I thought about buying this - but it needs more cowbell.

Add YNY23 and get ANOTHER 10% off...get that price for one down to $16.99!

So 2022 will see the advent of $19.99 plugins!

Exactly. And my fav also for this reason. One other major reason that I will mention is the feel. I couldn't find another drum program that can capture the feel that I was looking for. It's a type of push/pull that constantly goes on throughout the song. This is the only drum program I play with, instead of following it. It's not locked to a midi grid. It flows! Like a real drummer! Yes, it does have a learning curve. What I have gathered from using the program is that to get the "feel and flow" I mentioned above, takes lots of different parameters that interact with each other, and sometimes are difficult to understand just by looking at them and playing around with them. I had to sit with the manual for several (read many times) go-throughs with the program open, read what a parameter did, tried it, and was then able to understand how it all worked. That it does. I use it and love it, but I have only scratched the surface with it. I do use the samples from the program (not all the time). When I do use the sample that come with it, I don't use much, if any, of the processing that comes with it. I use outboard stuff. It has a very unique sound that I like. My fav is the Bonham kit. They call it the Bonzo Kit. Well said. Once you get a grip on how to work the parameters, then switch to a different drummer (keeping the same parameters) and you now have a whole new style!! Turns the song that your working on into something you never even thought about. And that inspiration is priceless. May not be the style/drummer you want, but then you begin to realize that this program is very close to a real drummer. (Nah, go back to playing what you was before!) It's a drummer, it will be difficult! You just won't have to feed it or buy it beer!! Or worry about it being on time.... Or it sleeping over cause they couldn't drive home... Or helping them carry all that bs into the studio.... Or.....

Hey Zo, in case you weren't aware, Windows 11 is the "current" version.

My upgrade to Diamond is $53. Do I dare trust Lucy holding that football?

I can't recall how many times I've heard an ABBA song and just been floored by their awesome drum sound.

Grabbed 'em today! Fuse Audio. Great vintage plugs without any preset options, so that you know they are true vintage, LOL!

I know there are issues with Jamstix for Mac (plenty of warnings on their website), but for Windows it's great. It's my favorite drum software as it's designed to work like a real drummer - it will only play what a real drummer can play - 2 arms and 2 feet. It's drum samples are not great, so I usually replace them with other kits, and the program makes that easy to do. If Jamstix has one major problem, it's the learning curve. This is not like any other drum program so it will take some time to understand how to use it, but if you want a program that can emulate a huge amount of styles and drummers, then Jamstix is the way to go. Also, it's incredibly inexpensive compared to all the other drum software on the market. Right now it's on sale for $119 for Jamstix and every add-on which includes 191 styles and 41 drummers. And there is a free demo version that will give you a good taste of the program and it never expires. So, if you have some time and would like to get a fantastic drum program, then check out the demo: https://www.rayzoon.com/index.html#free_version

I'm running the 4.5.0 beta too - and find it fairly stable on windows 10 / Cubase I do agree about the rather odd GUI choices pointed out by Kurre and the steep/vertical learning curve - More importantly I'd love to see some proper ongoing development. The latest beta took a couple of years to come out and it has very minor fixes. Judging from the progress it feels like it's a fairly low priority for Ralph. It's a shame because it has lots of potential locked away, deep within it. If I'm honest, I'd like it even more if Toontrack would build this functionality into Superior Drummer or EZdrummer. They would almost certainly fix the issues I, personally have with it. Just my opinion obvs

@Kurre Did you try downloading the demo using the Jamstix 4 Manager? https://www.rayzoon.com/rayzoon_downloads.html I have full Jamstix with all expansions and the Jamstix Manager works reliably for me (Windows 10). I am running 4.5.0 Beta 1 which seems pretty reliable so far and the previous non-beta was also fine (you can enable beta installs in the Jamstix Manager under Install Options).

For all the singles in the Cakewalk Forum :

Here is my new go at Bings White Christmas. White Christmas Vintage 45.90mb My Master AAMS Master

I can confirm that. It uses heaps of CPU in every DAW I've tried it in. Scheps OmniChannel is pretty light in comparison, as is the Waves SSL Channel / SSL G Channel.

Actually , ssl started it lol ...

Code works on everyplugin, so you can get a single plugin for $16.89

I was able to get Mercury from Horizon much cheaper than that. I would wait. And check with Koby over at everyplugin.com he got the best dealsw for me on my Waves upgrades. @Fleer I know Larry is making a joke, but you would get all the stuff in Gold WUP'd for just what.... $13?!!! No-Brainer right there!

BUT...you get FRESH, BRAND SPANKIN' NEW, WUP!

With all three codes my upgrade to Gold + Renn is still $13 for two measly unwelcome plugins. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

Now it' getting interesting for me. With all 3 Coupons I can get the Horizon Upgrade for $89. I have a lot of individual plugins.

Actually still there. Thank you, Larsy, over and over again.

Just received this email:- Surprise gift inside – 24 hours only It’s been a rough year for many of us trying to make ends meet during a pandemic. We’re a company full of musicians and audio engineers – we know what it’s like to feel the pinch around the holidays. That’s why we decided to bring back Black Friday and let you go CRAZY. Here’s the plan: For the next 24 HOURS ONLY, you can get ANY* plugin at Waves.com for only $19.99 (!) – and when you spend at least $50 you’ll also receive free plugins. How it works: 1.Use the personal 24-hour coupon below to slash an EXTRA $10 off any purchase of plugins, bundles or upgrades*. 2.Combine it with our current Black Friday Strikes Back FREE PLUGIN BONUS: •Spend $50 get 1 FREE plugin •Spend $90 get 2 FREE plugins •Spend $120 get 3 FREE plugins You can choose your free plugins from this massive list. It’s as simple as that – hurry up and take advantage while you can! Use code during checkout.

Despite being able to apply 3 different coupon codes to one order, and a price tag of just $16.99, I'm not going to buy anything. I have everything I need/want from Waves. My god, I think my GAS is gone -- it's a miracle!

Just checked with Koby at EveryPlugin. Don’t forget asking him for a better price. He can move mountains.

@Grem is right. The GTR Bundle that comes with Gold is the complete one. I use it quite frequently especially as the interface is really easy to use. As a bonus try browsing through the many presets. They have some really good ones. +1

Apparently we don't get anything this month. The previous offer Expired on the 16th of December, and there is no new offer... Asi es la vida!

Ha! So I'm not the only one who describes himself this way!? 😜

Yes I do. And to be honest, it's been a while since I took it out. Not because I didn't like it, just not doing much playing lately. When I did play around with it I was happy with it and for the money I spent on it (got it with the Gold Bundle) I thought it was fantastic. I remember saying that I thought it was an under-rated amp sim. No one talks much about it at all. But it can hold it's own with just about anything out there. If you can get it for $16, grab it. For that price it's value is hard to beat.

Did you step in it?

Studio One is $9.95 on the Presonus Site ( for registered owners of the original book) https://shop.presonus.com/Craig-Anderton-The-Huge-Book-of-Studio-One-Tips-and-Tricks-for-owners-of-the-Big-Book-of-Studio-One-Tips-and-Tricks

$19.99 is the new $29.99? This is a new email. I just got it about an hour ago.

Wow, I haven’t bought a waves plug-in in years as hate the installer and activation but I’m all in at this price 😅 just picked up OVox, sweeet

Thanks! - I think we posted at exactly the same time there. FWIW my recipe is exactly the same as yours. It was just missing a notification after auto-opening the destination folder.

As far as I can tell, drag a track into a pre-existing folder that already has other tracks within it ( already has the + icon showing ) The folder then expands as the new track is deposited but the + icon remains - clicking it once returns it to a minus icon which can then be clicked as normal

Useful is like third on my list as criteria with free being at top hahah. Haven’t tried either but Fuse Audio Lab makes good stuff. For those curious, deal (which expired but you may still catch for lil bit longer) includes two free plugins normally sold for $49 each.

Most disappointing clickbait thread title of the month. I was hoping for something useful when I saw the thread title. Sad.

Damn, did it expire already? Me lazy!

Yes, got to agree with all of this Simon. My main point to Kurre was to try installing the demo through Jamstix Manager if he hasn't tried that already and see if that works any better. One point is that Jamstix does seem to scale a bit better on my Ultrawide monitor; which is my main gripe with EZDrummer (and EZKeys). UI Scaling is a long overdue addition. Agree that 3D drums was not top of my wish list (actually wasn't even on the wish list). At the end of the day, I see it as another drum option which I would rather have than be without (especially when bought at the sale prices). I also wish the dev would "get back on board" with the development. A decent development plan based on customer requests would be a start.

No worries...your post has all of the new deals together...so it's all good!

If you believe that grounding plug does anything useful, perhaps you'd be interested in buying a DVD rewinder.

It's an old advertising tag line, "Pepperidge Farms Remembers". The implication being that their products are made in some long-forgotten old-fashioned manner, It has become a joke and a meme punchline, because Pepperidge Farms is actually a factory in Connecticut.
