BUMP 

2.72 is out

a little odd so long after release but the Music City expansion just got an update - to both midi and sounds

The sounds expansion update is quite large at about 1gig - can't find release notes though ?

Think it's been about 12 years since release.

EDIT just found this in some deleted release notes for SD 3.3.4/5

"The presets in Music City USA SDX aren't showing in the preset menu. That will be fixed in a sound library update to that SDX soon"

Unify is, of course, a different application which has different uses. I like it,but not for me at present.

absolutely - what I meant is that it's similar, in that it's a small developer doing something a bit different, and it's reasonably priced.

The way the UI habitually crashes when using it in Cakewalk.

have you put a support ticket in ?

my take on the reasons for buying Scaler is a bit different......

We (mostly!) spend lots of money on different sample sets - 101 virtual pianos - 1001 different compressor plugins - 2001 different softsynths.  The same big companies putting out more and more of the same old stuff.  In most cases, zero innovation. 

Scaler is doing something different and providing a useful and interesting composition tool.

It's a small developer - providing frequent updates - and doing something differently - and (in the UK) only £39.  What's not to like ?

If you can afford it then I can't see a decent reason not to buy it

(FWIW you could substitute UNIFY for scaler and the same would be true)

puny discount

And of course you can't use the $25 dollar voucher either.

I'm waiting for the 50% off which I think we'll see next year.

OK, apologies for misinterpreting the joke. 

humour doesn't always translate very well on internet forums - rest assured scalar is well loved on this forum

...I don't think so. <SNIP>  this doesn't sound like abandonware to me. 

Roger, I think Reid may have been joking  (edit - nick beat me to it !)

Interesting the serials you got for another product...haha

well they might not be for another product - but they are the same ones that I got for something else ...and they don't work for +10db !

I'd drop Boz an email - it's fairly clear the upgrade system is a bit broken - I'm sure he'll sort out the upgrade for you.

And their servers haven't crashed? 

I know ! - it's a (pre-) Christmas miracle

did you click the link in the FAQ that adds it to your cart ?  Not sure if it's the same as the standard 'add to cart' on the plugin page ?

I couldn't activate the plugin with these serials... 🙃

yes - the serials I got for V2 don't work - one of them is actually a serial for another product I already had from Boz

looks like a general clusterf*ck  - I'm sure it will get sorted soon,

 bump as it's now live

I sorted this out  for those seeing the $10 update price when you already have V1 of the bundle

there is something on the FAQ about 'missing plugins' - even though all the plugins showed in my account

https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/faqs/

first FAQ

Add the +10db bundle V1 to your basket by clicking that link >>>>> cost $0.00 >>> then checkout

now your account is 'fixed' you see $0.00 for the upgrade to V2 

yes - be interested to see what happens

I always have my downloads set to direct ,so I'm hoping to sidestep any potential problem mentioned in that forum post ?

the upgrade to +10db Compressor from V1 to V2 is £79.96 at pluginboutique (same for the EQ)

buying +10db Compressor new, without the upgrade, is £22.96

all a bit of a mess at the moment

I own quite a few plugins including +10db bundle v1 

$10 for me to upgrade

has anyone emailed Boz for clarification ? - no point in everyone doing it

As Brian says, that post is from 2020

Virustotal is showing that site as clean now ?

By default the UVI portal uses the 'torrent' protocol so maybe this flagged a problem - FWIW you can turn the 'torrent' off in the Portal settings

EDIT

Virustotal's report of 'clean' is actually from 2019 - can't seem to find a way to rescan ?

EDIT 2 - found the rescan

came up clean apart from one scanner - assume false positive

EDIT -3

tried doing the check in quttera (the one that returned the positive) - it's insisting there is malware (on 14 files ?)

One more example of the greatness of this forum. Eventide (and many other devs) somehow are incapable of informing their customers of updates.

yes - I really like Eventide but I totally agree - They are happy to email me about every sale and new product but don't bother with software updates.

bump as it's updated to 1.1.7

1.1.7
Added resizable UIs for Tverb, UltraReverb, Octavox, and Quadravox
Improved metering cpu performance for SplitEQ and Physion Mk II

When SoundTheory's Gullfoss came up with different versions they just added them to the bundle.  Sonible should take note. 

Lots of companies even give away the 'lite' versions to everyone for free to entice you to upgrade to the 'full' version

On a positive note at least it saved me the the trouble of downloading and installing it

Now the question is: if I plan to get smart:limit, do I still need this?

personally I think this should be a freebie for Smart:limit users  - not sure that asking us to pay for it is justified.

I am owner of Pigments 3 and I see this information, is normal?

possibly if you want to buy it again ?

but should be a FREE download in the Arturia software center as you own V3

The good news is that works in K 7 Player

the bad news is that you have to install K 7 Player just for some free sleigh bells

The mics are there; the problem is the actual search engine. For example, you need to search for C 12, U 47 Fet, U 67, etc. The entries themselves, for at least for the ones I looked at, were not just  manufacturers blurbs. 

It does look like the recordinghacks site does have way more information though, including frequency response and links to the manufactures' websites. The site itself is butt ugly but that is just my opinion.

You're right, the search engine isn't really working effectively.

Taking "U 67" as an example - it leads to a page with some information (not as comprehensive as recordinghacks) - then asks you to click for "Micpedia’s article on the U 67".    This gives you a 404-error - although the URL it sends you to is a link to the U67 reissue, which isn't actually the same mic.

I do agree that recordinghacks looks a bit "web 1.0" but that new (?) site puts all the text in a small scrolling window, so that it may look prettier but isn't nearly as user-friendly 

(rant over !)

it's terrible - let's try the most famous mics of all time:

a search for C12 just comes with some random modern clones
search for U47 comes up with the modern TF clone
a search for U47 Fet points to the OPR clone
a search for U67 comes up blank

try a more modern classic - Royer r121 - no result  - you need to search for R-121 - not Royer or R121

the links themselves are just the manufacturers blurb (EXACT reproduction of a V14 etc ) 

It's just a weak excuse to try to sell you some product

much better is:
