finally got my Classic Pianos bundle today!  I'm thinking I don't need to install the "Kontakt Player" disk that comes with each one since I have Kontakt 4, right?

that's what I'm doing for now, skipping the kontakt player installations and going right for the piano installations.

it still takes forever, tho!

Hi There

I received my order confirmation email on 30th Nov immediately after the transaction and then received my invoice attached to a further email today.

Can I ask @Twigman. Given we're from the same(ish) neck of the woods, have you had similar? Just wondering how long my wait for my GR4 Pro might be.

On an unrelated note but slightly on a similar theme, I can't upgrade to X1 due to by registration of Sonar PE 8.5 not being married to my store account which I created after the registration of my 8.5. I sent Customer Services an email on 4th Dec but haven't had a reply. Mind you, I know they're busy just now. I want the good deal on JABB too.

<edited> To add that Cakewalk staff (3 separate members) were in touch with me shortly after posting. My account, registrations and serial numbers etc are now sorted and matched up. Great going guys. Cheers. I thought I'd better post and make sure that your great support was detailed and acknowledged in this post. Thanks again.


Stewart.

cakewalk support will have to sort that out for you.  if you don't get a response from cake then I'd suggest PM'ing one of the mods and they can hook you up with the right person to email.

Thanks for that Beagle

Who are the board mods on here? Are those the ones with [Cakewalk] in their names, or are they actually staff?

both!  that's why they can help you or at least get you to the right person for help!  just make sure and tell them that you've already tried the customer service form and haven't gotten a response.

Received my order confirmation Nov 29.
Heard nothing mre until yesterday I phoned and was told it would ship last night.
then yesterday pm I got an e-mail saying that it would ship in another 3 weeks.
Then, just now, I got an e-mail saying it was shipped last night.
But still not received the normal confirmation of shipping/invoice e-mail.
Haven't a clue what to believe!!

I had a nice thing happen.

Yesterday N.I. support answered my email from last week and sent me a voucher so that I could buy Abbey Road 70's drums at the sale price.

I have to say, it engendered a lot of good will on my part.

Just thought I'd share.

best regards,
mike

Thanks Twigman

It horrible to left out of the know. I'm just going to sit tight for now. The snow here along with the Christmas rush may make it damn near impossible to get things before the end of the year. I've been awaiting a WinXP Pro CD from Germany for a week and a half now. It was scanned in at the UK Hub 4 days ago without any movement since.

@Mike - Nice going. I knew NI would look kindly on people who were trying to buy but failed due their website issues. I have another thread in the Hardware section where I had a bit of a situation with a Behringer UCG102 I use to mess around on the fly. To cut a long story short, it came with 3 NI Combos bundled (in demo mode). The idea is that only one of these Combos can be activated as part of your deal with the remaining two having to be purchased if need be. You aren't given the choice of which of the three you can have. Your unlockable Combo is pre-determined via the Combo specific serial number on the case. I didn't care much for the one I was stuck with. On dropping NI a line with regard to a separate matter, they kindly offered to lock my designated Combo and send me the serial number for the one I liked better. Now that was very accommodating of them. I never asked for this. I mentioned it in the passing in my email to them when querying something else. 'They' offered to go out of their way to do this. Nice folks.

However, if I haven't received my GR4 Pro by 2012, I may be back to reactivate this thread.
