Congrats Satya! 🙂

I know the one you mean and from any other company I would definitely share your concern, but I would not at all be surprised if it's genuine from him. He's not ruthless and greedy like some of the companies out there and has been quite generous previously 🙂

Probably the same person in Waves that thought WUP, or subscription only, would be a good idea 🤣 For the record, I also think Knobcloud is a completely stupid name and so is CLAP to replace the VST standard though.. Haha...

Yeah that sounds insane. Being able to play it that well obviously helps as well! If that kidney sale falls through, let me know as I might know another seller.. I'd love this thing too 🤣

Was that for rating DriveMod, as I don't think you get VC for feedback on freebies?

Still haven't spent long with it, but driving the pre-amp on this thing sounds nice on synths! Albeit I feel it needs a an overall volume dial to counter that gain, besides only the mix wet/dry. But on an effect send you could just set to fully wet and then dial in as much as you want by the level on the output of that send. Somewhat like a lot of their presets, they have some crazy experimental presets and for the right situation they would be perfect. Can make it sound pretty organic and warm by driving the pre, adding some spread / wow / flutter and making it ping pong. There's a preset that is a really good starting place for that. Still need more time with it and to read the manual and check out all the LFO / mod side. For a dollar or less, I'd happily buy it again. It's already amused me enough to make it worth it for entertainment alone 🤣

Yeah a few of those seem plausible. I was almost tempted to just save the virtual cash and use it on something more expensive to avoid the risk, but the worst case scenario wasn't too bad anyway.

I've been a bit worried in the past about that happening. Did you happen to notice if it stripped it from the cart once you applied the virtual cash? Or does it stay in the cart but you just don't get it once you've checked out?

I've got it installed, but haven't had much time to use it yet. I do quite like two of their synths though, so they do make some quality software.

So I can practically turn a profit? That's my kind of deal! 🤣

I wouldn't buy it for that, but I thought it might be worth it for K7D as I had lots of fun with Imaginando's DRC synth and their FRMS FM synth. DRC has quite a nice analog'ish warm sound, so the tape delay for $0.11 (Or $1 without any PiB virtual cash) is a good deal 🙂 None of my Soundspot plugins get any use, although I do remember Union being lightyears better than that free Behringer softsynth. A few members on here praise their plugins, so some might be OK. K7D was crazy cheap during their semi recent anniversary sale too, but this was even cheaper again.

Worked fine for me. Just downloaded the trial direct off the Imaginando site and then logged in/activated from within the plugin in the DAW and entered the serial from PiB.

Not a deal: Moog launch Muse polysynth https://www.soundonsound.com/news/moog-launch-muse-polysynth

Is that code for, You DO Need It? 😜

That's exactly why I wasn't going to bother installing it and I had such low expectations. I wonder if they tweaked, or improved any of the algorithms. I don't remember Ravage sounding as good. I'm terms of rip off, I guess it depends on whether they bought the company, or just the assets (source code for their plugins), or were granted access to use the code, or licensed, or given it for free. If they didn't buy the company, then they're really under no obligation. Of course it would be nice, but they don't owe anything. There might be something in the EULA / terms and conditions for it which might shed some light, but I don't really know what they legally acquired otherwise. It didn't sound like they bought the company to me.

That's pretty rough.. I cut it fine and paid 11 cents to be on the safer side. I only did it for K7D delay and almost wasn't going to bother installing the DriveMod. It shows having to install that crappy Beatport thing, but that's not right. You're just downloading a standalone installer for the plugin and no Beatport required. Surprisingly DriveMod sounds somewhat half reasonable and a little different.. pleasantly surprised.. I may even use it! 🤣

I actually think I read that too.. sometimes it takes either the dev, or the resellers to update the info pages. That was taken directly from JRR.

Darktable had a bit of a learning curve, but I actually quite like it now and find it quick and efficient and love not paying Adobe for Lightroom instead! I did have to Google some things and watch a couple of YouTube vids though.
