I used the 10% off code, the free bundle code and the code to get amek at $99.99. After all the discounts it came out to $27.09

I've tried that and it didn't work for me... but anyway can get the amek for 30 usd with new 29 usd subscription plan

What world are we living in... it feels that absolutely everything is corrupted... And we suppose to be motivated and create the art... right!  now back to mixing... for what I as myself.... ??

Sorry, no place for this rants here... carry on with PA deals guys!

Exactly! People who think that this will not happen to them are absolutely delusional. It being legal or not is absolutely irrelevant if authorities decide that the rule of law and individual rights are a thing of the past, which they seem to do. Get ready for widespread technological tyranny.

This is a really dangerous precedent because they can take your money and cancel you at any time for any reason if they want to.

Is that legal at all?

Only on the current PC because I still have the "pa.license" file. But I can't activate, deactivate or transfer the license to another system.

Oh man, o man... that sucks big time! Hope this gets sorted soon... It ain't fair

Thanks man🙂
 

Sure thing... there's right and wrong!!! Can you at least use the stuff you bought before from PA?

I don't think anyone cares about this situation.

Just look at this rating on Trustpilot

This is just plainly wrong! I feel for ya man!

At first the FAQ was cut off but it has been filled in now. I am sure they have thought this through but this seems a little crazy:

 

 

Exactly, that's why I said just make the plugins 30 usd and stop this hassle... some of us could use the precious production time on more useful things than fight this marketing craze... like actually properly demoing the plugins... using them as demos right away in the production, knowing it is yours for 30 usd at the end of the session!

What stops one to subscribe every time when they release something new interesting (and after demoing it) and then unsubscribe the next month so to get that ''new'' plugin for 30 USD.... ??

Why they just don't cut the c**p out of this marketing and sell their plugins for 30 USD every one of them, new old... They would have a lots of business... A LOTS!

I almost bought the 2nd copy as it was never ever before on sale!

Vocalsynth's Vocoder is pretty weak, and not that versatile. Yes, it's handy when you want a multi-effect with other non-vocoding features, but for straight vocoding Vocodex all the way. It would be like pulling up Byome for saturation distortion - sure it's got a bunch of other effects that are handy, but if I only want saturation distortion I'm going to open a dedicated plugin that is the best in its class. Having said that, I really like Vocalsynth, but not really for strictly vocoding duties.

I agree entirely and good analogy with Byome! I have a problem with iZotope plugins as they degrade the sound, like eq's limiters etc...  Haven't been using iZotope at all for like 3 years now... but VocalSynth and Trash i like for mangling duties

Use in Cubase without issue. (VST / Windows) But yes, it's only available for Mac inside FL Studio.

Thanks Carl... this info wasn't even available when I searched the product... It stated windows  & FL only

FL only, windows only.... super limited here 🙂

Must test drive the XILS 5000, XILS V+ and Waldorf Lector ...

Imageline's 'Vocodex'. No real competition. But it takes a month of manual reading to understand it. It's a very deep plugin with enormous customization and modulation options. But it sounds absolutely incredible when you get the hang of it.

Windows and FL only... No honey!

On this one it's real vocoder but only people that never tried a real vocoder thinks it's easy ...some words are crazy to be able to be heard ...

Really challenging to sing in for real ...

By the way fro the story i pointed to him the softube for him to try and he skipped it  , so do i since i needed to be in sync with what he uses ...

Absolutely... it is crazy, but great experience to use real vocoder... Lots of practising... starting with own speech pronunciation :-).

Mixes sound great and very professional... Great job Zo!
The only problem is with people who cannot sing when using Melodyne or Autotune is... one always tends to mix the vocal 1.0 -1.5 db to low 🙂

I'm mixing a guyz that is doing west coast funk gfunk electro , he's using a lot ovox (witch kills my session cpu lol) , pretty versatyle , for me sound wise i love vocal synth but it's really cpu heavy . Softube seems great if you're stricly about this sound .... in vocalsynth you can mlix diffrent type of algo witch is great , i love that airy breathy control for exemple to add to main lead to bring intelligibility to vocoded vocals ...

Great thanks Zo!

I started playing with ICARUS 2 vocoder should be serviceable... will see

EDIT... just some generic presets there

The Orange Vocoder v4 was demoed at the Frankfurt Messe in 2018, but has yet to see the light of day. Not holding my breath.

Thanks John, didn't know that... Don't think we'll see it if it hasn't been released in 4 years after that...

Hi Steve, Welcome to the club (from me here in Warwickshire UK)

Rule #1 - you can never have too many plugins

Follow Larry and kiss goodbye to that credit card.
