You can't blame them though, they are trying to please everyone, from producers on tight deadlines with money to spend, to cheap pretenders like, never mind. But if you're patient, you can get most of the ones you'd want over the course of a few months, for less than $30. Oh, and I think most people would go to the source and take the Nembrini amps (v2), over PA's fuchers.

Just get Plini. Think of all the crap you've spent $70 on before. Enjoy your revenge!

Hopefully?!

So it's all sorted now? We're good to go?

Class A is better than Class B, unless you're driving a Mercedes. Seriously though, I think it's a matter of taste. For example, I prefer the Townhouse compressor to all their other mastering compressors, just because I love its 'color'. Demo them if you can, it's the only way to know.

I think it's the Nebrini Holy Grail. I also prefer the MRH.

I hear we'll be able to fit most of Komplete 13 on one of these.

That's actually a great idea. Maybe Larry should have a backdoor like that. Something that crashes your computer if you want to overpay for a plugin. And maybe he can partner up with Izotope, so that they'd also crash your DAW, if you kept loading plugins you thought were great, but are actually crap.

Definitely. Not a particularly warm sounding synth though. Good thing you can turn off the visualizations before getting seizures from them.

For $24.99, this has to be the best sounding sampled piano on the planet right now.

13.75 EUR? For a time shaper? That's just so unfair.

In the current context:

Yep. Stillborn.

Well, well, a gathering of spies... (it so happens that I also worked in a restricted environment, with an appropriate security clearance). Generic and security-focused apps have very different risk models, so it's no big deal and a fact of life that you'll get false positives. On one hand, large software companies look at the big picture - technical/development/cost advantage vs increase in the overall probability of new vulnerabilities being introduced into the system, while security-centered companies view the latter through a very low risk acceptance threshold (e.g. if you pay for your antivirus and you end up losing all your data because of a virus, you won't care much about the fact that the prior know vulnerability of your system through the protocols allowed by their software was lower than 2%; rightly or wrongly, you won't buy their product anymore). I would suspect this analytical framework covers everything, including backdoors (so it would still benefit them to use heuristics to flag potential backdoors, until the details of particular exploits are better known and/or to anticipate unknown threats). Anyway, I love Plini. If it has a backdoor, I'll probably wake up one morning to find my S-Gear presets sounding like Amplitube 3. There'a heuristic for you!

Kind of silly if we don't get the loyalty voucher in time for this. But... I get PA, they're trying hard not to become Waves 2 (price-wise, nothing wrong with Waves), you can't fault them for that. They do reward patience with great deals on some great plugins.

It's those delicious cookies. Clear them, or access it in Incognito mode, it'll work.

Hmm, 1 from Russia and 1 from Ukraine? Maybe they flag imperialist capitalist plugins and they're only happy with the slimmed down, protection-free, FSB approved backdoor-ed, cracked versions.

Here's our very own king's $25 voucher, if you want to grab something quickly with it before it expires: 2020-08-25-QD5YB Now, I hope PA is listening: The People passed on buying their highly touted EQ for $14.99. Not to worry, my credit card will (again) come to their rescue first thing in the morning, once I get that 'Yearly MEGA Bundle offer for $19.99'. I'm not really into automatic renewals, but ok, FINE.

It's probably just me, and I'm sure it's awesome, but I think the last time this UI was 'incredibly fun and addictive' was in 1992.

Better not get it then. If we start buying plugins that cost 75 EUR on a sale, after we demo them and 'we don't know what to say', we're doomed. Really, that'll be the end. Scientology level stuff, with hydrogen bombs dropped into volcanoes.

Now $25 cheaper with a voucher from The King!!! 😃 I grabbed Larry's $25 voucher when he kindly offered it a few days ago, but I forgot about the 'one voucher of a certain value per account, per month', so I couldn't use it. Then I forgot to pass it along 👹 Hopefully not to late for someone who wants to grab this nice EQ. Just PM me if you need it. I LOVE their freebies, they're awesome. I use the EQ and the compressors all the time.

If you prioritize for clean sounds, up to crunch, Plini sounds best to my ears, and is the more versatile. If you want a wider range of sounds, more high-gain modes, Nolly is definitely more versatile overall, and also has nice cleans, as Zo pointed out. So if overall versatility is the goal and you're only going to get one of their plugins, Nolly probably makes more sense. Compared to Nembrini, Neural DSP's stuff is far less transparent. Their amp sims do a lot of heavy-handed tone shaping that you can't really configure (even if you turn off all the effects, and use your own IRs); that's the penalty for those great mix-ready sounds. In turn, the Nembrini amp sims are great to play around with - custom IRs, third party effects, comps, EQs, you can use them in so many ways.
