I'm such a console noob - I'd seen and been using the S-Type/N-Type/A-Type Console Emulation buttons, and E-Type/G-Type EQ buttons for ages, but hadn't made the connection 🤣 Thanks for the advice - I'll still need to properly try out the PA modules (as suggested), but at least I have a better idea of what I'm looking at now.

I picked this one up with one of their $29.99-for-any-plugin vouchers previously, and am thinking about maybe picking up some of the other consoles at some point in the future. Sorry for the naïve question, but is there a general rule of thumb for when it's best to use the Neve (bx_console N), SSL 4000 E, SSL 4000 G, or even the newer SSL 9000 J? Are any of them better suited to any particular genre?

I agree - how would anyone know whether or not a product is suitable without an audio demo? Putting quality aside, it's difficult to know whether an instrument will even 'fit' with a song without being able to hear it.

Hold on to the questionable files for a month or two, and then scan again - the fool will either have been shown to be right (the others will also indicate the same result), or will have changed its mind. It doesn't even look like those three engines in the screenshot agree it's the same malware.

Love how it doesn't even provide audio samples on its own website...

I might be tempted to pick something up in this (depending on what other sales tug on my wallet). Would an existing Melda customer be kind enough to share their referral/discount code? (If there are many, I'll pick one at random)

Sorry for the slightly dumb question: I have AAS Player installed, and have a fairly large NKS folder inside it. If I don't use the NKS features on my hardware, am I free to just delete the NKS folder?

I had a listen to the demos and they do sound really impressive. However, I can't help but think that Lucy reminds me of GLaDOS from Portal

They got bought by Google: the company that said 'we are not building a browser', and then said 'here's something we come up with' to Chrome; the company that said 'we are not building an OS' and then showed off the Chrombook...

Just to mention: if you buy three products, you get an additional 10% off

Far pricier, but have you checked out the SWAM flutes? https://audiomodeling.com/swam-engine/solo-woodwinds/swam-flutes/

Has anyone used NeoVerb? Would be interested to know how it compares with the Exponential Audio ones.

Slight word of warning on Glitchmachines' plugins: some of their older ones have really tiny UIs. Can't remember the name of the one I'm thinking of, but some of the text is barely readable on my 1920x1200 monitor and might not be usable on a 4k monitor without scaling. Really fun/creative stuff though.

I'm hoping for an instrument pack sale...

Keyscape, Pianoteq, or both?

Time+Space are currently selling Omnisphere 2 for £337.96, but that also includes Ian Boddy Dark Ambience Patches Collection and Zero-G Celtic Atmospheres preset packs thrown in too. Not sure if the sound packs are a time-limited offer.

You might really like this one...

Great video Reid - I especially liked your analysis on the lyrics. I take it you don't like strats? 😁

Can someone recommend a console plugin that would be good for modern orchestral/cinematic stuff? I'd like to be able to emphasise soaring highs, but I don't need it to be aggressive, if that makes sense.

I think these sound great - I can never quite get myself to buy guitar loop instruments though; rightly or wrongly, there's a nagging feeling that there's an element of inflexibility with loops that might hold me back in some way. That said, I'm not a good enough guitarist to play this type of material myself.

Could be wrong, but I think that's the default location for VST plugins (though VST2s can be put anywhere). I've replaced that folder with a symlink that points to another drive where all my plugins actually go.

PA vouchers expiring before the end of the month? Must be a sale starting tomorrow...

Video's not there for me... Any chance you could say which game it's for?

Their site looks ok to me - is this the one you were looking at? https://audiomodeling.com/
