    Thank you Reid for posting it in the wrong part of this site.   One of these days Deals might be removed from the forum due to abuse.

     

    I never go anywhere else on the Cakewalk site.  This is the forum I go to and these are the friends I post for.  I've talked to Larry about this and he is much more about friendship than deals.  He posts the deals to help his friends. He cares about the people here.   I do too.  Why would I post for people I don't know? 

    I bet a lot of people are just like me and only come here.

    People are constantly posting informational stuff here like Kontakt updates and software updates.  It's not deals--it's just information that's useful to our community.  We want our friends to know.   For some reason, it is different when I post the same kind of thing. 

    The passing of Cory is a huge deal for this community. Historic.  We make our decisions on what a good deal is through the generosity of people like Cory and Simeon.  The idea that a good deal is the lowest price is ridiculous.  A good deal is for the best software at the right price.  

    Please let's all end the drama and continue to remember this sensitive beautiful man who helped us all so much.  R.I.P. Cory.

  2. To my way of thinking, Percussion Factory is a brilliant user interface for a Euclidean drum sequencer.  One of the best I've seen, along with the iOS Patterning app.   As such, its greatest strength is for making extremely unusual polyrhythms.  It also has a lot more instruments than this. 

     The focus of Session Percussionist is not polyrhythms but realism, as it is with the Session Guitars.   The trade-off is that you get less choices with all the Session series.  You kind of have to work with what's there.  But it sounds the most real for me.     It comes down to what you value most for your music.  What are you looking for? 

    I've learned that I can make my music work with what I can get out of the Session series, particularly when I combine them. 

    But I also could see getting Percussion Factory someday at the right price, because I like Euclidean, and it is ideal for world music.   There are a ton of Euclidean sequencers out there from various companies, from free to $150.  Falcon has three of them. It's a bare-boned feature in Beatbox Anthology.   Output's Movement.  But the user interface on Percussion Factory is so clear and easy to use. 

    But the truth is, most of the time my percussion tracks are very simple, with no more than three instruments.

  3. Oh man, this does sooo much more than Shimmer Shake Strike 2.   I'm glad I didn't upgrade to the new version. That would have cost me $70!   If there is a $25 voucher for NI this year, then the price for this is basically $75 and then you can sell it for $40 or $50 when Komplete 15 comes out.  

    I'm working on a piece right now and I'm not happy with what I'm getting from SSS or Skaka.   Among other things, they just have sounds in the high frequency range.  This has cajons, congas, djembes, etc.  If you want low end in your percussion track, you need another instrument.  And this has some slick methods for combining them.    

    For finding alternate  patterns it has some nice algorithmic features, similar to EZBass.  

    I should also say that this was created by drumasonic, which made my beloved Session Guitarist series.

     A few times in the past I have purchased a plug twice.

    In this instance I thought I owned Renaxxance so I bought the $10 upgrade, Downloaded it to my Indiginus NAS folder only to find it was Renegade that I owned.

    No Starbucks coffee today for me.🥴 

    Write Tracy Collins, Bapu.  He is a good guy and I'm sure he would give you a $49 price to get it. 

    It's really worth getting.

  6. After all the updates, IMHO it's one of the best deals in music software.  But only if you put the time in to watch the videos and really learn it.  

    It's also available on the iPad.

    SWING $230  ($329)

    SWING MORE!  $307 ($439)

    I love these two libraries.  They have saved me many a time--strangely enough I have used the non-standard stuff, like the Jazz Manouche guitars and the harmonica (used on my piece "The Cowboy Way," for those who have heard it.)

    I'm working on something now that uses a lot of Indiginus instruments,  so this sale has made me want to check out the Mandolin, Banjo, Ukelele, etc.  ProjectSAM always has a unique take on things.  

    While there are some nice solo instruments in these two libraries, there have been many brought out since this.  I think it still excels at sections.  There are very interesting ways that they do them.   And this is NOT a horn library, but an everything you need to make jazz and big bandscores: piano, drums, basses, vibraphone and so much more.  Symphobia fans will see  some nice multis.

    I recommend checking these out.  Make sure you see the instruments that are included. 

    As I think it's still on the old interface, if they ever update it like they've done so many other their other libraries 😃 you'd get it free.

    If you have World AI, you should get an email with a code for another $25.00 off, so that brings the cost down to $50.00.

    But, I agree, they need to put out a walk-through video.

     

    -Dan

    Yes, I did get that email.  But I won’t buy without a walkthrough to tell me what it offers.

  9. I'm interested in this, but they've only put up a trailer.  No walkthrough video yet. 

    They say there are 380 instruments and presets.  But they don't list them.  So, aside from being in the "fury" family of Sample Logic instruments, it's not clear what it is exactly.  As a Fury, it will have randomization, which they mention.   These libraries are a lot more bare-boned than their AI series.  

    Hopefully they will provide more information before the intro price offer ends.  Or maybe somebody will do a video on YouTube.  @Simeon Amburgey  ? 😃

    Thanks Reid for your feedback will try the demo myself  and see whatelse Audiomodern has to offer 😉

    When you demo, definitely load up the expansions, as they will show what it's capable of.   But of course it shines best with your own samples.  

    I think that this and OA are great new ways of making beats.  

    I've never gotten into Riffer or Chordjam, but I did pick up Loopmix Lite in their Plugin Boutique promo and I will buy the full one if there is a good price someday.

    Seems interesting, especially that smart feature, does anyone have experience with this plugin?

    I love it and use it a lot, but I am a big fan of the company in general.  You can get a free demo of it on the Audiomodern site to decide if it's for you. 

    This discount isn't much different from the store-wide sale of 35% off from last Black Friday. 

    If you do like it, the question is whether you want more Audiomodern.  There are many great deals on Bundles during BF.  

    I like the Audiomodern/Lunacy Audio policy of regularly offering free expansions.  Playbeat 3 comes with a lot.

    10% off with code VST10OFF

    I think the Nashville Toolkit is a good deal for people who don't have many of these kinds of instruments.  It kind of sold me, until I realized I could buy the Indiginus Delta Blues Acoustic Slide Guitar for the same $30.
