It’s a subscription.  Those things at the end are the strings attached.

I already play AmpSim City way too much.

The quality of both the presets and the processors are better with the PSP strip. You will use it. 

Plus, I can actually read the numbers on the PSP modules.  Mixbox is a mixed bag.

Just threw a couple of presets on a drum buss and I was off to EveryPlugin to plonk me money down. 

Deal over?  ☹️

What does everyone think of this library?

Kidding.

And this is exactly the B3's appeal. For many years when I was younger I thought the Deep Purple sound was the distorted guitar sound. Then I realized all that time it was the B3 that Jon Lord was playing having that sound, not the guitar. 

Monomix doing the same with a new genre of music.

If you limit the B3 because it has a 70's sound to it, then you really limit yourself. 

One of my favorite bands of all time is Opeth, who feature a B3 on a number of songs and albums.  Oboe, too.  Who’d a thunk death metal could be so refined?  

Where does one find or receive their downloads?

There is no need to have 10 tape emulations. 14 reverbs and 8 LA-2A emulations.

I agree with you on everything except the reverbs.  And I have no excuses. 

For everything else, yes, I've slowed down but am taking a more tactical approach and actually thinking of use cases before buying vs. collecting.  This is the first year in a while I haven't upgraded to Komplete Ultimate or CE.  I was talking myself into it based on the Stresov choir and Playbox.  Then I realized I have FOUR choirs from 8Dio that I haven't used and LCO Contemporary Orchestra that does a lot of what the new NI multi-layer instruments do.  And Playbox - it was intriguing as a fire starter.  BOOM!  Got Playbox and a bunch of PA plugins for a little more than a tenner a couple of days ago.  I'm good for a while.

Now I just need to learn how to use all of this stuff properly!

WORD!

I thought about loading 5 tuners and the Music Essentials bundle for $8 but opted to look more authentic.

To my surprise, Plugin Alliance loyalty voucher works  with this bundle !

Yep.  Is Playbox worth the $24?  Anyone use it/have it?

I'm on Riffer 3.1.2

I just heard back from Ralph—just as helpful as ever, manning every desk in the shop.  I did ask if anything was on the horizon but haven’t heard back.  It was only an hour ago.

I find it hard to get my head around it at times but that’s me bichin’ about the interface more than anything.  The guy that did a multi-part in-depth YouTube series on Jamstix 4 was WAY too deep, and there’s not much else in terms of tutorials.

Nothing confusing about "That’s not how it works," though. 

Totally confusing unless you happen to have an answer.  Please provide the thread name or search term.

I just emailed Ray for help with a missing password.  I'll post an update if/when I hear back.

Too true.  People think they need the latest doodad in order to be productive.
If I'm honest with myself  - I was more productive (i.e. finishing more songs) when I had less tools.  But still, shiny toys are addictive...

Negative from me is I think ToneboosterEQ4 looks better.  I don't like how small everything is on the Kirchoff.

Tonebooster EQ4 has some pretty impressive features, too.  All right around our sweet spot of 29 buckaroos.  I have a bunch of their plugins and both this and the reverb are excellent.  Great value, the lot.

Hmm...you need to purchase a library to get it though right?

Yes, but if you got Essentials and something like the Friedman Naked library, you could go a loooong way.  That expansion is killer.

TH-U will always have a spot in projects here - the sounds are good/great, the layout is simple, it's extremely flexible, and that CPU usage is barely noticeable.  There's really not a lot it can't do.  If Helix had the interface of TH-U, I would stop looking for amp sims now.  As it is, Helix provides great tones but is uninspiring to me.  TH-U is so easy to pull on a track and do 90 of what Helix does, with a fraction of the CPU.  At half off, it's a pretty good deal.  Plus you get Supercabinet and the ability to use Rig Models.  I quit the Rig Model rabbit hole because it was getting ridiculous and I couldn't trial the rigs, which would cut down on the ones I didn't end up liking.

I finally installed latest version, man, the Studio view and added amps is/are awesome.

I was waiting for them to add any Mesa Boogie, and to my surprise they added a Dual Recto.

For FREE (Marshall Suite is awesome yoo, free too if you have certain Marshall ones already).

I hope they add to the Parametric EQ *also new*, the ability to change Q rating using a modifier key (let's say ALT or Shift or Control).

Yeah, this update was a biggie.  Major cab update (!), a new amp head, etc.  I love this thing even if it hogs the covers.

Relay can also be used as a quick dynamic track spacer to let the vocal poke through. Even if you are not using Nectar or Neutron as your effect chain.

• I use whatever plugin in my vocal effect chain I like
• I put an instance of relay on whatever instrument track or bus, I want to attenuate when the vocal is present
• I put Nectar last on the vocal track and run the unmask assistant with the target relay instance I have. There can be more than one and you simply run the assitant as many times as needed for all the instances of relay you have.
• Then I remove Nectar.
• Next, you create sends from the vocal track, or bus, to each of the relay's sidechain input.
• Switch all relays to sidechan and dynamic.
• You can also tweak the relays compression to your liking.

You can even do the same between kick and bass guitar to duck the bass on kick hits. Nectar is easiest to setup but with little control. Neutron can be used in a similar way for more precise control since it as more functionnality to carve the overlapping  frequencies, but it's more work.

Damn.  I thought you were gonna say "you push this little button thingy and then its done."

Same thing here, crashes CbB & Studio One 6 instantly when trying to load the legacy presets.

Working great in S1 here but it definitely is CPU hungry.  I print to tracks pretty early on so I’m not tempted to make the track perfect, and it’s no longer an issue once that’s done.
