+1 own it but don't really use it. Designed to work better with larger keyboards - and two hands Scaler 2 just makes a lot more sense to me for similar stuff. But for $10, it does come with quite a few chord progression ideas.

This is an old video series about Sonar (before it became cakewalk by bandlab) that being said this series of 50 videos cover s a ton and the vast majority are basically teh same as current release (or at least provide a guide) Very first video is audio interface setup

The terms and conditions on the trial of Imprint state it is only a license for one single machine. This is unusual as my other WA Productions purchases do not have this limitation in practice. Any chance you can confirm /deny if this is actually the case? Anwered my own question, does install on 2 machines.

Aware Reaper is efficient - but really don't bond with it. There are tons of other EQs and Compressor on the market that sound "good enogh" and don't have the CPU hit. My workflow includes a lot more than EQ in my projects though.

They make cool stuff....but until they make more efficient coding, the only real market for the products are for Mastering or pros/hobbiests with really powerful machines and disposable income.

Sorry don't think that is the case here. Many of us begged Larry to move to the Cakewalk by Bandlab forum when the Sonar one was shutting down, we knew his involvement here is key to value and success of the forum.

Even at 75% off, I'd pass. It doesn't sound like you are sold on it either.

Cool but seems like a resource hog for a saturation plugin in some quick tests. (just word of caution for those with older/lower spec machines)

Almost agree except a stock computer isn't going to come with enough RAM. Most in that range are going to be 8 gigs and honestly 16 should be about the minimum (maybe 12 if one is not using many effects/vsts or tracks). But 8 really isn't enough. Other than that, as long as the computer has the graphics abilities to run Premiere Pro (OP likely needs to look up the requirements for that - without a dedicated graphics card) if he is going to get an off-the-shelf machine. Stock computers have plenty of CPU these days, and make sure to get an SSD for the operating system and enough to load the programs you have. Separate drive for Audio/Video projects. Note Premiere Pro will default storage to the C drive, and that can take up a lot of space.

Maybe move it to the Instruments and Effects forum? Doesn't really belong in the deals thread.

In Larry's absense, the deals section has lost all law and order....as well as actual deals. ?

I believe this is just how Hidden set it up. If he chose to do so, I beleive the option to buy it would have been there. Other reports suggest Splice is the only way to accept payment, and for many of us, that is a limiting factor.

Seems strange, I looked them up expecting to see better rates or some advantage over Paypal in that area for the person receiving the payment, but the terms don't look any better. In fact, it looks like anyone opening a dispute about a charge will also hit the seller with a $15 dispute fee. Hope they get paypal added.

Also move Jamstix to the top of the list.

Larry's post was from March. Thread was bumped by someone else.

Along these lines as a supplement to them: ChordPotion

It says "upgrade". Those that did this deal, did you keep ilok seats for both Phoenix and Excalibur in addition to the Nimbus seat addition?

Also happy (and a little surprised) to report that it installed on 3 machines that I own. Based on other Reason products (with the dongle) I wasn't sure if they were going to allow it. Not really much in the package that you can't get for free that sounds as good or better though with other plugin makers. (IMO) But it is nice to have these within Bandlab, and I just uninstalled my old version of Reason that I installed with the intention of rewiring it, but never felt it was worth it.

It has been working well enough for a while now since release. I'm surprised they didn't raise the rate even more, unlike the vast majority of other VSTs on the market, this one actually supplies some real value to music creation.

Hit the drop down menu. Not sure why it defaults to the old, but should be there .

Would be a complete waste of development resources. Virtually no-one uses Linux on a primary machine (or a secondary one).

Yeah, that is what I thought to. I can't imagine there would be an issue based on this fact. But don't know, my version of reason is older than that and I never use it.

The Rack is here is a plugin. Does Reason 10 come with a VST plugin option?

I'm sure I'll grab this once I figure out something to buy. But not exactly earth shattering stuff in the package. The few VSTis in there are literally about 18 years old.
