somehow trying to appeal to egos is not really good marketing

We always come up with new entitlements. Everything is a tipping industry. There are no longer contracts but charities.

Mac minis are probably the best value until Apple decides it's not. I don't like to be held hostage by hardware. It's not just Apple doing that either. MS will have to rethink their TMP requirement. I also had to upgrade a video card just to use Kontakt 7.

I use to buy parts just in case I "ever" wanted to do 200 tracks and a bunch of libraries. Then there was this sense of reality called "why". I've never gone that far. That's the problem with hobbies. People always buy unnecessary gear. See how far people go who play golf for fun. They even have golf balls that are suppose to make your game better. I've got plenty of "game changing" plugins. Interesting how PC hardware rarely dies if you built your own systems. There's a lot of bad and bloated development these days that can bring newer systems to a crawl. A serious gamer now uses a 2tb OS drive. So many new games now tip the 100gb scale.

meanwhile CdB still works for me so far.......

My better system I got the spinning wheel of searching for products 3 times when I open NA. A restart fixed it. Much older system did not have this happen. I squirm every time I open NA.

and it's often not quality with those monthly promises Studio One and Bitwig are annual upgrades. Acronis went sub only and now offer perpetual again,

I still want a fluglehorn. They are pricey even for beginner models.

The temptation of sample hoarding never dies.

Didn't Schecter make one of these? I know it wasn't one of their premier guitars. I remember seeing one at a GC years ago and it wasn't premier priced.

Nope. Just one more orchestra............or become a collector of brands. VSL is out of my budget but EW...........

Like all of mine needed updates.

I didn't see anything called this on their site. I not realized this is not a separate instrument but presets that show up in Sound Factory.

I prefer the individual GUIs instead of them being all ST. It's still the most confusing browser.

requires iLok

Their government is but the people........not so much.

odd that the former Sony products are not on the list

How much disk space? I think each one is 40GB. I've only downloaded one of them but not yet installed.

It doesn't work that way. Are we interested in it only because it's free?

less than the WUP

Misleading title............. not free only with a certain purchase

LOL I get the Something Broke with their app. Now I'm going this rinse and repeat of trying to fix NI style. I'm so tired of not have direct downloads. I have bad luck with with developer's (cr)app. Just get your (cr)app together please. Even if it is open it's not showing in task manager. I had to manually remove the app. Odd during the previous error message it somehow installed the plugin. I also forgot I had a sub to Beat Magazine. I'm about 10 issues behind in looking at it.

all Kontakt I do believe
