I'd say forget about this guy and just go with some EQ with useful features, like Melda's MEqualizer, which may not have infinite bands(it has 6), but it does a whole lot more, including Mid/Side procecssing per band.

Mostly because making Sonar cross platform would require re-writing the whole thing.

Julian who?

But then the poor sod will not be able to exercise his marketese to attempt to sell a console emulation I'm pretty sure many people outside of specific music production circles in Europe know about. SSL emulations are the only thing which doesn't have to be marketed like that due to their ginormous mind share.

Everything except: 1- If there will be a subscription plan or not. 2- If this last free version of CbB will actually be free or still require re-activation every 6 months.

The more they delay that answer, the more it confirms that there's a high chance this is what they'll end up doing. Same with not giving a straight answer in regards to subscription plans.

There's also this guy....Which is only the EQ, but still...

Steam has raised the price for developers to publishing their store front and changed that price to be per app instead of a single pay in order to diminish asset flippers. Considering the size of a potential full Cakewalk install (assuming that to tbe the case), price could be 3 figures.

Didn't iZotope join NI last year?

Not buying that whole UDS thing. The original Jupiter-8 had no special key bed, so who knows if those supposed variances at each key press exist or are significant enough to the point of requiring separate samples instead of being emulated using DSP code. Maybe it's just the good old marketing tactic of appealing to our chimp brains that think it's better because it's a higher number.

I think I'd buy a real life door. It costs less than this plugin.

So, they're gonna take two product managers which work and replace them with a ***** one which only works half the time? Sweet. Now they're earning that AI logo, but in this case for "Active Incompetence."

There will be probably a free plugin with that so we're bribed intro trusting Ative Instruments.

This update could be because of one recent bug involving HalionSE 3 installing Flux on all versions of Cubase, even though it's only available in Elements and Pro.

Those would be valid concerns....if REAPER wasn't a project which started being developed by one person and now has the massive team composed of...three. That's not a smart move considering they'd be competing against MainStage and...MainStage is 30 bucks.

Would you also agree that water is a deadly poison because every single people who drank it happened to eventually die?

I'm a bit concerned with the last part because what it is considered a bug for IK is not what their consumers consider a bug and vice-versa. There are lingering bugs/implementation flaws in quite a bit of IK software, some of which persists across different versions, many people complains about them and...no fixes so far.

There are also products which phone home to generate activation files. Presonus software works that way. While you don't have to necessarily log in to register their software, you have to enter a machine ID number in their server to have a license file you can download.

Mr. Peter is not part of customer support afaik. He's their marketing guy for the US branch of IK.

The worst offenders of that are Amplitube and TONEX, the latter will happily install all the training models and other stuff along with it regardless of which version you have and that amounts to a nice 7 GB of stuff. For the free version is worse because you're forced to give 7 GB of stuff for maybe two dozen presets you can only do minor tweaks on. And this is the annoying part of having those licensing schemes. Where are the fixes for the bugs people keep complaining about? Is their development time entirely dedicated to copy protection now? Cause I was using a plugin last time I checked and not an antivirus or other protection related stuff.

For a few reasons, I tend to see Arturia as a more fitting successor to Moog than whoever is running Moog Music atm.

Moog is a far cry from the quirky inventive company conceptualized by Bob Moog. Pretty much all of their modern synths have that price because of branding and because of the price of US labor being passed to the consumer, since Moog assembles their products in the US from Asian sourced components done to their specs.

This is clearly a response against piracy measures although I don't see what makes them think they'll accomplish anything because Waves plugins use an even more complicated scheme and they've been successfully cracked, so does uhe.
