I sometimes buy licenses for pennies second hand, leave them in the account until these coupons arrive and unlock them then. Same here. Got another 10 to activate.

ALC Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) I find this browser add-on incredibly useful during these sales: https://github.com/m36/PA_owned Install, go to https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/manage-plugins.html first before going to https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products.html. With this, I can easily see which plugins I own and which ones I don't. Edited May 27, 2023 by ALC 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I noticed most of these plugins are rarely updated. I assume they just work and stay that way. They don't force you into a proprietary installer and authorization is easy. Even getting one for free is just hoarding or one trying to be a plugin broker looking for someone naive. I understand why developers charge for a transfer or NFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) I was contemplating Noveltech's Vocal Enhancer or Character. Both have been around for more than a decade and have good reviews -- from around a decade ago. I was wondering if anyone here owns it and has opinions on it. Thanks in advance. Here's a review of it from Sound on Sound: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/noveltech-character-vocal-enhancer-native A "review" from an influencer: https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2013/2/16/noveltech-vocal-enhancer-video-review.html Edited May 27, 2023 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I still like to collect them all if I can. Lots of good ‘uns, like MagicAB, the Alpha Comp, elysia nvelope and Knifonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Okay, the other plugin on sales that has my attention, after watching the below video, is theAcme Opticom XLA-3 compressor. Any opinions on it? The compressor sounds especially good on the electric bass in this mix. Granted, it adds a ton of color, but it sounds very good for a rock bass, IMO.

Bovinator Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I like XLA-3 okay for when I want a "grabby" character compressor – more for tone and vibe. Vocal Enhancer and Character are kinda second tier okay – though I reach for VE often when I'm trying to get a scratch vocal sent out quickly – it's easy for them both to sound yuk and mid-range-y – but tweaked properly helps give the vocals presence and cut in a track quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Plugin Alliance is certainly deserving of some criticism in regards to their product model (selling features from plugins as a brand new plugin you have to pay for), their installation process is the most painless one you'll find. You don't have to use their product manager if you don't want to. If you do, removing a plugin is a simple matter of going where it is installed and deleting it. No spring cleaning on leftovers, no annoying uninstallers that sometimes don't even work and so on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia6 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Again always good to be quick with PA. Anyone else notice the under 20 selection got smaller today? Even usuals like G8 isn't in the selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything free it always pays to be quick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) The people I watch on YouTube never mention any plugins from Plugin Alliance other than Metric AB. Allot of the plugin names in Plugin Alliance have me scratching my head. I'm just thinking maybe those plugins are only good for collectors of plugins rather than something to use on a daily basis? A little help here.. What's Plugin Alliance known for in Plugins, other than the odd ball naming scheme? Edit: They also appear outdated.

A little help here.. What's Plugin Alliance known for in Plugins, other than the odd ball naming scheme? Edit: They also appear outdated. Plugin Alliance have a bunch of good plugins and generally hold their own well against the usual competition. Some of their plugins are really good, otherwise definitely more than capable in any mix. Light on CPU (mostly!), much better licensing than lots of others too. Keep in mind with YouTube a lot of it is based off kickbacks and NFR licenses for a lot of content. For sure plenty aren't as well though and people will just use what they like, or what they know. Kirchhoff sounds better to me than ProQ3, DSM V3 is very cool and more unique (although takes a little read/time to work it out), Elyssia Alpha is a very good mid/side transparent compressor and clipper. Lisa is an awesome dynamic mastering EQ. Their channel strips normally compete very well while some of their channel strips are amazing, the Lindell TE-100 is a really nice warm analogy vibe sounding EQ. There's a bunch more, these ones just came to mind right then, so these won't even be my favourites 🤣 I wouldn't base too much on YouTube, just try them out. The majority of them are more then enough for daily use by pros and hobbyists alike. That said, I do see them reasonably often by pros on Youtube, so it just depends on who you watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they compare pretty well to others. Best thing to do is demo and seee if it’s something you will use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
