So how is it I go away for a couple of days and half the posts are "Not a Deal..."?

We were waiting for you to come back!

As in the BFD  InMusic?

Yup.

I just logged off work to have a play with this and I have to say....it's really good.  I love the cab updates - a ton more flexibility and more variety.  The new amps are excellent as well - more options, and good ones to boot.   Presets?  Yeah, they took some time with these new ones.  

I've used Helix Native as my main amp sim for a long time now but still struggle with the layout.  There's little joy in tinkering if you like to look at what the simulation is based on.  It's just not my cup of tea but it sounds great for my purposes.  With this update (and with the prior Amproom experience) it's just a joy to see the hardware so beautifully rendered.   And the sounds are top-notch, to boot.  I don' t make decisions based only on looks and sound, but on workflow, too.   Having said that, I really appreciate working with software that has been tested with an audience that appreciates quality from a bunch of different angles.  In this case, the design is definitely something that one should consider.  Hard to believe they were selling Amproom for $49 earlier this year.

I can't wait to jump into this more later in the week. 

Daaaaaaayum.   I love me some Amproom - nice free updated, even though it doesn't look like CPU hit has been addressed. I have to find some way to keep the current version so my presets still work.  It's not exactly clear what happens to your instances of Amproom already in projects.

Not sure if I feel lucky to have maxed out during their anniversary sale or if this means better days ahead.  At least it wasn’t Francisco Partners or whatever they call themselves now.

I tried to convince myself that I have other tools that cover this. I failed. This thing is so easy to work with and can sculpt amazing things. It is mine. 

Dammit.

Yes, it IS that messed up.

They just gave me your code!  Must be a proximity thing 'cos I could hear your lack of excitement from my patio, Larry. 

Skipping this until there's a discount on the upgrade - it's tempting, but $69 is more than I want to pay and I wouldn't use the new additions as much as the core plugins from the FX2 list.

Delete your least favorite Soundpaint library and it will make room for X copies of Scaler.  I haven't even scratched the air above the surface of Scaler and I'm blown away at what it can do.

Pretty expensive across the board still.

Yup.  Pass.

Ok I guess there's no reason to buy through NI instead of a reseller then. Great to know!

No reason to rush, either.  I thought it would have been a mistake to include anything new in their freebies and would have jumped sooner to take advantage of it, but no.  No rush.

I have lost that GAS lovin feeling. I have no desire of anything anymore. 😞

Dupe.

Woohoo - there goes the money!!!!

Waoh !!

Yeah, that's what I thought!  It's seriously good plugin for identifying trouble frequencies and masking.  Super easy UI, to boot.

Picked up the Dynamics Bundle for $40.75 from Everyplugin.  Already have the Smart Reverb and Smart EQ3.  I wonder if that will drop prices on other items once I register on Sonible.  I have Entropy and Proximity EQs, too, so I guess we'll see.  Great sale - I've been scouting KVR for a cheap Smart Comp license.

And yeah, I have way too many plugins but my favorite color (today) is green, so Sonible...

Actually, the record price was FREE at Bestservice a couple of years ago!

DAMMIT.  MORE REVERBS.  CAN'T WON'T RESIST.

They need to pay him more so he can get better (closer) videos of the hula dancers.

Hope you had a great time, Larry!!!!!

   While some of what IKM captured and is included in a higher tier than SE is good, a lot of it is mediocre.  But the platform itself is amazing.

TONEX SE unlocks the unlimited downloads of the free tone models.

Exactly why I'll stick with TONEX SE. 

Just re-bought Native on sale two weeks ago.  I love this.

I love the Session Guitarist stuff too - I wonder how this will translate to bass ?

I’m looking forward to getting Prime Bass this summer when I upgrade to K14CE.  Same company, similar UI, demos sound and look good.  Anyone have experience with it?

What one has to ask oneself, at the end of the day, does one really need another reverb?

Heresy!!!!! 

Freaking hysterical.  Unfortunately, all three of these plugins overlap plugins/family/reality I encounter every day.
