Hi! don't have anything to say about this. One question though, Who is this Jared? a plugin maker?

claimed he lost weight with subway meals or some such.

Then got caught with a ton of kiddie p0rn on his computer and sent to jail

The competition never sleeps, the Bitwig daw, 12 months of upgrades,
and an Arturia Buchla Easel V plugin synth thrown in:

NI are a fantastic company that have a long reputation of bad decisions IMO pretty obviously coming from the marketing / corporate side.

They just laid off 20% of their employees, there are still things they need to do, that do not generate much income, (VST3, GUI etc.) and that's troubling. I can't see any positive outcome here, I don't know how downsizing is going to help them focus on improving products they already have?

I don't think this bodes well for their current hardware line. Time to sell Machine Studio before it ends up on the junk heap like Kore and Rig Kontrol did.

They need to give us Absynth 6 with complete overhaul, wouldnt mind if they improve Kontakt somehow either.

Ok so they are not a plugin maker, probably some random guy out there. Ok then.

Yeah, I don't have any hope of that. Absynth is still one of my favorite concepts for a synth, and it's looooong in the tooth. NI tend to abandon things. Komplete since V2, and it's been a rough ride. Love their stuff, but they chase the almighty dollar with new products more than they upgrade and improve their current ones. There's no denying this.

Those two words: "fully" and "committed".

I've got a really bad feeling about this...

Glad someone else is as much of an old fart as me to get that...
