I'm not sure what the difference is with 5.2?

I think 5.2 added a couple of reverbs and Guitar Rig Pro 6

As mostly everyone has a splice plan running some or the other time 

The plugin like Astra and Beatmaker are good . Should we consider them as freeware

Absolutely not.   

And to quote Bapu

"installed"

FREE Update from 1.0

https://serato.com/sample

 

I am a little confused by the price- $149 (or $10 sub/month), but free upgrade from 1.0 which I think I paid $39 for (reg $49) a couple years ago.  I am looking for the "gotcha", but so far- Thank You Serato!

 

 

The update is amazing for free. They included stem separation 

My silly self came here wondering why someone would n ed a special mic to record turds?

It's worth it for the price, but agree that installs and interface needs work. I will say that when I do use it, I don't regret the results.

I took Waves plugins out of my templates. I have already been caught flatfooted twice this year when updates killed my installs. I still use Rbass, rvox and others occasionally, but now GAS is becoming a hero. All the Melda, Izotope, Newfangled and IK bundles seem less wasted now.

F___ Waves with that ol bs!  So, people who have spent thousands are not entitled to a second license, but subscribers to the service they keep trying to force on us do?  I will use what I paid for, but will NEVER subscribe to this nonsense. This is pure okie doke.

I read that it crashes a lot. But maybe he's fixed that by now.

Is it any good? Has anyone tried it? How does it compare to bx_masterdesk?

I tried it today.  I have not tried bx_masterdesk. I think the closest equivalent I have is IK Lurrsen Mastering Console, but even that is not apples to apples. I think Ozone has too many extra modules to be a fair comparison.

Super easy to use. I think it gave satisfactory  results for something so instant. Lurrsen gave me a warmer mix, and i preferred it, but that was largely due to coloration Hornet does not have.  For the price, more than worth it

I do concede that if you are already used to one it might be worth it.i can't imagine replacing one for the other

I can't really rationalize buying either, but if did feel the need, Kirchoff seems like a better deal

For the money, it's hard to beat Hornet's Fab knockoff if price is the primary issue.

Slightly different opinions on Kirchoff EQ

 

 

Dan poisoned his own review by making sure to remind us every chance of how biased he was. He downplayed everything that Kirchoff was better at. He did make sone good points, but it was hard to ignore the fact that he made it clear from the beginning what his conclusion was going to be. I love Dan's videos but like all of these guys, he (same goes for Paul) is showing signs that his popularity has swollen his ego to the point where I can only take these guys in doses. Thanks for posting though.

Aaaaah...but this is no normal phaser. Open the box man. Mystery and magic awaits.

I love melda products. I just want nothing from adsr

I just can't do it. Not for a phaser. 

Hats off to the guys that made the demos. So far it sounds absolutely mediocre for me. I will work on it some more

I think i have this. Lol

🤬 Waves. My installations broke again. I'm not paying for another thing from them. 

I just went ahead and bought

I wanted to like this, but it's kinda halfbaked.  The midi it exports is janky. Usable, but in that way that's not that much of a shortcut lol. I will test some more before uninstalling

Wish I had that AKAI MPC keyboard now!

Also, most of my controllers map very well to MPC software. My Arturia and my Alesis control common q control functions like tempo, zoom, bar length, resolution, tempo, timeline position, etc. It's not as tightly integrated for things like sound selection, but maybe a good trade off if you have a better quality keyboard controller.  The free MPC software is limited as a stand alone product, but the limitations are deceptive.  A full kit of multiple layered drums and even sample loops counts as one track. Each sound has individual mixing. One track is really multiple tracks in practice.  For hip-hop, you can do a complete song within it minus vocals.  With that said, I have too many damn samples lol

These can be used in the free software version too.

Studio One. I get an error message when scanning... I remember it happened before. I think it may be a registry thing. Same thing with Amplitube 5 (4 works fine).

Addictive Keys works fine for me in Studio One. Have you tried XLN support?

Finances always play a part, but plugins have also gotten cheaper. I have slowed down because I honestly don't use a quarter of what I have. I kinda regret biting on IK studio max 3 deal recently. It was cheap but I find myself overwhelmed by volume of total redundancy.  How many 1176 emulations do I need? How many pultecs do I need?  What is hundreds of gigs of synth plugs that largely overlap the same synths in my Arturia collection gonna add to me making better music?  Considering I have an Arturia controller that makes finding sounds far easier than the endless void of Sampletank patches with the same name. I'm not bashing IK. I love IK. Their products have served me well over the years and I think they offer a lot of bang ror the buck. This is just an expression of what happens when you realize how useless it was to add a big bundle of IK on top of the glut on my computer. So much that I realized I didn't install the modo drum 1.5 kits before downloads expired...and didn't care. Practicality is driving me far more than finances.

I swear to god it's the same "Industry Review" people saying the same shit on every plugin. And how many frickin' producers does Rihanna have?

Honestly - there needs to be some kind of pillaging of the shameless testimonials in this industry.

These testimonials don't mean $___ anymore. It's ridiculous. I'm sure it's a decent product, but we all have an insane amount of saturation plugins, especially if we count all the plugins that are saturation plugins with  catchy marketing euphemisms like "The Flavorator" or the "Bass Hibachi"
