  1. $63.20 after EASTER2021 coupon

    https://www.magix.com/us/music/acid/acid-pro/?_oB=acid-pro

    The way Magix has been doing sales is that instead of reducing the"$79.00 Regularly $199.00" price they add some bonus items. Currently they are are $200 worth of producerplanet (in-app) vouchers and Convology XT. If you aren't particularly interested in these, you can "sweeten the deal" al KVR. The vouchers can be sold for $20 and Convology XT can be sold for $10  (search for recent sales to confirm) potentially bringing the total deal down to $33.20

  2. As an example of how things can change pretty drastically in a very short amount of time, statues of George Washington that have been a symbol of American patriotism for centuries all of a sudden for some they've become symbols of genocidal colonialism that needs to be pulled down (https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/19/us/portland-george-washington-statue-toppled-trnd/index.html). Hilarious?

    Another good alternate platform is rumble.com, which so far seems ok with my music video, and also offers a better monetization deal than YouTube

  3. Nice video!

    I would suggest using alternative platforms like lbry.tv/odysee.com in addition to YouTube. They are less "picky" with regards to Community Rules (censorship) and they have a rewards system that doesn't have a minimum subscriber threshold, gives rewards for more activities, and allows direct tipping.

    You can go directly to https://odysee.com/

    or, if you don't mind an affiliate link (goes to my channel): https://odysee.com/$/invite/@gremlinsmusic:b

    We're not immune to "community rules". Exploding fruit is funny today but tomorrow it could be considered "unacceptable violence". For some people censorship happens because of politics, for me it was a music video that included bullfight scenes that were considered too graphic with a bull being killed (in Spain, where I'm from, these scenes are perfectly fine). YouTube deleted it, Lbry allowed me to upload it (it's just tagged as "mature").

  4. Once you have Synthmaster, you probably want to add some expansions, starting with this free one

    https://vstbuzz.com/freebies/synthmaster-2-8-soundset/

    And then the ones at the synthmaster site. They have sales a couple of times a year so it's probably worth waiting a little until the next one

    https://www.synthmaster.com/synthmasterexpansions.aspx

    In particular I'd recommend checking out the expansions by Nori Ubukata and Rob Lee

  5. For reference: I confirmed that the 20% discount for the module if you own the synth version, it doesn't depend on where you purchase the synth. After buying the virtual instrument from everyplugin and entering the purchase code at cherryaudio, the price for the Voltage module at the cherryaudio store does drop to $23.

    This makes $46.33 the total price for  getting both ($24.33 at everyplugin + $23.00 at cherryaudio)

  6. Autumn is still half a year away, and that brings Oktoberfest stuff on sale. There is currently a nice deal at producerplanet for German folk and Schlager loop libraries - 5 soundpools for $24 (royalty-free version, cheaper for non-commercial)

    https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/oktoberfest-19591/?license=commercial_unlimited

    Mix them up with other genres for fun results (add some surprising yodeling to your metal or trap song, etc.)

    (note: there is another bundle currently on sale with the Schlager libraries only, but it's more expensive)

    Soundpools can be added to Samplitude and Magix Music Maker, and they can also be used as individual loops from any other DAW that supports wav or ogg acidized loop libraries

    Good use for your MMM vouchers if you got them in the most recent Magix humblebundle (expiring end of this month). And for any unused MMM leftover vouchers there's always KVR (https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=560208&p=8056697#p8056697)

  7. Looks like it may be relevant only to Magix Music Maker without the VST support add-in (yeah, in MMM you need to pay $10 for VST2-64 and another $20 for the VST2-32 bit bridge..., unless it is a Magix VST). I Updated the title

  8. Courtesy of producerplanet - D16 Frontier self-adaptive limiter

    https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/frontier-20815/

    Available for free, only for registered D16 software users, who have purchased any product in the past or will do it in the future. It is available free of charge.

    But... producerplanet.com seems to be hosed right now :( (An authentication exception occurred, or 503 Service Unavailable)

  9. Both non-commercial and commercial (royalty free) version have a 100% discount, of course the recommendation is to get the unlimited licensed version

    https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/modern-fairytale-12441/?license=commercial_unlimited

    Soundpools are essentially sample libraries with the melodic loops available in multiple harmonically-related pitches. They are designed for use in Samplitude or Magix Music Maker, but they are also available to download as zip files containing  standard wav/ogg files

  10. 7 hours ago, BassDaddy said:

    Waves is and has been a subscription

    Seriously, it's not, and I think that unfortunately there is some degree of "fear" factor, fueled by WUP complaints, that cause people to "subscribe" when they don't need to.

    You can mix and match waves versions (e.g., run v9 IM Pusher, v10 CLA Guitars and v12 OVox) installed in the same machine and in the same DAW session and it's perfectly OK. You really don't need to WUP.

    There are cases where upgrading gives something valuable (new plugins added to a bundle, support for new OS  requirements like happened for Catalina, or support for new hardware such as higher-res screens, the 2nd license, etc). If this is your case, just evaluate what you get and decide if the price is right. New plugins in 2017 is a good example of what I mean. In 2017 if you added up the (2017) prices of the new plugins added to Mercury, it is noticeably more money than a year of WUP. If you wanted the plugins you'd be better off getting WUP instead of purchasing those plugins separately.

    Then, plugin prices went down and WUP prices didn't, making it less interesting. Time will tell if WUP prices come down and it will become a better deal again.

    In any case, since Waves is allowing the coexistence of versions and not forcing the upgrades, WUP is something good to have as a choice.
