Re: Serif's Affinity
What a jolly place https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/ is to be sure, in stark contrast to xara.com which seems to have disappeared altogether. Affinity Designer seem to be doing everything right, and Xara are going backwards at a rate of knots.

@Bob - xara.com redirects visitors to the 'appropriate' part of the website based on where you are located as defineded by your IP - so, for example, using a proxy server might cause issues if the site can't handle this... also, maybe it's as a result of the current integration with magix
you could always try xara.com/eu [or .../uk or ..../us ....]

For the purposes of watching Rugby online, I use smartDNS Proxy which convinces RugbyPass.com that I am based in HongKong and allows me to watch wall-to-wall Rugby at reasonable rates. If the price I have to pay is not being able to visit Xara, then why should I worry?

Re: Serif's Affinity
I really think Serif understand the KISS principle very well... it may now be very difficult for anyone else in this sector, unless Serif somehow screw up
Magix [and now xara] don't appear to believe in this at all - I dipped my toe into the magix music making pool and whilst the core fuction is solid enough in terms of instrument playing, there are again far too many options of different programs that overlap function; plus the MM program can be flaky - needed a patch to fix a screen rendering issue caused by it's internal rendering engine being thrown by a recent windows update [ sound familiar?] and it's VST plug in system can be 'picky'
I think I will stick with ableton for the actual soundtrack composition
