Oh well, I'm pumped!!! This is awesome!

delays in serials getting e-mailed is common stuff with NI. I've made orders where I get them instantly, and orderes where it took a full 24 hours. I've never waited longer than 24 though.

I have to admit, that after listening to the demo's of them, I would not have bought them individually, but now that I have them all except one, I'm very pleased with the quality.

^^^ Ya I feel ya!! Some of them are kinda weak. Like, I wouldn't have bought True School or Conant Gardens, not really my style.

Yeah, jumped on this one. I was bummed that I bought some kits with the $30 off coupons previously but couldn't skip this deal. At $11 each the expansion kits are a no-brain bargain.

I took advantage of this offer yesterday, so happy with the purchase. The serials came in less than 15 minutes for me, the downloads and installation took much longer though, obviously.
Must say, I'm impressed with the quality of sounds I've heard in these expansions so far, but have not yet listened through them all. I agree that $49 for a pack on its own, is NOT value for money, considering the content size for an individual pack. Having said that, it seems like getting nine for $11 each is a steal!

I just sprung for this, even though I have Drop Squad from my coupon.
I must say, there is a LOT of material here. more than I'll ever use. I think it is worth it just for the learning experience....

Ugh, with the clock quickly ticking away here I’m on the fence now, as no brainer as this deal is. I’ve never really used my Maschine. At best a couple times a year I get motivated to blow the dust off it and learn it through watching tutorials, but it never really gets past that. I think I have some mental hang-up with essentially running a DAW inside another DAW.

Yeah, you really should try to get over that....

I guess my main problem is it would be great for selecting samples, editing them, and creating patterns, and then I would want to drag the patterns into the arrangement, but if I start farting around with automation and effects within Maschine I don’t know how that translates back and forth when the MIDI is coming from the arrangement in the DAW.
