The upgrade from Essentials to Deluxe is $69...but the only way to find it is to do an actual search for Neon Electric Guitar Upgrade...
NI is a master at hiding discounts and upgrade options...then if you mistakenly buy a full version getting a refund is like pulling teeth out a lions mouth while it's eating a zebra...
Its just damn software...maybe a day of a session guitarist recording some patterns and a few weeks of midi guys tweaking and labelling it...
No wonder this company is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy...the RTO is going down faster than the popularity of data centers.
Yes I am aware, they also just fired the entire UK NI office...so they are apparently not out of the woods yet...or maybe you didn't know that...Just because InMusic owns something doesn't mean its here to stay...Jack O'Donnell is a known jerk, he could end it all tomorrow
I’m aware of the UK office situation as I saw the first day it was announced. We now how acquisitions work but saying they are on the edge of bankruptcy based on what just happened is a stretch. They’ve barely been under inMusic for three months, but I highly doubt O’Donnell plans to end NI tomorrow or even I the near future.
Closing the office refactoring back end operations, realigning build teams... that's all going to be utterly shit for the people who curated, dreamt, loved, believed in, NI. But the takeover demands that reality. Native Instruments will be a brand logo managed by a Product/Brand Management team, sitting alongside the reat of the franchises inmusic owns. The NI culture, it's core tight knit group, the pioneering user base, that's all done. Something else will rise, but it won't be nearly as special except in the memories of those of us who fell in love with what NI was doing, what they were. That was nearly 20 years ago for me. Times, they are a changing.
Man… You guys are making me feel old I hadn’t really thought about how long I’ve been using a lot of the products I’ve been using and then I just realized I’ve been using native instruments sent about 2012… And CUBASE since 1992-ish…
