This one doesn't require boutique hardware. It's still fun to play.

I would've love Sin Player if it came out 20 years ago when they average person couldn't afford the price of most sample libraries. I would have liked to purchase just a small piece needed. That was back when Gigastudio was king. Not sure what I'm gonna get this year. Last year I got one for the Phoenix library. Their libraries sure are pricey for not having to pay a Kontakt license.

Too bad I don't like the Sine Player.

I got an Maschine Expansion even though I don't have the hardware other than a M32. So I got Lores and Fables base on everyone's recommendation. I was too stupid to figure out the tax trick. Often the expansions also come with Massive X presets and there are also one shot and loops to use in other ways. Too bad that voucher couldn't be used on hardware.

I've been doing that for 20 years.....like next year will be different?

Yes.

Got Ozone 11 advance upgrade for $99. Suck they removed the stand alone.

Got Ice Crystals for Chromophone.

Meanwhile I have everything of their and too stupid to figure out how to use them. I guess the every plugin looks like a rocket science and they are not pretty unless you use them in Live and lack of tutorials doesn't make them as popular as they should be.

Someone else would do it instead.

Some of Live's instruments are actually AAS. Chromophone probably has the greatest potential.

I'm not sure the Multiphonics CV-2 is worth the $39 upgrade. They always demo their synths by themselves but how many of them actually would work in a track of other instruments like Spire, Sylenth, and Serum

The knocked the price down on the whole collection. So for $10 more I got all 3 of those instead of just buying XL

I got all of tnese updates last week

Is it not a good idea to upgrade Kontrol? I remember some rumblings about it.

I many ways it is. Melda lifetime updates, no machine limit. Consumer loyalty - the more you byu direct from Melda the bigger the discount on bundles. When you have everything bundle all new plugins are also free.

I guess the only issue with Fab Filter is once someone buys their plugins they don't buy too many plugins from other developers. They are a little pricey for users addicted to $29 plugins. I like their licensing. I hope some larger monster doesn't swallow them up and ruin them.

Ahhhhh......that explains it. I guess my tin foil hat can go away now.

My DAW sense are not about that. It's all of these acquisitions going around. Image Line bought UVI and let them run business as usual. Is UVI eventually gonna be sold off. Ever since the 3 headed monster, I've only bought Komplete and ignore Izotope and PA since their deals aren't luring. I just find this sale a strange partnership.

It sets my DAW conspiracy senses tingling. I get it when it comes to plugins but romplers not so much,

Am I the only one finding it odd UVI products on sale at NI? Is Spitfire next? Sampletank?

I do that with my Sweetwater card. Some items have 3 year interest free financing. I have Cubase and Studio One for $6 a month. I think about upgrading to the CE edition but you have to evaluate that upgrade price vs, are you really getting that much amount in new stuff. SSD prices have went up a bit. That also has to be considered as well. That is where a sample library sub has its advantages. If you want some sounds for short term, you download, then delete it.

Maybe you have to throw some famous names of those who use NI libraries.

Yep....Linux....lost.... in the consumer market.

Whoever thought this statement would exist 20 years ago.
