Still tempted by the vst buzz Diversion deal but also thinking that having bought Komplete, Icarus, Modular and Thorn in the last couple of months, not to mention a whole heap of other synths I own, maybe it's rather unnecessary. Anything particularly unique about it that I couldn't get elsewhere?

Saw the promotion for it but not much info aside from it being developed by a company that's made some decent audio hardware (mics, etc.). Not sure if the promotion is still valid, if it's actually been released or not, but curious on thoughts either way.
for a $50 plugin, it sounds pretty good.

that is the amount extra I spent on stuff I wouldn't have bought just to get the deal. Though I also got the free Galaxy X-Fx too. But the Propellerhead upgrade kind of covered that one. It has some different presets, like a pillow room and a closet, but also some big ones like diffuse hall and grand cathedral. I don't know that I would spend $200 for it, but maybe half that if I didn't have all those Eventide ones.
Where does it says it's $50? Maybe the offer has ended?

It was free with a $199 purchase. I only really wanted about $145 of the stuff I bought. I grabbed a couple more things that I didn't really need to hit the $199 price. So I figured it cost me about $50.

Can someone who bought the humblebundle confirm if vegas pro edit allows keyframing?

Also do they allow downloading full installers if you bought them? The trials gives a download manager for each products, and download is very slow.

not sure on the keyframing, but I can confirm it is the same download manager. I've only had a quick play so far and being a long-time Soundforge user I was hoping Vegas would have similar working methods/shortcuts and it does. It instantly feels much better than PowerDirector which I've been using for years and it is not a nice workflow at all. I've actually been thinking about getting Vegas for a while and so I'm really pleased with this deal

oh and if you do go for it a piece of advice is temporarily rename your VST folder before opening it otherwise it will scan everything and hang a lot. Once you are in you can change the folder to somewhere else and just add the stuff you want to that and then change your VST folder name back.

I got the humblebundle and there is some kind of DAW included called Music Maker. I didn't install it. I am however curious if anyone is using it? Is it useful for anything or just junk?

@astralp: thanks, I found the comparison on version 15 mentions keyframing as "available in Vegas Pro 15 or higher", but none of the reviews of version 14 seems to address it. It'd be really nice if you could confirm that later

Also nice tip on the VST thing. I don't think I'll ever use my audio plugins in a video editor.

@ATN69: I downloaded the free Music Maker before, found out it's 32-bit only, uninstalled without opening it.

Vegas pro edit 14 does keyframe in regards to things like layer animation and some effects no doubt. It’s pretty rudimentary though.

I also put instructions for disabling the auto plugin scan in the samplitude thread.

Ohh I see

Then I will certainly not install it. Thanks for the info!

It is a decent starter DAW, but not much else. I had it back in the early 2000's when it was one of the few home user ones out there.

NI Replika prohibited program startup here (during plugin scan - this is not well documented, but it is documented).

Not a name I'm familiar with. Any nods or takers?

This review is pretty enthusiastic about the Orgone Kontakt instrument on offer for £18.

Just bought them (after previously buying Cloud Bass)... There‘re pretty cool in a strange way imo. Lots of character.

BTW, someone mentioned that one can get the Vegas for $ 20 - afaik this is not true (?), you have to buy the whole $ 40 bundle to get the Vegas. Its reasonable priced, anyway, although Magix has huge sales for the Vegas 15 at the moment.
