I'm actually even more confused now

-IF you buy from presonus, you get a SN straight away yes/no?
-IF you buy from sweetwater, you get a SN sent by the rep. Or is it all retailers? (sweetwater does not have it in stock)

My guess is that if you make it a condition of the sale they'll do that. Sweetwater that is, when they actually have one.

Not necessarily 1-800-Buy-Gear where the person on the phone in India probably never met the high school kid in the warehouse in Nebraska.

Why? What are you spending your money on-a 2 cent cardboard box or the value of the software? What is 'real' is using the software.

If you only want to look at a pretty cardboad box, I have a ton of them in my back garage!

I still buy CD's.

We'll leave it at that.

What's wrong with buying cd's

Doug B, did you do the full version yet?

Depends on what you're buying them for...

Yeah, to me it's sad, I used to love shopping for cds and music dvds.

I even love copying them over after a clean install

Nuthin'

There are downloadable alternatives out there though. Means that I don't have to get up and go to the store. Means that I don't have to spend money on shipping or gas. Usually cheaper than buying the actual disc too.

But I still buy 'em. I just prefer buying something that has a tangible presence, if the option is offered.

It's simply a better fit for me than other hosts, that's all. Cubase and Reaper are easily currently more powerful in many ways (no daw war comparisons necessary) but I much more enjoy working in, and am more productive in, Studio One.

The way it works fits me like a glove so some of the other stuff I occasionally miss from Cubase is much less important to me in the bigger picture. Studio One + Kontakt 4 (for me, YMMV, all opinions are valid) is fantastic.

It all comes down to personal comfort for me, not necessarily features.

nuff said. and perfect too.

Since I wrote the original question I got the studio deal, upgraded to pro and now I use it in preference to Cubase/Reaper/Sonar/Reason. Yes; it just flows.

Question

using Acon FX chainer,

is this vst only? ...no instruments??

when I choose a vsti instrument, it says something like, " there are no outputs for Kontakt, audio sound will be lost"

I can see the meters moving in the app but can't get sound... is there a setting I'm missing or tis fx chainer just not work with vSti's

TX
