Ha! That's awesome. Let us know your thoughts after you jammed with it.

Hi, Eyal

Thank you for visiting us and caring about our opinion

I played a little bit with plugin and have some first impressions if you are curious but please do not hate me for some notes.

I understand how much work requires creating of plugin and its lib but it requires some polishing.

I run a bass loop and checked different settings. I used Cakewalk by Bandlab of course

And first boomer is when changing presets or most of settings to check sounds during playing a loop there are some glitches/clicks. It would be nice if switching were smooth without unpleasant sound artifacts.

After some presets/settings checks I turned off all FX/amps/tone etc to check pure sound and also test some external amps.

Secondly I think the lib needs a little bit tuning. I seems to be a little above standard 440Hz. I used tune option to down it a bit (about -16  ) but still some intervals were a little not nice. Probably some batch run over samples with basic sounds would do the trick.

And the third thing which bothered me was kind of death sounds on lowest string on some notes.

Please take a look at pictures below and wav file. Velocities of notes were not spread  very wide. Played by plugin on the 5th position, all amps/fx/etc turned off.

Record 11 (290).wav

But overall I would be interested the plugin especially with current no-brainer price. Just hoping its improvements are still in plans

That's a great video, and is a better demo  than the official ones, as it shows several ways to apply the features in order to get authentic bass voices from the keys.

Oh, yeah... And it pushed me to schedule download of the lib

Wow, seems to be lots of Wave hate here. I don't really care one way or the other but, love 'em or hate 'em, no one has gotten fired for using Waves plugins.

Hmm, why you feel it is hate? 

 I like zylion of their plugins. And also have a huge amount of them. But does it means I should love everything they made?

Some of us were just not impressed by bass sound in demo.

I believe we have just heard better sounds (including real bass I didn't notice any hate to Waves itself here

I absolutely love Waves. Thanks to them 29$ revolution started. And not only all their plugins are since then very affordable but also from their competitors

I have an Ample bass that only takes up 5GB for the library, and it sounds very authentic.

It's hard to imagine what you are gaining with 15GB.

I am afraid there is no such linear relationship. Not always much more space used for samples mean better quality about overall  instrument sound.

For instance they could have sampled at much higher sample rates but done using worse instrument, less compressed or less detailed about articulation, etc...

Also sometimes demos could be overcooked (like presets) and instrument can sound decently by itself.

Well, anyway as always there is possibility to test any Waves plugin to check by oneself.

I am struggling with myself if test it or not.  But little afraid. GAS syndrome often tell me buy something actually I don't need, have better alternative etc.  Just because there is a great deal...

But well, the best deal one can ever do is to save money and not to buy anything what will not be used anyway... 😕

Based on previous OTS group buys, what to expect from the eventual next one? Price range? How many libraries possibly? Rules etc? Thx

Take a look here:

https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=506796

Almost about year ago on 21.06 OTS started group buy for 2018      Maybe we are close to group buy for 2019?

I am a suscriber since almost 1 year. With Slate Digital bundle, ozone, free TDR and stock plugins I have all I need for my mixes and mastering. I can't think of a mixing situation not covered with those.  You can set up your studio with top level professional tools for only $14.00 monthly... it is amazing.

Yep, exactly. And they are adding more and more to the bundle. Those plugins from kilohertz are kind of opposite direction than primary Slate's. Not emulating any specific gear or using gear-like gui but versatile and you can multibandly build what you need. They  complement perfectly each other

And what's worth to mention you are not bound by big investment, you can just break or suspend at any time and return whenever you want.

Tough question....

Do I REALLY..... Need 31102 Eqs...

Or can I go with the other 31101 I already have  😀

Of course, Sergio   This one is special

And remember not to skip # 31111 as it will be absolutely unique

I listened to the demos when I saw the email.  I thought they did not sound good. Very synthetic.

 

I was afraid I am alone here not really impressed with sounds in demo

This is kind of wow thing for people who do not hate ilok (cloud or dongle)...

They added for free Kilohearts Bundle, access to Slate academy with some of interesting courses and ANA 2 synth.

I am not sure what is more strange... There are created again and again zylion of new compressors or we are still buying more and more

No more Softube Tape then, eh?

Softube tape is one of very few (or maybe the only?) tape plugin which really integrates with Studio One. So for S1 users it could be hard to beat

I am wondering what would be result of blind tests of different tape emulators used in full mix (keeping in mind final result not setting knobs to the same value).

I downloaded and made a Win 64 build (vst2/vst3/stand alone).  Seems to work, doesn't have any presets though so I have no clue how well it works/etc.  Download it here.

Did you check VST2 or VST3 version?

Common issue for many manufactures (like PA for instance) is kind of bug if using plugin container to provide presets they are not shown in VST3 but working in VST2.

Great to have you back, Larry

@msmcleod Yeah I am going to get use to it too, eventually!!

 

@Piotr How did you get the dark look? What skin is that? Carbonite? (That's the one I use. ) How well does it work? I am thinking and hoping I can use the Carbonite skin and not fiddle around with the knobs and sliders and I maybe ok.

Yep, as msmcleod mentioned, it is just default neon:

It’s written ´Your plugin of the month’ with the 49$ price.

Yep, the same here. To be funny I got email from them with heavy hitter discount down to  ... $99

But when logged in got $49 with plugin of the month annotation close to price as below:

Not having byome.

Has anyone went with the new '13' update?  They have a new 'Look' and am wondering how everyone is liking it?

It seems they have decided to use /Sliders, Buttons, and knobs all together in the new 'Look'. With that bright color scheme that everyone seems to be moving to. And only some of the alternate skins work with it. They are saying that the skins that don't work ain't high on the priority list of things that will get fixed. To me this means "You will take it and like it!"

[...]

It is not bad. I like it more than the previous one.

I cannot explain exactly what I do not like with the 3.x versions, but I have downgraded to the 2.x versions with what I feel more comfortable!

I don't like those inaccurate new controls on the main panel (reminds me of Facebook and Google) and I feel that they included too many things/functionality in the new version. I just need a guitar or bass Vsti, not an every purpose plugin, where I always have to check whether I have disabled all the superfluous stuff! IMHO they have overshot the mark considering instrument plugins for DAW use. To me it looks now more like a standalone play tool!

Well, I can say I don't like very much the new virtual keyboard which replaced piano keyboard. That thing kind of 'modern' approach decrease in fact comfort of using what is used in real in music.   Just like fancy chess figures. They look funny and interesting at first glance but make chess unplayable.

So I stopped to upgrade and also using  ver2.

Piotr,

I'm glad it's all available for you in T-Racks 4 Max

Thanks, Jesse, me too

In fact the collector syndrome is bothering me to have nicer, newer etc (and maybe lack of answers whatever they would be from IK
I can just use TR4 modules at will (and lots of variations from other manufacturers for the same gears).

And keep my money for other things so while I don't feel it right now I am probably happy because of it

@Piotr Well I can tell you that the Leslie in Amplitube sounds pretty dang incredible! IF you get a chance to throw that in your bag in one of the sales, don't miss out. The amps that come with the Leslie Collection are worth it! Put them in line with a clean amp, or put a pedal in front of them..... they sound really good!

Thanks, Grem. Maybe one day I will.

At the moment as you can guess , I am not in the mood to think of buying more things from IK.

@jesse g but I think he already has all the plugins from the BOGx Free. So he wouldn't miss anything that I  can see.

Yep, true I have all modules from TR4MAX + new 4 for TR5. I don't have Leslie but I don't  need it and if I am not wrong isn't part of TR5MAX anyway.
Just wanted to upgrade some experience  with using them.

But I can live  with TR4MAX forever it is not end of the world if they don't need my money if I am not finding their upgrade proposal worth of price.

What is really make me sad that manufacturers are not so eager and helpful for some topics.

It was my another attempt just to ask. And the same result in fact. Silence.  Previously got  reference to web page where there is an offer... well, already described before.

I am not demanding anything. Trying to find a way to give them some money.

I like their stuff anyway. I have full Amplitube4 MAX,  TR4MAX and ST4MAX.

But maybe because I have most of their soft flag things they don't need me anymore??

Is their stuff good? 

It is really not bad especially considering their unbeatable prices.

But to be sure it is working for you the best is to demo it.
