I'd buy if I didn't already own it.  

One of my top 3 saturators/distortion plug ins.  Also works in Modular(big deal to me) and Amp Room.  The add on's are also great.  

 

But yeah, $90 on sale can be a bit much for some.

Out of curiosity, what are the other two?

I've thought about this one a few times but I believe they have now changed thr installer and online checks for it and it requiring an always active connection, etc. Think I'll give it a miss now.

I do wish they would abandon WUP ?

Thanks! But too late, I grabbed the W495 although I had already a bulk of EQs/strips that I probably never use! ?

Welcome Sistine and still not a bad EQ though. Pulsar stuff is pretty good.

I do agree that's sometimes plugins can get lost in the sea of all the others though ?

Regrettably it was not possible to get another copy of PolyMAX (2 additional iLok seats), if you already have it in your PB account!

You can, you just need to email them to do it as you can't automatically.

I still haven't received my license yet. Starting to get a feeling that I'm not getting one at all

Shame, because I was starting to get relly excited about trying out these plugins.

I've had a few with Plugin Boutique that took a good 24 hours or more. They probably got a run of people buying that item. Fingers crossed for you and don't give up just yet ?

Did anyone receive their license yet?

On my plugin boutique account it just says: "Your order is currently being processed and your serial will be available shortly. You will receive an email from us once this has been deposited into your user account. Have any questions? contact us at support@pluginboutique.com"

Has been like this for about an hour.

Yes, mine came through fine, but it said the same thing and took maybe 30 mins to an hour. I wasn't sure I was going to actually get the serial at that price, but almost fell off my chair when I did!

I was already logged into Softube anxiously waiting to register it!

Easily the best purchase of 2024 for me so far ?

Famous last words ? It seems this is "almost" never true in today's "on sale every other day" environment.

I think If anyone proved that lately, it was most definitely UAD.

Softube definitely seems to defy that and holds their prices more than most Devs, but this was an absurd price.

I picked up MM-1 last year for $59, so with this upgrade that makes it $178 for the entire Weiss Collection which is $999 and generally gets discounted to around $500.

You can get it a bit cheaper than that by picking up MM-1 and their DeEsser and I was going to upgrade to DS1 or complete that way, but DS1 alone never sells for $178.

It does mean I could've skipped buying the DeEsser, but I got to use it in the meantime and I'll put it up for sale on KVR ?

They've pulled the listed from the store now, so I'll need to to mark it as expired.

Too late...fix...now $199 for the upgrade

That's still wrong anyway ?

Check the upgrade prices for the other things. They're more expensive to buy and the upgrade is still more expensive than just from the MM-1.

The upgrade is never as cheap as $199, not even close for Complete.

Run as fast as you can, don't demo, don't think, just buy ?

Even if you have to buy MM-1, buy this first, or at the same time.  This is about as good as it will ever get!

I normally snooze on updates for at least a week in case any bugs get found, but I'm actually really surprised there are any with Kazrog.

I almost just updated anyway assuming they would be safe, but held off... Seems that may have been a good choice this time around.

its request card details no paypal

Like the guys mentioned, you might have clicked on the options. The only other thing I can think of, is unless you had an existing account maybe and signed in first, but I don't think that would cause it in this case.

Hope you got it sorted.

Still love this Opto compressor and its definitely worth that asking price.

And then there's Bloom Vocal Aether just released by Excite Audio.. I think these guys need to use different AI / LLM for creating their product names ?

As for price, they released some plugins that were a lot more expensive than the competition and got away with it.. I wouldn't be surprised if they charge like a wounded bull for this one  Will be a nice surprise if they don't though.

That's quite creative... They've found a way to even charge WUP for other developers plugins ?

SSL-Harrison Compressor Bundle

• Harrison 32 BUS
• Harrison MULTIBAND COMPRESSOR
• SSL FUSION HF COMPRESSOR
• SSL LMC+

The legendary tone, features and workflows of classic SSL and Harrison compressors

SSL and Harrison bring together studio legends from Oxford and Nashville with the Comp Bundle - ft. the Harrison 32 Bus and Multiband Compressor plug-ins, as well as the SSL Fusion HF Compressor and LMC+ plug-ins. 

32 BUS

• Experience the magic of the 32C workflow with the Studio 32 Bus plugin. This plugin emulates the bus processing of the Harrison Mixbus 32C DAW, allowing you to bring a piece of the famed 32C workflow to any DAW. 
• With this plugin, you can add tape saturation, compression, EQ, and limiting to your bus tracks, giving them warmth, punch, and clarity. The 32 Bus plugin is the next best thing to having a real 32C console in your studio.

MULTIBAND COMPRESSOR

• Whether you're working on music, film, broadcast, or video post-production, a multiband compressor is a powerful tool for achieving professional-quality results. Use it to control the dynamics of specific frequency ranges, which can be incredibly useful for improving the clarity, punch, and overall sound of your audio.
• Typical Multiband compressors require careful management of dozens of finicky controls. Harrison’s Multiband Compressor takes a different approach: Each band’s attack, release, and other parameters are calculated by the plugin to get the best possible sound. Internal processing ensures that the combined signal is phase-accurate and has a flat pass-band. The result is a much more natural sound, allowing you to tame problematic frequency ranges without wrecking your instrument’s character. And it works with surprisingly few controls: locate the problem frequencies, choose how much correction to apply, and you’re done!

FUSION HF COMPRESSOR

• The Fusion HF Compressor plug-in emulates the high frequency smoothing circuit from the critically acclaimed SSL Fusion stereo analogue colouration processor, bringing the much sought after sound of analogue rounding to your DAW.
• Tape like roll-off, smooth compression and maximum transparency, the HF Compressor plug-in gives you the ability to tame harsh, brittle high frequencies, creating a smooth and refined top-end on your stems, mixes and masters, quickly and easily.

LMC+

• The LMC+ Plug-in brings a new and significantly enhanced version of the classic SSL Listen Mic Compressor as originally found in the centre section of the legendary SL 4000E console to your DAW, with a range of new creative tools for artists, producers and engineers.

It seems I get it for free, got serial and download. I can't recall exactly, but back aways they sent out instructions to upgrade from a PA purchased product and have it put in your account at dearVR. I can't recall exactly which product it was but I'm thinking it might have been dearVR PRO, I have all of them so . . . I'll go back through my emails and see if I can uncover anything, that's the only reason I can think of why I might have got this for free now.

Are you sure that wasn't for "Monitor" instead of Pro?

Luckily there’s @satya and some other minions (like myself) but it’s already getting pretty chilly out here without Larsy. 

Just about always slow for deals this time of year when they've already thrown everything at us progressively since Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and then New Year's.

This is the time of year when they try and say see we do actually advertise at those crazy overinflated RRPs only so they can then discount them again ?

HoRNet SW34EQ MK2 free for 24 Hrs

The HoRNet SW34EQ MK2 is an equalizer coming straight from the 80s. It’s the digital version of the EQ found in an American console and it features the typical analog EQ sound and controls.

This plugin is specifically modelled after one channel of this console used in the main room of Virus Studio, here in Siena, Italy. This EQ is very smooth and gentle, both in the EQ shapes (bells and shelves) and it’s almost perfect for general tone shaping, especially the low shelf gives weight to the sound without pumping it too much.

You also get an high-pass filter 18dB/oct slope that can be activated even if the rest of the EQ is not.

Note: his website is currently struggling with high volumes of visitors ?

Good to know. In da house. 
Don’t sleep on SigMod. 

Definitely recommend testing SigMod first, it crashes all DAWs I tested and is incompatible with many plugins. They are aware of the issue.

GearSpace is where I go for that.  From my reading, the gold standard is Slate VSX.  Realphones is next, and then Sienna.

It's a tricky comparison because a lot of users are getting their first set of decent planar headphones for the first time with Slate as that's what they come with. If all Realphones users were buying new planar cans at the same time as Realphones it would be a more reasonable comparison.

The edge Slate have is that the correction is based off the individual unit you actually receive from my understanding.

You can also get individual correction measurements done by Dsoniq as well though.

Note: Slate doesn't do system wide on Windows last I checked, which is a huge let down in comparison to Realphones which does. I'd rather be listening to audio through the DAW as well as YouTube, Spotify whatever through the same correction and setup instead of having to mentally adjust for the differences.

Yeah it's a little steeper than I expected.

System wide on Windows is a huge plus over Slate, so everything you listen to is corrected, otherwise I might have given VSX a go. I haven't completely ruled out VSX though.

If anyone has the survey code and isn't going to use it, please PM me ?
