Well. I used my paypal account which is linked to my credit card if that is what you mean.

APD changed the price to $29.90.

Not sure what you are on about. My Computer Music subscription is through PocketMagazines and I paid with Paypal. I have used Zinio in the past, and paid with PayPal. Could it be a problem with the country you are in?

Oh, I get it. Wavesynth for synthwave.

Now I am going to really show my age. My first programs were written using punched cards and fed into an IBM 360/370 mainframe. My first actual computer was an Atari 400 with a tape drive, followed by a Commodore 64 with a single floppy drive. This was followed by an Atari 520ST. The great thing about the ST is that it had MIDI ports and I bought a Yamaha DX21 to hook up to the ST and wrote my own crude sequencer to control it. Glory days they were.

Luxury! Back in my day, we were over the moon when double sided double density floppy disks were introduced with a whopping 720KB capacity. And we couldn't believe it when high density was introduce with 1.2MB total.

Ya. Me too. I used to be interested in Wusik's stuff, and he did develop a few useful things, but his marketing style and erratic development have given me such a bad taste, that I have pretty much written him off. He has been promising and selling upgrades to Wusik Station 10 for so long now, it is a bit of a joke. Now I see little mention of WS 10 on his site at all. I hate to say it but he spends more time on marketing schemes (Patreon, group buys, deep discount sales), than he does actual coding. I know he struggles with mental health issues and I wish him the best. I am just not going to invest any more time or money into his products.

I went ahead and bought it as well. I am actually having a lot of fun with it. It is actually a pretty good bit of kit. I was a bit hesitant because development has stopped completely it seems. There was talk about additional guitars including an acoustic guitar and other features but that was back in 2013 and nothing since. It does have midi out and midi drag and drop so you are not limited to the guitars it comes with that issue is mitigated somewhat.

Looks like I need to download the demo and try it out. I watched some videos on the Sugar Bytes site and am now more interested.

This is really old software and this review from 2010 was not that great. https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/sugar-bytes-guitarist-303497 The current version is only 1.05 and it does not seem that much has changed since 2010 (except dropping 32 bit support). Does anybody have any recent experience with this? Like Vernon, I was initially interested. Not so much now.

Cut my Tull teeth on Aqualung and Thick as a Brick. Even did the crossword puzzle and connect the dots!

Apparently, there are Pro owners over at KVR who have been able to get them... https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=559501 Also this is from the email I received:

Direct link https://emergenceaudio.com/product/quantum-source-code/ So what makes this "source code"? I got so excited, thinking this was something I could feed into my compiler.

I was mostly referring to hardware drivers, not installed software. Having to re-authorize installed software is not a Windows 10 issue but a function of the copy protection used by the software. I just cloned 5 Windows 10 drives today ( smaller to larger drives) with absolutely no problem. The computers booted up fine with Windows 10 fully licensed.

You should have little problem if you are cloning the drive and putting it back into the same computer. I have actually found Windows 10 to be less picky about hardware changes than XP as long as you don't change the way the hard drive is accessed in the BIOS, aka AHCI vs IDE/Legacy vs RAID).

Yes. Sphere and Pro users. Not for Artist and below.

I just found out that CM and FM are available through my local library using RBDigital. That is a better deal than even $1/issue.

Future Music is also available. Anybody have any experience with Future Music? Is it a good read in addition to CM or does it cover the same territory?

Sort of how I feel about a couple of other companies that shall remain nameless.

"Today only"...let's see if it still says that tomorrow, or Tuesday, or all this week.

Still now news on Terry?

I have found new homes for all my spare AAS serials. My AAS account feels significantly lighter.

Yes. I hate this "premium only feature" BS. At least with Amplitude 5, they made it so you can hide presets for equipment you do not own. I hated that in 4. You click on a preset only to have it tell you that you do not own everything required for the preset and that it may not sound right.

The ice cream truck still passes by my house in the summer. Still have to fight that urge to run out and flag down the truck.

So I bought the AAS Humble Bundle and contacted AAS to see if they would exchange some of my duplicates for different packs. They were generously willing to give me two different packs. However, I still have a number of duplicates which are doing me no good and only cluttering up my AAS account. I am feeling rather generous, because of AAS's generosity to me so I want to give away what I can't use. I think I can just pass them off to others by filling out a form on AAS's site. I don't believe there is any transfer fee. Here is what I have to give away... Lounge Lizard Session 4 Strum Session 2 (x2) Ultra Analog Session 2 (x2) Angelicals Cinémathèque (x2) Multiverse Synbiosis PM me if you want any of these. I don't want anything for them. Maybe just pay it forward to someone else someday.
