Their head chief left the building. My guess is he isn't in to enshitification.
You have to wonder though how many other plugin companies are not increasing sales due to too much stuff out there. Meanwhile the working guy who takes his laptop into a dance venue just uses everything built into Live.
There's a lot of great plugins out there that are never updated because they made it right the first time.
But lemme guess that the slots for using this voucher isn't a deal because the amount of $39 plugins you would buy with it can't be used and the next slot is a much higher amount. It has that NI ring to it.
Meh. Somehow I miss that 5 second window. It also takes more than 5 secs to copy an 80gb file.
Sad we have to come up with half assed work arounds for half assed distribution. This is the new NI.
Meh. I like downloading zip files then I can extract at my leisure. Those go to a drive instead of dealing with the all or nothing. I wouldn't do it your way. I just multi span a library in 6GB sizes. I'll take extract over installed then archive. I was going to do that with HOOPUS but I'll just copy it to another drive and not zip.
The drawback to this is you put the distribution in the hands of Native Asshat. The more chances you take using it the more it will break. Everything I've bought from 8Dio was downloaded directly without using an app. Once downloaded from Asshat, the files get deleted. Imagine having to download everything again in Asshat.
Maybe 8Dio will do like Project Sam where you can only get the files directly.
After being in music education for 30 years I would say it is. Some think kids are turning to DAWs for beats but that is even time consuming to learn. We are not a patient people anymore.
I liked the one in the Chicago Suburbs which was great for wind players. I'd check out the used brass instruments on the wall. You could also test mouth pieces.
Unfortunately some brick and mortar places have suffered from Covid and couldn't regain the losses. People now like to shop online even with grocery stores. I still like to go into buildings. Most of my tech purchases are at Best Buy and not Amazon or Newegg. I order online and go pickup.
This also has to hurt many instrument manufacturers.
I often wonder if people are more into listening to music instead of the processes in performing or creating music.
Were you under a rock when they announced this?
They do. In fact those licenses under elicenser would still work even if you have the iLok versions. You would have to use their older romplers for the old ones to work.
