Is Total Studio Max worth it?

For $149? Yes.

Is the zPlane Elastique Pitch Pro v3 listed in the Sound Forge Pro 17 features the standalone/VST version or just embedded in its engine like other DAWs and Kontakt 7+?

I believe it's the former based on the fact that it's listed as an 'additional third party plugin'

Got it, thanks.

It comes with all versions and I have never seen it come with a separate serial number, so it must be integrated.
Unless they have changed this recently.

Yeah, chances are it'll be an OEM license that you can't sell separately (if that's what the op was thinking of) but I imagine if you know where it's located you can use it like any other VST

I intend on using it on my main DAW.

I forgot to post this one a week or two ago when it was released.

But it seems that Erik still has the price marked 50% off on his latest personal template release even though the countdown timer seems to have ended.

I really like this guy and wish him the best of success in his new business trying to help people make actual music.

He's got a great heartfelt video that I thought people should see to get to know him and that he's out there trying to help people make progress and not just buy more and more stuff.

I'll try to post the video link without the large preview window if I can figure out how to disable it.
If not, he's got a youtube channel called rapidflow. The video is called "2024 Review".

Hope this is of benefit to him by getting him some exposure and to everyone out there as we all begin our 2025. Here's to everyone's success as we navigate the coming year.

ENDED - Will send the lucky ones a PM in the next few days.

I will update here once they have all been sent, so that you will know you have missed out if not received a PM.
Some people didn't use the correct format so will miss out.

I was really pleased with myself as the format that I requested made it relatively easy to import the data into a spreadsheet and to assign the licenses to the 130+ individual requests.
But I made a rookie mistake and forgot that if you import a text file into Excel, it can default to saving it as a text file too.
So when I went to look at it the next day, yesterday, I only had a text file which didn't contain the colour coding that I had used to assign the licences.
It was ready to go on Tuesday but I will have to redo it now, which will get done in the next few days.

I have sent all the license details now via PM.
Almost everyone who applied following the correct protocol will have received something.
In a few cases, multiple people only showed interest in one product and there was only one, so they missed out.

A surprising number of people missed out due to wrongly sending the info via PM, not being able to receive PMs so the license details couldn't be sent or not formatting the text correctly.
If you didn't format it properly, it wouldn't import into Excel and I wasn't prepared to do even more work to sort it out.
I took a long time over this and I only asked to follow a simple protocol.

Happy music making this year all.

Thanks Agharta

I'm new here and I didn't know about not being able to receive PMs. Alas.

[Nspace]

Thank you Agharta! I bought one great plugin from you. Usable when tied to a NLE, still at a very accessible price, at a point that much of it is a gift from you .
Thank You again and yes! wish you too, happy music these coming years!

Wow, I didn't think there was a way of giving software away that could be more annoying than people posting them here but your convoluted process managed do just that. Congratulations!!
If a surprising amount of people sent you PM's, it's because that's how these transactions are NORMALLY done and you're weird (less than clear) rules completely fly in the face of that established protocol. Thanks for nothing!

Thanks again, agharta! Happy new year to you too
