The crossgrades eventually became free. I have Blue and Ladies and I didn't have to pay for the player version.

The Player is a form of anti piracy for larger libraries. At one time 9 Volt Audio found their Taiko 2 on sites before it was released for sale. Gigastudio lost a lot of developers because they would protect their app but not the libraries. I'm sure some developers could state benefits of using Kontakt player and it's not just piracy.

I don't think it was shady marketing but a mistake they found out. Price drops in music software is a general statement, not so much with sample libraries.

Izotope messed up once and they knew it and decided to run with it. Silence in fixing the glitch instead of attacking people. It's a 2 way street.

That's D16 in a nutshell. GUIs are small. Pass as I don't need another synth,

Not a good one at that. I think I can still authorize Gigastudio 3 from Tascam. I doubt no one cries over losing the Soundspot authorizations. Unfortunately online authorization is what fuels the piracy industry. Usually its only for worthwhile products. People who use their computers for gigging need offline authorization. I guess that where dongles use to rule but stealing dongles is another forum of piracy. I didn't mind Reason authorization since I had it one 4 machines and they app login could be filled in with Roboform and also remember your login, When my internet went out the only machine where I could run it was using their dongle. It's getting more difficult these days to have software that doesn't need to sign in.

Nope. They've been operating that way as long as I can remember. Image-Line doesn't interfere with the companies they bought. They've stated that on their forum. FL users are disappointed that UVI didn't follow Image Line's licensing of moving away from iLok. But we need more speculation to increase the DAW drama. Image Line left the VST market and I doubt any of the developers from Melda and UVI are involved creating parts of FL Studio. You don't see UVI or Melda in the shop unless it's some rare special. The only thing holding Melda back is the resources on how to use them. Reaper was like that at one time.

Especially the Bandlab forum members are evil thieves.

I avoid because I would buy more stuff and totally ignore the how to articles. I've been doing the for ages with CM and Beat.

I guess that would depend on how you use them. Aren't these more for mixing and mastering?

There was a known developer who found his product greatly reduced on MF and was not going to honor the licenses. There was enough negative feedback on KVR to where that changed his mind plus it was a player license. I guess he didn't understand that the reduction was when boxed software was being outdated. Hey but we need more DAW drama.

Pretty lousy opening statement by ISW. They coulda said we fixed the glitch, congrats to those who had a remarkable deal. There's plenty of us who are struggling so spare the poor me. Sometimes developers need to test the sites for glitches or the person responsible for creating them. Shame on you not us. Developers need a sense of diplomacy in these situations and some forums are less forgiving. I'm glad they fixed it since I would have spend $90 on something I didn't really need and forget I have. I wouldn't want to be a library developer. It's to hard to reinvent the wheel and try to make a living at it. But don't bad mouth us for your mistake and spare us the pitty party. BTW I've never had a real vacation in a long time. My biggest request is not to go to a proprietary player. I guess there's some advantages to using NI as a developer. It could be worse where Reason RE/NNXT developers pay up to 50% BTW I think the only time the price inflated is when they are offered on APD. Tokyo Strings would be $1500 MSRP.

With this "deal" you are spending over $600 to get the "value".

I'm done with them until they change their licensing.

That's why they spend more time creating instruments than working on their DAW. I still keep their dongle on a system. At least with their authorization you can install it on all of your systems.

Amplitube is bloated. When you install it installs. I have to go thru the Native Asshat mumbo jumbo to only have it fail, run a registry to to install it. A lot of time wasted. If you have the IK Max version those presets can be overwhelming.

Marie Osmond is still hot.

Piano Colors doesn't seem to justify the space needed after auditioning a few patches . It's basically a synth. What does it really offer that you can't do in the popular synths. But I will probably leave they it on there.

Someone gave me that Pat Boone in a Metal Mood CD. I love it because it's swing band arrangements. I love when songs are covered to different genres. I was working on a EDM version of More Than A Feeling (beck when I was actually using a DAW instead of cruising every deals forum on the planet) but the project got lost.

I always liked Van Halen doing covers. Love this one

I wonder why I even bother with this when you have Amplitube and other amp sims.

Stand alone even Kontakt 6 was slow for me.

Post of the week.

I think I have 12 of those.
