Interesting my Samplitude - Standalone Application upgrade from any version is $185. They also reverted back to two authorizations. A company seems to be clueless how competitive the DAW industry is. The only upgrade that costs more is Live Suite.

Soundforge Pro 17 makes this worth it.

I still prefer their kontakt libraries

local schools could probably use these

they hope someone has ignored the often 40% off deals. as for EDU they always have a deal so why would they want to take a look

the plugin broker scheme...........I'm surprised that isn't dead yet with the race down to zero

Most TV performances were not actual performances.

why would one do this? You would be getting duplicate licenses.

I have a much older SE with a wide fat. The 1st generation I guess they call it. I do suck a changing strings.

Hoping MS ditch that TMP thing. I guess it wouldn't bother to pay to keep W10 updated. W10 was free when it came out. If DAW developers start pushing for W11 as a minimum requirement a lot of my unnecessary buying will slow down. I will probably have to be more involved in learning Reaper if it comes that far. The developer that worries me will be NI. I'm getting more into if it aint broke even when it comes to OS updates. As hardware gets more advanced developers get more sloppy.

only if you don't install it

wouldn't that be the real definition of remix my brain still can't wrap around what a remix is.....

why would any developer ever put a new product in after a group buy meanwhile as an IK fanboy - this just isn't really appealing at all

and if you thought HO OPUS was bloated..............definitely need another drive for this

I seem to get everyone's Prime orders since they can't seem to read Unit numbers. I got these 2 packages recently that were not mine and Amazon's policy it to keep them. I called them and they would have a drive pick them up. I just left them on my patio for a week and never happened. What was missing was the Unit number for the street. It's a condo area and I didn't know the person's name. The packages were a bunch fiber optic cable connectors. Pretty useless for me. I would never order PC components from Amazon and I've heard New Egg has ruined it's reputation for sending used components. My last build was on 2020 and everything was fine from New Egg. Yet I don't trust them either. Usually I order drives from Best Buy since I go pick it up. It seems ordering boards and CPUs might be more of a risk these days. Best Buy (if they have it)>New Egg (never had issues)> Amazon (seems to large to effectively monitor quality control)

Not for me. If someone recommends something that I always fall for it. I just somehow need another string library despite using Arturia, Sylenth, and a whole lotta other synths. But at least the confusion is now greater if I want to do something with orchestra

Does anyone stop and think how far we go for something that is labeled free?

https://community.native-instruments.com/categories/kontakt I think I'll pass on this one

It was a mistake on their website. So I don't have them.

check you account first. I almost bought these but somehow these are free.

May not be wise to update. GUI changes are rarely good. From one user at Vi Control EDIT: After some digging - it appears that any library lacking a resource file called: NKS2_hardware_banner.webp Will not display a panel in K v8.7 So it's either hack one together (if that's your thing) or wait and see if you vendor ever makes one. It might be wise to go to NI's forum before installing any of their "updates".

This one doesn't suck. I still remember that had a TV show. I wonder if any classic channels show them

Edge, Firefox, Google I'm not talking about security but functionality. I still use Firefox because it still have those menus on top. Google ditched those menu and not allowed addons to to that. Download Them All is a great Fire Fox extension. I also use Roboform which means you can't use those other esoteric browsers. I imagine people used IE6 till they couldn't just based on layout. Developers have moved up on my no parachute on a plane list. Bill Maher''s video is an eye opener. Developers just have this warped view of functionality. They are like a home cleaning service that comes in an rearranges you house so you have to search just to find a fork. Extreme torture for me would being forced to use a browser on a phone. Developers are treating desktops users as a dying breed. The #1 rule in needed to be taken outside the city stoned is when developers have to mess with the GUI, they can't leave it alone. When DAW developers do that they ether revert or made a good compromise. (see Reason 13) People still use Kontakt 6 because that's one less click to make K8 easier. Who ever thought that when iTunes came out that our DAWs in plugins are becoming like that.

Only install VST3 and deleting is easier. Their install manager is one of the few that are obedient to user settings.
