As usual not valid for:

LOL- Yeah.  I have not bought from PA for quite a while so I decided to take a look, since there should be some “new to me” stuff.  Half-way through the “not valid for list”, I moved on.

Pretty good deal if you want to use FL Studio.  Producer edition gives you all the tools you need.  The higher tiers add some fun stuff, but Producer is the place to start.  “Fruity Edition” is quite limited.

I am impressed with the Image-Line’s consistent innovation in FL-Studio, considering that updates are free.  I just wish the devs would address its anemic MIDI hardware and routing support.

I probably had $200 into their stuff when they briefly went subscription a couple years ago.  I kicked them off my system and ate my loss.  Even though they backed off the subscription plan rather quickly, I realized they gave me nothing that wasn’t covered by my numerous alternatives.  Always was a hassle anyway when you had old versions and ha…Read More

That’s a bummer!  I had not ordered anything from Sweetwater for a couple years but ordered a PDF format book recently.  It was late evening and I didn’t look for it until the next day.  I had an email that there was a problem processing.  I realized right away that my card on file probably expired (it had).  Once I updated it and sent an emai…Read More

Here is what you need @fretman

I remember buying Greg Hendershott’s sequencer software decades ago when I am pretty sure he was a one man shop.  12 Tone Systems was the company name.  I don’t remember if he called it Cakewalk at first, but I do remember that it grew into “Cakewalk”.  Anyway-  Time keeps flowing, and products adapt or die (or are murdered after acq…Read More

Great find. How are you so good at finding these kinds of deals? It’s like you have radar for them.

You know, it’s been at least a couple of years since I became aware that you and I both battle trying to curb our plugin / sample library addiction. We already know that I’m doing terrible at that. How about…

Thanks for the info @dsteinschneider.  I did notice that they have my AIR stuff split between two sites.  I wonder if it has to do with their dropping iLok on newer stuff?  Anyway, it is frustrating.

I have been using good ole’ TrackSpacer for this kind of thing, but the mid-side visualization and built in phase tweak make this look pretty handy.  It looks like it’s been out for a year or so.  Any user comments?
