The plugin has a splash page at launch that says it will get progressively more annoying over time. FYI

Without anyting else running certainly sounds like there is another issue going on. 8 Gigs of RAM is on the low side, but shouldn't be a show stopper if the DAW + Union is basically all that is going on.

Lots of factors. Depends on the GEN of the processor, as well as your RAM, etc. Not to mention how much you have going on in your project. If you are nto seeing any resource problems in your project then you should be fine. I usually have to put some synths + effects as one of my first tracks then Freeze the track to free up that processing. I certainly have other things that can be worse than Union.

You are correct. A difference of £0.41 I think it is a pretty good deal and could get usable content even without the velocity aspect. Wish it was less CPU intensive, but lots of VSTi are that way these days.

Don't think it was cheaper. Agree it is a bit of a resourse hog, but I'm pretty sure they updated to include velocity responsiveness , or at least that is what I read.

Very nice reverb. CM version is fairly feature rich, but this adds quite a bit of control and more sound options. Unfortunattly after Phonenix Verb and XenoVerb both at $10 a piece recently. A $50 verb plugin (though different) is tough to swollow.

For every 1 musician that uses a staff view there are easily 100 or more that do not use them on any regular basis.

The number of people that would jump ship with a switch to such a model would far exceed those that would jump on board. Not to mention the dramatic cost increase in needed to buy data center solutions around the globe to handle a free application with a very limited user base.

Just press the "i" key (and then drag the cursor up on that section and it will no longer be there). You seem to be missing the point of what it can do, and it is only visible if you engage it. If you re-arrange to your liking there seems to be a commit arrangement function which would then place things in the time line in the new order you specify, audio and midi. While I normally have what something will look like mapped out, or have a mentality of , I'll just re-do it. This seems very useful. Now I just want something like a chord track where I can visually see chord changes that isn't tied to a tiny marker.

I've seen this a few times with the previous build, nothing new.

I've tired that one. Your thumb is always on the buttons on the side, and with that many buttons in a cluster, it can be more challenging to get used to the exact placement of each without looking at it (i.e. hit the wrong button). The 602 I mentioned almost treads on that territory and it has even less buttons - though they are out of the way if you do not want to use them and grip as a traditional mouse. That kind is very much a try to see if it actually works for you. Logitch makes a similar layout as well.

Button placements are different, both are "solid " as far a s mice go. 402 the button that is positioned where the thumb rests could be good or bad, just think about how you hold a mouse and what you might assign to that button. The 602 all the buttons feel are out of the way, but there to use with some dexterity. The 602 has two modes in term s of power consumption and latency. Use rechargeable batteries. But latency is not a concern at all especially in the high drain mode. This isn't like old wireless tech. It updates a ridiculous number of times a second and has a very high DPI which is also adjustable (both of them do). They use a special reciever that is not compatible with the "unifying" tech...the unifying tech ones do not have the same refresh rates. I haven't used the 502, but should be a fine mouse as well . The 402 is a better value than what I've seen on the 502. I personally don't need the insane 16K DPI it has on tap, something I'd never use. The weight system it has in it might be nice. With a 602 it can run off of one or 2 AAs and so that is how I get a variation in weight that meets my needs. 402 as it does't take batteries will be light (more like your current mouse). I personally like a little weight to the mouse, but that is all a matter of preference. I do own the 602, 402, and a number of other logitech mice. I have 602s for Home/DAW/Photography/Video Editing as well as what I use for work Systems/Data. You can program the buttons differently depending on which application you are using. , and save presets to load in the mouse one at a time or they can be stored on the computer.

I think I'm tearing up a little. ?

I don't game either, but you might be doing yourself a disservice by not considering what having programmable buttons can do for your DAW workflow. Do you click "t" to bring up the edit tool? Well you can assign that or any other combination of buttons to something on the mouse. Once you get used to it, chances are you won't want to use a simple mouse again. My go-to is the Logitech G602. Never used once for gaming. If you are used to a cord, the 402 is worth a look.(on sale at target for under $22)

Pulsar = ilok Audiority = no ilok both have demos.

And comes with Pro Channel versions of each. (still waiting for the Pan Knob pro-channel)

Pretty sure the last one was in January. So we are now getting closer to 3 months. There is also this corona virus thing that is impacting businesss globally. Without obvious activity during this time, I think it is a fair question to ask. I wasn't worried, but I can understand how others would be curious.

Wouldn't the helpful post indicate which ones are good , in your opinion?

Can't feel sorry for anyone that doensn't own one yet. There have been tons of free giveaways for the Elements line of products over the past couple of years.

This is what I was going to post in reponse as well. Web and app development are two different things and the site hasn't always done this. If they get it straighted out I might grab the union presets I don't have and a couple of the plugins offered that I don't (have most in this bundle). Got some use out of the Bus s Comp and Glitch (bus comp isn't the best one I have, but it does allow multiple computer installs which is of value to me and therefore has seen some use)

Those were released over 2 weeks ago, get with the times. ?

Wasn't IKs credit only good for up to 30 % of the purchase price?

This. Only thing holding me back. Ran the demo but not sure it is worth it to me personally tied to one instance and ilok (which if the HD fails, will then be a pain to try to get another copy). Quick test and wasn't getting as much useful cool effects as I imagined it would be. I"m sure it is there under the hood, but also seems like it will take a deep dive to get there. Will see , have some time to ponder.

Thanks, I just found it in the on-line manual with some digging. It allows up to 3 computer installs (Xenoverb) I'm also considering Excalibur on top of it. Got Phonenix verb which is truly excellent sounding, however the 1 single install has me annoyed given I run multiple machines (one at a time). Excalibur I'm guessing is the exact same.

Very cool, FYI to others the installer for the EQ is a jaw dropping 780 megs. ?
