  1. The Amek does allow this.
  2. 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.
  3. #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.
  4. 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....
  5. Link to beatlab: Beat Lab Comes out to $62.23.
  6. I'll play. Reverb: Seventh Heaven Pro. Honorable mention, Altiverb. Track Compressor: Arouser. Bus Compressor: Magnum K. Multiband Compressor: FabFilter Pro-Q 3 (with dynamic settings engaged). Precision EQ: Metric Halo Sontec. HM: SPL PQ. Character EQ: Hammer DSP. HM: Maag Eq4 (for the Air band... not sure if this counts) Delay: Echofarm. Don't care, I like it. HM: Echoboy. Chorus: UAD Dimension D (the best for bass width). HM's: TC Stereo Chorus Flanger, UAD Dytronics TriChorus (stupid good on E Pianos). Pitch Shifter: Serato Pitch N Time. Basic Filter: Soundtoys FilterFreak2. Glitcher/Stutterer: Stutter Edit 2 Limiter: Massey L2007. Stereo Imager: Mathew Lane's Dr. Ms. Amp sim: Line 6 Helix Native. Vocoder: Izotope VocalSynth. Saturation: Softube Overstayer. HM: Phil's Cascade. Restoration: I'd say, Izotope suite because it depends on the type of restoring, but since we are limited to one, I'd say DeClipper. I fix bad edits with this all the time and the oddball lip smack (which I use the vocal version for but the regular version can do wonders here as well). Clipper: Massey Golden Master. Bonus round. As time goes on, you are allowed to expand with utilities and combos: Utility: VocAlign Ultra. HM: Source Element's Source Connect. Multieffect: Output Portal. All-in-one Mastering: DMG Limitless Channel Strip: PA SSL 9k. HM: Lindell Audio API or Neve.
  7. I just got the Hitsville stuff with a free upgrade, so I have no opinion on them yet. My favs or ones you should definitely demo are: TubeTech CL1b AMS DMX AMS RMX Capitol Chambers Lexicon 480L Lexicon 224 Ams Neve DFC Dytronics Cylopanner Dytronics Tri-Stereo Chorus Oxford Envolution AKG BX20 Massenburg Designworks EQ Maag EQ4 Ocean Way Studios Room Modeler Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Little Labs VOG Little Labs IBP EMT250 Sound Machine Wood Works Some of these are available in different formats, PA offerings, Softube, etc. so that should be taken into account. Some may or may not sound different. There's also a question of if you partake in using UAD hardware for modeling.
  8. That Sontec is crazy good. Pricey, no doubt. I have four Sontec channels in my rack, and ended up getting the plug in. With that and the SPL PQ, my cup runneth over this year. Smart move by MH, imho.

    Gone again!

    How dare you.
  10. Buy 2 Korg Volca, get one free! So... where's the best deal to be found here?
  11. In case no one knows or has caught on from this thread... You can steal this off their site. For really reals. I've bought a ton of their merch to hopefully offset my greed. Bonus points: When someone asks you "what band is that?" when wearing one of the shirts, you can lie and say "Oh, this? This is my side project band with [enter industrial music/punk rock band lead singer here]." and make up any cool band name you can think of.

    WD 4 TB SSD

    that's the rule. I'm pretty sure PMC speakers will go on sale since I just bought another pair.
  13. Kinda orange crayons to apple sauce here. This is tape emu (and other) from a Mellotron, and intentionally more of the lofi vibe.
  14. To be clear, this 'feature' gives you the option to disable the protection that exists.
  15. Got it. Cons: No ability to choose the key of the song(?!), (???!!!!!). Cheaper options out there that offer better customization, though this promo seems to offer lifetime updates. Requires a wrapper for use in Pro Tools. Gui doesn't resize (impossible to read text for me inside the wrapper). Pros: Actually comes up with some decent stuff very quickly. Good for beginners that know dickall about music, or maybe a seasoned musician dealing with writer's block or just wanting to peek over the piss guard to come up with a load of different ideas very quickly. Wrap up: if this was the first of its kind, we'd be into it. I'd recommend Captain Chords over this.
  16. "not a deal". I too will check for a Black Friday sale. In 2033... If crypto takes off again.... And I start a wildly successful onlyfans page for audio gear... And win the super lotto.... twice.... scratch that... three times....
  17. I suppose the reamping feature is the coolest part of this to me.
  18. Nice price. I got an open box one for that. I was interested it in for the UAD control but I had a client that used it a lot so I wanted it on deck for the mixes we lined up so that convinced me to get one. I HATED it when I 1st got it. But they came up with some updates, and now it's pretty dang cool too have all my Softube channel strips customized with my fav Chandler/Weiss/SSL/Tubetech/Empirical/etc however I want. My 2 main gripes: hard to read- the LEDs are tiny, so you need good light on it to work with it. It doesn't work with Modular- I know this one would be tricky due to the layout, but SOME usage would be helpful.
