  1. That is great to hear Mr. Notes... I just purchased a copy of the Pop/Rock Disk#2, so very nice of you to offer an update free of charge! Looking forward to it's release!
  2. I just ordered on the JRR site in the first post at $19.00.
  3. I've been using iZotope Nectar 3 heavily in my songs since it came out and and have had a few nuisance issues with some of the features. Purchased an upgrade to Nectar 4 last week and gave it a test drive this week. Found the changes they made are more substantial than I would have thought. If you've purchased the upgrade or considering it, Plugin Boutique hosted a live 90 min video with the Product Manager of Nectar 4 at iZotope, and instead of just giving an overview of everything in Nectar 4, he focused on the new enhancements with a deep dive into hpw some of those features work. If you have both the interest and the time, I found this video to be very helpful in understanding a couple of the new features, especially the "Voices" module, which at first try I felt was useless based on the sound created, but I saw in the video I was using it incorrectly in my test drive. Here's the link which you should be able to rewind to the beginning.
  4. So all said and done, given the JRR deal is a mistake (only for purchasers of MPS5 during the month of August 2023), my best current "deal" (citing iZotope's Loyalty offer) seems to be to upgrade/purchase to the Music Production Suite 6 (I do have the 5.2 version, and don't need the other Bundle products). I don't use or need the Guitar Rig product, but to buy individual upgrades for Nectar 4 Advanced ($119) and Ozone 11 Advanced ($148) would total $268. The "upgrade" pricing is the same as a straight purchase price for the Loyalty offer, So id anyone sees a better "legitimate" deal to get Nectar 4 + Ozone11 (both Advanced versions) please post to this thread.
  5. I got the email from Baby Audio this morning with the $59 deal + 10% off if an existing subscriber to Baby Audio emails. Looks like they check if your email address is in their list before giving the 10% discount. I'm probably not going to be able to really experiment with it for a month or two, but from the intro vid by Huang, I think that I'll have a playtoy to tinker with for a year with this plugin!
  6. And here I thought that a group of guys on the forum who seem to often talk about GAS, would have had a solution to my Fart problem!
  7. I picked up the Audio Assault Double Take plugin and also grabbed the freebie "Fart Machine", but I can't seem to get Fart Machine to work when I use it in Cakewalk. The Double Take plugin works just fine as does an older on from Audio Assault called XCTR. Does anyone own a copy of Fart Machine? I thought I just needed to place it on a track, open the VST3 window, and press the button... but lo and behold... no Fart is heard. I added the VST3 to a track that I use to test plugins, so audio goes to Master and track volume at -0-. The power button lights up on the plugin but can't get it to "activate" da fart. Watched two uTube vids on the plugin and reinstalled it, but still can't figure it out. Brain must be losing cells faster than I hoped! Might have to resort to beans or cabbage when I need a good fart sound.
  8. Thanx for the tip. I picked up Speldosa, which sounds like a very nice music box effect which I can really use. Chose the Melda Phaser as my freebie.

    NI Output Sale

    Thanks for the recommendations!!. After reviewing their instrument options and listening to the videos on the Output.com site, the only one that really seems like it would currently work for me is Exhale, which is not (for me) worth paying $199, so I think I'll keep an eye on the NI offers and see if at some point they will offer a super deal on Exhale alone.

    NI Output Sale

    Saw the reply from Fleer and stimulated my possible interest. I've never heard of Output "intrument" products before today but did some research today on three products of possible interest: Exhale (Vocals); Substance (Bass sounds); and maybe Analog Strings. Curious if these products are worth consideration or your views on how useful they are if you have tried them. views about these products? "Exhale" would be my primary interest, but the "deal" has to be for three selected Output products. Appreciate your input if you're familiar with these products.
  11. I'm in line with most of the comments where the "inner desire" to get a new or steeply discounted plug-in has faded... EXCEPT for vocal plugins. I see a new vocal plugin and I watch all the videos, check reviews and if there's any hope of somehow improving my vocals just a lil bit, I spring for it. Only to later find that ther are no magic presets that I can just add to my vocals and really sound good. So... I decided to do something really radical. I stopped buying plug-ins because of ads or enticing videos, and I'm going to actually learn to use each effect I already have and try to completely understand what it does and does not do to enhance my vocals or instrumentals. If I find it doesn't do something better than another plugin I have, it goes off to the archive folder. Give me a few months of doing this and let's see if I can survive it!
  12. I also did the WUP for Omni1 and had to wait for an email from Waves, which gave me a serieal number for Omni Channel 2!
  13. That model would be definitely better than how my subscriptions for TV streaming work. If I stop paying the $17/month to Netflix, then I can no longer watch Netflix. Same with other television, Internet subscription content providers, and "use all our plugins for a monthly subscription" like Slate. The key for me would be to keep the monthly fee low, e.g. if the monthly subscription was $15, that would be the same as a $160/annual "upgrade" fee. And if the model offers a discounted upfront fee for less than $$/mo x 12 months, that could benefit Bandlab relating to the costs of monthly processing as well as save us some annual out-of-pocket cost.
  14. Okay, so I downloaded the VST3 file and the Library ZIP files onto my desktop. Had Comodo Antivirus scan the files and no issues. Extracted the files and ran the extracted files trough Comodo Antivirus and also no issues. So will load them later this evening on my music computer and see if any issues and I can install correctly.... and if it plays correctly!!
  15. I'm paying $7.95 per month to Microsoft for 365, but I don't know if that fee covers additionbal computers in my same household. How did you subsribe to the $$99/Annual for 6-licenses deal? I'm unaware of that option.
