There is a LOT of really good advice on this thread.  Here is what I would second that's already been said:

1. Buy used.  You'll get a lot more bang for the buck

2. Either learn a few basic chords (Em/D/A7) or better yet take a friend who can play.  If that's a "no-go" just ask one of the sales people to help you find the best sounding/playing guitar for $350. 

3. "Price is not any guarantee of quality.  These days there are perfectly usable guitars available that are ridiculously inexpensive." True, true, true.

Good luck with your search!

Sweeeet!!!  It's only right that the King of Deals got a deal!!  Congrats!

Ahhhhh, the sweet sound of "now only $29".  Love 'em or hate 'em we all owe Waves a debt of gratitude.

Krap.  I don't quite know how to interpret NI's statement, but puhleeeeze no subscription.

Welcome to Larryland.  We've all thought, "I don't need a thing".  Then we visit the deals section . . . . .

Guys,

Which DAW do you prefer using more, Studio One or Sonar Plati,  AHEMM, or Cakewalk By Bandlab?

Can you tell us why?  

I have Studio One Artist, but honestly, I'm so use to doing everything in Cakewalk; I didn't want to even try a new DAW.

I jumped ship to PS1 when CW crashed and PS1 is now my main DAW.  There are things I really like about PS. most notably is how intuitive it is (but then I had  been working with DAWs for 20 years so PS1 should have been "intuitive").  To me PS is much more lean and efficient feeling than SBB, and I can run a ton of tracks and plugins at low latency with no issues whatsoever.  I noticed that with SBB I was getting dropouts like crazy with a 7-8 tracks and 2-3 plugins per track.  On the other hand, I deeply miss the elegance of SBB.  That thing is simply beautiful.   Also, I found it was laid out in a way that facilitated my work-flow, that's not always the case with PS1.  I liked the Pro-channel, fx bin and track view all right there.  Anyway, I delighted that SBB lives on.

Not yet found when running the updater in Studio One. Are you a Time Traveler? 

He's not a time traveler, but a Deal Finder!

I just bought a pair of Beyerdynamic Soul Byrd earbuds.  If you like their headphones, you'll like these.  They're plugins rather than wireless (which was important to me).   I shopped around and was able to get them for $80.  There are quite a few reviews online:

That doesn't work since KVR has 2 forums.

Larry,

Sorry, but I'm practicing safe GAS.

Then step 1 is avoid this forum.  Step 2 is do not turn your computer on!  Personally, I have lost every battle I have fought with GAS.

Nothing New from XLN.  Although I like AD2,  it is time for AD3.   Also, I am getting tired of their stale website and drums.

Don't don't even mention the over priced OX

I'm a bit baffled by XLN.  Other than OX there's been nothing new for years, not even a midi pack.  It makes me wonder if all is well with them.  I hope so because I really love AD2.

Let's face it: some things are simply incurable.

I bagged a copy of Indiginus STEEL.  Like you said, "just play it and it sounds beautiful".  At $49 it feels like an amazing deal. 

Wait, my email said this secret sale was just for me!  Did you guys get the same email?  I'm upset!

I had this same problem with ST3.  Vst2 ran fine, VST3 was crash-city.  Hopefully, they'll get it sorted out soon.

Norm MacDonald Joke:  (I think)

Yoko Ono wanted to do something special for a friend.   Yoko's friend not only survived the Hiroshima atomic bomb but also survived the 9/11 bombing of the twin towers. In addition this woman survived a brutal auto accident and spent 12 months in traction. 

So, Yoko gave the friend free front row seats to one of Ono's Central Park singing concerts.

After the concert the friend said Yoko's concert was the worst experience of her life.
 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!  That made me LOL!!

BF: it's good to see you back here.  I hope you're well.

I have the FreqAnalyst Multi.  I used it more when I first got it (now it's been supplanted by Izotope Neoutron EQ).  I thought graphically it was beautiful, but I did find it a tad bit confusing.  Not overwhlemingly so, but just enough to frustrate me a bit.

$29 for both is a great deal.  

You wonder why Magix does that, because it's only a stone's throw away from being a frigging virus in that you didn't ask for it, and you can't kill it.  I wouldn't think it does anything to endear anybody to Magix.

It's beautiful.  Just beautiful.  What a tremendous way to honor your dad.

This deal stinks.

I'm loving this new world of "$29".

I wonder if anyone has bought XO?  ?

I use AD2 all the time and wish XLN would nurture it a bit more. ?

Me too.  It sounds great, and I love the editing possibilities.  How about some new kits or midi files?

This guy posts some good free stuff

When was the last time they did and update?  I was afraid they were getting ready to dump it.
