    I guess it depends.  If someone like OTS had a big sale I would be all over that.  Likewise if it was an obscure instrument I had always been looking for I’d be in (“Oh wow! Look here’s a model of a 1966 Farfisa organ with a dead middle C note just like John Lennon once kicked over”).  Otherwise I’ll hold off.  One the other hand I’ll probably sti…Read More

    The big question of the day: Are you going to hold off buying Native Instruments products and Kontakt sample libraries during this time due to their preliminary insolvency, even if there are huge sales?

    I have seen recommendations in a few forums to keep a list of your registered software products that involve NI.  It’s easy enough, so why not keep a copy.

    I only use Windows, so no idea about other platforms.

    It just struck me. I need to update the blog post. I posted about a manager from Plugin Alliance posting that the preliminary insolvency doesn’t apply to Plugin Alliance, but to be very candid, his statement was a bit misleading. He was communicating that it’s business as usual — he literally stated that — but the reality is, Plugin Alliance…Read More
