I just upgraded to AL4. I ran the Arturia installer on the background.... not only I had my DAW open, I was working on a project that contained one instance of AL3 because 1) I'm a genius and 2) Why the hell not? Well, the installation finished after I closed Reaper and after that I could not open my project. Reaper kept crashing right at the moment of loading AL. Oh boi. I had to perform open heart surgery on a copy of the project file with a text editor to manually remove AL3. Thank god everything is working OK now. Phew. PSA: Don't be like me. PS I found the Genesis pack for free in the in-app store.

From the creators of the $29 plugin, a whole bundle for $29 Geez

Issues other than pissing the s*** out off their customers last BF with their pricing strategy and language, you mean? 🤷‍♂️

I usually get WD because of their "reputation" but behind the scenes I'm sure it's all a handful of interchangeable manufacturers working for different brands

That makes sense. I have an AL license and a V 6 license registered to my account. I haven't downloaded the V 6 and don't feel like I need to because I'm not a sound designer and all the sounds I can get and tweak from AL are more than enough for me.

people can share presets easily and within the plugin, that's cool

Downloading is slow... their servers must be slammed... I'll let you guys go first

I'm reading the release notes, it doesn't seem like AL4 contains the Mellotron... bummer... we'll see, though... downloading...

No support for 32 bit systems anymore

Yep, I have AL4 registered in my account. Woot! Thanks for the heads up, ZT.

I still have my voucher. What do you guys think about the ENGL E765?

I'm interested in the U530 because I don't have enough amp sims, apparently

So buying the latest single issue gives you access to all the freebies released to date? Or just a bunch of freebies that don't contain freebies of the month from previous issues ?

Q3 is so much better than Q2, even if you're not using the dynamic features

Hey Scott, I took your Udemy course, really enjoyed it, particularly the section on EQing. Good job,man.

Use code 8DI420, except for Prophet synths https://8dio.com/

Nice roundup

The original price sounds outrageously expensive

Right... I was agonizing about getting a certain waves plugin two days ago... in the end I realized it will be $29 again soon, and who knows maybe even cheaper...

For those who are interested, you should demo these products before investing. I have Sparkle (guitar) and Phat. They sound OK. What I don't like is that it takes a while to audition all the patterns/loops/phrases and when I find something I like, it's just like "meh, I guess this will do." It obviously can't be a perfect fit. That's true in my case for all loop-based instruments, that includes NI Acoustic Strummed guitars , so it's not necessarily that UJAM makes bad products (although I like NI better). The UJAM drums have the advantage that each piece can be triggered individually*, although they don't do round robin and PHAT sounds like crap to me... haha... I started saying that they're OK and I'm bashing them now. Maybe not crap, but I don't know what genre uses drums that sound like that, it's neither a drum machine for hip hop or trap, nor a realistic sounding kit for pop, rock, etc. It's some s*** in the middle, you know what don't bother! Hahaha.... * You can't play individual notes in Sparkle.

Ditto. Check YouTube videos at least

My mind's finding reasons why I need L2 and R

I just logged into my FF account.... oh boi.... oooooh boi...

I DON'T need an API EQ!! I DON'T need an API EQ!! ... Or do I?

This is not "a bunch", this is all of them (just two or three exceptions), even VSTis and plugins I thought I'd ever see at this price (e.g. NX). This is pretty aggressive... They're trying to kill someone
