e-cue

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.

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.

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.

How dare you.

Buy 2 Korg Volca, get one free! So... where's the best deal to be found here?

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.

that's the rule. I'm pretty sure PMC speakers will go on sale since I just bought another pair.

Kinda orange crayons to apple sauce here. This is tape emu (and other) from a Mellotron, and intentionally more of the lofi vibe.

Click for farts.

To be clear, this 'feature' gives you the option to disable the protection that exists.

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.

"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....

I suppose the reamping feature is the coolest part of this to me.

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.

yes. yes. This is $29. Think of it like a plug in with a kick ***** bonus. Sell or gift if you don't want the clutter. I got several just for gifts. Hell- a buddy of mine uses it just for the meter (sends into it but doesn't send the output anywhere). The reverb itself- I think it's slightly underated. I think of them on the bright side out the gate. Adding modulation is something I tend to always do. I don't think I've even liked the spring reverb in it. Note: it's also this price on Ebay if you have Ebay bucks to spend.

Wondering if there's any type of upgrade path from the old versions. I literally own every MF pedal and will plunk down the buckfiddy if I have to, but might dragass a little to see if something comes up.

One of my favorite plug ins to be released this (fiscal) year.

I didn't know they left.

Expired. Sorry.

Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Studio XLR Microphone $59 Bang for the buck and all that. Cheapest I've seen in a while.

Exactly what a russian bot would say. Nice try, Putin!

This is one of my favorite plug ins. I don't know if Softtube did something different when they made this one, but it stands out to me, even compared to the other Chandler stuff. The sidechain is a way more dramatic control than you'd expect. Insanely good on live drums. Too much feedback can make things sound cluttered here. Zener hard is great for solid bass compression. I highly recommend demoing this before the sale runs out unless you are banking on a Black Friday sale.
