I don't know your background @marled. Have you actually done any software development? It is a complex process. Just because a plugin works in your environment does not mean it will for everyone everywhere. When a bug is reported and fixed, an update is released for everyone whether you need it or not. Moving libraries around was only one example of things that can cause problems. You are correct in that it should be relatively easy to support. But the miriad of DAWS available is another issue and to test for all DAWs is a momumental task that takes time and resources, even for a simple plugin. There is an axiom that the only bug free piece of software is one that does not do anything useful. The old Sonar plugins still run so smooth because they are Windows only and Microsoft has tried to maintain backward compatibility. They also do not try to use new features that can be found in modern day processors. They are also not nearly as complex as something like SampleTank. I am not trying to justify shoddy coding. There are lazy software developers out there who provide poor support. But I think we are quick to complain sometimes not understanding the complexities involved in trying to support even simple tools.

True. My comment was supposed to be a bit cheeky.

The policy is good for Apple, but not so good for developers and end users. And it works well in the phone space. However Apple's PC market share is still only 15%. I have a perfectly good Mac Mini that would run the current OS X if Apple would let it. In fact, I shoed horned it in and it run with absolutely no problems. But Apple support policy won't allow me to officially upgrade. And unfortunately, current versions of some Apple programs won't run on older OS Xs. So I either throw the hardware out or go the non-official route.

DEXED is only a 3.25 MB downloads. Just saying...?

Part of the problem with the current ecosystem is the diversity of platforms that need to be supported. Some people like to move their libraries from the default location to any where there is space. There are different OS's and even different versions of the same OS. There are different processors, different motherboards , different antivirus` programs, and different graphics cards. It is naive to think that you can release software that will work in every configuration without bugs, even for simple plugins. And thus the need for updates.

It is 2021 and they are just releasing 2012 versions? ????? Actually it is just the title that is wrong.

Never heard of JRV before and now in the same day, there is a bump and a APD deal. What is going on here?

If you are Canadian, you get the same US price in Canuck dollars. Now that is a good deal.

Sale excludes the Vintage Gent.

I just did that!

That is how I discovered the link I posted.

Hmm. It wasn't for me. Unless I missed it somehow. Anyway, I am happy with Humanized.

What do we want? Our AAS Free Gift. When do we want it? NOW! Just discovered you don't have to wait for the eMail. Just go here... https://www.applied-acoustics.com/portal/gift/ log in and voila, you can pick your free gift! P.S. Analog Orchestra is not one of the choices. Humanized is though.

But, but, but the banner says NEVER ON SALE. Are you saying you don't believe them? I am shocked!

Interesting. I made the purchase at T&S at 7:38 PST and received the key at 7:39 PST.

Oh right. Brain fart.

$25 vouchers are a sight more useful than the $50 vouchers.

I just went to the subforum and found that the hierarchical library lists has been requested multiple times. It sounds like the feature request is pretty long. I realize that Unify is only a couple of years old and has lots of room for growth. It has come a long way though, and I am loving it.

I used APD cash quite a bit back when I first started out but not any more. I have $528 in rewards and the scary thing is how it reflects how much I have spent there.

So what is essential about this bundle again? I think I would call it "Muze Bloated Bundle".

I have just started using Unify. It is a great piece of software, hard to descibe but really useful and fun to play with. I have Unified a bunch of libraries myself. I haven't submitted anything yet though. Having all those libraries Unified though makes me wish that Unify and a hierarchical library list. My Library list is starting to get a bit unwieldy. I also wish that when you select a library, the Categories and Tags were limited to what was found in the selected library. I suppose I should submit some feature requests.

You didn't miss much.

I wasted about 15 minutes of my life trying to figure out what I could use the coupon on and decided there was nothing I really wanted. And yes, Wavesynth Pro was the first thing I tried too.

Give me those giga-bytes!!!

So will this be the last freebie, do you think? Or do I need to continue getting up at the crack of dawn?
