can't tell whats on sale, all seems full price. Nothing mentioned on that Instagram either? EDIT: Just got an email, says 'big deals are coming' so guess not live yet

Yeah very true, but at least algo devs have to go through the process of coding. Acustica just sample a unit and its done. I guess you're right though, thats the plugin business throughout and I'm just having sour grapes 😂

I used to love Acustica but the love affair has soured over the years. Just seem to be on a money grab all the time. Also the ethics of the thing, Behringer gets slammed, rightly so, for making money off the backs of designers who have toiled for years designing stellar equipment only for Behringer to clone it 1:1 and make a tidy profit. Doesnt Acustica do exactly the same thing? Sample other peoples hard work for profit? I’m probably just in a bad mood and at least these filters are their own box they’ve built and sampled

€39 for filters is a bit daft

very interesting utility plugin by description above, will test

Bought, so many use cases. I used to use FXteleport a while back but that was 32bit. Not heard of ones above but I trust Blue Cat plugins and they are pretty robust

meh. Dont understand these emulations, can't push them into distortion. Too subtle for me

https://www.tbproaudio.de/products/ablm also very good, there’s a free one for reaper if I remember EDIT: just seen price of 49E, seems high for a utility plugin. Stick with Gainmatch, so good

According to Gearspace thread, extra 10% with code NOISEASHDISCOUNT10

I wouldn’t do this, have tried in the past and led to a lot of minor issues like plugins deauthorising, etc. Not worth the hassle. Acustica should really only give user option of downloading sample rates they want, massive bloat the current way

Yeah rubbish sale

Acustica and associates have done the meanest Christmas sale in a while. Prices have been waaay cheaper before

Wow, I haven’t bought a waves plug-in in years as hate the installer and activation but I’m all in at this price 😅 just picked up OVox, sweeet

Warning to Mac users that this does not work too well apparently, I’d check their forums first, seem like a lot of complaints. I bought this years ago and started using it again (on windows), I kind of like it but fills always sound really fake. Much prefer a decent midi file played by a real drummer instead

Gave this a try but I have no idea what I meant to be hearing, just sounds like different degrees of muffled sound. I think just for people with Atmos system to see how it translates on headphones or something, very small target audience surely??

I just bought Zebra after years of ignoring it and I love it. I used to get put off by workflow but sounds it can get are amazing . I bought Pigments same time too but have barely used, sounds a bit ‘cheaper’ compared to zebra. Early days yet though, I’m sure Pigments has depth

I urge people to try their guitar pre-amp sims, CPU hungry and a bit clunky but amazing realism. As its just a pre-amp, for authentic sound it needs to be paired with their PowerCabs product which uses Nebula player and so rules out live playing (too much latency). Regular cabsims work fine though

same, better hum removal was about all i read

I've actually gone down the rabbit hole of DIY hardware gear, lots of fun! I have a more hybrid workflow now and stick with Nebula libraries and quality algos along with hardware. I got sick of having to freeze tracks using CPU hungry Acustica plugins too

I’ve sold a lot of my Acustica plugs but will never sell Gold, lovely Neve sound. Not sure how much it’s on for but it’s a winner. Out of your list above, water and viridian have a lovely vintage coloured sound too

Aberrant DSP shapeshifter or sketch cassette , tons of character! Beat out a lot of more expensive plugins easily for me https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/8-Compressor/7021-ShapeShifter

Yeah I picked up Sienna for that price yesterday

Day 2? I don’t understand, these are same prices as yesterday

Very tempted with Kelvin but I think I’ve got to the point where all saturators I try sound the same and I’m just buying new GUIs 😳

So does u-he do Black Friday? Can I combine this voucher with that or is this the best there is. On a google search I saw there was a sweet holiday sale last year through NI EDIT: KVR answered that coupon can't be combined with sales. Will wait for black friday
