Odd that they still haven't added this to be a stand alone app. You can create your own stuff with MSound Factory.

Odd that for the first time Analog Lab did not do this and the rest did.

Well in some ways they did. Cakewalk added a step sequencer and working with loops has been fine. Strange as it is people unaware of FL don't know it was a midi first app. I remember trials of FL came with the retail Home Studio CD. I started to like it over what seemed to be a more cluttered GUI in Sonar. Cakewalk was often first in innovation. They were first with 64 bit. They started with the idea of the .OMF format. The sad thing is when software is acquired the end user rarely benefits. Sometimes those that acquire can run into problems. See Magix. I guess Magix Acid is not a competitor either I have no issue with a company sponsored forum blocking such things. Image Line did it long before here.

Meanwhile I see some posts that seem to appear as free advertising.

Always tempted to buy this.

Meanwhile I would check the other deals on their site.

No shortage of poor web development these days. AI isn't the answer either since who do you think programs those?

I find it interesting that when some developers create a new version after Sept. you don't see a BF deal. One developer didn't need to so it since their upgrade price is a great deal to begin with. That's the Yamaha boys who still have a great upgrade price. I do hope in a few years Sonar will not be sub only. I collect DAWs and I'd add it to my collection. I'll assume most of their new users are not in North America. I guess there are still users using their older paid versions of Sonar.

https://yurtrock.com/ Finally got the complete battery bundle for $40.

raise the price thinking no one will notice Seen that quite a bit

Great products, horrible licensing. If there licensing wasn't so unappealing they wouldn't be the leaders in the race down to zero. The hobbyist eventually realizes WUP is a turnoff after getting those free and cheap but great plugins.

I think I'm getting more turned off with free with purchase. We spend more time searching for that bottom dollar item to get it. You basically end up with 2 things you rarely use

Pricey for something that is basically a preset. That's always the case when an artist name is attached to it.

Most of the anti PC is a myth. Then again people bought cheap laptops will eventually look toward buying Apple. I know I would but I detest portability and small screens.

Same here. I'm done with developers that do this. There's no shortage of good plugins these days.

So this must be about few people use the software to begin with.

I think most of my Arturia deals were never on Black Friday.

I could buy one plugin to install on 3 machines

I don't recall them having an all Choirs bundle like this. Aetheria Choir and Lacrimosa Pro I don't recall seeing. If you buy Lacrimosa Ultra it comes with Aetheria. That whole bundle gonna take up a lot of disk space.

It's not for us hoarders who open DAWs just for the plugins to scan.

I have Yamaha practice mutes for trumpet and trombone. I refer to them as silencers when I kill music.

I think the only thing the makes the EZ line great is their player. It can be a money pit since their libraries are about styles. Plus they take up disk space. I get plenty of 3rd party emails where their midi prices are a lot more than the sample packs with midis from many producers. I always bite on their $9 midi packs. Some are great and some are so so that are not drums. The EZ key line is the real money pit. Look at all of the synths and pianos you already have and it's their player that's the draw. I was thinking about the Synthwave but just about every synth I have contains synthwave presets. I've bought some sample packs that come with midi, wav, and project demos to load into some DAWs. Those can be used as templates. I did go for the Electronic Pop keys, Jazz and Neo Soul midis. BTW they changed the EULA. It's kinda confusing. Is it for one system or all in your account? INSTALLATION. You (one user) may download, install and use a Product on one computer or on more than one computer only if these computers form a single production unit or constitute separate workstations necessary for the task at hand and belong to the same owner. The number of concurrent installations of a Product is limited by the provisions or authorization process on the Toontrack Music website or the copy protection system included in a Product. If the Product does not have a copy protection system, no more than two concurrent installations are permitted. The number of permitted concurrent installations are subject to change without notice They do things right with distribution which NI still can't get right.

My local GC has limited high end gear so it wouldn't be as serious if that happened. I guess a lot has to be said about the building construction.

For all of the IK bashing elsewhere it's nice to see developers actually upgrading their products. 90% of the time other developers are upgrading their distribution apps.
