How do you receive Baby Audio Updates ? For instance back a while ago I got Parallel Aggressor via the Collective offer, but I just received a pair of download links on the collective page which disappeared after the offer was ended.

Similarly here, you get a specific download for this version of Comeback Kid. How do you get fixes?

You just download it from their download page at https://babyaud.io/downloads

I think maybe the promotion just gives you a raw serial code, not an activation code.

Just got HALion 7 for a great crossgrade price (from Kontakt): $124.99

Upgrade from 6 is $49.99
Worth it. Although I'm now having to set up a dual boot for a Windows 10 to run it on my main music box.

What is your other OS? It works for me here with Windows 11.

Windows 7, which some of my hardware's last drivers with librarian/editors require. Although it appears "dated" in OS GUI terms, it actually runs superior to these newer OSs since the the new ones demand so much of the resources and their connections to themselves. I plan on actually making my dual CPU computer a triple boot with Ubuntu Studio next instead of running it from USB.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is kind of unsafe to use Windows 7 in 2024. Even with all possible precautions, I wouldn't want to put that on my main system, because of possible security vulnerabilities.

Later versions of windows can get quite "bloated", but there are great debloating tools. Also, there's this interesting thing called Windows Ameliorated, which is a whole other topic of conversation (there are two "playbooks" called Atlas OS and Revi OS), but it aims to "optimise" (aka tweak windows) to make it quicker. It definitely has some issues, but is an interesting solution to test. It's annoying that you have to use these tools in the first place, but at least you have the latest compatibility and security patches.

It might be "unsafe" for constant Internet usage, but not as an airgap box. I only use a USB hotspot connection during required authorizations and immediately remove that when done. I've been stripping Windows since 3.6 and it's only 10 and presumably 11 that insists on putting it all back as quick as they can.
So I'd be very interested in those tools and versions that eliminate that.
BTW, we do have a box with Win10 that we use daily, which is always connected. That one is sometimes a problem since it's just a single 4c Xeon CPU with only 32GB RAM. I am planning on increasing the size of its SSD boot drive. But otherwise it's mostly maxed out. And being able to strip it from the MS insistency would be extremely beneficial to us.
Maybe you could PM me some links to those tools and version so we can let this thread get back to its "regular routine"?

Ah okay, that's the information I was missing - you are right, they are serials, I had assumed they were just 'claim' codes.

Does anyone know, if I have Saturate and Equivocate and then buy Punctuate on JRR shop, do I get the Elevate bundle for free? There's $6 of difference, so just wondering.

You don’t have the limiter so I’d guess not. Don’t know for sure though.

I also doubt it. But more importantly, don’t miss the free AX Chorus with coupon code ORANGE2:

Here is another comeback kid code. Please be sure to reply that you have used it so that others don't waste their time.

I think it's better to DM people the codes in private because multiple people can use them and may cause issues for them in the future

I used this one. Thank you so much.

That's not how it works, redeem codes like this can be used only once.

If you would send a private message to someone, he could just resell the code.

This way, it is guaranteed to be used.

It seems like there's no definitive answer. Though it seems if you own three out of three possible products qualifying for the upgrade, wouldn't it technically be free? I just don't know who to ask. Probably going to ask the support.

Or I'll just stick with Stealth as my main limiter (as I wanted Elevate for its' limiter).
