I don't know why the pace picked up so drastically, but

Not a derail! Great input for anyone thinking of jumping in the GB. 👍

 

+1. Praise helps me winnow.

The score's 90 to 89 right now, home team winning. Keep swinging, sluggers.

Don't we have 20 posts per page vs their 15?

Wondering whether IK should change the phrasing here for clarity's sake. As it looks now, people might think that if the number of participants hits 25,000 they get a 25th freebie.

Maybe something like, "And so on, up to 24,000 participants and above, which would give a total of 25 titles for the price of 1!"

Just a thought.

In case this helps anyone, a side-by-side comparison of the different flavors of AmpliTube. (Apologies if it's been posted already.)

Mine shows 417/9583.

The pace has accelerated, but will it be enough?

Seven or eight?

Eight. Ten per hour would do it. 

(Trying on optimism, seeing how it feels.)

Yep, get Thorn first and foremost. Then bx_oberhausen and maybe Knifonium or even UA Lion. 
Some fx are pretty interesting too, like bx_masterdesk, SPL Iron and Vitalizer Mk2-T, Maag EQ2 or EQ4, Elysia mpressor and Karacter, Noveltech Vocal Enhancer or the Unfiltered Audio ones. And many more. 
But don’t overlook ADPTR Audio Metric AB. It’s pretty dandy handy. 

Thanks for this (and to everyone else who replied). I ended up going with bx_masterdesk and Audio Metric AB.

Took the Hugh Padgham drums as my fifth and looking forward to using them, but the confirmation email gives the name as "High Padgham" and now I'm wondering what I'm in for. It reads like a town from Midsomer Murders.

I don't have much from PA, so I'm buying some stuff just to help out. Highest recommendations from among the sale items?

Seems a good cause. They really got walloped.

Any recommendations from among these? All the demos sound great, but any of them stand out as even better (more versatile, more extensive) than the rest?

Problem though might be getting the 4 track recordings off them? Would they need the portastudio to do that, not just a normal tape deck?

What I did, at the cost of some sound quality;

1) Connect a standard cassette deck to e.g. Cakewalk

2) Play the 4-track tape forward, record it to tracks 1 and 2

3) When it ends, turn it over and play it (backwards), record it to tracks 3 and 4

4) Reverse tracks 3 and 4 (I think I used Audacity)

That gave me all four tracks, though I may have had to do a bit of time-stretching to make them line up start to finish. But they did finally, and the process helped me appreciate again the wonders of DAWs.

Got it. Thanks, Larry.

After his death Joan discovered a whole new network she never knew he had been a part of when members of a music forum, largely in America, got in touch and had raised money in his memory.

“These people who he’s never even met, and I didn’t even know existed, cared about him enough to start a collection,” she said.

Thanks for this. Just got the Ozone Elements and DJ Swivel Spread freebies.

Deals valid through April 18.

Her email is joan.bufton@gmail.com. I didn't think to ask whether I could pass it along, but I imagine she wouldn't mind.

She gave me her PayPal, and I've forwarded it to Larry. 

The message we hoped wouldn't come.

Sadly Terry passed away on Saturday morning. I am sorry to have to give you such bad news. It was very peaceful and I was able to be with him. Which is more than many have been granted over the last year.

Thank you for your kindness. I am constantly surprised by how many friends Terry had and how kind they have all been. 

Best wishes, Joan

I just wrote to Terry's wife Joan to give her Larry's email address (with his permission) so she can tell him the best way for her to receive the funds. I also told her that if she'd rather communicate through me I'll pass along her details. Will update if/when I hear back.

A lot of good stuff at the site. Thanks for the pointer.

What do you think about passing along the money to them now? Joan and the kids could probably use it.

Message just now:

"Hi, he is still in hospital at the moment. Best wishes, Joan"

Btw I was able to make contact last month with Terry's wife Joan. She told me she'd be in touch with any news. I send her a message now and then to let her know we're thinking of them, but of course I don't press her for information. If I hear from her again I'll post right away.
