$19 seems like a great price for a plugin like this, assuming it works as described. How many of you have tried it? Is there anything similar?

On the site, it says: Our Licensing-System supports two modes: Floating & Locked. The default is Floating. While your license is floating, you can transfer it between your machines as often as you like. But this requires internet access. If your studio workstation does not have internet access or do not want the plugin to connect to our servers each time it's loaded, you can Lock a License to your machine. A locked License cannot be transferred to another computer. You can read more about how the licensing system works he

I don't know if they have put Ancient World on sale before. Maybe. $139.97, when it is normally $199.95. Very interesting Tarilonte-type thing that has instruments you can't find anywhere else. In terms of sales, I've been shopping for the 'Unusual Percussion Samples" library to use with XO. I really have the impression that Big Fish raised the price for the sale. I think it was $10 or $11 and it is now $13.46. I'm not sure, but anyway, it's $9.83 at Loopmasters.

It's the first time I've ever seen an NI sale for 40% off when you can also get 40% off on the developer's website at the same time. It's also the first time that the Big Deal includes an NI Komplete product. I suppose Spitfire wants to expose their brand to a much larger group.

I believe that many of the sounds that come with XO are from Addictive Drums.

Well I'm sure we can all use some more Taikos.

I wonder what's the Damage is going to be for this product?

i got the demo and have been having a lot of fun using samples of various noises and world instruments. It's amazing how quickly it can make beats out of door slams, trash can lids and the like. Also a good way to use all my world music one-shots without using traditional rhythms. I'm very tempted. Anybody know how long this sale is going to be on? I'm wondering if it will still be on by August 1st for the new PluginBoutique giveaway.

Is it possible to drag your own MIDI files into it?

Also, the first version of Shortnoise is free. It's always been one of the most impressive freebies out there. 6 GB of content vs !0GB for the paid one. https://vstbuzz.com/freebies/shortnoise

They encourage you can follow them on social media, but they didn't even bother to set up Facebook or Twitter accounts. Suspicious? There is a legit site called SimpleLife, but not SimpleLyfe.

Here's what I LOVE about ujam. They don't care about convincing you that they've created some specific piece of analog gear. It's not this particular drum set, guitar, or bass, or effect. When I am writing a song, I try every electric bass I own for the bass part. Some work, some don't for my particular track. When I am doing that it doesn't matter if the basses are modelled or sampled recreations of some legendary bass. All that stuff no longer matters. The only thing that matters is which bass sound works best with all my other tracks. And ujam stuff sounds great. And their approach to AI works better for me than EZBass, because I am more of a player than a programmer. If you look at what the future is going to be for EZBass, it's going to be a LOT of extreme spendage. Buy, buy, buy , buy. There are so many famous basses. But ujam is just saying; use our four basses and you can handle most of your needs. And they provide regular upgrades at reasonable prices, with new features and MIDI patterns. When is the last time Toontrack ever contact you and said there would be more MIDI patterns in their genre packs? There's a lot to be said for both approaches, but I lean more towards ujam for basses at this point.

Sorry oh King, but this link takes you more directly to Lofi Dreams https://www.uvi.net/en/falcon-expansions/lofi-dreams.html

Damn! That was a great deal on the upgrade to Reason 10! 🤬

I haven't seen this at any of the discount stores yet.

You made me laugh out loud. 😄

Looking forward to demoing these. Audiofier is one of the most amazing developers out there. I must admit though that for some reason they are the company I own the most products from and use the least in my finished songs! 😄 But I love playing them! I can't wait until they come up with a deal on the Riffendium products I don't own yet. I love Riffendium.

There is only one King. He is back and fie on this pretender!

Welcome home, Larry. You were missed.

The two Sonible EQs are my go-to's. I like that I am fully in control, but they give me a starting point better than anything I could do myself

One of the things that I have always found odd about T-RackS, is the complete lack of even one digital delay. It's such a basic thing. They have so many compressors and EQs, limiters, mastering devices, three reverbs--but not a single digital delay. If you think of Soundtoys or any of their competition, you can see how big an omission this is. I don't think you can even call T-RackS fully featured until they cover this very basic category. The only previous delay in T-RackS Max is their Vintage Tape Echo. An extremely niche product. So now another vintage device, one which has been modeled tremendously well by everybody from AudioThing to Arturia. I'm sure they will do it well too, maybe even better, but it's not like we need it. You can paint any picture on top of a plugin and make it look analog, but the truth is--it's digital. And if you have a first-rate digital plugin that can be configured a billion ways, you can have presets that will sound like that particular vintage device. Why do it this way? The answer is... marketing. People want to feel like they "own" the gear they desired when they were kids. So you can sell more plugins. IK does do the nostalgia thing very well with their plugins, but, aside from their amazing Black 76, the T-RackS I use the most are the ones they've designed themselves. Like the reverbs and ONE. They have the skills to create things better than anybody. I hope this signals that they will get into digital delays because I'm sure whatever they come up with will be great.

The Atsia Percussion and Silk Road Percussion are really good. I own a lot of expensive world percussion libraries and these totally stand up. They are often available separately in the $3-$5 range. At that price, it's about a good a deal as I've ever seen offered for a first class virtual instrument library. FYI, if you have iLok. you can demo any of these "SONiVOX Singeles" from the SONiVOX site. Because I like Atsia and Silk Road so much, I have demoed a few of the others, but never bought any. It's interesting to hear that there are some other gems in there, and it doesn't surprise me.

Every day, I go into Google and post the secret codes FORUM and GROUP, but so far it hasn't brought either of them back. 🙁

You could write them. I corresponded with a guy there name Russ, who may be Mr. Monkee. I made some suggestions about Groove Agent, which he took. Very nice guy. But Groove Agent just uses pretty standard MIDI files. EZBass uses very proprietary ones. It remains to be seen whether they would give out their code to others. How many third party EZKeys expansions do you know of? And EZKeys is a much, much simpler instrument than EZBass. I would guess that if you dragged these files into EZBass they would sound great from the beginning, as they have the timing and velocity that sounds like a real bass. But then... you could take them a lot further with the unique EZBass articulations. Having said that, there's no reason why Russ couldn't do the same thing. But Groove Monkee is a company that just sells MIDI recorded directly from real players. EZBass is an instrument meant for programming, in my opinion. MIght be more work than the payoff.

This is sounding like something that's not worth downloading. Too much hassle? Or worth it?
