Got it. I'd probably wait for a big sale for Convology XT Complete. I got it for $100. There's a ton of great IRs in there (it excludes the True Stereo or Real Spaces Libraries). My biggest gripe is the lack of ability to search the IR's. This seems like a very serious feature to lack for the amount of impulse responses. Feel free to email the company and ask them to add this feature. While I much prefer Altiverb and ReMatrix, there's a great deal of value in this one. The plug in is free, and comes with a lot of stuff to get your started. Run that as a demo and see if it works for you.

I'm doing a project this week that involves a bit of experimentation involving midi to cv to branch into the world of eurorack modules. This seemed like it had a good amount of variety for what we are doing so I copped it. The entire download is 7.7GB. This includes any 'bonus' material. The construction kits will be helpful for what I've got going on, but John's wav comment is totally valid (especially with the folders that include a demo song bounced in both wav and mp3). Durr. Here's an example of the spilt sizewise between wav and midi: 35 midi files. 35 wav files. I suppose I'll use the wavs for auditioning. I should note this package comes with a $25 giftcard (purchase $25 and up) you can apply on the newnation site. I can safely state that this collection is not a "$1,224.00 Value".

just a reminder... Zo puts out some great content here available for free. Take the time to shoot some youtube likes his way.

I ran the Mercury installer (did the update in central). Mercury showing "installed" and activated. Not showing up in PT, but I do see Lil Tube and BB Tubes. Had to go to the Waves site, login, do the "get latest version" to go from 14.0.3 to 14.0.4 in Waves Central. I have WUP. Installed again. Launched PT, missing plug ins. Grrr. Opened central. Tried "Fix permissions and ownership". Launched PT. No dice. Grrrr. Opened central. Tried "repair" this time. Took a while- longer than you'd want with a client in the room. Launched PT. No dice. Grrrrr. Ran Version organizer. At this point, Mercury no longer showed to be installed. I installed that again and it finally showed up in PT. When this kinda stuff happens, you kinda don't want to like the plug in. I think this one sets a record for most 'artist presets' I've seen. Hundreds of them, almost jokingly. I probably recognize 1% of the names. Perhaps they are mostly tiktok influencers. No oversampling I can see. Kinda a hot topic these days, I guess.

Yass.

I own the modules (and spares). Love em. At 48k and 44.1k only. The AutoFlanger is... *chefs kiss*. The AutoPhaser is... There's a low pass filter that rolls off the top end on this plug in that's... wrong. If you automate it on, say, your master fader... you're going to hear an instant filter rolling off your top end. Minus this top end issue, it's great. It's usable in many situations you want a phaser. And perfect at 88.2k and higher. I still bought it.

Atlantis and some of the amp sims are the only Softube stuff I don't own. The Fix Phaser is a good deal. And some you should note that they (like the phaser) work within Modular and Amp Room, if that matters to you. Hail Paul Wolff and all that. But some of these, you may want to pass on if you plan on getting one of their volumes that include stuff. I only find myself using the TubeDelay and SpringReverb within Modular.

Thanks team. Some of these are actually great so don't sleep on them.

neat.

He's a singer. He rides the gravy train.

I'm ess-my-pants excited about this. My biggest beef with API compression has always been how it destroys my low end. I'd always use it in parallel because on this, sometimes with a non-lin eq as a crossover of sorts to make things work. *points stern Techno Viking finger at unprocessed wimpy drums* "I'm comin' for you...."

I don't believe it's a Gates/Collins/Retro unit they modeled. The pic on their site looks like a Fairchild 670 clone (the Analogue Tube version I believe).

The Amek does allow this.

I like the GML, I mean, Amek eq. I also like this GML, I mean, Amek compressor. Bit of a learning curve, just like the 8900, I mean, Amek Mastering Compressor. The detectors really are helpful.

#1. Learn ins and outs of all my modules in my modular rig. Some are straight forward and I already know them. Some (I'm looking at you NerdSeq) are much more involved and I need to make the time to learn them. And some I just use very simplistically. #2. Use said modular rig for even more audio that's actually released and not just some pbr sippin echopark soundcloudonly dorkjerkery. #3. Get a set together with the rig involved. I have something specific in mind. #4. Sell some gear. For really reals. #5. Turn ear-breaks into ear-walk around the blocks for a little bit of exercise. #6. Work less hours this year. I worked very hard and very stupid over extended periods of time in 2022. I'd like to reduce both. I wasn't to blame for most of this. #7. Finalize the home studio updates, including upgrades to my current immersive setup. #8. Alphabetize my vinyl. #9. Talk Fleer into WUP.

I got this a while back for more. I use it often for the classic Juno sweeps a lot. We compared it to the Roland cloud and preferred it. I sent my 106 off for service (voice chip, grrr) and ended up selling it. This will do. The fact it also adds chorus to Amp Room, and a bunch of modules for Modular is a bigger deal to me than most. I use Modular a lot, I just wish it had as many modules available as something like VCV. Now... if Atlantis would go on sale for the same price....
