As Larry said, Midi is unparalleled.  I also think that Cubase has the best support for external hardware of any DAW.

MIDI in Cubase definitely trumps a lot of DAWs. I've also found that the mixer in Cubase has ruined the experience of mixing in other DAWs. It's such a pleasure to mix in, that the others fall short when I compare them.

I love some aspects of Ableton Live for example, but it's falls so short in mixing in comparison. Cubase isn't perfect and from everything I've personal tested, nor are the others, but they do get a lot right in so many ways.

N.B. Not an audio deal, but Affinity is popular on here.

ANNOUNCEMENT
26 March 2024

A message to our amazing Affinity community

Today marks a momentous new chapter in our journey together.

Our CEO Ashley Hewson shares an exciting update: Affinity has joined the Canva family! Together, the two companies will join forces to create a world where design is within everyone’s reach.
I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.

This is a moment of great excitement, anticipation, and profound gratitude for all of you who have been part of our story so far.

We know that those of you who’ve put your faith in Affinity, some since we launched our very first Mac app, will have questions about what this means for the future of our products. Since the inception of Affinity, our mission has been to empower creatives with tools that unleash their full potential, fostering a community where innovation and artistry flourish. We've worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo, delivering professional-grade creative software that is both accessible and affordable.

None of that changes today.

In Canva, we’ve found a kindred spirit who can help us take Affinity to new levels. Their extra resources will mean we can deliver much more, much faster. Beyond that, we can forge new horizons for Affinity products, opening up a world of possibilities which previously would never have been achievable.

Canva’s revolutionary approach to design democratisation and commitment to empowering everyone to create aligns perfectly with our core values and vision. This union is a testament to what can be achieved when two companies that share a common goal of making design accessible and enjoyable for everyone come together.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible Affinity team. Your passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence have been the driving force behind our success so far, and I can’t wait to continue this journey with you all.

To our loyal users and the creative community, your support and feedback have been invaluable. You’ve inspired us to push boundaries and continuously improve, and we’re excited to embark on this new chapter together.

The future is bright, and I am incredibly excited to continue our story together and create a world where design is within everyone's reach.

You helped us start a movement. Today, that movement becomes a revolution.

With heartfelt thanks,

Ashley Hewson
CEO

Cool little plugin. Nice update, although now it's a bit more CPU hungry.

I wonder if DIFIX ever goes on sale.

The original was my intro to United Plugins and I was really pleasantly surprised and it made me pay attention to these guys from then on. Now I've bought quite a few.

It's always been really light on CPU so I hope it's not too noticeable though!

Can't wait to hear the new tape module and will be trying it today.

Love their free updates and better licensing. A great example to other Devs 🙂

Front DAW 3 just released with new modules. Free for existing owners, otherwise intro price.

Special discount 69%

Was: EUR 49

Sale: EUR 15

New in version 3

In FrontDAW version 3, we added two more saturation types: magnetic tape (MG) and clipper (CL). Also, the workflow has been improved. You have access to undo/redo and comparison functions, an easy way to control oversampling, and input/output meters.

Re-introduction discount (or FREE)

We are celebrating the new release of FrontDAW with a re-introduction sale. If you don’t have a license yet, you may get it with a 74% (???) discount (€49→€15)—just until April 15.

It says "all of our plugins" ...it didn't specify "Neold" plugins

Did you get an email, or see it in the PA Facebook group? If it was the PA Facebook group, it was posted by Neold, as opposed to PA themselves, so I would assume it only related to their plugins, not all of them.

Hopefully it's all though 🙂

The updates are for Neold plugins only though aren't they, not all PA?

Got their Integral Pack, but the three I wouldn’t want to miss are Cosmos, Magnetic II, Echoes and 80s Spaces. Most of their plugins got updated last year. 

I just tried out Cosmos and Magnetic II again earlier when you mentioned that and they're both decent. I'd forgotten about them a little while waiting for their VST3 versions which hopefully aren't far away, but at least the updates should be free which is nice.

People complain about WUP but D16 wants upgrades for every product I've purchased from them. And when the products go on sale, the upgrade pricing doesn't. I guess if I'd bought them back in 2016 it might seem fine but since I've only picked them up gradually since 2020 it seems a bit rich. Just my 10c.

D16 is free updates perpetually for minor releases though, whereas this is a major release and without WUP, Waves wouldn't even give you minor updates for free.

D16 provides support indefinitely. Waves will not provide any support without active WUP.

D16 can always be transferred and for free. Waves you can only transfer to someone else if you have active WUP. Not sure if they charge on top of that too.

D16 can be used on multiple machines perpetually. Waves only provides 2 seats at most and you lose the second seat once WUP is inactive, so if you have a DAW and laptopsl for a mobile rig and don't want to constantly move a USB key around, or deactivate on one machine and reactivate on the other one all the time, then you need active WUP.

I would rather free major releases too though from D16. Maybe even just the next version free and then paid for versions after that. Discounted updates would also be great and sounds fair to me.

But when it comes to sucking, Waves and their WUP and archaic ideas cannot be outdone 🤣

Think they may have pulled that temporarily from the store. The link doesn't go to it and searching doesn't find it. Maybe they jumped the gun on the date/time.

Yes, to clarify, I was refering to what would occur if someone uses the Waya tool. 

Got it, that makes sense then. You can also just disable the extension in between when using those things. I occasionally use Honey and Cently extensions which I do somewhat think are trustworthy enough, but I still leave them disabled all the time. Then I just open the cart page with them on in one browser and see if they find any discounts. Then I disable them and check out through another.

Not saying I would recommend leaving Waya installed though.

I didn't spend time looking over all of the data Waya.deals collects, but I did visit their about us page (it doesn't list any names or any location about the company, which is pretty sketchy (although the contact info did show an address), I think the big concern that people should have with this business is trusting them with your very personal financial data, the sites you go to and what you enter at those sites, and then their data security procedures. Because even if you believe this company is legit, if you're giving permission to collect your personal data, they have to store that data and if their data security processes aren't solid and they end up getting hacked, you may find that data on the dark web.  But having tried Muse's libraries in the past, I can say, without question, it's low quality incredibly bloated sample libraries that are not worth the data transfer to your computer. You can do far better with free libraries from respected developers and the best libraries from Pianobook. There's really no need to download this stuff. It's excessively bloated garbage to be really blunt. 

You're not trusting them with your financial data though. You simply clear all your browsing history, install the extension, download the files, uninstall the extension. No financial data is required to download the links. You don't even need to register.

As for Muze quality, I've heard mixed things but don't expect to be wowed. Still, simple enough to download and try in case there is one good one in there.

Dammit.. I just updated them all the other day 🤣

I was about to give it a try, but when I wanted to add the chrome extension, it said this:

"Read and change all your data on all websites"

That's a BIG nope!

It's the same as Bing, Cently, Honey and all the other extensions that check the prices on cart and try all different discount codes automatically to get you the lowest prices.when you're shopping online. That seems to be what Waya is which is pretty common.

That's what every one of them needs to function. Same as password managers, or anything that can fill in any forms.

The only question really is whether you trust them as a company. They're probably fine, but I just did it on a spare computer, cleared all browsing history, installed the extension, downloaded all the files, uninstalled the extension.

Really that just allows you to get to the next step which exposes the links which are all direct downloads.

I did consider posting the direct links for them here, but I thought I might get a strike or ruffle some feathers for doing so 🤣

Phoenix is a dead giveaway that I'm a PT user.  Still- Dave Hill (rest in peace) was one of my fav gear designers and I think he hit a slam dunk with it.  I've used it, literally, on every mix I've done since it came out unless I was in a situation where I didn't have access to it.  It too is pricey.  Dark Essence; Opal- absolutely broke any threshold I had about mixing ITB.  

As for the MAS- I was familiar with the hardware unit so diving into the software version was real easy for me.  

I tend to use both of these for subtle changes that add up within a mix, where the others are like "Okay, I'll add the Kush Neve to my snare and, holy moley- that sounds thick and full now!".  

That is indeed a dead giveaway, but sounds like a great plugin so not a bad thing on this occasion at all.

Makes perfect sense about MAS and some of the Kush ones can be like that! Thanks for all your thoughts on it and the info.

Yes

That made the decision to pass even easier..

No doubt the play will be it's never VST3  and they make everyone buy, or pay to upgrade to BFD4 to get VST3 support knowing InMusic.. 

Is this still only VST2?

I ended up pulling the trigger on "yet another delay".. 🤣

But this one really is pretty cool and a bit different. The video helped me over the line. You might still have a little bit of time to grab it at intro price. Well worth it.

yeah, I just now noticed it said "introductory offer". Oh well, cant use my points then.

They do come back around on sale eventually and then you might be able to.

1 hour ago, Hillmy said:

I can get this cheap with credits on the UP site, but is it worth it or just a gimmick?

I think you can earn credits by buying during intro sales, but not use them for intro.

As for the fire series, some are actually pretty decent. I expect this could be good and will definitely give it a demo.

They are free "light" versions of the products from what I can gather.
The full Aquamarine is 30 GB and the one here is only 2 Gb

Yeah that's my take too Lars.. I don't mind downloading them and at some stage seeing if I like them. I'm not expecting to be impressed, but sometimes I can be surprised.
