Where did I/we say it should be better? Nobody here is worried. We've been doing these a while. Started Thursday morning US time, note that means that one day delay in key software markets like Japan for starters. We just ended day 3, and we're at 1431. I'd expect we'll all (well all participants who are also confident this will be a success) have another free item to choose on Monday.

Well you do get WUP for a year on those 3 plugins...

I didn't know we had to actually need something to enter!?!?!?! No one told me about that rule! 😲

https://www.kuassa.com/available-now-amplifikation-lancaster/ The Charm of British Chime and Jangly Sound. The AC30 Inspired Amplifikation Lancaster is now available at Intro Price! Amplifikation Lancaster is available now for purchase through our website and selected resellers at intro price of $25 (valid for purchases until August 22nd, 2021. Normal Price: $49). It’s also the latest addition for their Amplifikation 360 Bundle thus it is also available for free for complete A360 Bundle owners. This time, we take one step further in translating the inspirations of Vox Amplifiers* to recreate its original tone and feel throughout the decades, making distinct sounds from the 70’s, 90’s and late 2000’s accessible for guitarists. In addition, a parallel signal path from the normal and top boost channel similar with the jumpered mod gives the amp more mojo from the tone sought after by many guitarists. A treble booster pedal FX is also included giving the plugin a total modern incarnation of the original hardware setup. Vox AC30 were built as the demand for louder amps increased in the late 50s where the rock and roll culture began to shine. Known for its bell-like chime and bright jangly sound, undoubtedly the Vox AC30 is very influential in defining the sound of the British movement with the faces of The Beatles, Queen, The Who, The Clash, Ritchie Blackmore, Oasis, U2, and Radiohead. Consistently in production for more than 50 years, the Vox AC30 went through many incarnations and models throughout its history of different holders. We took three of their most distinguishable tones and compiled them into one amp to rule them all: Amplifikation Lancaster Key Features NEW! Range Master Style Treble Booster: Inseparable with the AC30’s tone. Modified to fully match the Lancaster’s tone. NEW! Parallel signal path for the Normal Channel and Top Boost Channel. Use both channels simultaneously, similar to ‘jumpered’ Vox* AC30. 3 amp types, taken from different eras of Vox* AC30s: Lancaster A: Late 2000’s AC30. Breaks up and overdrives early. Raw and raucous. Lancaster B: 1990s Limited Edition AC30. Fat and slightly compressed. Sounds thick with overdrive or distortion. Lancaster 😄 Modified 1970s AC30. Cleaner sound with huge headroom, instantly recognizable for that loud jangly tone. Sag and Bias feature on the power amp section. Low pass and high pass filters. Five types of cabinets with impulse responses taken from genuine Vox combo amps. Seven types of workhorse mics: Shure* SM57, Sennheiser* MD421, Sennheiser* MD441, C&T Naked Eye*, Royer* 121, AKG* C414, Neumann* TLM103. Freely adjustable dual-miking configurations with mono or stereo configuration, just like a real-life guitar recording session with mix option. Built-in Noise Gate and Limiter New top view interface for lifelike guitar playing experience Straightforward and easy to use interface Supports up to 8x Oversampling. Availability Amplifikation Lancaster is available as VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX, A360 modules, and as Standalone App, while the Rack Extension version will be released soon after.

In case I lost the room re my probably and carlsberg comment

Ringo was a FAR BETTER Drummer than most give him credit for....no Neil Peart, but still a VERY STRONG drummer!

So now I have triple covers when it gets really really really cold at night.

\ @Bajan Blue So far so good.

Yep... IK's objective has been realized!!! LOL!!! Happy shopping.

Yours should be: I complain all the time, but I still buy from you

That will be my new theme song!

I wrote my song already. It’s called “I’ve been loyal but you only offer discounts to the new guy”. Crossing fingers I win hehe

“I think Selling England By The Pound is an enduring masterpiece of drumming. Beautiful drumming, lovely sound, and the arrangements, I think they really nailed the best of what that band as an entity could have done with that album” – Neil Peart on Phil Collins

So far I'm loving the new instruments. I have a HW Prophecy and the emulation is near enough and a lot easier to program . What surprised me though was the miniKORG 700S. A very nice sounding synth and with all the limitations of the original. The Tritons are also OK and although I always preferred the Roland romplers the cloud thing is not for me. Roland... I'll use HW. But for the classic Korg sound the emulations are fine.

Even though he may not have been the best drummer in The Beatles*, he was the best drummer for them.

Enjoy your w/e

have to say that I'm VERY disappointed in 8Dio because of this. I never received the email either...which is ridiculous... It took DAYS to get a response from them...and at that point I no longer cared (I already had the code from elsewhere)

What do you mean PROBABLY

now that is getting to the Alba-core of modern music 😆

That's the beauty of the virtual world, I can own as many amps as I would want to IRL without taking up floor space. Especially at 25 bones, it's a no brainer. 😉

Control = Power. I've always liked this vid" because there is some cool footage🤩 The Clash - Overpowered By Funk:

Yep, Unify is finger licking good.

If you don't already have Unify, you should get it! Only $79. https://www.pluginguru.com/products/unify-standard/ Unify comes loaded with content out of the box, and also has many free "Unified" patch libraries available for many commercial and free synths (you will need to have the synth licenses to use these libraries, demos won't work for them). Such as:

And you can get the Sampletank kit in the Group Buy.

And down the rabbit hole I went... (This is actually related to this Kuassa thread! ) https://nalbantov.com/biography/ From reading the bio on @filo's link above, Dimi met Kuassa's founder "Aradaz" and used his FREE Amp to record his 2nd album in 2008. (links are on that page) https://www.kvraudio.com/product/aradaz_amp_crunch_by_aradaz It looks like he's done stuff for IK, Overloud and NI too! ------- PS. That FREE amp doesn't seem to be available anymore. Most likely it became this? https://www.kuassa.com/products/amplifikation-lite/

I haven't posted in this thread yet.

You are right - Dimitar Nalbantov, from Bulgaria. Great player. https://nalbantov.com/

NO....the free itme is given DIRECTLY from IKM...not Sweetwater

You would have to actually "BUY" 2 licenses to achieve that. Sweetwater's deal is buy one from them, and IK will give you the free one. So if you buy 2 and register 2 at IK, then you will get 2 (or more with Group Buy) at IK.

Larry caught the fine print. Sweetwater is not giving anything away. They are just luring you into the IK group buy with 1 free item. Shady if you ask me... "Free Product will be available upon REGISTRATION" (at IK).

You're apparently right. I missed that! I thought they were offering a direct deal when Sweetwater said "one". Tricky dudes...

This is the end, my friend

What a shock!!!

Besides a sundry of sounds, looks like all I'd be in for are these four - will wait and see... Pocket book can't justify ATM but hey, when has GAS ever listened to reason!? Hammond B-3X Lurssen Mastering Console MixBox MODO DRUM

I'm in. I don't have much IK apart from the Axe I/O and (all of) Amplitube, so plenty of decent options to go for. Hoping for 4-5 freebies, at least.

The next line is "the same 30%, and hundreds off TS3 Max, that the guy who bought 1 Plugin gets!!!" and then the background singers sing.....YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!

Hey, who's counting anyway? ... oops we all are actually... 1657 this morning, I predict one more free item by the end of the day!

Seems all good so far after a few days of usage so here is the link: https://sync.focusrite.com/s/y36gakQssglmbxd/download It just downloads the .exe file (I have scanned this with Bitdefender but note you should always check internet downloads with your own endpoint detection software). Note from Focusrite Support is to ensure you disconnect your interface BEFORE running the install. Please note this driver was provided for a Scarlett Gen1 2i4 - if you are using it with other models/ generations of interfaces, then I am unable to provide any assurances as to whether it is (a) suitable or (b) will work. Your risk, as they say. Andy

That guitar voicing chart still is pretty handy.

MixBox is killer! Find a way to get that!

If you have got cash too loose, this is the place! I imagine you have already bowed to king Larry?

Yeah it's hard just sitting here watching!!! But that's a good thing too!!

my guess is, another freebie by monday. and another one by next friday.

Count has already doubled to 1389!!!

Oh boy oh boy another deep discussion of being WUP'd.
