A tutorial on how to mix with this plugin

If this thing turns out to be anything as good as the Vertigo Sound plugins (the ones they made themselves,  not the ones by PA) then no one regrets taking such a blind leap.

Hardware manufacturers have a good track record in this thing of making plugins based on their own hardware. I'm talking about the likes of Kush Audio, Empirical Labs, Vertigo Sounds, SSL and even Sonnox - who used to make the Sony Oxford consoles.

The standard method of taking impulse responses we learn on the engineering course have the presupposition that  the system being measured is linear and time invariant. The problem with distortion is  that it's non linear by definition. To my knowledge Acustica has a way to overcome this in their impulse response modeled plugins. Maybe the Waves programmers are also smarter than newly graduated engineers and have a way to implement distortion sampling in Q-Clone but I don't think that's the case.

AFAIK the Waves Q Clone is completely linear. But I don't see that as a problem really for the intended use of capturing EQ profiles. 

I hope they improve the filters on the EQ.

I wouldn't have noticed the change if you didn't point it out. 

How is this even enforceable or even legal?

That means if you bought a Waves product from a reseller and somehow forget to register it before March 26 you will lose your money.

Gameboy square waves?

It has a very similar feature set to Neural Parallax, has anyone compared them yet?

The demo video for this sounds good. Will have to give this a spin.

How did you end up buying three copies of Sonar Producer 8?

Another person using Bandcamp to do things it wasn't designed for.  Could have easily stuck these on Gumroad. 

Missed this offer last time. Got it this time.

Why doesn't this work with Kontakt 6?

I thought it was short for JR Rotem.

Drambo looks interesting

It doesn't actually sound terrible.. I've heard worse from Waves for sure 🤣

It sounds quite awesome to me.

Where did you read it was analogue sounding? It didn't sound particularly analogue when I demoed it. But it's a good to average EDM synth and they keep adding tons of features. 

Corel is now called Alludo. They have a new CEO. So hopefully they will change their pushy marketing tactics. 

Those are some pretty exotic instruments. How did you find these guys?

Behringer is cursed by Andrew Huang

They have a shaky relationship with the music industry. Last I heard Behringer weren't welcome to major industry trade shows. 

The Behringer will do

Yes, but I also think it is poor from to blame someone else for not knowing who your customers are.  

I'm curious where you got the "most users" bought it somewhere else stat, I've never seen that and most post discouraged the practice as it could be more difficult to get the included freebies, etc.  Of course the Ipad versions are different and frankly wouldn't count them as included in the discussion anyway.  

What you seem to miss here is the "upgrade" price they are offering doesn't feel like a discount from what pricing used to be.  $50 was the standard app price and would go on sale for $35 every few months and even hit rock bottom of $25 for a long stretch during the pandemic.  It wsa only a few months ago they hiked up to $55 and now it is $70 at this new launch.

Charging $41 an app doesn't exaclty feel like loyalty/upgrade pricing.  The new MSRP is totally different than anything they have ever sold before.  

The standard price was $50 to draw more users to what was a brand new piece of software at the time. But this was arguably unsustainable in the long term for a tech company that is based in the UK and pays its employees decent living wages. So most people knew and expected prices to go up for version 2. And to be fair the new standard price is pretty reasonable especially for editing software that is stable, well engineered and competitive with Adobe. There are not too many other options out there apart from the Adobe Suite, and a few pieces of software like Corel Draw & QuarkXPress.

Same...

It's the same price as the intro sale.
