That's fine, but this should really be in a different thread.

Nope, I'm gonna stick with the members tradition of of staying off topic in a deals thread.

I should add BTW how does it compare to <insert synth here> so we can see 5 videos about it.

I wonder if they will ever have a working demo.

When you have FL everything I think anytime there is an update with a new product you get it included.

I bought it when they included the VSTs and don't really use them in another DAW.

Gee more 808 stuff is what the world needs.

People seem to ignore who the developer is.

The BIG issue I have with the idea of a USB mic is the quality (lack there of) of a lot of USB ports to this day, and controller for said ports. I’ll stick to proper mics with XLR ports and cables. 
 

I think the concept is a nice easy fix for some people.. but. Nope. 

and more latency than traditional hardware

It could be worse like wanting you to pony up $$ for what seems like an annual upgrade with little features.

Well, how I love installer monoliths like Native Access! ?

Just now I discovered that it had deleted some of the manuals with some updates (Absynth5, Battery4, FM8, Solid*, ...)! ? Is this user friendly deleting the manuals without user notification?

I am 100% sure that once the manuals were there, because there are still file links that I had created!

I loathe all of them.  Some will install those digi ones, 32 and 64 bit,  I only do vst3 these days to limit confusion.

I'm struggling with learning to make do with the 200+ synths that I already have... ?

I feel nothing but shame whenever I visit the OSC (One Synth Challenge) and listen to the winning songs that were produced using only one synth (with multiple instances) to create all of the sounds used.

Especially this from OSC#159, featuring Surge XT:

https://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/2022/osc-159-surge-xt

"This song is made with only one open-source synthesizer called "Surge XT" in the Digital Audio Software "Reaper" with only a few free effects (EQ, Compressor, Limiter)."

 

Just finished a course on Live and you really don't need 3rd party stuff.

Amazing the stuff I've heard in FL using their 3xOsc.  People cranked out a lot if music in Reason before they created REs. 

I have everything in FL, Live, Reason and then add Arturia to the mess and those zillion Kontakt synths.

I find synths are more about trends.  You rarely see EDM producers use more than 3 synths.

Just trying to save some of you lost souls from spending big bucks on a new synth, when all you may really need is the baby one...

Also plays most Zebra presets.

I've gotten to the point where I don't need another synth in my life. 

 I guess this escaped the mods.

How useful would this be if I already had Spitfire BBCSO and EastWest Hollywod Brass Diamond? Thx!

In my world none.  EW Brass is more than enough.

I heard this collection was a little disappointing. Any opinions out there?

Most vocal ones are.

Magix upgrades are lackluster even at those prices.  They are not Sony.

I've moved away from getting these subs.  The free stuff isn't worth the price of a discounted sub.  Plus taking time to read them.  If someone who is limited in plugins (I wish) the CM Suite is a nice collection of free stuff.  Some of their 3rd party players will load presets.

If one wants to experiment with programming samplers their libraries contain plenty of one shots.  Music Radars site usually have those for free anyway,

This deals forum is a sub-forum of the Coffee House, open to music related discussion that is not necessarily Cakewalk related.

There are users of many DAWs in here, even including some non-Windows users. So enjoy some diversity!

Yep there was some ignorance with a member of 15 posts.  FL is also a VST which cane be used in Bandlab.

It's also nice to know which plugins crash in certain DAWs.

 If you are not really into drum sounds these things are a dime a dozen. 

Arturia >>>>>>>>Waves free offerings.    5 machine limit.

So, Music Radar Tech... not to be confused with Music Tech?

Stupid reaches new heights every day.   I preferred Future Music

Someone post the link for this instead of the click bait type thread. 

 I've been going with Crucial and WD because of the 5yr warranty.   Also check the price of their 2TB $157.65.

Can anyone find those so called legacy installers on Izotope?  Product Portal seems to never work on one machine. 

This was a kneejerk $29 upgrade.  I've never really used it and I could probably accomplish the same thing with Melda MXXX, FL Studio, or Live.

I grew up in a musical family and played publicly since I was 4 but had an injury 22 years ago that stopped me from playing, so now my playing ability is very poor, but it doesn't stop me. I really wish more of us would share our music with each other.

Once in a while I post a song in the forum. I wish more of the regulars here would do the same. 

We are way too busy trying to buy or avoid stuff to do such a silly thing.

I resisted GAS. I demoed Rotary and Wall and compared to what I already have. I was not able to tell a difference. And IKMs Leslie sounded better to me.

I wish I could resist the kind that goes in a tank.  Maybe, just maybe a bad economy will put me in contentment.  That's a long-shot.
