20% off 80% off. Anyway, not everything is 80% off anyway and lots of prices have been cheaper many times before. Not to mention the 80% off + 70% off glitch sale.

Dang when did I miss the Nembrini glitch sale? See this makes the case for why I should come here every day. I did though get in on the Cinesamples glitch sale and scored Voxos for $90 after tax. I need to make sure to come here every day of my life, several times a day, for the rest of my life.

I mean I haven't tried it yet, but 80% off plus 20% off? Isn't that free? Or is it 20% off the total that you're left with after 80% off? That must be it. 

No it's probably 80% off the main price and then 20% off the main price, but not 100% off the main price lol

I can top that.

EXTRA20

Lol what? 

What can replace something like Waves' Ovox? Not saying one way or the other that that program is earth-shattering, but what out there can replace it?

No, I don't have that, but I have the Strezov's Freya and Wotan.  I think they are similar?  

Yeah I'm watching a Voices of War walkthrough and the dude wasn't able to sell me on it especially now that I have voxos

I heard about the glitch, but I have pretty much everything I want from Cinesamples until you mentioned this.....  

I couldn't resist that.  thanks!  

Yeah Voxos is the only one I picked up this far and probably the only one I'll get. What about voices of war, do you have that?

CinePerc is available again so all the bundles are as well. At this point it is pretty safe to say this is not a glitch, or if it started as one, they're sure embracing every bit of it.

What else is a must have out of there? I don't have a ton in the way of orchestral stuff, but then I don't really make that kind of music. But as a composer you never know what you might be called upon to do. I know I have EW Hollywood Brass Diamond. I'll have some percussion in Kontakt factory library, but. I'm just wondering if it's a good move to grab Cineperc and maybe something else that normally costs several hundred dollars lol

BTW: I already regret my impulse purchase of CineStrings Solo. I was like OMG GLITCH!!! and jumped on it after hearing 5 seconds of a demo, but actually testing the library myself, it's pretty clear I will have little use for it because all the strings sound like they were recorded for the next BBC medieval drama.

Buy responsibly.

Do you have have Cineperc? I don't really make orchestral or trailer music but I've been trying to justify getting it though I don't know what I'd use it for

I think they are all the same price via the glitch, so the higher the usual price the better the deal, with the Perc being a standout. Some are cheaper to buy in the normal way.

Yeah. Like I wanted Cinepiano, but @ $81ish, while that's a good deal in and of itself, relative to this glitch where you can get a $500 library for $81ish it's not a great deal. I grabbed Voxos and I'm gonna stop there. I cleaned up on that Sampletekk piano deal a little while back where all those pianos were like 90% off, and I haven't checked them out yet but I got like four or five pianos out of that deal and I'm probably doing okay in the piano department for now to pass on Cinepiano for $81ish. 

Cinepiano e.g. isn't the best deal ever @ $81ish as it's  normally $200, but Voxos choir is a good deal @ $81ish as it's usually $500

Heck. Life’s a sub. 

Well dang, if you're gonna look at it along them lines, I'd say life is more like Cakewalk's "Lifetime Updates": you 'buy in' for life and then it dies on you unexpectedly and before too long, taking all you gave it with it. You didn't see it coming, but someone up there knew all along. To top that off; even if you could look back on it all afterward, you'd only see that every day above ground was a pyrrhic victory. 

This thread is tl;dr.  But if I understand correctly what's happened here, Subway has cancelled the $5 foot long. Bottom shelf sandwich anyway. 

Is it still impossible to place orders w/ these guys online using your phone? Because I got real frustrated last year trying to place an order on a deal they had and there was no way to do it on the phone, no way to put the product in your cart or to check out and other people here confirmed that, that you could do it on the computer but not on the phone internet. I don't remember the last time I even surfed the net on the computer. They should fix that if they haven't. 

That thing mocks me. I hate it. It's an abomination. Burn it. 

Why would Cory do that. Even worse, why would he post that he did that (acquiesce to 8dio in deleting his critical videos so he could get free stuff from them after what he said they did to him). I also listened to Corey's 4-year-old video about his experience with 8dio threatening to sue and libel him, and how that "crushed" him and made him unable to work for a while due to the emotional anguish. Idk I guess everyone's different in how they deal with stuff, and I know it's not good but I've tended to harbor grudges personally and I certainly wouldn't be making up with a company regardless of what free stuff they offered. 

Maybe I'm just exhausted from a long Christmas travel week w/ the fam but that description is TL;DR. I still don't know what it does.

Well, the purpose of the joint is to sell that stuff.

I want to hear that story!

I was never rowdy enough to get kicked out of a bar, but I once came early to a club my band was playing at without my license and the bartender refused to serve me even though there were posters up with my picture in them right behind where I was sitting. The bartender argued that the guy in the poster had facial hair and I didn't (I pointed out that it is possible for people to shave, but he was not persuaded). Fortunately,  someone at the bar knew the band and confirmed I was the guy in the poster and disaster was averted (I got my drink!). 

I simply showed up to the bar w/ my own bottle. The more I drank from it, the less I tried to hide it. I mean I saw a guy in there eating a sandwich from Subway and I can't bring my own bottle?

Lawajava's in Kenmore or Bothell. dubdisciple is in Auburn, or thereabouts. DeeringAmps is in the South end, Tukwila maybe? I'm in Everett. None of those are within the Seattle city limits, though.

Now, there is a longtime user named jkoseattle, but I could be reading too much into that handle.

Yeah I knew you were in Everett. Last time I was in Everett I got kicked out of a bar, some bar out there that's known for having a train track that a train comes barreling down just a few feet behind the building. In a couple years the light rail should be able to get me back out there to that bar to finish what I started.

Happy holidays from Pioneer Square Seattle! I'm the only one on this forum in Seattle.. prove me otherwise..

They stopped sending me these some time ago. I guess in their projected thinking I've been disloyal. But I remember how it used to be.. nearly 3 years ago when we were all getting real clever w/ the vouchers, and I discovered kvr's buy/sell section during the same time and.. it was good while it lasted. They changed up on me, not the other way around.

That was a cool track actually. I liked the guitar and that dude's vocal. I read the bio.. where are you and Mr. Brennan from?

Apologies to the OP for drifting off-topic. To the topic, I'll add just three observations:

• saturation is used too often, is applied too heavy-handedly and rarely makes anything actually sound better
• many plugins that purport to be saturators actually do little to nothing, or aren't even saturators
• if you're intent on using a saturation plugin, use a freebie like GSatPlus so at least you're not out any money

How do you use saturation and what's your favorite one, assuming you do use it?

Thanks @aidan o driscolliI I had gotten the dobro and got the 12 string this time. I'm a guitar player and refuse to use guitar libraries but  those specific two I can use to layer w/ sounds to make cool patches w/ good sounding plucked sounds. I already got OT's Mandolin during their group buy so I skipped that one here.
