Probably Nectar 3 Plus more money! 🙂 I saw that do, strange.

Yep, If you don't have another IK product you can get that product, but only if you buy this as your first product, but its different if you can crossgrade, then you can have it cheaper if you buy this instead as your first product but it can't be hardware as your second product, but if you have jam points its a totally new story... My brain is melting... @Peter don't worry I'm ok, I just needed to laugh a little 🙂, love IK!

Even if you don't buy anything in this group buy, you must admit this thread will have been a huge brain exercise! 😵🥴

I updated my Nectar 3 but their site does not have release notes for 3.2. I wonder what's changed...

Yep, but diapers aren't included!

The page says: 'PLEASE NOTE THE INSTALLERS ARE NOT WORKING! WE ARE FIXING THE PROBLEM AND HOPE TO BE UP SHORTLY.'

Sorry, mine's gone... 😐

Funny, I tried refreshing the group buy counter page and the numbers keep changing in every direction. Number of required participant for next tier is a number between 5 and 12 randomly! ☺

I also have the Waves email code I won't use if someone needs one.

That's what I thought, thanks for confirming. I love freebies, but it doesn't have the same good feeling the second time around! Although I am ok with second free beer... 😉

Is this offer any different than the Reason lite giveway at Plugin Boutique back in July? I am not that knowledgeable in Reason software yet and since I got Reason lite rack back then at Plugin Boutique, I am wondering if this Waves offer is just the same and I should just ignore it or am I missing something.

Comes down to 39$ with the code, quite cheap. But... how many LA-2A emulation plugins does one need... I wonder...

I'd love to help, but this is really weird. All I can say is that I am using Amplitube 4 all the time and have had no panning problems. I am using version 4.10.0, the latest. I use a stereo track for my guitars and send the left input of my Scarlett 2i4 to it. Here is how my track looks like for my lead guitar of my current project. Panning this track works as expected. I even tried removing all the other effects after Amplitube, just in case, and panning still worked. One thing you could try is the new Cakewalk Channel Tools plugin. Well its not new but it was re-introduced recently. You might get better results and in any case it is a better panning tool than the pan button. Just put that as the last plugin in your chain and use that for panning.

It is now free for Focusrite users through Plug-in collective. Check your accounts!

Nice freebie. I got it a year or so ago when they gave it away then too. It's a compressor I go too quite often. It sounds great, got a side chain and nice presets. Because of its side chain I use it a lot for ducking. For example, I throw one on my vocal echo bus and using the vocals on the side chain I duck the echo a bit while there is singing. Also useful to duck the bass a bit on kick hits, etc.

Great, things are getting back to normal again!

Wow, this is getting very nice indeed! You leave me no choice Adam, I'll have to install it and try it out later today. 🙂 Some people like flat looking controls, which is fine, but I'm on the opposite side of the scale and enjoy 3D eye candy interfaces. The more 'equipment' like it looks, the more I love it. This is excellent work! Can't wait to see what you'll do with the faders....

Hum, strange, I just looked at my installation of the free SSD5 VSTi and it shows up correctly in Cakewalk and I took a minute to check the registry and isVst is set to 1. your problem must not be happening to everyone, but I sure wonder why it happens to some and not to others. I don't know what to make of it.

Being a software developer myself, I can't help but try to figure out what might be the problem. I just like puzzles I guess. 🙂 I tried analyzing this to see what could be the difference between our working install and those that do not show the plugins. Of course I have little to go on to do detective work, but still. The difference I see from my install, and I presume Jonathan's, and those of Patrick and Milton is the language Windows is installed in. Ours is English (although I am a French speaking Canadian I always have used Windows in English), theirs is not. Although we should be tempted to say "it shouldn't make a difference", I have learned in almost 40 years of software development that this kind of statement is only true until we figure out what the problem is. Maybe something to investigate...

A friend of mine sent me tracks a few weeks ago of a song he was doing with a female singer. He wanted me to do the guitars on it. I listened and the woman had a very nice voice and sang very well. But hey, I have Melodyne I acquired recently and know how to use it, so I decided I could probably make her singing even better! Yeah! I loaded her track in Melodyne, looked at the gray rectangles, looked at all her orange blob notes. They all, without exception, where dead in the middle where they belonged. I picked up my jaw from the floor, closed Melodyne and went on composing the best guitar parts I could for it. It was a pleasure through headphones to hear that voice as intimate as it could be for hours while I composed the guitars. Great experience. Strangely enough, because of confinement, I haven't even met the singer yet. On the other hand, I do use Melodyne on my own band's male singers to help our recordings a bit. It does a great job there and is needed! 🙂

And you open yourself for crossgrade to standard on any of the 4 elements in the future as you progress!

Have you tried to see if they are simply marked as excluded for some reason? Just launch 'utilities/Cakewalk Plug-in manager' and tick 'Show Excluded', then click on the different categories and look for anything that should not be included for you. If you find them, there is a button to enable them. The other things that could have happened is that the VST Scan paths in preference might have lost a directory where you have those installed or, if you are looking at your plugins sorted by categories, that their categories have changed for some reason, try and sort them by manufacturer you may find them that way. Since Cakewalk cannot uninstall VSTs and VSTis, they have to still be there somewhere...

Ditto! It was 99$ for Nectar 3 standard including Melodyne 5 element not too long ago...

I had enabled them manually before. They are not showing up in a standard install. You had to go in plugin manager to remove their exclusion. I haven't checked my new install for them yet. But you may have to re-enable them again after the install, expecially if you removed the old version before installing. If you don't remember how to enable them, search this forum and you'll find help on that. There is also a video on YouTube by Mike Enjo showing how to. These are great plugins, well worth the effort to get them back! Good luck!
