I came here to listen to Absolute 6 due to being offered a 70% discount. You are probably the best person I have seen to showcase a library like this. Excellent keyboards skills, you play so effortlessly! A new sub for you!
Hey man, I am a bit struggling to understand the loyal rebates. If I buy the 50% off update to Cubase Pro 13, I'll get a voucher of 70% off on Absolute 6 ONLY IF I activated the Cubase 13 license. Now, I just wanna buy the license and activate it later when the Cubase 14 gets released . In this case, will the voucher expire and I won't be able to buy Absolute 6?
@Ahmad-Mounir44 it is a little tricky, especially when you are looking ahead to upgrading to an upcoming product or version. I think in the case of Cubase 14, I am not sure of an exact release but typically there is a grace period for a complimentary upgrade. If you own any Steinberg and sometimes other DAW or virtual instrument, you might qualify for a crossgrade which might be a good option to save. Take a look here to see in more detail regarding the vouchers, etc.. From what I see, you do have to activate the Cubase 13 license to have the additional loyalty rebate applicable. Check it out: www.steinberg.net/promotion/loyalty-40-years/
@@PraiseTracks Thanks man. What confuses me more is that people in vi control just registered (not activated) their Cubase Pro 13 and received the voucher. But Steinberg says you have to activate it. About Cubase 14, I believe it will be around March or April 2025 because Cubase 12 was released in Mar 2022 followed by Cubase 13 in Nov 2023 so seems like Steinberg will release a new version every 18 months. So, it's wise to buy the 13 license now and hold it until Mar or Apr 2025 and update it in the grace period. What a cat and mouse marketing ! lol
I have never seen Chewie so happy as during that opening song! Well done, Simeon! I'm a Halion fan. Whatever it is that makes one synth or sampler sound special, Halion has it. Seven was a major improvement, too.
Wow, Halion is such an underrated piece of product! somehow it is much less known compared to Kontakt or Omnisphere for no good reason. Halion 7 has absolutely AMAZING sounds and presets
I was searching for a Video to check if Absolute 6 is worth with a 75% discount.... I heard the Intro... I subscribed... and i guess i will buy this collection! :D
You're amazing and got som amazing playing skills :) So fun to watch :) And...i bought it because of you showed all these in a great way how they can be used :) So big thanks :)
I absolutely love the way you describe in detail about the patches. It's cute and funny and at the same time so much knowledge. Respect sir. You got a new FAN 🙋🏻♂️
WELCOME to the channel! Thanks so much for your kind words, they encourage and energize me to continue with taking all of you on more fantastical and hopefully inspirational Joyful Journeys.
Thank you for making this video. I will definitely purchase this. 🥰 All because of your video. Thank you. I also wish I was as great as you playing the piano. You are a great musician. subbed 😁
I say most of my brain is filled with sound, music, and songs. A bit from a Looney Toons cartoon, another from a live concert, lots of John Williams in there, many experiences in private and corporate worship settings and concerts, so it’s all there one way or another. The first time I saw The Sound of Music was in the theatre filling that glorious 70mm big screen on a middle school field trip. You can hear the notes and experience are still resonating to this day. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind support.
Hi Simeon, Just got home to find that you’ve already streamed, and i somehow thought it would be later😢. Also, just seen that it was a Premiere, not a livestream. Like David Siddle mentioned, it’s during the working day here in the U.K., so will watch it later with luck. 😄
I must say, that Steinberg´s ABSOLUTE has much modern content and sounds than NI Komplete (except sample content, that´s obvious bedause the inflexible fiddly old Kontakt is big industry content standard). I really love Halion and it´s FM DX7 synthesis!!! Groove Agent and Padshop are great to use too. Absolute higly recommend.
What a shame! I've been a Cubase user for 5 years now and I barely touch Halion and its amazing products. I remember using Padshop 2 in a few trailer tracks then I stopped using it after becoming busy with other synths. This black Friday I'll be getting the update to Cubase 13 and Absolute 6 using the voucher. Side Note: I bet you're an outstanding arranger keyboard player :)
I just purchased ABSOLUTE 6, and have no regrets either. It's a massive package, and wanted to know how much it added to Cubase 13. I have used Cubase since version 4; however never seriously looked into the ABSOLUTE bundle until the price was the lowest deal I've ever seen- 70% off.
@@BernardShreveJr I know the sale is still going on until 25 sept. But I hope I get a better deal in BF like 60% or more hopefully but I am not sure. I am so hesitated to purchase now just to discover later that it got better offer in BF lol. About Absolute, irony is that I never heard of it or knew it until recently. I'm busy making music to the extent that I don't know certain steinberg products because I simply focused on buying kontakt-only products. All the best :)
I've been thumbing around for Absolute 6 reviews as I have a 70% discount voucher from SB. The video is friendly but I'm SO underwhelmed by the sounds in this collection. Oh well. The price was certainly gonna be good :)
ABSOLUTE is a collection of many instruments (HALion included). You get a few additional virtual synths as well as drums and other sound sources to give you a total package. Let me know if you had any additional questions.
@@PraiseTracks Thanks brother.I was just trying to figure out if I needed Absolute if I already owned Halion.I guess Absolute has more then. I wish they had an upgrade pricing .
I have been using the Logitech MX Vertical mouse for sometime. It has really been helpful in preventing the dreaded carpal tunnel pain that traditional input devices can cause. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PraiseTracks Another quick question, please. I just bought Absolute 6, and at 05:04 of your video I see you have more Absolute content than me, on the right side. I'm wondering if the extra things that you have (which I don't have) is something that you bought separately, that is not included in Absolute 6 per default? The ones that I don't have are: 4Knob packs, Baltic Shimmers, Colors Free, Colors Synth, Flux, and many others.
Halion vs Kontakt Player 7 = would Halion be lighter on the CPU? I'd prefer not to have to buy a new laptop but Kontakt chokes with Noire when I play live.
It definitely depends on how the particular library is programmed. I think for the most part HALion 7 has been optimized to gain more performance. Also, the way you can create complex multi-instruments and layers is a real plus for HALion (HALion Sonic). I think you can download a trial of HALion and give it a go to see how it performs for you. Looking at performance, system memory and fast storage are two primary things to look at other than the horsepower of your laptop CPU. Thanks for watching.
Amazing opening! 🎉
Came for the intro, stayed for the review. Fantastic!

Now 149 euros for Cubase 13 owners, stunning price.

The tone at 40 is absolutely fantastic & you're playing very tasteful & inspiring! Guitar playing on keyboard is awesome too!

I also wish I was as great as you playing the piano. You are a great musician. subbed 😁
2:29 That ballad EP is mesmerising. You play it beautifully.
May I ask what instrument it is. (Just purchased Absolute 6 at 70% discount in my case)
Thanks in advance
An excellent overview, thanks Simeon ! :D
Ciao Simeon,una presentazione spumeggiante!😃
Thanks! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My pleasure, I am so glad you enjoyed watching.
Love it
Excellent video! Thanks!
Stumbled on your channel as I'm upgrading from Absolute 5 -6 (mainly for Halion 7), but your intro made my day 😁. New subscriber
I love how you somewhat remember so many songs. Ha ha! Great demo, Simeon!

“Absolutely “ an amazing intro.
Thank you, it was such a fun experience putting this together. Joyfully yours!

Awesome! I just got Halion 7 which I’m yet to explore . Is Absolute a plugin different from Halion?
ABSOLUTE is a collection of many instruments (HALion included). You get a few additional virtual synths as well as drums and other sound sources to give you a total package. Let me know if you had any additional questions.
@@PraiseTracks Thanks brother.I was just trying to figure out if I needed Absolute if I already owned Halion.I guess Absolute has more then. I wish they had an upgrade pricing .
Man, I love your positive vibes and your good style! By the way, what is the name of the mouse you are using?
I have been using the Logitech MX Vertical mouse for sometime. It has really been helpful in preventing the dreaded carpal tunnel pain that traditional input devices can cause.
