I wanna see Deals without Waves plugins. 

Some comments on KVR say it's really not a must have.  Companies that basically deal with hardware are very poor with handling the software side as you see from Sergio's post.  Korg is another one of those.

Where did you see the upgrade for $2? Cheapo me wants to save a buck!

It may show up if you login.

What's holding Melda back is lack of how to videos.  Every plugin looks like a rocket science. 

Meanwhile I think T-Racks are often ignored.

If someone were so inclined, a thesis could be written about the confusion.  Clever New Marketing Tool--CLENEMATOOL (not as "contagious" as CLAP).  ? 

Any marketing Ph.D. candidates looking for a dissertation topic?  

Confusion probably drives as many sales away as purchasing.   To work in marketing you have to be clueless about the area you are in.

Scott has a niche there. He works in a genre that seems kind of underserved (not "undeserved!") on YouTube.

There's....plenty....of pop r 'n' b stuff on there, which, to be fair, uses slick production techniques to the hilt, but it's not a genre that I much care for, at least not in its current state.

You gotta make the kicks shine and make sure there is separation between guitar and bass.  I doubt it's as easy as one thinks.  My attention span can't handle 20 minute+ youtube videos so I don't know if there was am A/B comparison.

Anybody got this? Worth it for more than just a GAS purchase?

No.

I found the song hard to listen at low volumes, but that's more a flaw of the genre in question than everything.

That is not a good genre for any mixing display.

or buy something that you will use.........they have different sales through the month I guess.......no need to jump the gun

Found my email in  spam.  I don't ever recall metapop either but used the voucher for the Trance one.

Wrong forum.  Please move.   We abuse this part of the forum.

I'm trying to avoid impulse buys, but getting Augmented Voices and piano for $29 seems too good a deal to pass up.   $14.50 each!  Less  the price of many preset patch sets.

What I like about Arturia is that you can download full-featured demos.  So I've been messing with these two for months.  I know I like them.  While I admire the modeled vintage synths that Arturia creates, I use the new ones like Pigments more.  And these are in that vein.

While this is a nice deal, it makes me worry that I'll get the brass too.  ?  But I'm assuming that Arturia will Augment the hell out of some Woodwinds at some point, so I hope I can wait for a deal on those two.

 

I have this problem when it comes to Arturia.  There's so many things they do right for their user base.

This is like Toontrack . You fork out money aimed at genres.   You can buy presets for Spire, Sylenth,  Serum, Arturia, and not even dent the price of this.

Unify hasn't reached to a sales point that I would buy.  So many products like this become money pits and take up space.   If you look at the Unify page it seems to benefit if you have certain libraries.

As far as "missing on a whole world of sounds" is something my system drives are telling me without buying anything.

So funny the contradictions they use when marketing loops.

I still prefer buying sample packs over a sub. You would spend a lot of time auditioning sounds instead of creating.  Plus snippets of packs would mess up the organization for me since I went through years of loop hoarding.  I am only interested in midi files these days.

I just realized you can demo the EZD 3 and EZ Bass. 

I've moved away from romplers with 2 machine limit.  I can put IK and Ujam on all of my systems.

There are a lot of piano libraries that I don't believe are good enough for me.  In this case, I'm (my playing,that is) not good enough for this piano. I completely love the sound, but I can't do it justice solo and I'm not sure it would fit with rock productions. 

I use the one in FL Studio. It loads right up and it's used for sketching.  I've stopped being a piano collector since anything I do doesn't really feature piano.  It's easy for people to get obsessed with these.

I'm all PA'd out.  They have great deals but at some point there's only so much.

?no trophy for the finding

Lack of description and becomes a guessing game.   That's so VI Control.

I'd prefer we blacklist them here.

Saverio makes some nice plug-ins, but he really painted himself into a corner with the constant sales.  May as well set the regular prices to "old price x .2" and start over.

Maybe he should follow the Waves model..........

Come on man, there are more ways than one to make money and provide free services to attract users. Many places did it for a long time. In fact they were more than happy to do it just to get clicks.

Somewhere down the line some decided " People will pay for this. We shouldn't provide this content for free!"

I ain't one of them people.

If the WSJ can't make enough to stay afloat off the clicks, they need to hang it up.

This is the problem with all printed news media.  One of the two in Chicago became non profit.

It's worse if you have Reason Suite,  REs and VSTs make it overwhelming.

I'd argue that for those, sound design may be what's fun.

Creating music isn't easy.  A lot easier to buy a plugin, play with it a bit, and go to bed.

Easy to do sound design but trying to make it fit in music is what's hard.

I’ve been doing this with my sample libraries: creating short, quick arrangements using only one library or library sets from the same developer (where possible). The idea was to force myself to learn how to use my libraries properly. It’s takes time to master the nuances and tricks that make libs work, especially orchestral ones.
 

It’s been a surprising experience, and pretty constructive. 

I'm finding the all in one smaller orchestra packages suffice.
