I see what you did there... but you did peak my interest in checking it out.

I actually ended up passing on this. Didn't really care for most of the presets.

Fixed - need to have presets loaded for it work. ++++++++++++ Hi Steven, please just be sure the REEVERB XT unit (in ShineVerb) is set to ON (the Bypass/ON button on the upper-left corner of REEVERB XT blue unit). Please be sure to also install the factory presets library - you'll find everything in the demo package. Once the factory presets are installed into the proper folder (see included instructions) you'll be able to select and load each presets from ShineVerb GUI too.

Does this work in Cakewalk? I was interested in checking this out but both the VST2 & VST 3 demo versions are non-functional (at least on my system). The only thing working is the GUI and the beeping every minute.

Initial Audio Sektor updated to 1.6.2 Hi there, we have just updated Sektor to version 1.6.2 fixing a crash in some daw’s that occurred in certain scenarios. We have also been able to reduce cpu usage thanks to code optimizations. The update is available in my account at the updates tab. The full version installers have been updated as well. https://initialaudio.com/ Version 1.6.2 Fixed a crash in some daw’s that occurred in certain scenarios. v1.6.1 info:

$149 MSRP

Sale ends (after?) today

Say Hello to Less offending than extending 'that' digit but gets the idea across just as succinctly. When pressed the button lights up and flashes while the builtin voice yells "HELL NO!" For an even more dramatic effect - get the celebrity audio option that has Samuel L. Jackson yelling "HELL NO M***** ******!" Sure to enlighten even the most clueless - only an additional $15 at check out.

$25, and they still do, just not with the impact they use to. Whether that with change back probably will depend on how well PA's subscription offering goes. If it becomes a real money maker then they'll have little incentive to undercut it. Maybe, need tends to be a subjective thing... I've been burned waiting for BF sales before, we've had a year or two not that long ago where the audio deals were fairly meager. BUT in reality most plugins are luxuries rather than necessities. You could turn out master pieces just with the plugins that come with Cakewalk. Heaven forbid I be the instrument causing you to pry the currency out of your wallet to ply your DAW with ephemeral objects of software construction causing your family to go hungry - that's Larry's job. I was just stating my decision and objectives.

At this moment maybe the point of these sales is to encourage you to buy into a subscription. You look at these sales and their prices and think that's 2 or 3 times what the sub price is... PA is hoping that enough people will bite then forget or decide not to cancel their sub. I decided to join in to round out my collection and picked up Sculpt and in the coming months will pick up Black Box HG-2 MS bx_console AMEK 9099 bx_crispytuner and maybe Suhr SE100 After that it becomes a hard sell to keep the subscription as I've been picking off the choice PA plugins as they've come up on sale over the years. If I forget to cancel I may end up with a couple of $1 coupons to hold incase something new & interesting comes out. Or maybe that'll be a strategy like picking a Toontrack 6 pack even though there's nothing you currently want. But regardless - for me it's definitely going to be limited run subscription.

I'll get it next month for $29 + $1.

Did you like it? For me it's a tempting price but I've already got several other options that aren't getting enough of my attention.

When I was a kid I thought it was funny to sing this to my mom, I'd sing it then we'd both laugh. Lol - Just realized that the lead vocal alternates sides each verse... Don't recall noticing that before even though I've heard this song countless times, maybe I've just for gotten.

Hmm.. I'm seeing $41.25 and that's with code and already owning a couple... Not that that is still not a great deal.

Will have to test this to see if handles guitar finger noise (squeaks) picked up with piezo pickups. iZotope does a decent job if you manually ride the automation, hoping this will do better than that.

No soup for you! But they did include some Logic & M1 fixes...

Never cared for McDSP's business practices and prefer to give my business to other developers.

April 27, 2022: Voxengo Elephant version 5.0 is now available for download and purchase. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plugin for professional audio and sound production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers. Currently on sale 20% off $119.95 $95.96 New in version 5.0: · Version 5 release, upgrade requires a new license. It is fully backwards-compatible, sound-wise. · Implemented the new "EL-5" limiter algorithm. · Updated the noise generator to the latest PRVHASH 4.3. · Added the "Panel border" palette modifier. · Updated all palettes, to reduce "border" contrast. An existing palette may need to be reloaded for the change to be visible. · Improved overall graphics drawing performance. · Improved knob's renderings. · By frequent user request, the "Solo" switch's state is now saved together with the preset (a part of the routing parameters). While this opens up a possibility of leaving the "Solo" switch enabled and forgotten, this provides more flexibility, e.g. when mid/side processing is used. The “EL-5” algorithm introduced in Elephant version 5 takes the best from “EL-4” and classic “AIGC” algorithms. The “EL-5” is not as loud and “hard” as the “EL-4” algorithm, but it is much more precise than “AIGC” algorithms while producing an alike smooth sound. This algorithm better retains dynamical structure of the program material while at the same time adds a unique “sparkling and fresh mojo” to the resulting sound. This algorithm is responsive to the “Timing” and “Rls/Atk Ratio” parameters that can be adjusted to tune the algorithm further. Note that the upgraded version can be demoed without losing previous version's authorization: simply install the new version over an existing version. If the new version does not "click", you may reinstall a previous version back, in-place. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications. The most remarkable feature of this signal limiter is its sonic transparency. Elephant brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without audible “fuzz” and “pumping” sonic artifacts. Elephant is a highly competitive plug-in for mastering applications: it features a variety of limiter modes that can be deeply customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools, including headroom estimation, EBU R128 and K-system metering. Elephant's built-in linear-phase oversampling is an important element in achieving high-quality peak limiting and loudness maximization without inter-sample overshoots (true-peak limiting). Elephant limiter can be used for mixing and mastering of both stereo and multi-channel music and sound material, at any standard sample rate. Limiting process can be visualized both as gain reduction meter and real-time waveform graph. Elephant, also featuring a DC offset filter, and a high-quality bit-depth converter with an optional noise-shaping, allows you to finish your music and audio productions with a spark! Elephant features: · Transparent signal limiting action · 13 predefined limiter modes · Limiter mode editor · Optional release stage · Noise-shaped bit-depth converter · RMS, true peak clipping statistics · EBU R128 LUFS/LU metering · DC offset removal filter · Waveform graph view · Stereo and multi-channel processing · Internal channel routing · Channel grouping · Up to 8x linear-phase oversampling · 64-bit floating point processing · Preset manager · Undo/redo history · A/B comparisons · Contextual hint messages · All sample rates support · 24 ms compensated processing latency · Retina and HighDPI support Elephant version 5 is a free upgrade to Premium Membership owners. Owners of previous Elephant versions can upgrade the license to version 5 for US$49.95. The upgrade is free if a previous version was purchased in the recent 180 days. Demo version of Voxengo Elephant can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/product/elephant/?eref=ml

Every BF (at least for the last 3 years), but as noted rarely at other times.

When I bought the regular (non-Pro) version of 7th Heaven a couple of years ago I was hoping that at some point it would get me a discount on the Pro version. Either that hasn't happened or I missed it.. I don't regret buying the lite version though, it's one of my favorite verbs. It just seems easier to dial in something that sits right in the mix than many of my other verbs. I have not tried Slate VerbSuite so can't comment on that.

Duck 1.3 is our biggest Duck update yet. We’ve added three features that make Duck the most powerful sidechain tool on the market: Groups, MIDI Filtering and Band Soloing. Learn more about each new feature below. Groups Add any Ducks to a group (A, B, C or D), and edit their curve shapes simultaneously. Change the feel of the pump throughout a project without flapping around! MIDI Filtering Filter incoming MIDI so that only a select range of notes trigger Duck. This is great for ducking bass against a kick drum when the kick’s MIDI is part of a larger MIDI drum track. Band Soloing Duck always had band splitting to pump your low and high bands differently, but now you can solo each band to fine-tune exactly where you want the crossover to lie.

or not... As the 3rd article explains many optimization tweaks are based on XP era hardware.

Sonible plugin updates... Just discovered there are updates to all my Sonibile plugins except Balancer. Based on installer exe date looks like Freiraum was updated around March 9, 2022. The dates on the other vary. Here's a list of the PC installers with their version numbers. Sonible_smartcomp_win_1.1.4.zip Sonible_smartEQ2_win_1.2.1 .zip Sonible_smarteq3_win_1.1.3.zip Sonible_smartlimit_win_1.0.2.zip Sonible_smartreverb_win_1.0.0.zip Sonible_balancer_win_1.0.3.zip I only checked a couple but the MAC versions appear to match the PC versions.
