Understatement of the year. 😊 I've missed hearing Tony's work here as it was always top notch. Listening on lappy speakers only, but even so the mix comes across very well.

I always liked the reverb module - pro people will say that applying reverb doesn't belong in the mastering process and there is no doubt that those folks will have probably forgotten more about the subject than I will ever know, but all the same, it gave a certain something to the sound that I wasn't able to achieve otherwise. I've even been known to add O5 as a vst into the 09A standalone just to effectively put that reverb module back.

LMAO. Speaking from my experience with their periodic "loyalty" offers, they don't even seem to know what products I already own, so I hope for their sake that the same person isn't in charge of compiling usage data, which in my case they have no way of knowing anyway.

Yeah, I guess you could just load up all the individual modules into the fx bin of your DAW if you don't ever need the AI help to get you started, but I'm a dummy that needs all the help I can get. I'm happy enough with 09A, so not really a problem for me.

The stand alone version allows 3rd party vsts to run inside ozone itself and be moved up or down the signal chain in the same way as the ozone modules. Unless it has changed now this was not possible in the DAW version.

Fair point, but I guess the marketing folks figured that getting people to ask for coffee with a splash of nut juice might lead to some awkward situations

$6 ?? You could get 7 kazoos for that.😎

Good boy!

Well done ? All you have to do now is wind your clock forwards to the correct time and enjoy the few hours before you have the date wrong again.

On the plus side, I reckon that rather than being "over" this will lead to something of a renaissance of it's use by the many, many people who already have it and have had it for so many years that they have largely forgotten all about it in favour of the newer, shinier things that have come their way, They will fall in love with it all over again.... Because, as we know....... Wait for it..... A little longer...... Absynth makes the heart grow fonder. No, you get your coat.

Ooh I know this one....... Strummy, Bapu and craigb walk in to a bar. Craigb goes straight to the men's room to avoid having to buy the beers. Bapu gets the beers in and then Strummy spots some birds across the room, quickly sinks his jar and goes over to chat them up. Bapu finds himself standing at the bar next to guy with a really tiny head - like the size of a billiard ball and the guy looks at Bapu and says.. "Hey there, I'm Kenny.....what's your name?" "I'm Bapu, pleased to meet you". Soon Bapu was regaling him with stories of his latest bass guitar, his old one that nobody cares about and such like, but Kenny soon tired of this so like old dudes everywhere he started talking about his wartime experiences... " My ship was sunk by an enemy torpedo and I ended up all alone on this remote desert island with no way of shaving for years" said Kenny "So how did you get back here?" asked Bapu "Well" said Kenny...."one day I was in the sea taking a whizz. I don't really know why I did that because there was nobody around to see me if I'd just done it up the palm tree, but old habits die hard I guess. Anyway, this mermaid swam up to me and she said " Would you mind not doing that? This is my home! How would you like it if I came in your house and peed all over your furniture?" " I was mortified" he continued..... " I couldn't apologise enough and eventually she calmed down and I told her that actually I would be quite glad if she came in my house and peed all over the furniture. Not because I'm kinky or anything, well maybe a little, but because it would just mean that I would be back home and not stuck here all on my own in the middle of nowhere." "Well" she said..."today is your lucky day. You see I'm a magic mermaid and I can grant you three wishes. Your first wish is to be back home, so as soon as you've made your other two wishes you will go back. What else would you like to wish for?" " I'd like to have more money than I will ever need no matter how much I spend" "Your wish will be granted. What is your final wish?" "Well, it's been a while, so.......how about some mermaid pusssay ?" "I'm a mermaid Kenny, I don't have one" "Well, in that case......how about a little head?"

Totally bizarre.....I guess HH must have been taking any kind of appearance fee just to pay for the thing. Little did he know that a small girl would shoot down his new 30k toy in seconds...... "It can make all kinds of different sounds." "can it make an elephant?" "how about a flute?" Well, that's close. It is a long thing that makes a noise when air is blown through it, right? 😂

I like to think if it as giving all those me first, me first, standing in line waiting for the store to open at 00:01 on release day types exactly what they deserve.

I think the real value is when you're upgrading from not the last version and NI are actually pretty generous when it comes to allowing the upgrade price all the way back to v2. From my v11 plus ( I've bought a few of the guitars) even allowing for the stuff that I won't even bother to install I think it's good value, but I'll still wait for the inevitable sale.

Yeah, you can't really take their ratings seriously, or their "discounts" for that matter, but they're not alone in that. When making any purchasing decision, all I ever consider is...." is that thing worth the current price to me" and then I act accordingly.

My dad used to play a (Carpenters?) song when I was a kid that to me went.... Jam ball eye goldfish pie fill a gum boat.

I'm guessing kazoo karaoke's greatest hits. 😀

Nope. Luckily I had never bought anything from them before they did what they did* and there's no way I would now. * Hard to explain without incurring the almighty wrath of our sponsor's agents of threadicide..... but it's because of their practice of closing down the accounts of people who paid for their products just because of where they happen to live.

I got it free, but at this price it's still a fine thing to have, for sure, but it should come with a warning not to open it up when you're "in the groove", so to speak, because many hours may pass before you remember what it was that you were actually trying to do before you opened it.

I wouldn't give them a single penny for anything.

Elon's don't. Which is ironic.
