Less if you have Jampoints!

"*JamPoints cannot be combined with the auto-coupon."

Also new purchases and upgrades and the same price again. That really makes be not want to upgrade.

Orchestral Tools Lucent Free flute by Claire Wickes

Quote

Pure tone with a breath of fresh air—Lucent delivers a warm organic sound. A precise and agile flute, but also more. You get a choice of sustains, short notes, and swells, percussive clicks and taps, plus a unique set of tones with piano resonances—actually recorded inside a piano. Put Lucent to work as a solo instrument, use it to add detail to strings or synths, or layer it into your soundscapes. Lucent is a versatile and expressive instrument, conceived and expertly performed by composer and flautist Claire Wickes.

Check "My Licences" in the SINE plugin/app.

They have a demo on Sugar Bytes' website:

Check the Download folder. You should be able to unzip and run the installers manually.

In case you want a better idea what it's about, Simeon has already posted a video.

It's safe to delete the IKM download folder. It gets recreated anytime IKM Product Manager downloads anything.

The software files can be deleted, but the sound/instrument downloads expire so people want to keep those files in case they need to be reinstalled.

It doesn’t appear there is an upgrade path from BBC Corr to Professional…?

It should show the reduced price automatically when you're logged in.

I've thought about getting this. I wonder how much value there's to have both versions... You should be able to get both for $30.

They've extended the sale till April 6th. The biggest bundles aren't currently available though.

i move all the contents from there onto a external drive for backup.

 

There's no point to keep old versions of the application installation files. (Instrument/data files of course should be saved.)

If you're wondering why you don't have any free HD/SSD space, check your IKM download folder.

I had 50 GB of old Tonex and AmpliTube installation files there. And other old versions of IKM files that can be deleted.

This "Ends tomorrow".

No idea how to get that popup.

For some reason the new version shows a menu bar.

You can download the new version from here if it doesn't auto-update:

I suppose today would be a great opportunity for all of Waves competitors to open the floodgates of "special" sales!!! ?

I just got an email from Purafied Audio: "WAVE goodbye to plugin subscriptions".

Save 50% on a library of your choice. Use code: FLASH50

Excludes all libraries released in 2023, all libraries priced £49/$49/49€ and under, all bundles/collections, books, and all SSDs and hard drives.

Let's hope this will be a massive commercial failure so other companies don't try to do the same. Luckily I've only bought one plugin from Waves.

Changes from version 1.1.3:

Added “High-gain Heroes” Collection to TONEX MAX with 50 new hi-gain TONE MODELs.

Fixed an issue that was corrupting the communication between Librarian and TONEX Pedal.

Fixed the corrupted Tri-Clean TONE MODEL and PURE 57 PRESET.

 

Another 1.7 GB download.

Plugin managers are fine if they don't install services that are always running (like Waves).

HI All,

Looking seriously at this as I am short of  decent orchestral sounds.

Anyone have any comment on their experiences with it. .........maybe, any reviews I can check out.

ALSO...Opinion about me waiting for supposed 1/2 price KONTACT Sale perhaps later in year?   ......

..would KONTAKT already have packaged orchestral sounds worth waiting for  ... & holding on to my funds till then?

These are high quality libraries, but they're focused on ensemble patches.

Kontakt 7 factory library is apparently pretty good. I'm guessing it's probably enough for you. Depends on what you have already and what you need of course.

It's also been free @ Epic Games in December 2019 so check if you have it before you buy.

SoundPaint is 8Dio's own new plugin engine. 8Dio libraries were made for Kontakt and they are older.

SoundPaint will be releasing a new string library in "several weeks, but not several months .." (comment from YouTube) and probably a lot more later, so if you like SoundPaint, you might want to wait.
