Don't they run in the UVI Workstation?  I have 3 form a prior sale, but never use because I forget they are there.  

Here is the generic $5 coupon code.  It has worked multiple times  apd-e1047-s622-lrg

Do I have this already? Eh, it's free.  I can afford to "buy" it again.... 😁

I'm getting there......

Pick up the custom set at a place like JRR.  You can't buy it from XLN if you own Addictive Drums.  It includes AD2, plus your choice of 3 drum sets, 3 midi packs, and 3 extras.  Worth it just for the drum kits and midi.  There's an XL version with 6 kits and midi.  

Not on sale outside of XLN yet.  Sometimes it takes a day or too.

Bringing this thread back to Zynaptiq, wondering if I can use this plugin to restore a very old vocal.  After using RX7 filters, denoisers, etc to remove an out of tune piano from background. I managed to squeeze the life out of the original vocal. 

I'm almost wondering if it would have been better to start all over and use something like Melodyne to fix the piano and leave the rest alone?

Edit: I think you can download a trial version.

But can it remove excess GAS?

I need a plugin like that to enable once in a while when things get out of hand...I actually discovered i already owned a couple of plugins I was keeping an eye out for.....that is bad heheh

At least you didn't buy them again.  Like I've done.   😲   

This is one of those things I have a problem with.  The bargain hunter in me says "BUY", but the person who just doesn't like synths says, "yeah, sounds like every other synth I own and never use."

I think I prefer Insolidus to Silka.

Or Silka to Insolidus. 

If that helps

 

I was just coming on to say the same thing.  There are nice things about Silka, but I kind of like Insolidus better.  And both over the others.  But Silka does sound good. 

As a note, I am a soprano. I've had some classical training before I went pop/rock.  I don't see any use for the sopranos for me. A lot of others love them.

But, but... there are six of them :

Silka, Insolidus, Lacrimosa, Requiem Pro, Liberis Angelic Choir, The New Studio Sopranos

The 4 listed above.  I don't have Requiem Pro (I do have Soundiron's Requiem Lite) and the New Studio Sopranos.

Now can we come up with one that fixes a voice like mine that can't sing and make me sound wonderful

EW Hollywood Choir?  

I like the name.  But I have an awful lot of these things and half the time end up using Waves Tune because it is easy.

Do you have either one of them?

I do. They are.  And? Slightly different.   I have all 4.  I have too much stuff. 

They all sound really good.  Some are louder, some are softer, but you can similar sound by just changing the volume.  Very playable though.

I've heard of this being used to remove excess reverb.  Might be more useful when trying to match orchestral libraries.  

This thing is so pretty.  But I don't synths much. Not sure I'd ever use it. 

$87 at Time+Space with my loyalty points.  Didn't realize I had so many!  What a deal!  😲 😊

Probably can use customer discounts at Best Service also. 

Ah well, missed it this time.  I've bought it twice just for the Groove3 code.  The rest is mostly useless.  I gave away the Studio One codes to a couple of broke guys who used it to upgrade.  

The Sonnox one does work.  I also believe the IK ones still work. 

I also like the Seahorse.  But I think that is a bit more.  Besides single hits, it has some nice arp-y loops? Not really loops as it will continue as long as the midi note is drawn.  It is a wooden instrument like a frog guiro. 

They have some really great inexpensive percussion libraries.  But be worth picking one up to save 20%.

They have a section of $50 and under; there's some quite nice stuff there, but if you're looking for the absolute cheapest, you can get Bottles for $2.

The Bottles are great! I've bought them at least twice!

I don't think that the Competitive Crossgrade replaces Cubase.  The Crossgrade FROM Cubase, at $240 DOES replace Cubase.

I was thinking of doing the competitive crossgrade just to keep my Cubase version.

I submitted my Ableton 10 Suite receipt to get the competitive crossgrade.  That way I can keep my Cubase 10.5 and add Nuendo.  At least I hope it works that way.  $420 in the Steinberg shop, but I have to wait for them to verify my submission before I can finish the check out.  Doubt they will do it fast since I ordered on Friday.  I couldn't find any retailers that sell the crossgrade version.

Long term I suspect I'll just switch to Nuendo.  It's video and game development features match up what I do better than Cubase.  But the fact they don't lead with new features in Nuendo makes no sense to me.

Of all the DAWs I suspect Protools is going to take the most damage from the COVID-19 shutdown.  All the studios that haven't been able to book clients for months are likely to fold.  Everyone is going with home studio rigs and Protools doesn't seem like a good fit for that.  I suspect Logic will have picked up a lot of new customers.  Maybe Avid may finally have to rethink their subscription/permanent license model.  I can't imagine what they offer now working out well.  Lots of people will just stop updating and realize there are at least a half dozen serious DAW contenders that don't need a $200/year  support contract.  Apple going ARM will only push that even harder.

Avid offered free home use versions to people with a Studio version for 90 days.  There were some qualifications, but it was supposed to allow studio personnel to work from home.  Of course,  not sure how it works without all the plugins that are on the studio computers.   

Someone pointed out on another board you can crossgrade from another DAW (most of us have at least 2) for $420 if you have an e-licenser or $447.99 if you don't.  I don't know if they charge shipping on the e-licenser or where they are shipping from.  You can get one for the same price at places like Sweetwater if it is a problem. With this crossgrade, you don't lose your Cubase license.  Just a thought.....

May have to look at this, though my current Launchkey 61 is less than a year old.  My older 25 and 49 still work great and I don't use Ableton enough to justify an upgrade.  

I think my next one may be on of those NI 32 key ones. They look perfect for travel.  My Launchkey 25 is missing the mod wheel.  I would really like a mod wheel. 

Edit - the 25 key now has a mod wheel - nice! 

This is one of those cool plugins that I don't really have a use for yet, but might be nice to have.  Especially if I ever finish the project of putting old records on mp3.  After verifying they aren't available anymore.   

However, it isn't at a no-brainer price for me (as in under $30)  So I will probably wait until it shows up for sale at a place I have discount points, like Time+Space

Hi Simon (or anyone else willing to chime in), with the current sale it’s actually cheaper for me to move to Nuendo @$240 instead of upgrade to latest version of Cubase @$299.  Just curious why you prefer to use cubase over nuendo?  Haven’t really been able to pin down what is the main motivation to use one over the other beside some features being released first for one and not the other.  A few others told me they use nuendo for work so have cubase at home so this is why they mostly use cubase.  Anyway, just curious to get your thoughts. Thanks.

Other issue is, if you do this, you lose your Cubase license.  They you are stuck paying for Nuendo upgrades which are generally higher than Cubase ones.
