Not at all trying to talk this one down because it sounds really good, but I'm a little confused: a sketchpad to me sounds like something fairly comprehensive but lightweight, so someone can put down ideas quickly without worrying about library loading times; that said, 26 GB seems like quite a large library.

That would be two steps already 🙂

Probably because the word Reamp is a little like ReValver

Doing so would either augment, or diminish it.

I have to admit that I don't really know what type of material the LA3 is best suited for. Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me?

I love my Faderport 8, but then again I've not used another control surface so I have nothing to compare against.

Nothing when you're the king of the world, right?... right?...

As great as some of those plugins are, I would rather pay $39.99 for one and use it forever* rather than have nothing after two months. *barring technical reasons, e.g. OS compatibility, etc.

Looks like a good deal; not as good as during the pre-subscription era, but heading in the right direction.

Thanks. I'm just an avid hobbyist that's developed a really bad case of GAS. I hadn't really looked into mastering with T-Racks before and I didn't know if there was some kind of must-have feature I was missing out on... that, and the temptation of a 'shiny new toy'.

You could try renaming that folder and see if causes any problems when you open up some projects. That way it's easy to restore if you need to. I was thinking about doing the same at some point; If you give it a go, let us know how it turns out.

You could always try creating a symbolic link https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

Was confused as I couldn't find it on Overloud's own website; I love their GEM plugins. Also keep in mind that they occasionally have intro/one-week-special offers, which you can use the 20% code in addition to.

This might be a loaded question, but is there a good reason to get the mastering stuff if I have Ozone Advanced?

I thought it was just me that was getting sick of all of the different ways to subscribe. Instead of offering plugins by one manufacturer, it would make more sense to me to offer subscriptions based on different work flows (e.g. mastering/mixing) or music genres (e.g. rap/EDM). Regardless of bundle combination though, I don't think I'm going to bite. I have a diverse enough collection of plugins and while I still add to it (must learn to control GAS), there has to be a really good reason to do so through a sub.

It might be browser specific. All the counters get stuck for me when I use Edge; they're fine in Chrome.

I'm guessing the faeces hit the fan over spilt milk

There may be components of SVX 1 in MODO Bass, but I can't say for sure. There's an Amp/FX section within MODO Bass where you can choose between a Tube or Solid State amp; you have some EQ controls (i.e. bass/mid/treble), but that's it. You don't get SVX 1 as a product that you can use in Amplitube. You can use the two in conjunction though: you turn up the DI and turn down the AMP gain from within MODO Bass, and you can chain any amp sim you like after MODO Bass. Edit: you get some pedal effects within MODO Bass too. Not sure what they're based off.

From the SVX2 website:

Seeing as there have been mentions of the Brian May pack: According to Queen, yes... (Sorry for the bad joke...)

Music with guitars is inherently worse than music without guitars. Guitars are shit instruments, theres not a sound you can make with a guitar that you can't make on FL studio (3) is grammatically incorrect, and does not really support the assertion made in (2). There is some truth to (3): a wide variety of guitar sample packs are available. The combination of (2) and (3) do not really support (1). Assuming (3) is true, it invalidates (1); the music will sound the same with and without guitars.

If you never upload anything (or even if you do), I guess you might not need Expose. If you ever want to target a specific distribution platform, it might be useful. All in all, what you do is up to you 🙂

From watching the video for Expose, it shows you if there are any problems when targeting a specific site, e.g. SoundCloud. If you have Ozone/T-Racks, you'll have various meters to give you readouts for your music, e.g. maybe you want to target -14db LUFS; maybe you want to fit the curve within Tonal Balance. I'm guessing Expose will tell you if -14db LUFS is right for SoundCloud/Spotify/YouTube/(other). If there's an offer you like the look of on Plugin Boutique, I'd say it doesn't hurt to get a license for Expose. Even if you don't want to use/install it, you might some day. Or you might even get a cross-grade/upgrade deal one day for another of their products.

Interesting how their flash deals have gone from $29/plugin to $69/plugin

Bargain! I wonder if I can pay in Monopoly money?
