That anniversary sale almost sounds like an April Fools joke.
I might go for it just for Spectral Layers which I'd been considering for awhile

Does it have notation? I atched the video and didn't see anything about it.

I bit - couldn't pass it up.  I had just downloaded the Cubase Demo yesterday but hadn't had a chance to look.  With this at nearly half the cost, made it an easy choice.  $149 - that's the cost of my upgrade from Vegas Pro 14 to Pro 15 (which I haven't done seeing as you can buy the full version at that price atm as a new customer!)
 
Purchase was painless as a pro customer already - instant email with SN and download link.

I’ve been wanting Spectral layers for so long but I’ve never had a means of getting it cheaply. Even though I have X3 Suite already from their last promo, that was just an upgrade to the new version of Samplitude for me as I had all the other bundled software.

It came with Sound Forge 11 which I already had and I have so many copies of Independence Pro which they’re still flogging after about 10 years.

But is suspect it’s worth it just to get Spectral Layers for USD$149. I have to sort out lost accounts first as they don’t have any of my Samplitude records at all, just info from the Sony day

Hey there,

For your missing accounts and for others to hear feedback if deal is real, I downloaded the starter installs last night after purchasing. Lots of content, slow connection, but finally got it around 2 a.m. Had some registration issues, but all the activations and installs went flawlessly. As it turns out, the more Pro level products from Magix are registered and supported by a different branch and website. I kept trying to activate with my long standing Magix login info and kept getting error. Part me, part them not making clearer. Since this was my first higher end Magix software, I had to choose New Acct at registration window in SamProX3......
All worked fine from then on. Turns out SamProX3, SpectraLayers Pro 4, and I guess Sequoia if you have that (I obviously don’t) are all handled through the magix-audio .com site, login button found in lower left corner.
Once I figured that out, saw my Samplitude PX3 there, I was able to manually register my SpectraLayers key in that acct no problems. ***Note: Sound Forge Pro 11 is handled by std Magix site*** I don’t understand why it’s a split thing, but somehow i feel extra special because I now own higher end software with a dedicated auth and support site :-)
Now a gazillion gb of addl content downloads for today! Life is Good!

Hope this helps someone, or many people out!
Cheers!

Found that there is a demo, but you need the USB dongle just to use the trial, it seems...
 

It’s very similar to Samplitude Music Studio version if there is a demo for that... just more content and some specialized features in ProX I believe.

The url had some extra characters at the end. I fixed it.

The link no longer says “update” anywhere... I think they fixed it! Mine went no update only problems last night!

Bought and installed, took some time but no dongle required. Only issue was some sort of plug in that never installed with Spectralayers but with only 4 hours sleep i'll sort that another time.

Lol, sound like me last few days, no sleep... besides backing up all the Cakewalk content and then a huge download pkg with the Magix deal, my computer and my eyes have been stretched for days...
so far I found that the cool Izotope Mastering and Repair Suite seems to be only visible in Sound Forge Pro 11. Hopefully I can reload it to be avail directly in Samplitude Pro X3 as I wanted it to be...

I bought it today. How do you make the mixer full screen? It won't drag and i can't find any setting for it. I'm glad my Fader Port is supported

Been playing with the demo and the console size will change when you change the skin or add more tracks, etc. ASFIK it does not go full screen which is a bummer. You can add your own control surface if not supported but it is time consuming to map things out.

How do you register it on their site?
I was able to activate it within the program itself and received an email confirmation but can't login to their site.
I wondered if I'd got the wrong password so tried to get a new one but had no response; not in spam either.
Do you get the Melodyne license once you register Samplitude from within your account?
It also seems a mess and doesn't exactly breed confidence. 

I'm not 100% on this, but I think MAGIX keeps consumer and professional accounts separate. Try creating an account via their Pro Audio Service Center portal.

I got the serial number with my confirmation email. It's at the bottom. As far as I know, you can just sell the key and it will work with any Melodyne Essentials download.

Great that I can pass it on as makes it even better value.
 

Yep, it sounds like you already have a home in mind for it. But for anyone else who might find themselves with spare/extra music software licenses, please consider donating them to a local school, public recording studio, or some other organization that might benefit. 'Tis the season!
