EastWest Fantasy Orchestra $159.31 @ JRRShop With Code: FORUM https://www.jrrshop.com/eastwest-hollywood-fantasy-orchestra-bundle.html

I think it's because it's not purely their product. Same as OD Deedger, which has always been more expensive. And lots of developers in this space are probably thinking that Soothe got away with it, so they can. (Spoiler alert for them.. they won't with me 🤣) "Ohlhorst Digital is a brand by Jan Ohlhorst. Initially developed exclusively for his work as a mastering engineer, these well refined products are now being made publicly accessible"

With no proper upgrade, such an easy pass. I love these easy decisions. They don't even take up a fraction of a thought. Pretty sure it would be cheaper for me to buy the plugins from the bundle that I don't own when on sale. Softube = Fail on this one. Even with the loyalty voucher I haven't used from them it's still an easy no

Me too.. no guts no glory though.. gotta be in it to win it, so it was worth a shot!

Glad you got them in time and you're welcome fjz 🙂

I'd say quite a few of these will actually get quite a bit of use. They're coded by the same dev as Kiive (Eddie) and most of his own plugins and the other brands he does the coding for are really good and I use regularly. I've a only heard good things really about the Purafied plugins and seem to remember the Liquid Death Snare being good too, so it was a bit of a no-brainer for me 🙂

That's exactly why I added ⚡⚡⚡ as it's a short lived crazy deal! That $2.38 rice is correct

I get pleasantly surprised by this every time I fire it up. It doesn't seem to get a heap of praise or attention, but it can sound pretty decent really. Even better that I got it for free for owning Torpedo Wall Of Sound, which I also got from free from Audient. It even supports offline sign-in / activation.

While I would normally agree with that, I'm not too sure in this situation. It seems that most people seem to think that development and bugfixes have been pretty slow with Samplitude, so in this case it might even be the exception. They have said they have more developers / resources for it, so who knows.. time will tell I guess. I think I even have Music Maker and haven't installed it yet! We're spoilt for choices these days. Magix has often had some weird and heavy handed restrictions on some of their products. I almost never use loops, so I'm OK with restrictions on that, but if I buy something, then I always want no restrictions on one-shot samples at least. I think Music Maker might have been one of the more restrictive ones from memory, which is why I wasn't in a hurry to install.

I'm not sure really.. That branding has been around for a very long time doing similar stuff, but I'm not familiar with them. It's possible they are incorporating some of the algorithms or tech into them now though. But they have existed for at least 15 years or so it seems: https://crumplepop.com/

That's kind of what I was checking for too. It shows the upgrade prices, but not anything under downloads / orders. I wonder if it's being transitioned, otherwise I suspect if you wanted to upgrade you might be able to contact support.

Free CrumplePop Starter Pack Includes two AI-driven audio cleanup plugins that instantly eliminate plosive sounds and lavalier mic noise Basically it's just the two plugins come free via the installer / trial according to the chart on this page. https://borisfx.com/products/crumplepop/ https://vfx.borisfx.com/pro-audio

Quite a decent sounding free Delay. Not bad at all.

If they're not already iLok, then I'd just bank on them being iLok from here on out for any new/updates.

Might be worth updating the title Husker, as a lot of people probably won't realize they can use it to get free synths, etc. "Soundmorph Coupon" is more likely to get missed, or glossed over.

I bought Dust, one of their synths for free (RRP $149) pretty much as soon as I got their email earlier today! https://soundmorph.com/products/dust Pretty good offer from them really with no minimum spend. I don't know if I would've bought their synth, but I'm definitely looking forward to messing around with it. You could also get one of these for free instead: https://soundmorph.com/products/wave-warper-2 RRP $149 https://soundmorph.com/products/timeflux RRP $149 Or some of their samples / bundles.

Definitely some great options in there Cookie and also some of my favorites, with one notable exception! Well actually two really, as I don't think much of Avid either, but they are popular.. But the rest each have some that I really like and are favorites. Cubase / Wavelab are still my most preferred in their respective areas. I don't use Presonus, or much HOFA either, but I'd still regard them as a decent. That said, I'd still rate DMG Audio and Tone Projects over all of these when it comes to sound quality. Actually when it comes to features and functionality as well. Plus with no online activation component they get a further edge. The rest I could happily replace with something from my list with better licensing anyway, apart from EastWest. Orchestral in general, it's pretty hard to avoid online activation, or iLok for most of the better ones from what I've seen. I'm somewhat the same with that view and don't normally have any issues with licensing, but as soon as you can't activate and use something, then it's quality is directly impacted as it no longer works.. at all! Glad Win11 is running well for you as well. My new build is Win 11 Pro too and it's a beast. It can run a VM in the background (for internet and testing audio software instead of installing them in the DAW itself until I know I definitely want it), all while running a Cubase project, with multiple Acustica Audio plugins and no noticeable latency/drop outs when recording. That OS update thing is a bit of a worry the more software we have... again a plus for better / no DRM, but that ship has already sailed for me. My preference is avoidance and use other options where I can though.

Top tier as in audio quality, not size of company Some examples: DMG Audio Tone Projects TDR - Tokyo Dawn Records Valhalla Audio Damage apulSoft Kazrog Klanghelm u-he WavesFactory DDMF Acon Digital Audiority Boz Fabfilter SugarBytes TAL United Plugins I'm mostly sure all these are one of either A) No DRM at all, B) Serial, C) KeyFile D) RegFile and I'd rate at least something from each of them highly. It's possible that one or two of these might still query an online service (for the most part I don't think any of them do), but I'd always recommend checking before anyone buys. There are plenty of others as well. All of these have some top / best of breed plugins in their areas, with a number of them, quite a few. Things like DMG, Tone Projects, etc. are high end and more commonly used for mastering, so surprising, but great to see them also have no stupid online requirement.

Completely agreed. Not having an upgrade path (that is reasonable in price) hurts sales. A great example is Softube. They only ever gave you a credit for the single most expensive plugin you own in their "Volume" bundles, even if you owned all but a couple of the plugins from Volume. I wasn't in that scenario, but still owned a number of them. But with them giving next to no credit for that and now even removing upgrades based on owning any of the plugins altogether, I'll never buy Volume on principle. Re-buying plugins over and over to get them in a bundle price for the ones you're missing with no credit just doesn't sit right. In that time I've bought bundles from Arturia, UA (ignored UA since Signature 1 for the same reason) and a number of others. It actually put me off Softube quite a bit in general too, so I don't buy that much from them at all these days. Same with UA really..

I thought they didn't offer proper upgrade paths even to the bundles before Signature 1 though. I ended up with duplicates right out the gate early on and now have triplicates of some of them. I suspect it's just a they don't care thing as they can get people to buy again, more than trauma of bug sales.

Agreed. Great freebie and no, I doubt anyone on this forum for the most part needs another delay! But it's always nice having other options. Sometimes even just for the creative ideas they could inspire. Supermassive is brilliant. As are (I think?) all of Valhalla's plugins. Simple offline key file activation for the paid ones that doesn't require a server to be online, so as long as the software can run on future systems, then you can always activate.. Fair prices all year round with no sales tricks. No subscription BS. Great developer. Will give that vid you shared a watch too 🙂

I only gave it a very quick test and found it pretty decent sounding too,, especially for a freebie. I don't necessarily think it's all that unusual a choice either. He's probably just testing the waters and looking at expanding their offerings. Their prices are often on the higher side and they have no runs on the board when it comes to creative effects really, so a free one out of the gates might help them. I tend to skip most of their stuff as their pricing is hardly ever competitive. The stuff is OK I just never feel it quite warrants the higher prices over the competition in today's market.
