At any rate, there are people waiting for SN's that need to get them and was hoping to have this at/near the top of the pile for when cake comes in. Always a shame when people feel they need to do a drive-by.

It was less of a drive by and more of a water balloon party.

I want to know how these serial numbers are manufactured. Are they made out of some precious metal or rare wood? Are they waiting on a delivery?

LOL

I was surprised to see my post with replies haha.

call it what you will but it's an embarrassing world trait right now



Whatever dood. I'm an old git, plus I'm british, therefore I am well used to patiently waiting in qeues or waiting for something I've ordered to take days to arrive.


However, let me explain something here. One of the supposed great advantages of buying software online is that, in most cases, you can use that software straight away.


When I upgraded to full Breverb I got the serial number straight away. With TH2 also being an Overloud product I figured that I would also get the serial number for that straight away.


That didn't happen, which was fair enough, because the instructions said that Cakewalk would provide the serial numbers with 30 minutes.


That didn't happen either.


And it still hasn't happened.


Now, if I was told before I placed my order that I would need to wait for three days for the serial number, I would have still bought the product and I would patiently await the issue of the serial number.


But when you are told that the serial number will be supplied within 30 minutes, it is a tad annoying when it takes many days to get sorted out.


It is a Cakewalk thing, and this is not the first time it has happened to me this year.


Fingers crossed it will be sorted before I get home from work today. But did someone say "holiday?" What's that then? Are Cakewalk off today (Monday)? Bummer if they are...

a) It's doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you get the breverb SN's straight off, you should get the TH2 numbers.

b) The d___b___ in question seems to have directed his witty and highly intellegent comments at me specifically, completely disgrarding people who PAID MONEY for the update and have not gotten it.  What a weirdo.

c) Yes, stupid idiotic "columbus day" is a holiday here in the great ol' USA, so it will likely NOT be until day after.

d) Why don't I have a spell checking on in IE (since I have to use IE for this forum)????

Is it me or is twifobysea a troll, and a dim one at that?  You raised a perfectly reasonable point.  If he went to buy his weekly groceries and the supermarket took his money but didn't give him his monkey nuts and lite beer for several days, he'd be pretty miffed.
 
I've had this happen with serial numbers from cake, usually over a holiday of some sort, and emailed them.  I always got the impression that they sorted it out the second someone went in to Cake after holiday and saw my email.  Often, oddly, on a Sunday afternoon.
 
Hope it comes soon.  I'm thinking of upgrading to either Breverb or TH2, so tell me what you think of them, as I can't decide which.

If you look at his recent topics, there's one asking when he'll get his download link for X2.  Seems funny that he criticises you having started a not too dissimilar thread himself..

Hi jb101,

I've had Breverb 2 full version for a week now but I've not really pushed at the boundaries yet. I fancied have all of the algorithms available, but only because I'm a bit greedy.

I think that, if you were only going to upgrade between on or the other then it would have to be TH2. In my opinion, the Sonar version of TH2 is very light on the range of amps and stomp boxes and stuff compared to the full version.

Don't get me wrong, both Breverb and TH2 a very usable in their cut down form, but I think you get more bang for your upgrade buck if you get TH2.


As for twoifbysea, and others like him here, I find it a bit sad when I see peeps do things like this when, at the end of the day, we are generally here to help each other.

I'll admit that I sometimes might thing "what a whally" when I see someone asking what I might consider to be a daft question. But I refrain from doing so because is just doesn't help anyone and would make me look like a prat. I find it best to back out of such posts and keep my opinions to myself, and the general community looks a lot better for it, again, in my opinion...
