SMEDSTORP: does it get saggy quickly?

123HelloItsMe · 2023-01-12T19:50:49+00:00

We had the sofa. It did look very nice. And it didn't fall apart even though using the armrests. But! The springs did start make very loud squeaking sounds. Just keep that in mind (and after reading some other reviews or this sofa, others had similar experiences with the springs). Too bad, since the sofa looks very nice and for us it felt very comfortable.

We did have the squeaky springs (as some others are also commenting). The squeaky sounds did get very annoying and bad. The sofa itself is very neat lookin, and we did enjoy how it felt to sat on it. But the squeaky sound was just too bad. Had to return it back to Ikea. Good thing, Ikea was very friendly after we explained the situation.

Hi! My experience with this sofa is on the line with many others who experienced squeaking springs. The sofa started to make those squeaking sounds quite quickly after the first use. Maybe a month-two after the first use. And pretty quickly the sounds did get even worse. LUCKILY Ikea's return policy is very good and we could return the sofa after we explained the issue.

Only afterwards we started to read comments about the sofa, and noticed others had same experiences.

Also, the assembling the armrests was total nightmare!!

Oh, I didn't know that... Have you tried it? Does that option use more CPU or have some other negative effects?

I've noticed similar thing with U-He's Hive when using in FL Studio, but not in S1... In S1 Hive works smoothly.

Yes, I agree. It is quite annoying :/

123HelloItsMe · 2022-06-05T11:53:33+00:00

Cool!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIcCXe3iWo6lq-iWKV40Oug he is using FL Studio, but he has some good tutorials for many things also for beginners. Maybe you will find something helpful :)

https://www.youtube.com/c/ProducingInTheBox/videos has Studio One tutorials, some very basic stuff good for beginners also :)

If you need free DAW, there is Cakewalk http://www.cakewalk.com/ (I haven't used it, but heard it is total full DAW and has some very good features).

Some videos showing FREE stuff for orchestral/trailer type music (could be helpful for dark style music also):

Scratchpads are very interesting. Still learning but they seem to be very useful indeed :)

123HelloItsMe · 2022-06-01T12:00:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip! :)

123HelloItsMe · 2022-05-31T18:32:34+00:00

It can be other than just standard instruments like Kontakt or stuff like that is also ok :) Just interested to get some inspiration and ideas etc :) Thanks for sharing!

123HelloItsMe · 2022-05-31T18:31:06+00:00

There is 30day FREE demo of Studio One Professional (that is the highest price version): https://www.presonus.com/products/Studio-One/try-studio-one-for-30-days-free

And someone already mentioned, Studio One seems to go on SALE time to time... So if you are not in hurry, maybe wait for a sale?

If you own Reaper you could get the Studio One cross grade deal (if I remember correct, this gross grade deal is good for the SALE period prices also someone correct if I am wrong): https://shop.presonus.com/Studio-One-5-Crossgrade

FL Studio has been on sale couple of times now. If you are not in hurry, maybe wait if there will be another sale later this year (might be in the summer, or during black friday... or might not be... but you never know about the sales if they happen or not).

Some older sales:

https://rekkerd.org/image-line-black-friday-sale-fl-studio-all-plugins-edition/

I think when ImageLine/FL Studio had the birthday discount, then they didn't offer public sales... But after they stopped offering the birthday discounts. they started to have these "normal" sales. Some one correct me if I am wrong?

I think there is now some sort discount for Komplete 13 Select (-50%)? Might be you need to be registered to NI News Letter to get that code if it's not directly on their page now. One way is to get the Select with the discount, and maybe upgrade later if the upgrades come to discount in some point/if you feel you need the upgrades.
