    Not stirred. 

    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

    Just checked my email and seems it launched back in October 2020 so I guess this is a best service new addition rather than a new product.

    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.

    Would you spend the $99 on this or Pigment 3?

    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.

  4. 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.”

  5. 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.

  6. 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

    Acustica has never made the typical presets for their eq's, comps. strips.. Recently they started making Artificial Intelligence presets on a few of the models.

    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.

    Where can I find info about the restrictions? I've always been tempted to buy GC but I'm worried I'll regret it. Wouldn't be very useful to me if they can't be used on new releases.

    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.
