Hi there, Here is the latest offering for registered Hardware owners of Focusrite gear a 199 euro value FREE. https://www.acustica-audio.com/store/products/creamHavent used it yet but the user manual is definitely different. Thanks Steve for letting me know about these giveaways in the past.

Acqua Cream from the link above appears to have a price of €199.00 ? Is that correct?

Yep that is right VideoTrack, but Focusrite are giving it away free with a redeem coupon, I would give the coupon but it seems it can only be used once. I have tried but one time use only.
If you own Focusrite gear though, you can register at their site and get the software free.

I get all the way to check out and it wants me to create an Acoustica account, which I choose not to do, so it appears you can't log in with a Focusrite account. I am tired of setting up accounts and getting junk mail from them, so I'll pass on this one.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023? 2. Send it to us.

musiclover, did you get it installed? Is it VST2 or 3 (will it load in BiaB or RB/PT)? Or does it have to be used as a standalone in those cases?
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I have it installed in my Cubase vst folder, works fine from what I can see in biab, though no doubt probably plenty of others that do the same thing.
From their website,
"CREAM2 is a VST/AAX/AU plugin suite composed of several modules based on an iconic series of hand-built British vacuum tubes and transistor-based solid-state hardware made between the late '50s and the early '70s. Due to the rare historic topology and components used in the original hardware, Cream offers a unique tone that stands out for its incredible warmth and tonal richness"
Usually I can't resist a freebie, though have far too many

I am tired of setting up accounts and getting junk mail from them, so I'll pass on this one. Unfortunately, most of the free Focusrite deals require you to sign in on vendor sites to get the software. It's the price you pay for FREE. That's what spam email accounts are for!

Yes, we all know there's no such thing as 'Free'. There will be a trade-off somewhere, getting added to multiple mailing lists we don't want to be on, and more.
However, for anyone who wants the deal, it's available.

I installed the Aquarius dashboard application from this link, https://www.acustica-audio.com/pages/aquariusYou should be able to find the free software install link when you open Aquaius, takes a while to download it, as near 2GB download, but once the free software is installed ok, just go into properties of Aquarius open file location and delete those Cream download files, I don't think you need them. A lot of companies seem to go this route now with a central dashboard to install software, that box thing fooled me for a while too. Seems there are more hoops nowadays to jump through whether the software is free or not.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
