paulo 2,132 Posted January 23 Having spent some more time today with the demo of CE I'm still struggling to find a reason to buy something cheap that I don't really want just to get it "free". Am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I missing something? I guess it depends how you look at it. If you’d jump at the chance to get Carbon Electra for $5, why not buy something you won’t use for $5 to get Carbon Elektra for free?

Am I missing something? Hi paulo, here is my opinion: You are not missing anything. You did your "homework" and demoed it.If it does not add anything useful to your music production, then do not get it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Figured that I'd give it a second look, but came to the same conclusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abacab 1,988 Posted January 24 (edited) If you are dying to pickup a good virtual analog synth this weekend, I would instead hop on over to Waves and pick up Element 2 for $29. https://www.waves.com/plugins/element#future-trap-bass-element-synth-tutorial Deal ends this weekend! I picked that one up on sale a while back, and it's now among my top 3 virtual analogs! Edited January 24 by abacab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you actually tried it? The expansions are not in the demo, so I can't say anything about them, but the demo version itself really doesn't have much going for it. The only thing I liked was how easy it was to mix in a little white/pink noise which was just as well as it needed that to improve most of the sounds a little. If anyone else tries it, be aware that the default volume setting for most presets is louder than hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just spotted it as a way of getting Carbon Electra and getting another synth into the bargain. Lots of expansions so better value again. Possibly worth a punt for both for princely sum of $16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
