That's very nice - would it be worth it for UK users like myself to get this upgrade from here or would we end up paying more in tax and shipping than if we bought it in a UK site (or euro like direct from NI??)

Sorry to bring this up again but does anyone know the answer to this? - I'm really itching to put in my order for the upgrade asap.

Their site has a "shipping calculator" -- for GB, it was about US$40. No word about taxes/customs.

$40

Not good

Maybe I should look for a cheap UK supplier??

btw, baggio, do you know if the convolution effect in kontakt2 introduces additional latency by itself?

It does introduce a latency but this can be reduced to 1.5 ms - however don't expect to be able too many instruments with this setting.

Also, it allow you to reduce the sample rate to use the more complex reverbs in real time - I presume that you then increase the sample rate when bouncing down/freezing the track.

For those interested, I contacted AudioMidi.com, they said there were expected their copies by the end of April. I don't think I can wait that long!

ok, thanks for the info. the samplerate option is nice, maybe for abusive use too

That sounds better but I still need to know if I'd be saving money ordering from the UK.

Doesn't look like Sweetwater ships internationally. What deals have you seen on the other side of the ocean?

Tip:

http://store.robotspeakstore.com/nainko2eac.html

Academic/Educational version for $230.00 or so I think (should apply to some of you). I have no idea about the reputation of the plae, but you should be able to price-match at Guitar Center or someplace.

Preferably, price-match at a place that doesn't actually carry the academic/educational version. Wouldn't want to limit yourself to a version that can't be used in commercial material

or WORSE

None

Everything's too expensive in the UK

HI

Try the Jrr shop - they give 10% discount to KVR forum users and are generally cheap anyway - I have purchased stuff from them recently although it was all download stuff.
