I saw the thread, adjusted my seat, and then saw you stole my joke…haha I should get a hobby. I hear making music is fulfilling and there is more to it than just buying plugins hahah

Also updated, Cameo (8GB download to 1.0.5 to fix “click” in bell, are you kidding me hehe ) and Emulation II (2.7GB download to 1.4.4 to fix French Horns corrupted samples, okay maybe this one)

Even the chair thinks it’s getting robbed..

Fyi....Black Friday price was $65. This is same 50% discount. I’ve seen some flash sales for 40% off in case you miss this one but not sure how often they pop up.

I could’ve sworn I already had Icarus 2 but that first sentence made me double check hehe Jason makes a great NKS implementation for Icarus 2. Highly recommended. https://freelancesoundlabs.com/index.php/downloads/komplete-kontrol-vst-packs/item/226-icarus-nks-browser-for-komplete-kontrol-maschine

I like Ana 2.0

The preset walkthroughs sound really good for this synth. Depends what you are after but I personally really liked Pigment 2 and with the update I’m really liking Pigment 3. Tons of sounds plus engines (granular, etc) are great for sound design. I may pickup Hyperion at some point also but right now pigments is keeping me busy.

Not really BFD related but I couldn’t find my answer until now about how this would affect other fxpansion instrument, so posting in case anyone else is wondering. As someone else mentioned ROLI bought fxpansion in 2016. From info below this is how they will handle other instruments and this sale only affects BFD. “The sale will see the popular FXpansion BFD drum software along with its sample libraries, and its development staff of four, move over to InMusic. The remainder of FXpansion titles, such as Strobe 2 and Cypher 2, will remain under ROLI’s stewardship.”

Yes, NI Diva price was $89.50 instead of regular $179. Found my old email i like Aiyn’s presets. They are really good and amazing for things like Trance and other similar genres. His libraries usually average $29 so at full price would put Diva at around $130 in this deal. So some discount but definitely not as good as NI deal. By the way Aiyn sells this preset bundle on his site for $85. Diva not included of course. https://www.aiynzahev-sounds.com/collections/diva

Nice update..super shady now

Distortion tuner? Hehe

I have Vr monitor. Haven’t used it as much as I would like to this is how I use it. With vr monitor you can check your mix to see how it sounds in a club/other environments or using different speaker configs like surround sound (5.1,7.1 etc) with headphones. In order to check surround sound options you need to set the output config in your DAW first and VR monitor will match. Silly me I thought, let me check surround sound with ableton but when I tried to use it in my master everything was greyed out in that section. But when i moved to logic I realized you have to set the DAW first and then VR monitor will let you use headphones to check the mix without actually using the surround sound speakers. Sienna for me is more about the environment to mix and VR monitor is more about how that mix translates to other environments and configurations. Yes Sienna does include some consumer speakers to see how mix translates like Sonarworks always included but it’s not how I use it. And yes VR monitor does include a control room environment plus Dolby ATMOS support. I have sonarworks too so as others on gearspace have pointed out, for mixing they use sienna plus sonarworks in series. Once Im all done I use vr monitor to check out different acoustics and room settings. Maybe overkill as I then play all my music on my iPhone only hahah

Agree..why pay $12 when you could’ve bought it for $600

I heard prices would be high

My buddy was in geek squad. He was one notch above being just a gamer. If he refurbished these he probably used gum, a toothpick, and some duct tape. Buy at your own risk hehhe

Windows only? They are dead to me

First thought that came to mind when I saw PA_EXT subject was pest control / exterminators. I was a bit off in my guess hehe

I’m out so can’t listen to audio examples but are these street gang vocals? Haven’t tried integrating anything like that before hehe

Great.....I was actually planning to do some work tomorrow. Now day will be shot staring at this forum all day hahah

Not sure if Greg Wells classifies as artificial intelligence haha i don’t own many but do use El Rey quite a bit and his preset set is what initially caught my attention. https://www.acustica-audio.com/store/products/elrey I also checked a couple more I had and saw presets. Anyway, maybe I’m just used to this from other vendors as it’s handy at least for me to learn. Thanks for pointing out it’s usually an exception for Acustica. I didn’t know.

Other Acustica plugs I own have nice presets that I use as starting points but I can’t find any presets on this one. Am I looking in wrong spot?

Houston we have a problem haha Buying what I don’t need is my middle name

In custom shop I see an offer to upgrade to amplitude 5 Max shown in GC cost. So seems I would be able to use GC’s for a newer release but curious as well how this would restrict me in the future. I have always focused on JP’s so didn’t even notice I had GC’s until I checked.

I really liked Gojira but with no intro sale I passed on it expecting to wait until Black Friday....my self control failed me with this sale Please don’t reach out this weekend I’m busy doing my “taxes” hehe

That did it, plus logout and log back in
