It turns out I own more of their stuff than I remembered.  I have not had any of it installed for some years.  My installer backups are dated December 2016 so I must have gotten a bundle during sale season.  I don’t recall any issues with Windows 10- I would have been using that Win version then.  I also…

These have been on major deep discounts previous Black Fridays. So unless you need them now, just wait.

Did they update the installers so that they won’t completely obliterate Windows 10 machines?

Anyone on the fence: I’d say don’t buy it.

Sonuscore is really bad at crossgrade prices with the Orchestras. Like really bad. I don’t think I’ve seen a single crossgrade sale from them, or if I have, it’s still been a lot more expensive to crossgrade than buying the complete version straight up on a different sale.

All is good. All is dealt with. Just took a bit longer than I expected.

Yeah. I suspect it has to do with Paypal not processing instantly, despite the order going through (but again, I’ve yet to been charged). But it’s kind of hard to resolve it, or any other issue, unless they communicate. Can’t think too many times when it’s taken more than a couple of days for a company to respond (and if there has been, at least…Read More

Yeah, not paying twice. If the plugins stop working at some point, then shame on me for being stupid and buying them in the first place.

Well, the VIC thread gave us this at least, so maybe things are not as nefarious:

In addition, we would like to add that your Best Service User Accounts and associated licenses have not been impacted by this technical incident. Thanks again for your patience.

Rumors or not, speculation or not, the silence will be filled with something as people are concerned for their financial investments. And that concern increases more and more as the time passes.

Good communication builds trust with the customers and gives them assurance that everything is under control.

I’m giving them the benefit of doubt since if they had actual critical customer data leak, they’re doing the most piss poor job at handling that, especially when they’re in the EU. IF there are issues with customer data potentially going to bad actors, the current messaging is totally unacceptable. People should know what was potentially leaked…Read More

I doubt they’re going under, but being down 5+ days means something catastrophic must have happened.

However, if it’s a hack that involved customer data, they’d probably have to had reported that already as they’re based in EU.

If they don’t have an internal web team and outsourced the backend to another company, and that another company effed…Read More

Not a bad price at all.

Pulse wasn’t always his. He bought it last year, I think. Think he got the decaying corpse of Rigid Audio as well this year.

Internet shopping has been a thing for years and years. It shouldn’t come a surprise to anyone operating a webstore that yes, people will seek vouchers and yes, people will hunt for deals to save a buck. In fact, you shouldn’t run a webstore if you can’t do simple testing or content pruning. If you screw up vouchers, you’ll most likely screw up…Read More

Has been, at least, around ~19 bucks before.

As long as they don’t EFF their customers who already bought and paid for their items and force weird upgrade plans, shenanigans or make them pay for the items again, I’m cool with the situation.

They seem to be as good as about most others, so long as you like the general tones they’re after, based on when I looked at them. I’m not an accomplished guitarist though.

With code podcast20 you can get 2 bucks off more which makes it probably safe to try out. Just skip Starbucks tomorrow and let us know how it is.
