What about the hardware dongle? Do they somehow bypass that? Are the newest versions available? I don't like the idea of pirating it, but until I'm professional with my sound design, I question wether it's reasonable I pay the full ammount.
Er. BTW, it's primarily as a more standard sound design platform that I want it for. This is my professional aspiration. Making sound effects and implementing audio into varying media. I'm fairly exceptional with good ole' SoundForge, but it's not fit for alot of projects. As for what kinda music I'm interested in, I'll of course mess around with different electronic musics, but I'm telling myself that this isn't the real reason I'm going after these purchases.
I'm aware that it's pretty naked outta the box, that's why I figure I'm going to load up on VST's and see if I can jack my dad's sample libraries. NI Reaktor would probably be my very next purchase. I shiver at the possibilities...
It's kinda seeming that I don't QUITE need SX yet. I could start with LE/SE or whatever and upgrade if I really was feeling held back still. Thank you for that review. I think I'll have to downgrade for the sake of my non-existant savings, seeing as I just moved into a new place.
