I keep seeing these nonsense opinions around various forums.

This^ statement is nonsense.

Even if they don't move to a subscription model it's unlikley I'll buy much more from them given that the quality/usefullness of their stuff has been on the decline for a while.  I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.  And fortunately we still have a gazillion choices.

Well, FOMO only applies when you truly *want* or *need* something and are afraid of missing it at a good price.  Do you really want/need a new DAW?  If not, then just be patient and wait for the one you want (which sounds like SONAR).

I never experience FOMO over things I don't want if I know I'll never use them irrespective of how good the deal is.

It sounds cool, but it definitely is not an authentic 200A.

You're being very polite.  The sounds are middling at best.

IMO the library isn't worth the trouble to download and install.

MiniFET is the little brother to the + version. But it still has plenty to offer: The same 3 action modes, harmonics multipliers and saturation system, oversampling, a switchable transformer output stage. But it only has 1 harmonics mode (natural) and 1 transformer type (modern). It also does not include: external sidechain, variable sidechain filter, auto-release, dual mono channel mode. But it's the same flexible FET compressor in every other way!

Output released Pack Generator, a free AI-based sound generator that lets users create royalty-free sample packs using text prompts.

The Department Of Sound has released EcoSlap, a free slap delay plugin that is available for both Windows and Mac systems.

EcoSlap is derived from the company’s premium Ecoplate I plate reverb plugin. It uses Ecoplate’s shortest decay setting with additional controls. 

It is a different kind of slap-delay since its signature sound originates from a modeled analog plate reverb.

So if you had money just for one at ~$99 (before coupons), which one would it be? Tai Chi?

I bought Tai Chi and have tried *every* preset on guitars, vocals, and drums and none of them really impressed me.

None of them sounded bad, but none of them stood out compared to my other reverbs.   Of course, YMMV.

7.7.2 is out...

Does anyone have Complete Guitar Series Bundle by Sound Props?   If so, is it worth $89.00?

To enter the giveaway, enter (I think he meant answer) the following question in the comments at the bottom of the page:

"What is your music production goal for 2024?"

And again w/code: BFDELAY .

I was hoping they'd do some 50% discounts like they do in spring.  Their BF sale is kinda meh.

I call bullshit because it's still being sold on the site.

I said the same thing to the rep but was told that they have no licences left in 'stock' and have to remove the product page.

I just spoke to someone at GC re: my Phase Plant order and he told me that they cannot fulfill anymore orders b/c they no longer offer that product.

Kinda sounds like BS to me, but let's see...

Review & D/L: https://www.audiopluginsforfree.com/the-scrooo/

Product Page: https://www.fullbucket.de/music/scrooo.html

The Scrooo is a polyphonic software synthesizer plug-in for Microsoft Windows (VST2) and Apple macOS (VST2/AU) based on a spectral formant synthesis architecture and written in native C++ code for high performance. Main features are:

• Up to 64 voices polyphony including Unison mode and portamento
• Two band-limited carrier oscillators
• Three fully independent formant generator sections
• Three formant generation modes
• Two amplifiers with volume and panorama control
• Three envelopes (ADSR) with exponential slopes
• Three low frequency oscillators (LFOs) with tempo synchronization
• Supports MTS-ESP by ODDSound dynamic micro-tuning
• MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC
• Plug-in supports Windows and macOS (32 bit and 64 bit)
• CLAP version for MacOs & windows

I just noticed that their Flex synth is listed as free.  But, I don't know how to actually get it; i.e, I don't see anything that would add it to my cart.  Anyone?

Maybe this *only* works inside FL?

I ran the Rhapsody installer and it seemed to install okay.

However, when I went to open it I realized nothing had actually been installed.  Strange.  So I uninstalled it.  Oh well...

MiniVCA+ is peak based VCA style compressor, featuring 3 feed-forward VCA action modes to enhance your audio. A robust harmonics section that goes from subtle to extreme! 3 Harmonics modes, 2 switchable output transformer simulations, auto-release adapted for each action mode, soft knee option, external sidechain and high-pass filter, it has you covered. Newly redesigned oversampling system offering up to x16 rate, and a new channel mode setting to force mono operation or go into dual mono operation.

Review: https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/11/16/bad-humors-sequencer/

D/L: https://github.com/niflheimmer/badhumors

The purpose of this plugin is to give you some creative effects to use in one place, or to spice up your rhythm with some glitchiness.

The effect plugin syncs with your DAW to let you sequence 4 effects, from 1 to 16 steps.

The steps have one length that you can designate from one whole note to one 32nd note, based on your BPM.

The effects can be combined together and are chained left-to-right (or top-to-bottom).

Note: You will need to install CSound to run this plugin.
