Is the Musio version of Keyboard in Blue different from the old Kontakt library? I have the old version and think it's great - def not a one trick pony - so am wondering if the Musio offering is missing some of those features.

The logistics of them recalling keys sold by various 3rd party sellers & partners is kinda insane. They'd bonk everyone over. I seriously doubt they'd do it.
If anything, UAD have a reputation for honouring glitches.

Any thoughts on Harrison?
I know it's still not fully clear whether our existing Cakewalk installs will work indefinitely, or what it might cost to keep using the new, supported version, and I'm looking ahead.
$80 for a perpetual DAW license is quite appealing - but at this price, Harrison, Reaper, and Presonus' Studio 1 artist are all in that $80-100 range. I like the look of Harrison's workflow, but recall that it was less stable for some users who run virtual instruments (which I do).

I'm new to this developer, but got pointed to them because I couldn't find the basic sweeps and swirls I was after for some jazz ballad stuff (think Tony Bennett's The way you look tonight). Along the way I got StraightAheadSamples brushes, FluffyAudio brushes, VSL jazz drums, Soniccouture's Moonkits, and Toontrack Decades (which also required upgrading to SD3).
I really wish I'd found Borsta first! Seriously, this may be the best $30 you can spend on a library.
They even do very functional demos! Huzzah for Klevgrand!

Absolutely not. I got that crossgrade in a $45 glitch a year ago and there wasn't a single time I picked it over BFD. There's just no reason to unless you're specifically looking for a more unrealistic / drum sampler-ish sound. I have actually uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago to make room for more BFD extensions.
Thank you for talking me down!
I listened to the audio demos earlier and struggled to imagine a time I'd want to use it instead of the EZDrummer/Superior Drummer sounds. I got Moonkits because I wanted brushes, but really missed the large midi library and user friendliness.

Sun Drums 49$ to moonkits owner is affordable.
This low price is first time?
I don't think I've seen that crossgrade so low before. I'm trying to decide whether to go in the other direction (moonkits to sun). I like the sound, but I've just bought SD3 and a pair of expansions...so do I need this?

Good to see the Tina Guo and Taylor Davis libraries back to $49!

I only found Cory's videos through this forum. I think I would have liked him. I hope he's at peace.

I wonder if this pricing means that BFD4's release is imminent.
I don't think so. BFD3 has been offered for $49 pretty regularly for the last 2-3 years.
I also hope not, because if they make the GUI one I can get my head around in BFD4, I might regret upgrading to SD3!

Seems like Komplete 15/16 is getting more appealing 🙂

Blimey, there's a lot there for $300! The new Sound City plugin looks like it'll be an Ocean Way Studios on steroids!

Capitol Chambers reverb's gone native as well!

Vernon, I took organ (piano and drum) lessons as a kid, but I have tendinitis and play terribly in my old age. But still, considering the deal on the IK Hammond B-3-X at JRR Shop and the "GROUP" discount brings it to only $33.59 USD, and your testimonial in this thread I think is breaking down my defenses. That price is too good to pass up.
The IK is top notch, PC - don't pass it up. It's also worth keeping an eye on UAD's sales - I picked up their waterfall organ for $24, and it's fantastic. I can't say whether it's 'better' than the IK, but I find the presets a better starting point.

Musical Sampling do really good stuff. I have several instruments from their Atelier series (trumpet, sax, and clarinet) and they're all excellent. Great sound, and very intuitive - just noodle away on a keyboard and the scripting does the rest. Especially at the intro prices, they're no brainers if they cover ground you don't have covered elsewhere.

Thanks Marc!
I bought a few of those tone junkie packs but couldn't load them in the free CS version as I had already used my 20 spots!

Boo for not being able to use jam points!

I've never been disappointed with a Relab product, but I've told myself that the only EQ I'll let myself buy is Kirchoff!

Requires having five paid plugins or a heritage edition Apollo product.
UAD rep at their community forum seems unsure where it's 'meant' to be running or is an error, but people are getting their codes!

@Peter - IK Multimedia Does the IK online shop ship all over the world? This looks like my cheapest ticket to ToneX SE.
I'm asking because I can't seem to update my address with IK to my non-USA country of residence.

So... Is this a better deal than those $14 plugins you were all buying a while ago? Should I dip my toes in the UAD ecosystem?
It's a better deal if it gives you what you want or need 🙂
If you're already overflowing with Pultecs and LA-2As, it might not be for you, but it's hard to argue with the price. Both those emulations are really good, the Century channel gets overlooked as a vocal strip (lots of nice tube colour + really simple operation), and the oxide/plate reverb are cut-down versions of excellent sounding plugins (Studer / EMT140).
I can't see you getting a better entry point into the UAD world, and as all these are native, why not give 'em a whirl? With a bit of luck, they'll start porting the other reverbs over to native soon and then you'll be really spoiled!

Can you use the ToneX packs with the free version, or do you need a paid one for it to work?

Is it worth getting Kuassa amps if I already have bx_rockrack, Guitar Rig 6 Pro, AmpliTube 5 MAX and Bias FX 2 Standard?
Better quality? Different features?
I'd definitely get the Lancaster.

Straight Ahead Samples [NEW RELEASES] Tuba + Guitar!
in Deals
Posted
The demo for the archtop has just gone up - and it sounds amazing!
https://www.straightaheadsamples.com/jb145
Honestly, I think the tuba sounds dreadful, but then there aren't many places I can imagine needing one.
Sadly, this developer isn't known for great BF sales, but I have my eye on the flugelhorn...
