Good for you Brando!! I also got their newsletter and thought about Chromaphone.......I just couldn't do this to the good lady after I managed to get everything I wanted for in my new build.
 
I have to say this though, the customer service at AAS is extremely good. I couldn't find the installer for String Studio on my old system and emailed them to request a new one. The very same evening, they sent a link back + the authorisation info to me to do my install. Very efficient and prompt!! 

Thanks Mesh! Yes - AAS are very good and responsive. One of the best in that respect I think. 
How's the new DAW? I followed your build through your posts. Sounds awesome. I haven't got the fortitude to go through what you did - my old machine is soldiering on and I don't find it limiting at all for what I do.

I'm still loading all my VST's/software/plugins, but X2 is delightfully responsive in the limited use I've had with it. I feel (I think the word is) liberated with this new DAW. Just the instantaneous response when clicking the mouse is simply amazing to me (I've still not got used to this kind of speed :))...... Having an SSD for an OS drive is just priceless and my sys boots up in something like 9 secs..........no more hourglass. So, yes I'm very happy.
 
I didn't thnk it took much fortitude at all to make this move...........just needed the funds.
With a bit of research and organisation, it actually was quite easy, and very satisfying in getting it done by yourself (also got a lot of help from the good folks in here)......go for it I say!!!!

Hey Mesh - I have thought about it. But my old Quad is running fine and I don't need the upgrade. What I meant by fortitude is based from the thought of having to find all my authorizations, the current installers, re-installing, re-authorizing. Yuck. Of course, if not needing something stopped me I'd have 10% of the plugins I currently do. LOL
