Confirming now that the “CC” in CCLarry stands for “credit card” cos that’s what I pull out every time I come here.

LOL....pretty much!

Actually the "CC" comes from a Company that I was the Manager of...Courtesy Communications.
We sold the 5 Major Carriers for Cell Phones, Direct TV, and Dish Network, and a host of other
Prepaid Cell Phones...

I took the moniker "cclarry" when I started working for Courtesy Communications,, and have had it ever since...

Now you know, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story" LOL

The Advanced Guitar Series: Mandolin sounds Very Nice BTW ( $48 then do the 50% off )

So from a guitar person like me the Mandolin and the Advanced Guitar Series: Steel String seem like good bet. I have the Advanced Guitar Series: Guitalele already!!

Be aware that this is a 200 yr old mandolin, so it's a bowl-back with its inherent rather strident, super-bright sound. Good for classical music. If you're looking for a more modern, folk/bluegrass sound, your only options are Bolder Sounds or Orange Tree. However, the former has the A-strings not tuned together and the latter has too much fret noise and only 1 very slow tremolo speed. I'm convinced a good mandolin VSTi has not yet been made.

I wish I could see the 8dio manual to determine if 1) the tremolo speed is variable and 2)  the volume can be changed while the tremolo is active ( I guess you could always do that with automation but it wouldn't sound the same as making the pick more/less aggressive). Their demos are not very useful unless you're interested in sound design. They do not show enough tremolo to get a feel for how well it's done, and tremolo is a KEY mandolin technique. 

I just want you to be aware of what you'd be getting. If you wish, you can read some detailed info on mandolin VSTi's here.

Send their support an email that you didn't get the 50% code.  They provided me with one.

This is what I gave a try. Grabbed the wrong quote before. No word back yet.
