I really dig those Augmented instruments, but I'll wait on V Collection X.

I also had updates for Augmented Strings and Augmented Voices.

Interesting about a new Augmented Brass

You can chop and flip anyway you want and still be flagged. 

I have a foolproof method for not getting flagged.   I just never actually record anything, finish a song, and certainly don't release what little I actually accomplish. 

Is it wrong to have both a  HX Stomp  and Helix Native?  Asking for a friend...

I have an annual all-access pass.

Wonder why it didn't work for you.  I also have annual, which expires in January of 24.  I was able to extend to March 1 using the code.

Odd.

For those who went for the Musio deal, there is an update this morning that brings most of their April 2023 roadmap into Musio.  I see CineWinds Pro, CineBrass Pro, Tina Guo Solo Cello, Industry Brass Pro, and a few others that are new.

Not sure why, but I got a free SuperRack Performer added to my account. 

Lucky.   None for me, and I own Mercury, all the Abbey Road, SSL, and several outliers.

Thanks you.   Finally Vapor Keys 2 on sale.

  I can't believe they are holding to 100 sales though.  FOMO works too well.

Yeah, that kind of stuff irritates me.  Shoot, there are probably 100 just on VI that went for it.  

I was in the same boat - I only had one of their Kontakt libraries.  If I had more, I probably wouldn't have gone for it.

Shades of "Sonar For Life".  I bought that and six months later came the end.   I was so pissed. 

After thinking long and hard about this, I blew my whole summer budget and went for this deal.   I mean, it can't happen to me twice, right? 

Musio is clearly on the newish side, but so far so good. 

I find it curious (and a bit humorous) that the title of this thread is "IK Renews ....Featuring more affordable prices with more accessible upgrades" - and the entire thread is about how confusing IK is and the prices being too high. 

$300?  Uhhh....no.

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

@Fleer, a question for you....

I've been playing around with it. The workflow is similar to iZotope Ozone and Neutron. You let StudioVerse "listen" to the track and then it comes up with a list of suggested plugin chains that you can tweak.

Some differences with iZotope are:

• Instead of one chain, it presents many possible chains, and you can easily one-click-switch from one chain to another and listen to the difference (but note that this switching can sometimes get very CPU intensive)
• The chains have "macro" knobs, to easily tweak the main parameters instead of having to dig into each plugin to tweak the settings (similar to how presets work e.g., in Analog Lab and many other synths)
• You can refine the "AI Listen" results using tags, name or id. You can also skip the "AI" part and just search in the whole collection.

Sure, if you don't have many Waves licenses and/or have crossed out Waves from your list of plugins to use, this will be of little use to you but, if you have a large collection of their plug-ins (Mercury, etc) this is a really nice freebie.

This is the "AI version" of the "make your mix sound like Chris Lord-Alge/Greg Wells/Tony Maserati/etc" that Waves has been marketing for years

THanks, I think I'll check it out.

BBCSO Pro is so worth it. Between that and HOOPUS you’re set for classical. 

Which is the big reason I didn't go for much in the Cinesamples sale!

The people I feel bad for now are the folks like Fleer and others who were just giving away serials not just a week ago.  They are the ones who got screwed now....

If this is true, I am proven wrong.  Never thought it would happen.

Would be very happy about it though.

BTW: I already regret my impulse purchase of CineStrings Solo. I was like OMG GLITCH!!! and jumped on it after hearing 5 seconds of a demo, but actually testing the library myself, it's pretty clear I will have little use for it because all the strings sound like they were recorded for the next BBC medieval drama.

Buy responsibly.

I was really close to making the same (probable) mistake.  I had all the core libraries in my cart, and was looking at that $400 price tag.  Then I looked at my spreadsheet where I keep documentation of all my VSTs and Kontakt libraries.  It didn't take me long to determine I really didn't need them at all.

I did end up purchasing both choirs though.  Will have a quick play through tonight, but I think I'll be happy with those purchases.

What do you mean? I see CinePerc as v1.3 and CineStrings Solo as v1.2 for example, but surely these are the latest versions?

Cinestrings and Voxos are two I was looking at. 

Can anyone confirm these are the Version 2 of these libraries?
