Due to previous credits?

They changed it, required a checkout process previoulsy. They might have gotten too many compalaints about the coupon not working (thaks to the free product in the cart probelm Eusebio mentions, which was real), and was likley easier just to give the thing away than deal with a barage of messages.

If you like textures it seems quite good. There are a number of patches, some sound like synth pads with a touch more naturalism that you might get from something that wasn't organically recorded. Others sound like processed organic recording sounds. All depends on what you are into, but I think it is a cool give away.

Same here, but I did the same as you....pink floyd presets!

Didn't show up in my custom shop after signing up for the newsletter. Have access to a real Tiny Terror modified by the US lead amp tech. , curious about the emulation here.

Did they have a code in the email blast? I didn't see one.

I do not need that kind of temptation. Real issue is the idea of adding it to a project and then not having it later on. But mostly just a joke.

Down with SUBS!! (even if they are free,) ?

Plugin Boutique sent out an email about it, basically Covid Related free stuff, asked people to sign up for a free account at loopmasters....then sent out these codes a few days later. Doubt it is published publicially anywhere....other than a thread like this.

Effectively when you log in to your account on a different machine the items will say "installed" in some instances you would have to contact customer support to get an additional "reset" to then allow it to install again. It might not be intentinal by design, but it is how it works in the real world.

This was from PluginBoutique.

Edit, spoke too soon. It seems like they now have a one install limitation on the product, that was not in place previously.

Just installed on one of my machines and it looks like it worked! Thanks!

Performance view takes away the image all together and makes it effectively just a keyboard. 1920x1080 resolution in my display settings which matches my 24 inch monitors native resolution. Also tried it on two different machines (same problem on both, 2nd computer is a laptop with a lower resolution native screen). It appears to be an issue with the player, not the sample library. Though note to others, despite it being a free player, it only allows one machine install.

Sounds very good. Annoyingly my edit panel looks like this (and the GUI isn't scale-able)

Here is a "PRO" version of my Theme. This version removes words like "pro channel" and "in/out" from the console view as this assumes you already know where and what they are. This also removes the word "performance" from the performance module. Like the other minimalistic theme, FX Bin, Sends, Pan, and Gain words are also removed. While the location and knobs remain intact. Tones and colors are generally subtle other than "solo" and "armed for recording" as I find these should be flags as I work. The faders are also a stand out, because if you mix with the pro-channel open, you can see they cross over into the "row of faders" you would normally see on an analog console, therefore I want them to be noticeable and not blend in. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jIikZxT88PjAwsiUj-XfuwQaQwZGClE2/view?usp=sharing (updated for 2021.12 - linked corrected Feb 2022)

I'm calling this one Minimalistic as I've removed a number of the visual elements I consider distracting visually (words Pan, Gain, FX, Sends, on the Console View and The small track icon in the Tracks View) Now updated for 2021.12 (see the pro version in post 2 for an updated version):

I'd suggest getting the Soft Tones Highlighted Buttons theme from here: It has a modernist look and also gets rid of some of the unnecessary text in the console view. That being said, this theme is one of the best looking out of all the DAWs on the market. Ableton has a flat modern look, and frankly it looks dreadful, IMO.

If you are looking for Free instruments (such as piano + guitar VSTis) check this thread. There are a few that are excellent, some of which are better than ones I paid for.

T-bone rules and doesn't require ilok like softtube does. Have it installed on each of my computers. Have been shocked at how frequently I use it.

With the company saying the plugin is ready...and Plugin Boutique putting a release date out. Outside of another major covid market change, I think we can safely count on this one. All prevoius announcments seems to have some unknowns with PB 's expectations.

During the virtually only time they ran it on sale? They made comments suggeting buying it during that time vs. waiting for the actual release would not be more expensive. Everything I read suggested it woudl be a paid upgrade, but not more expensive as a total purchase price if purchased during the sale. If you bought it at full retail, well that is unfortunate.

I'm curious as well. Have been beta testing it for a while now myself and look forward to the actual release (honestly wish it was sooner, since my understanding it is ready...they are just trying to time the release) I believe they said the upgrade cost shoudl be "reasonable" will have to see if they have the same definition I do. ?

A the retail price they want, it is fairly surprising they don't offer the "non-all buttons" smahsed option. Got it last time, but honeslty will get super limited use.

Guitar center cables are a rip off. If you are getting cables of any decent quality...even ebay would be a better alternative at this point. If you are buying junk with plastic molded ends then yes, GC provides that quick fix for not much more than the cost of shipping.
