We're witnessing the birth of a new marketing scheme: give away a sufficient number of free presets to induce you to buy the corresponding plugin.

Using the $20 off of $50 promo combined with the WINTER2020 coupon code allowed me to knock-off two of the plugins on my Waves wishlist: Abbey Road Vinyl and Scheps 73 for $34 ($17 each).  You can get a similar deal at Everyplugin.com.

I have it.  Did you use presets or tweak it?   I have almost all of the IL synths. This one I've rarely paid attention to.

I only used their presets. They have a sort of epic quality to them and don't sound like any of my other synths.

I'm not sure what type of music you write/play, but it might be worth listening to a few presets. Cheers...

Then what display name? Isn't locrian it?

Yes, I changed it back again; for the third time. Maybe it was a wierd glitch.

I might get this.

Certainly a cool-looking plugin. The fluorescent display reminds me of my Triton.

Someone keeps changing my display name. 😬

Is one of the moderators responsible? Or maybe we just crossed the Singularity and it's AI having fun?

Several years ago I got this one free from MF. I've used it in many tracks. It's nastily unique.

I'm holding out for $29.99 - definitely. 😉

Very pleased with my two choices: Lindell Audio 80 Series and LION.  😀

Hmm, just tried the demo and was not as blown-away as I thought I would be.  Maybe it's the reduced sound-quality of the demo's (highly-compressed) samples. It just seems more exciting when John plays it.  I certainly see the potential here; just not yet sold.

I think I've been afflicted with BGAS (blunted gear affect syndrome) brought on by years of hearing all the amazing VIs out there. It's like slowly losing your hearing. 😞

Man, these patches are really expressive (even on my tiny phone speakers).

Can't wait to try the demo.

Are you saying that hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way? 😊

It's the human way.

Well, the time is gone, the post is over, Thought I'd something more to say.  😉

Don't get too worried just yet.

The comparison between people working in the UK film industry and those in the larger UK population may not be an apples-to-apples comparison. It's not clear from the article, but the 87% who "...experienced a mental health problem..." may be an overestimation resulting from an incresed likelihood of those suffering from a mental health issue to participate in the online survey.

The seemingly lower 65% value for the entire UK population, in contrast, is probably derived from the incidence of *treated* rather than *reported* mental health cases. And this could mean that the 65% number is actaully higher because 'latent' cases of mental illness in the larger UK population are not represented simply because no one asked these folks if they have a problem.

Just my $0.02...

The centrepiece of the research was an online survey – over 9,000 people responded. The Looking Glass survey results reveal a mental health crisis in the workforce.

Nearly nine people in ten (87%) working in the UK’s film, TV and cinema industries have experienced a mental health problem, which compares with two in three (65%) people in the UK population,

Just to clarify, can Unify control/modulate *any* arbitrary patch from any VI you own -- i.e., is Unify truly a universal VI/FX host?

Also, I take it that this sort of thing is not really new, but what's valuable here is the ease of creating new 'meta-instruments', yes?

It's  agreat one , if you want that glue , go hard knee , sideahcin on and flirt with 1 db of gr max with this setting !!

 

I don't doubt the quality, just the over-use of HD space. I'm down to my last 60 of 512GB and have to be more selective (my DAW is a laptop).

Besides, I already have the Waves PuigChild 670 and use it regularly on my 2-bus with good results.

Installing just *one* compressor will consume over 2.5GB of SSD space?!?  No thanks.

This update/hotfix noticeably improved performance and, for me, eliminated hangs on shutdown.

When was Polaris given as a freebie?

I'm not sure, but I think I got it from Plugin Boutique a few years ago.

I was surprised when I saw it on sale there recently for approx $10.

Maybe this is the sort of thing Hidden Symmetry was hinting at (jump to 3:30)...

No, it has nothing to do with that. Past history.

I was thinking of trying a few of these out but don't want to mess up my system. By "cautious" do you mean that the installation process wreaks havoc on your DAW?

Sorry for all the questions...

I'd be cautious using or investing in these plugins.

Because of the above-mentioned potential malware?
