    NI Summer of Sound 2025 Starts May 22

    in Deals

    Posted

    I accidentally bought CE update and not upgrade. Got a refund and went with the usual UE. 

    I probably won't install most of the new stuff since I don't need a bloated Ukulele

    Space management becomes more of an issue these days.  The beauty of Kontakt is you can place those libraries anywhere you want without issues.

    I often wonder if there is any point of keeping those factory libraries.  

    I often wonder if there is poll of most used NI libraries.  

    I miss the old days where you could download the ISOs from your account.

    I have to wonder if there is any point keeping Kontakt 7 anymore.

    What did you do?  

    I didn't notice these were missing until now.

    Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll go back to the old way of making their stuff work, that was useful and didn't constantly break systems. 

     

    Their present way caused me to give up on them entirely because their updates would break things pretty much every time I went to use their stuff, and instead of making music I'd have to troubleshoot things, which was depressing and wasted all my time so I didn't get to make any music.  :( 

     

    Since their support would only uselessly say to remove and reinstall and redownload all the many gigabytes of stuff again everytime there was any problem, and they would never fix their actual problems with their stuff, I ended up just removing everything of theirs and now I'm much happier with the tools I already had that "just work".   

     

    If they would make it so it just worked locally, no internet connection and no login required, and you just use the version that you already have that just works, no updates or checks required, *then* it would be useful for music.   Otherwise, it's just a headache not worth dealing with. 

    That's a pipe dream. Chances are greater things will get worse. 

    So often they get rid of the previous people responsible for coding and a long decline to being obsolete.

    I'm sure it will also ignite the sub pandemic.

    Here's what's new

    What’s New

    Pianoverse, with its 9 pianos and 33 cinematic spaces

    The full version of TONEX + 9 Signature Collections

    AmpliTube Morley Collection with 3 classic stompbox FX

    T-RackS 6’s streamlined workflow and 10 new processors

    ARC 4, boosting faster calibration and stunningly natural results

    I doubt I'll ever get around to downloading the space hogging pianos.  The requires purchasing more space.

    Plugin Boutique - Tax Craziness

    It was still the same! TC8210 was $21.00 if I looked at their page in USD without login. After login and going on to payment it increased to more than $32 !!!

    But the price-tax thing has never been transparent at Plugin Boutique. Though I have never had a case like this with such an excessive price increase. Also, there is no explanation of the price change, only a hint that it has changed. IMHO this isn't acceptable at all! But EU opens a lot of doors for such cheats with their internet tax rules introduced some years ago!

    I would avoid PB then.  No shortage of vendors offering the same deals.

    Then there is a reality for me that never sets in.  If a have to go through a bunch of hoops I probably don't need it but I somehow buy it because it was a challenge.

    I wanted to purchase a deal of TC Electronic at Plugin Boutique, but when I logged in the price in the cart raised by more than 50% !!!!

    Even if we have very high VAT taxes in Sweden, this exceeds the tax by far! Are they crazy or is this the usual hidden EU customs duty???

    So does it change when you go further?   Often it is estimated until final checkout.

    Firstly; Help us Obiwan @Larry Shelby!

    Toontrack Weekend Deals

    About 10% off at Bestservice when you add in the BestCoin.
    EZX Action! $35.07 ($1.17 Best Coin) Action Drum Midi $8.09 (.27 BestCoin) EZKeys Fantasy Movie Score Midi $8.09 (.27 BestCoin)
    Searching Best can sometimes be tedious, this is all I had the patience for. And remember, the BestCoin shows up in your account for use on the next purchase.

    Now I don't find any of TT's "Deals" all that Life Changing, but I never pass on the $9.00 midi. I'm committed to the eco system; What can I say?

    That is all...

    t

    Especially if they are direct from ToonTrack.

    These are decent deals but not that interesting.
