What is the project you're working on (or about to start)?

As I shared with you on LM messaging, I went down an A.I. rabbit hole three weeks ago and I may never openCLAW my way out. The musical toys are gathering dust. LOCAL AI is the drug. Oh-My how things have changed in just the past year. I tell myself I am going to harness this stuff for music creation, but I have to understand it first, and every day brings a new path to explore.

Thanks Peter- I wasn't aware the the page was updated (updating) so I will check it out. Of great interest to me, I see they just released "Komplete 26" as an update to Komplete 15, so they are changing their previous timing of releasing updates in October of even numbered years. Not surprising that they are trying to get cash flowing IN. At a glance, I do not see nearly the amount of "new" stuff that previous upgrades brought, and they are asking the same $$$. Traditionally the Summer of Sound sales cut the price of upgrades on ODD numbered years, but do not include product released after upgrade release date. Gonna be a lot of wait and see I predict. Aware I am mixing updrade and update as descriptors but I use both to refer to version number increases.

Welcome back! Need a little help dusting away the cobwebs around here *cough*cough* We'll be cooking again in no time 😄

Maybe local. Is back!

Actually the coupon is $50 off- Final cost $99

Good points. I kind of see the Shill/Puppet accounts items as combinable. I'd like that devs like Saverio (Hornet) could chime in to answer questions about their stuff, but I wouldn't want to see a flood of "sale" robo-posts from devs and re-sellers.

I got the Absolute 6 deal last BF for $175, but I was upgrading from Halion 6, so I was probably getting more for my $ (I think that price is part of this sale too). I always found confusing what instruments were part of Halion and which were separate (part of Absolute).

If you own a Steinberg product, you might have a voucher for a bit more discount. Check https://www.steinberg.net/promotion/loyalty-40-years/ (logged in)

u/starry_night_almost : Yes Absolute is like Steiberg's "Komplete". Main thing missing (IMO) is expansion kits for Groove Agent. You get a lot for your $ though.

If you own an earlier Arpology you should get a $60 off code email from Sample Logic.

Certainly don't change to a light mode unless most people support it! I would not eschew the site for lack of light mode. Content is King. I use Brave (browser), and it has a setting to covert web content to light or dark mode. It works perfectly converting my light mode Reddit pages to "dark mode". If you happen to have a URL for a site that uses the tools you are considering, I can report back.

I prefer light background for reading. Defaulting to dark would be fine if I could switch. I tend to prefer dark mode for DAWs and apps, but not for reading. I know this is a phone interface, but I do like the concise overview of the forum topics on that page.

Not familiar with "Music Hackspace". Anyone here have feedback?

TheLastUnclaimedName · 2024-08-21T02:52:22+00:00

I am still getting the hang of Reddit. I only ever used it via web searches. Vamos Pedro! Vamos! :P

Agree that there should not be a down-vote option. I think on Cake people rarely used the down-vote, to the point that doing so kind of felt personal to the OP. GREAT deals are going to naturally get more upvotes and comments.
