Looks good. Do I need the plugins in upgrade?

Is this eligible for upgrade when 6.x comes out?

How’s does it compare?

I think I will get one. Right up my alley.

I am afraid to even ask why he’s gone. But I ain’t going to KRV and have to deal with those nut jobs there .

Sad news indeed. I picked up a few items from them over the years. I wonder what the special sale items were they claim about?

In the case of a product such as EZ Keys, where it comes in handy is when trying to figure out how to play keyboard parts for genres you don’t know that well. The Salsa and Jazz expansion were really handy to me because I haven’t the first clue how to go about approaching how to play a salsa Latino type groove on keyboard and what sorts of common progressions usually occur in those genres. Loading up a track of EZK you got some starting place and then from there move on in your own direction.

So for me, in my case. I have medium music theory knowledge. But the way I use these tools is I like to come up with my own chords and progressions but sometimes I use them to help me figure out what chords I am actually playing when adding lots of jazzy notes to them and then I use the tools to help me figure out what other places I could go to chord wise when hitting too many jazzy notes. Also helps me keep track what keys I am in.

I don’t own scalar. But I have EZ Keys. And now FL studio released a built in chord progression tool for free in their DAW and I just refer to that mostly, which I feel rendered my investment in EZ Keys a waste.

Yup. That what happened to be too. The second time I launched it died . No sounds. WTF!!

Thanks a lot of samples

Yes. This is what I notice as well. Sales are not the same as a few years ago. I am still holding out for something good in the $8 to $12 range by a major vendor. But nothing anymore. Maybe in September??

Cool. Got it.

I have most of what’s in Max and I have zero upgrade eligibility. The penalty of buying group buys.

What are “shells”?

I have a few waves I bought and most of rest is freebies. I never paid for WUP. I just keep using them as is.

It doesn’t come with the orchestral stuff. But there are quite a few versatile Kontakt instruments in there. Ricky bass and some of those keys can be used for anything.

Yup. I wish I had followed this path when I first started getting into ITB DAW. I have found that trimming down the plugins you have at your disposal improves productivity. Less options to tinker with and more time really focusing on and learning how to use well the plugin you have and what it can do.

Well well… look who is after my money again?

They always selling those old versions. Does it pay off for upgrade?

No voucher in my end.

Oh boy.. no.. I am a drum addict. Is this best price it has ever been? I fuggin love beat machines. It’s between this and that new NI expansion that came out now… where does one get that voucher from? Do you need a high priced UVI product to get those? I think I have Synsations in my account.

Waiting for a $99 deal

Anyone have any opinions on which of these sounds best for jazz, rock r&b? I use a lot of Modo these days. But was eyeing the EZB expansions.

I have no idea. But I like using WA stuff in Maschine . It’s lite weight. And generates results.
