Soundwise

They should work with your EZKyes 1. Just make sure to check system requirements for each library.

I highly recommend Reaxis. Enormously versatile, capable of recreating easily recognizable legendary tones as well as dialing your own signature sound.

Updated.

Still there.

Tomorrow is here, yet certain things cling to the past.

I've been using it since v2. It's not the DAW, it's the set of mind I have. Oh, it's also some irritating bugs that turn me off.

Upgrade, that's gonna last for ... how many? Six months? One year? That is, before the next major (paid) upgrade comes out. Still not convinced with the workflow. Anyway, the best price I've found so far: https://www.thomannmusic.com/presonus_studio_one_6_pro_ug_1_5_pro.htm?reload=1

No clue, sorry. If this product is important, I'd suggest to carpe diem.

Best Service have boosted the offer with a free product of your choice, which makes TT upgrades look a bit more attractive. Not sure if the same offer applies to other products, though.

Or the other way around, since this thread is a bit more informative (includes extra discount code).

Any idea how long this is going to last? Literally a week? I've been eyeing their Speaker Shaper plugin, hoping to get a better deal. $49 is acceptable but not very inspiring.

Thank you! This software looks awesome. I just don't want to mess with myriads of IRs and that's the main reason why I want this plugin. Other than that, I'm all set with cab-sims. 😊

Finally got the Studio. For slightly over $80 it's an instant buy.

More often than not it boils down to proper IRs. Amp-sims of major developers are in the ballpark. PA IRs never really impressed me. Some are usable at best, bust most of them don't deserve any attention. I suggest to try whatever amp-sims you have with other IRs first, before you decide to invest in a new toy plugin.

My wishlist: EZBass, EZKeys, Melodyne Upgrades, Softube Speaker Shaper.

Too bad I didn't check Thomann. Could've saved 10% off the price.

I've upgraded form K11 to K14U just yesterday and don't regret it. Quite a few mind blowing libraries that are new for me and on top of that they also provide Ozone Standard 10. ATM, I'm trying to decide whether AR Drummers and Studio Drummer are worthy of SSD space. 😁

I wonder, what happened to Peter IK? Where is he?

I wonder if Engine works with Magix Independence library. There are some excellent brass patches that sound awesome and are easy to program.

That's a steal! Nomad plugins are easy on resources and sound great.

How come, you see €70, when I see $60?

AFAIK, no. Some advanced features require either Pro or Plus version.

I have upgraded to v4 Pro for around $70. Apparently, since v5 release, 30% is the maximum discount. Currently, I have v6.5 Artist with lots of goodies from previous Pro. And the only difference, besides Atmos and Project Page, is the lack of Chords Track and Score Editor, which is not something I can get easily my hands on anyway while in exile. For those who don't need aforementioned Pro features, Artist version should be sufficient.

Five presets doesn't seem like a lot, but the sounds are plug-and-play, no need to dial a good tone. Even effects are ready to go. Perfect! Thanks to Overloud and Choptones!
