I'm increasingly tempted - I have Syntronik 1 which I picked up through TS Max 2 and Syntronik 2 CS. What are the benefits of getting the Group Buy - other than the extra synths over Syntronik 1 - I'm concerned about all the extra disk space required! Wil I be able to uninstall the Syntronik 1 synths once I have all the Syntronik 2 ones? I'm a hobbyist who only has a small amount of time to spend making music so want to know that my money is well spent ?

Early Access available now!

Even Godot didn't take this long......

Well you'll have to ?

Yep I have the not installed issue too even though they are!

I keep picking them up but will have to wait until I get a new PC in a year or so to play most of them as my GPU is ten years old now and below the spec of most games. Having said that I still haven't played most of the games I can play on this PC!

I'm almost getting tempted........

Very nice sounds but cheesy start to the video!

Full Kontakt but also Free Halion SE ?

Very sad news indeed

Kontakt Player too ?

Full Kontakt

Full Kontakt required

A day without learning is a day wasted applies here I think ?

Hey Simeon you sound so much more slick nowadays ? Great to see this though

Cheers!

Welcome Bulent - look forward to your contributions - they will be appreciated!

They just keep coming! ?

I'm not now ? Got more than I need now with IK Total Max 2, Garritan PO and all my freebies / cheapies! I'm still tempted by Desert Winds for the excellent duduk though but waiting to see if it ever goes below £50!

As well as John's videos linked to in his post I can highly recommend Mike at Creative Sauce who has done a whole series on starting out with Cakewalk as well as many other tutorials using the DAW. His approach is clear and friendly and I still refer back to his videos to remind myself how to do stuff. This series is three years old now and there are some new features that aren't covered but it should still be a good starting point to give you a basic idea. As others have said it would probably take a lifetime to learn and use everything but you can get good results quite quickly Good luck!

As long as it was Kontakt Player!

Thanks Craig - I doubt if I'd ever be able to justify buying any of their libraries but forewarned is forearmed!

They're certainly on a roll and I like the fact that you can now authorise to a PC iLok rather than a dongle as that had put me off until now. Only free one I haven't downloaded yet is the piano as I don't know if it will be worth taking up disc space when I have several pianos in IK Total Max 2 and also the Freddy Mercury piano

Also dongle free now. The dongle had put me off previously

Ah I had that problem once and it was indeed an external hard drive disconnecting & reconnecting without any notification. Moved everything of value off it just in case and replaced with an external SSD. Of course it stopped doing it as soon as soon as I paid for the new drive!
