Anyway the Edit version of Vegas is the most basic version, but maybe a basis for later upgrade

The core program is the same so it's not lacking in the way that the free version of Resolve is.
Edit just lacks some additional add-on tools and 3rd party extras.
The higher versions are irrelevant for many people.

what is the free version of Resolve missing that Vegas has?

I was comparing Vegas v Vegas against Resolve v Resolve.
To compare Vegas v Resolve, you'd need to have a close look at the features of both.
One thing that springs to mind with Resolve is that the free version lacks GPU acceleration and also has reduced resolution and CODEC support.
It does have a reputation for being very resource heavy too.

I'm not knocking Resolve, but making a counter argument against what appeared to be misinformation about Vegas Edit.
Here's the differences between Pro Edit and Pro Suite:
Suite = Edit, plus:
SOUND FORGE Audio Studio
ACID Music Studio
Mocha VEGAS
Boris FX Primatte Studio

We tested Resolve a bit in the foto-club ,.. and people used to Premiere said that it was VERY
light and responsive compared to Adobe for basic editing at least

The basic free Resolve was considered plenty to keep most people busy 1-2 years before upping

Most important lack is the Fusion-part as far as I can tell

Resolve, is especially used for color-grading, considered a king, even by people on other NLE's

Black Magic the compagny and hardware-department behind is also highly ranking

Working with nodes, as seen in Fusion, is the pro way to work, hard to learn, but rewarding

-----------------------

The Vegas version discussed here might have some unique features that unexpected can be usefull for some, despite platform, and justify the very low price, just as a one trick pony,..

Could be better stabilizing for action-cam fottage, better format-conversion, noise-removal, or whatever

Its just that I dont have the insight

I have the paid version of Resolve now and it is excellent - I had used Premiere for years but glad I switched. There are lots of Youtube tutorials with the great advantage that they tend to be very quick and to the point, unlike most music tutes which are filled with padding and ads for the presenter

Hi there people! There’s not so much time left but as I noticed there’s a great $50 offer for BOOM Enforcer on PA!

It’s a game changer for sound design and creative layering for extra punch and boom. 



The deal is over but I have some extra unused licenses, we bought more than we need. Just hit a DM if you want to have a license code.

Snip

Probably best to just make a For Sale thread if you've got unused licenses to sell.

BTW I have some extra unused licenses, as it has two seats on ilok we used less than we thought. Just hit a DM if you want to have a license code for 30 bucks.

You should probably mention that, on your For Sale page... that the purchase will be for a license code that is sharing activation slots on your / someone else's iLok.

Anyone having any issues with Native Instruments? Purchased a download product a little while back. Got all the confirmations except the SERIAL. No reply from NI for days (as usual). No SERIAL in emails, account or Native Access.

thank you for your contacting Native Instruments.

We are very sorry for the delay on this. There was an error during the automated order process that had to be fixed manually.
You will receive your order within the next minutes.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Enforcer did go for €29 in August on VSTbuzz.

It’s not a seat on ilok.I have no intention to share my accounts randomly. It’s the full license as I mentioned.

OK, just potentially sounded that way, from how you worded it here in your Bargain Center post. No worries then

this is not a bargain, please take this discussion to its own thread
thank you

I mentioned that there was a little time. It was a 48-hour discount and it's over sorry for that.

But still, I have my license for sale search my thread.

Is anyone else having troubles checking out at Native Instruments?

When I click the continue to payment button in "Pay and Confirm":

NI 122923-4.png

I get:

NI 122923-3.png

Ummmm yea that's what I'm trying to do, make the payment. The "continue to payment" button is then no longer an active link and I'm stuck at that point......

EDIT: Never mind. That gave me the time to demo Massive X again and meh... I'll pass.

[jonston1]

Anyone thinking of the Bitwig crossgrade at Sweetwater. They didn't make me verify last time I bought this deal from them. Just a heads up if anyone is interested. I got the code immediately. YMMV.

How long ago did you buy that Restoration Suite? When I got mine, they offered a coupon but I didn't use it and timed out. No longer useful and I get no 50% off in my cart there despite noodling around looking for an easter egg type of discount. Just $149, as an owner of Restoration 2.0. I would jump on $75 Acoustica Premium +Remix. Not seeing it where I sit.
