Next deal is up... Insolidus for $198 with free gift https://8dio.com/instrument/insolidus-choir-for-kontakt-vst-au-aax-samples/ It's still unclear whether free gift is Vintage Keyboard Bundle or Ostinato Strings as main banner shows Ostinato Strings but says Vintage Keyboard Bundle.

Thanks yes I think Lacrimosa is what I am looking for. I tend to think first about hard drive (actually SSD) space as any library is going to have to earn it's keep especially if it's taking up loads of space.

Actually no! Thanks a lot. That will definitely help to decide ??

I'm also looking at Insolidus vs Lacrimosa, the latter being approximately half the size of the former (compressed 39.98Gb vs .17.8Gb). I will be studying the videos for both to try and work out which is the better fit for me.

I'm on Windows 10 and have the same graphics card as you and my install of HFPro, IgnitePro and ActionPro was also without issue. I noticed the same thing but found that if you hit Alt & Enter it brings up the usual close button (X) at the top right hand side of the window.

Thanks simon. I have updated the first post in case anyone looks there. The third banner on the 8DIO site page still says that Ostinato Strings is the free gift as per yesterday so I'm guessing it's a typo/error re the Vintage Keyboard Bundle which was the free gift up until Friday. Thanks for the mini review of the Vintage Keys Bundle . I am glad I avoided it now!

Those are already in my updated list on page 1 based on the current banner. They were there before anyway but in a different order. That sonic adventure page has a date of 2nd December and doesn't have a day number associated with each image. The only one I'm missing (tomorrow's) is not included. The 1990 Studio Piano is one that has been removed on the banner page. The banner page was updated last night. Which one is correct? Anyone's guess and the banner page is likely to be updated again tonight. I think someone at 8DIO is looking here and having a laugh at my expense ? I would if I were them

Well, I use the word Photoshop as a metaphor for Affinity Photo but you get my drift

Yes you have to do a levels adjustment in Photoshop on the banner. I have removed the image in case it is copyrighted.

Thanks simon. They have changed everything between now and Christmas day! Check out my latest update in the first post here..

I have now updated the first post as 8DIO have switched a lot of stuff around. ? I have also added an "updated date". The only one I cannot clearly identify is tomorrow's piano bundle (I can see the words Studio, Piano Bundle), unless it's a custom bundle. Anyone got any ideas ❓ Note: there are some big hitters moved to this week e.g. Insolidus on Monday, 66 Trombones on Tuesday and Majestica on Wednesday (unless it changes again!)

New deal is up and as Antler noticed they have switched things around so the freebie (which was originally down for 22nd December) is now Century Ostinato Strings https://8dio.com/instrument/century-ostinato-strings/ free with a spend of $148 or more. I have also updated the first post and will also revisit their banner as they seem to have altered some of the planned offers.

Yup, the gift that keeps on giving. Cheers Larry.

Ah well not to worry. Wishing on a Falling Star sounded epic by the way. Great job!

It's Largo today 50% off..... https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/largo/

Thanks Larry. Nice also that you can now access the shop from within Studio One Pro 4.6...

Insolidus does look very nice. I was hoping All Claire would be even cheaper and I really don't need 78Gb of Vintage Keys. Shame they don't give you a few options for the freebie. Also, 8DIO don't allow resale/transfer of their licenses so I couldn't even sell the keys on.

Now wishing I had purchased a 2Tb M2.NVMe drive instead of a 1Tb one a few weeks ago. ?

Yes I should have known as the exit poll performance has been remarkably accurate in recent times.

Thanks, updated the first post. Wasn't there when I looked at 6am this morning ? (stayed up late for the election).

Had an email from AAS and checked my account... they are now offering "Strum GS-2 complete my collection" for the only two I don't have Take 3 and Funky Cat for $19. That's $9.50 each! Think I'll bite and get something else with the freebie.

Couldn't agree more Aiden. I am looking forward to getting stuck in this weekend. Lots to try out with all of the content included. Some of that vfx stuff would have come in really handy a while back for some videos I made. Should be fun to try using it as the quality looks good.

You could use HitFilm or Resolve to make YouTube music video content. Superfluous content aside, HitFilm Pro looks like a pretty good video editor but I will reserve full judgement until I have properly compared it to DaVinci Resolve. There's 19 days left on the Humble Bundle deal so why not try out the demo of HitFilm Pro and the free version of DaVinci Resolve and see if either one is what you are looking for before committing to the HB deal?

Sorry forgot to mention V Coll update. I also wish they would make V Coll 6 a single installer. Maybe if we email them about it they might make it happen. To be honest I got Pigments 1 on a whim on intro pricing and haven't used it much but the addition of granular functionality might persuade me.

Working now and there's also an update to Arturia Software Centre and Analog Lab 4. Don't know if it made any difference but I vpn'd in via France where they are located.
