bjnette 149 Posted August 9, 2017 This coming soon and Spring release caused me to start demoing the latest in Amp sims and I decided to upgrade from Amplitude2 before HD500 to Amplitude 4. Am happy using it with my HD500. Can't imagine Native will be required now but willing to demo it out. No rush. There are plenty of good ones now. The question is will Native replace the popularity of PodFarm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digital_Igloo 1,107 Posted August 10, 2017 As of yesterday, we have the non-lettered (customer-facing release) 1.00 build. We're letting it soak for a few more days just in case. If all goes well, and I had to guess, you'll see it sometime next week. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If all goes well, and I had to guess, you'll see it sometime next week. That`s great to hear dear DI... Are you willing to shed some light on the new 2.30 firmware update or do we have to fasten the straps in our straight jackets for a couple more weeks? It`s getting difficult to come by every week that goes by... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have the Pro version, the Group Policy Editor makes is easy to shut down annoying components (Cortana, etc). If the person configuring the machine knows what they're doing, Win10 is an excellent DAW platform. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jroseberry 57 Posted August 11, 2017 T This doesn't always work from what I understand, and it also is not available in the non-pro version, correct? It always works... You can even shut down notifications... including the annoying prep for Founders Update. The Pro version has the Group Policy Editor (Home version does not). That makes it quick/easy to shut-down (or re-enable) features like One Drive and Cortana. You can do the same things in the Home version (but all has to be done in the Registry).

jroseberry 57 Posted August 11, 2017 You *can* run 32Bit applications on Win10x64... But they're limited to addressing 4GB of RAM. If you're using virtual-instruments, that's extremely limiting. ie: If running Superior Drummer 2, the full kits (~1.5GB) load/stream from RAM. Using VIs, it doesn't take long to blow thru 4GB of RAM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterHamm 656 Posted August 11, 2017 You can do the same things in the Home version (but all has to be done in the Registry). Anything that can "only be done in the Registry" or, on Mac only in Terminal, makes me laugh. It's freakin' 2017 and you are making me do command line?

Some of us just want to use computers, not program them. Many folks feel the same. From a DAW performance perspective, there's no difference between Home and Pro... But the convenience of gpedit.msc is easily worth the extra $40. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silverhead 8,823 Posted August 12, 2017 We're very close. As of yesterday afternoon, all Helix Native 1.0 bugs have been squashed. ....I expect that means that all serious bugs, those that would prevent the initial release, have been squashed. Unless this is the first totally bug free release of complex software in the history of computers there will probably still be some minor bugs to be found. (Just trying to help manage expectations 😉😀) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did first install the other day. Will see what really is the difference & yes, Pro and/or Enterprise does make a difference concerning better system functionality and control ....
