Re: Komplete update/upgrades 50% off
Own Komplete 10 standard. Neither upgrade offers anything I feel that I need. I did buy Session Horns Pro though. I generally go for every 2 years on upgrading komplete, own 8 and 10, the only thing in 11 that entices me is reaktor6 but I can wait for 12+ to make it worth it. Great thing about komp...

Re: My Computer Can't Handle VSTs...Any Advice?
I think most in your situation when using a more mobile setup hit issues, you may save your ozone step for last, or use it in isolation. Freeze the necessary tracks and then use ozone on it as necessary. Or save it for your last step and freeze all your tracks before hand. That way the only processo...

Re: My Computer Can't Handle VSTs...Any Advice?
There is a huge difference between a 3230m and a 4700hq. The hq mobile processors are fairly close to desktop equivalents, but still gimped a little. The m-series processors are a lot weaker, depending on type of calculation like 1/4 weaker. They also have half the cache and dont support AVX2.0 at a...

Re: I think, Native Instruments Big sale on June
Just been wondering the same, if and when NI will have a big sale. They will, it happens every summer and black friday/christmas. One will usually be a sale on individual instruments and komplete, the other will be on komplete upgrades and instruments. It always pays to wait with NI, and skip years...

Re: "Ernst explains VST decision" Props blogpost
The blog post doesn't explain their decision at all. And apart from VST3 I don't think the underlying technology behind VSTs has changed at all. A buggy VST will still be a buggy VST. This was why the whole article was a huge eyeroll to me. VST2.4 was released in 2006. It hasnt changed since then, ...

Re: Is there one spot where you can see all VSTs on sale?
There's so many, and so many different stores, that its tough.

Re: What am I missing out on with 44 khz?
24bit on the other hand you gain alot of headroom, and diminishing returns at 32bit, so its fairly advantageous to run at 24bit instead of 16 Might be my miss understanding of headroom however I see that as room left between your peak level and 0dbfs, if I had a track peaking at -6 dbfs, if I outpu...

Re: What am I missing out on with 44 khz?
^ you just miss out on some higher frequencies. Back in the day alot of sound cards were also natively 48khz, alot of games run at 48 as does ac3 audio for dolby digital and dts (I generally run all my audio including general WDM/DirectX at 48khz), so if you were running 44.1 audio it had to be resa...

another +1 to avoiding IK completely.

Then their whole ecommerce installation cr...

Re: I. Hate. Buying. And. Installing. VST.
well its not completely without its faults. I just had an issue 2 days ago with ilok, due to idiot programming. Alot of devs like to lock their licenses based on some internal windows ID. However this ID can be randomly changed if for example you swap ethernet ports on a dual ethernet mobo. There ar...

Re: Could Reason get a better multicore support?
Just looking at something like taskmgr may make you think they are the same at the OS level but programs can determine whether something is a physical or virtual core. The OS is also aware of what is physical and virtual and can use that to schedule something on a core that is separate from one who'...

Re: Reason 9.5 – VST in Reason
But other than a full incremental updates it seems to be advancing only barely more rapidly than the MIDI standard! This is my only reservation - if Props are integrating VSTs for the first time, it seems crazy not to support the latest standard right off the bat (ie. VST 3 rather than 2). Surely t...

It does? You do know this works in alot of daws already, and has for a long time. Its dependant on the vst exposing all parameters, has nothing much to do with the host (beyond just having support for it which most do). As long as a vst exposes everything then the daw can keep track of changes and u...
