Plus all the freebies you get with it. Thanks for the recommendation. I have read that the headphone out was better, but it's also about 50 bucks more. If it goes on sale for Black Friday, I'll get it. Could you tell me whether it works via a usb c port on a laptop or not?....or does it not really make a difference? Because I've got this Usb-c port on my Dell which I never use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be no problem. It has USB C out. And comes with both USB C to C and USB C to A cable. Plus I think when checking it out (but may be wrong) the circuitry was also improved re: noise floor etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Blanc Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I have a pretty large wishlist, it's just not only for BF. In fact, I don't have the money to buy everything at once. Some i'm happy with postponing for the next year or a next sale. Some are on the wishlist more as a reminder to check them out (some Klevgrand precussion stuff for example, or the D16 delay). Some are just some cheap sample- or preset packs. Some are generic ("some Spitfire stuff if the freebie is cool"). Some are redundant (I don't really need both Rabae ánd Corey Wong from Neural DSP, I have no real use for Mathew Lane Dr. MS, I have enough alternatives for Overstayer MAAS, etc). Some are way too expensive and I will probably not get them even if they are on a steep sale (Slate + Ash Kontakt bundle, Spectrasonics Keyscape (which also goes in the redundant category)). Some will never be on sale (Valhalla plate, room and übermod, so no rush in getting them). Some are 'nice to have' but no priority (XLN Addictive drummer). The Komplete upgrade is on the wishlist but I think (hope?) that will go on a real sale during next summer). I can go on. And the end of the day, I won't be surprised if I get almost nothing this year. Software that is. On my hardware list are: PWM Malevolent, Ampeg RB-108, SOMA Lyra8 and the Hologram Electronics Microcosm. I don't expect a deal on those, but I do want them and they have priority.

Nick Blanc Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Oh and a new coffeemaker. But the model I want isn't in production anymore so I'm condemned to the secondhand market. Which isn't too bad to be honest. A first glance at the prices and it will save me about €60. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Music Software Deals Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Looking forward to picking up the Cory Wong Neural DSP amp. Last year it was 50% off I believe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclarry Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 My BF Budget is going to jumpin' on a plane...for a week long vacation to LV! (NO I do not gamble!) I just want to see it and check out the Strip! I'm going by myself...no relatives, no kids, no hassles, just little ole' me! I managed to get roundtrip air from Detroit, and 3 Nights at the Luxor, for $200 - and that included $30 a Day Food & Beverage Credit! Then for another $200 I got over $1000 worth of shows, attractions, and eats! Arrival night I'll be seeing "The Tournament of the Kings" at the Excalibur, which includes dinner! Next day I'm headed to the Hoover Dam for half the day and then attractions for the rest of the day! The next day I'll be going to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park UT, which is a 14 hr trip, and all of these trips include Roundtrip Transportation from the Hotel, and then that night I'll hit the LA Comedy Club at the Strat! I'll hit the Skypod while I'm there! Last day there is fully packed with attractions up until 7 pm, and my plane back to Detroit leaves at 10 pm. My Itinerary is PACKED! 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Hintze Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) I am looking at VSL instruments.. the free piano they have convinced me.. is the best free piano imo. the GUI is not as fancy but I actually - for the first time - do not need to change the first preset they have for it. I just open it up and play.. Edited November 7, 2022 by Peter Hintze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to get Larry's deal tips on vacations! Funny, Larry, like you, I'm no gambler. Not for any religious reasons or anything like that; primarily because after taking a class called Probability and Statistics in college I was cured of any desire to gamble (true story)! I've been to Vegas maybe three or four times, always on business, and maybe blew a total of $60 USD on slot machines! Have fun, Larry! It sounds like that should be easy to do on the trip.

Me, nowhere 😜 I got the one I was looking for, at 5 minutes from my house. I needed a specific model with the water reservoir accessable from the right side (most are from the back). And about 1/5 the retail price. Which doesn't really matter because they discontinued this model. Now I can finally make some coffee without holding the machine in a weird angle which spilled water everywhere and starting 3 times over because it got stuck in an error mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my last coffee machine died, it was terrible! I had to wait three days or so for the next one and survived on instant coffee. I don't know how I made it through. I suppose it's a testimony to perseverance. Okay, just writing this makes me want to start another cup. Seriously. Starting now.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say wait for the new Bohemian from Virharmonic, that Gorilla engine is quite remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
