Right, so Native Access only froze up 3 times up untill now with about 15 products installed. 43 to go. That should be about 9 times forcings NA to quit with task manager and restarting the process. I already install everything seperately (no 'install all'). Good thing I have to stay in because my front door is painted and has to stay open to dry. And the Monaco GP is on. Oh god, I'm literally watching paint dry while installing this ?

The PA licenses are in your account in the 'Manage your License section'. Haven't found the vouchers yet.

I registered my Komplete serial in Native Access. As soon as I did that I got a promo code for Plugin Alliance. I registered that and it gave extra licenses for plugins I already had and no vouchers for the 29.99 plugins. In Native Acces you can choose what you want to install. The serial number provides you with every product within your chosen tier which you can then choose to install or not.

Thomann, but the mail with the promo code came as soon as I registered in Native Access.

Ah yes, a $2043 voucher. Completely normal. Edit: Ok now what? I don't see any vouchers, no extra licenses, just an email which thanks me for my order. I just threw away THOUSANDS of dollars. ? Second and I promise the last edit: I located them, I seem to have 8 licenses of a number of plugins and 5 of another number. Really useful. In case I somehow lose 7 licenses of the Black Box Analog Design HG-2, PA's got me covered ? Still no clue what that "three 29.99 EUR "Buy any plug-in" vouchers for use in the Plug-in Alliance online shop" business is all about though.

I hate either Native Instruments, Behringer or Myself. NI do their sale so I HAVE to upgrade. And then I'm stupid enough to accompany that purchase with a purchase of a Maschine controller. Now Behringer comes along and FINALLY releases the Edge. I've been waiting for that one for a couple of years. So that is an instant buy. I'll be eating instant noodles for a month.

Didn't work, you can't order software like hardware. Seems like they saw right through my scheme ?

Coincidentally I just picked up a cheap secondhand Maschine Mikro MK3. Basically just with the intention of using my NI stuff more. Should be fun.

It is still €299 for me at Thomann. So it's a matter of exchange rate where it will be cheaper. On the other hand, if I order at Thomann I can order a couple of cables and dustcovers in the same order to get to the minimum order amount to avoid shipping costs. And I noticed this in the description for the upgrade to CE: "Includes a 25.00 EUR voucher for the Native Instruments online shop and three 29.99 EUR "Buy any plug-in" vouchers for use in the Plug-in Alliance online shop".

I need that Nocturnal Beats expansion for my hybrid orchestral dubstep Bulgarian folk dub industrial hip-hop. Don't judge me. You don't know me!

300 for the upgrade from Ultimate to Ultimate CE. I think I will bite. To much good stuff there I would like to pay with. I've got a separate license for Arkhis a while back, so I will have that double. Does anyone know what the resell policy/process is? Edit: I will wait and see if there's perhaps a better deal with the JRR code or Audiodeluxe bucks.

Haha I watched this yesterday. It convinced me it was not of interest to me. So I'm all good.

I have everything besides the Firewood piano. Which is €20 as an upgrade. Which is a discount of €10 on an Originals. Tempting, but I don't know if I got use for it.

Well, that's just it, I feel you have to be a very serious Live user ánd/or use this live (note the lack of a capital l) to justify the price fully. I don't know, but €949 for a MIDI controller is serious money. Even if it is MPE. If it was 200-300 less I probably would buy it and sell my Push 2. I will stick with my Push 2 for now. Which I don't use enough as it is. If i were to perform live (well I do, but not yet with the Push or Ableton's session view), this would be a very tempting piece of kit though. I hate the word gamechanger, but at least I have the feeling they are raising the bar and setting a standard here.

https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/leapwing-centerone.html Normal price $199.99, sale $149.99. Use code CENTERONE-11999 to get it for $119.99. Sadly, Forever29 doesn't work ?

Here we go again. I tried to make something mellow but with big synths. Then I decided it needed something that sparked interest. Thank god for the Sub37. I made a nice patch which cut through the mix nicely. Then I decided to modulate it with an LFO and it made things a lot more interesting. So much so that live modulating was the way to go. Had to learn the G minor scale pretty quick to play live. I think it went pretty well. I cut out playing 1-2 beats too early, but hey, it's live. The triplet tempo signature adds a nice flow.

It's free until 31-5. I just got it for free.

Same for me, just registered and it says the code is invalid. Will chech again tomorrow, but I doubt that's the issue.

Reported: "I'm in this post and I don't like it".

I'm not a composer so I'm not that interested in the Ark series or any other big cinematic libraries. I have BBCSO, Albion One and Project Sam's Orchestral Essentials, which is more than enough for me. But I do like the more electronic products of Orchestral Tools. Arkhis is awesome, Drones is great, the Fabrik series is very usable for me. These are high quality products in my genres.

You make a compelling argument...Bought it.

Thanks! That sentiment takes me back to my DJ days, recording a set and at the 50 minute mark messing up a beatmatch haha. Hour wasted. Luckily these jams are just around 5 minutes, I can always record again. Actually, this wás take 2 because in the first take I just forgot to open the filter of the Peak. So halfway through I was like "I'm missing something..." ?

They are messing things up a bit. The Raummaschine is on the page of the Blackbox. And for a very brief moment I got very very excited (see image). Turns out the shipment was just the plugin. In the email it says that the order is for the Raummaschine but when I click on the order it says that it is the Blackbox.

Oh that's just great, now I have to get that one too. And another chance at the Creme.

My latest jam. I've been in a sort of creative rut lately. Not really happy with anything I made. And to be honest, this is no exception. It's certainly not bad and I still had some fun. But you know, sometimes it's just not what you want it to be. It's...eh, messy? On top of that I made a slight playing error near the end (marked with an "oops" graphic) and decided to leave my (Dutch) reaction at the end as a blooper/outtake. "Oooh one tiny mistake, a f* it, let it go haha." I amuse myself...?
