While it is true that you can use the product by installing the free version of Kontakt 8, I can understand the feeling of someone using an older full version of Kontakt not wanting to potentially gum up their system with more bloat.  I used to be one such person, but own 8 now.  I am guessing that “Next gen NKS support” is referring to their r…Read More

Thanks Mira!  And reminder to users that you need to REGISTER the key on Steam before it expires on Aug 26.

Cool!  I always thought these were USB only, so I never looked twice.

I can’t think of a dev that gives existing customers a better upgrade offer.  I added 13 instruments this year for under $2…Read More

Kudos to Sweetwater.  I only asked for store credit, but they put the 10% back on my card.

😭 I just ordered a Spark 2 a few days ago and it is supposed to arrive today.  Will have to see if Sweetwater offers a price drop coverage.  D’oh!

Free is… FREE so I can’t argue with that, but my favorite gain staging tool is still Hornet VU Meter MK4.  It’s on sale for another week (along with everything at Hornet) for 81% off – 1.14 Euro.  I think people overlook this cheap plug because, “who needs another VU mater in a DAW?”.  The best feature is that multiple instances talk to each ot…Read More

Thanks for posting this @lamia6   I got the offer too, and I had Waveform Version 9 Pro.  IIRC in the recent past they were asking $99 for upgrades from more than 2 versions old.  Gotta pass anyway because I have too many DAWs as it is.  Anyway, if anyone owns an older Waveform, want the update, and didn’t get the email, you should hit them up.

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

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’…Read More

So I guess I figured they (Sonuscore) were switching to “The Score”.  It seems to me like they are competing with their own products? (The Score and The Orchestra).  Not to mention EW Opus MIDI engine which I understand are coded by the same team.
