI. They let those companies do their own thing. I do buy stuff from their shop which is Flexx presets. I don't do their loop cloud until they start selling midis.

Serum and Spire of you don't have them.

There's a lot of software that's no longer developed and it just works. I've come across those who still use Acid Pro when it was Sony. I guess 64 bit just doesn't impress them.

I don't know a single person who uses Audtion

I've never encountered that. I'm waiting for Image-Line to go out of business after the license I've had for over 15 years.

I tend to see it as a money pit. All of those libraries are genre related. It's their player that shines. Eventually they take up space. I upgraded EZ Keys recently and try to figure out an EZK to get. With Kontakt and the endless VST synths nothing really tempts me. Usually they will have a EZD3 upgrade for $79. It's random.

By Soundpaint standards most likely. In the age of bloated libraries that's almost like floppy disk.

That's why some use loops.

I have plenty of DAWs where no sub is needed. Subs go up in price. How many people have ditched their Prime or Photoshop/Lightroom sub that has doubled or tripled? Will Waves ever recover from their mistake? Intro prices on subs are usually attractive but 5 years later they are not because they are not near the same price. I guess one reason why the stuff shirts favor subs is people are not responsible enough to cancel them or make a person jump though hoops just to cancel. There will always be developers to market against subs. If it became a sub only there's too much damage that only the fanboys will subscribe. Once again we will be dealing with another distribution app that makes using software more of a chore.

That is pretty hard for developers to do these days with a lot of staff. I think the DAW market peaked a decade ago and few prepared for it. Part of this was more hobbyists entering.

I love that Geico commercial when the squirrels high five each other for running a car off the road.

Yet we have a bad habit of jumping through hoops for something free that we will never use.

No big deal. I got use to broken promises with Finale and Gigastudio. I will assume this is a ground up version and not a rewrite.

I think hardware like this can be a risk. You are at the mercy of computer hardware and software.

When places go out of business there is a business in the background that is gonna buy all of the stock. I imagine it will also be manufactures. Fend probably bought back some of it.

This is another one that forces its way into Windows startup.

There is Nu Disco but not in the same vain. Synths replaced skilled players. Some mainstream artist did some great disco.

Every product shines at a super booth.

Unfortunately people like to treat posting here as a game to try to beat Larry. Then you end up with many half assed posts. Wusik is one nobody should ever post. Hornet has sales all of the time but that is a developer worth supporting. Waves has the worst licensing in the industry. What a way to crap on great products.

the title was messed up. It should say iLock down. It looks like Lock down.

Why? I have it but have yet to use it.

YMCA - any DJ who refuses to play that will go broke. I was a disco hater back in the day but now I love a lot of it. I remember seeing Disco Demolition on TV. Sox had to forfeit the game. Like it really mattered. Back to the library. I wish I could get it but then I would have to use it which is not what I do these days. I'm just a collector. Interest I did do a disco tune once with Diginoiz High Heel Vocals and Melodyne. I went through all of the string libraries and the best one was GPO. Too many of them had that orchestral brightness. The Soundpaint does as well but not as bad.
