I have been looking at the elysia alpha compressor, and wonder if you've got that plugin and possibly what you think?

I've got that one and it's excellent. Great mid/side compressor and a nice clipper built into it. Pretty quick to dial in the right sound once you get a feel for how the layout is setup. That one is a keeper for me.

That and the now old bx_digital V3 together cover a lot of ground. I love some of their newer EQs too, but still reach for that at times as it's such a versatile workhorse. That combo would be on a lot of top releases in the charts over the years.

That silver bullet sounds neat: "and you can specify any six-digit serial number you like." ... I would use 000666.  LoL 🤣

Just curious...I wonder if it's genre specific?

Sounds like a great allrounder really and not genre specific. It even made me curious about the hardware! Not something I'm considering at the moment, but it's quite versatile.

MAutoDynamicEQ, MAutoAlign and MAutoVolume are staples for me and pretty much on every mix… GREAT deal!  

You're not making it any easier to say no! Haha..

Thank you though. I may have been a little quick to overlook them. I am interested to see how MAutoVolume might handle some vocal duties in comparison to my current option.

I really doubt that you'll have buyer's remorse about dropping $50 on MEssentialsFX. Once you get a look and listen to MTurboDelay and MTurboReverble, you'll see what the fuss is about. MTurboDelay is ridiculously comprehensive and the Bricasti-alike in MTurboReverble is my go-to 'verb.

Better still, while you have time, demo them. I think they reset the demo period counters, so you won't even have to hear the dropouts you'd otherwise get in demo mode.

Given I spent more on a single plugin the other day, the value proposition is pretty hard to argue and I have no doubt you're right on that.

MSpectralDynamicsLE could be interesting too.

I'll planning on giving MTurboDelay and MTurboReverbLE a demo tomorrow, but I think picking up the bundle is almost unavoidable at this stage

Only the most outdated and unpopular plugins

In general there's some merit to that, but can't really agree.

Louder Than Liftoff SILVER BULLET mk2 and Neold Wunderlich aren't that old and are both well regarded. Silver Bullet is probably one of their most raved about plugins of late. 

$20 for those is not half bad at all.

Nice. I have a whole lot of their soundbanks already but not this one yet.

I very nearly glossed over this for that exact same reason. Until a few recent ones, all the free ones were banks I'd already bought in a big Patchmaker bundle when it was on sale. Nice to see some different freebies from them

Just a heads up to those wanting to spend less for Fuse Audio and can wait... the last two years they've done a $15 any plugin deal during Black Friday sales.  I'm cheap. 🤣

You're in good company... I did the same in one of their sales! Can't remember now if it was BF, or another time, but Insane value at that price...

I picked up a bunch... might even drop in for some more this time around if they do it again! This could potentially work out as well if someone has a voucher to use and another combo discount that doesn't require a cart code, so still could be a good option. Or if someone just doesn't want to wait.

Agreed on both of those. Both up there with my favorites for tape and fuse is really light on CPU. They've got a few pretty great plugins.

Love Satin too. Grabbed it during a pricing glitch, otherwise it's not the cheapest, but still worth it on sale.

PA EXT: Fuse Audio Labs FlywheelThe lush, warm sound of analog tape $29.99 RRP $59

Might be good with a voucher and something else.

Whenever you feel your music could sound more organic, cohesive, diversified and interesting, Flywheel will add that special sauce to your tracks. Adding vibrant warmth and presence to your recordings, mixings and masters has rarely been that simple and that much fun before. No credit plan, no service tech, no tape salad – just pure analog awesomeness.

As Easy as That
A lot of thought has been put into reducing the parameter set, offering plenty of sonic flexibility while maintaining a most straightforward user experience: Simply dial in the record gain, select tape speed and formula and then tweak the results with the hysteresis and EQ. Only a hand full of controls grants access to a sea full of interesting textures.

Wow!
The magnetic sound experience wouldn't be complete without different tape formulas, adjustable wow and flutter as well as a tape transport stop/start... and Flywheel delivers. Rounded off by optional oversampling for improving overall audio quality, this tape emulation is a reliable first pick for applying a remarkable polish to your very own masterpieces.

$50 for me to upgrade which isn't too bad really.

I only own 2 of the plugins and I paid $12 for MCompare which I really like and have had heaps of use of already. It's really versatile in how you can use it and place it in your plugin chains, or different tracks and one of my favorites of that type. That with ADPTR AUDIO MetricAB is a great combo for referencing A->B comparing including blind testing and is all I need.

I also own MTurboCompLE , so considering this bundle adds MTurboDelay, MTurboReverbLE and MLimiterX I'm a bit tempted.. I'm pretty well covered for delays, reverbs and limiters, but I have heard great things about them from a lot of people now, so the GAS is still telling me to do it 🤣

I don't know as much about the rest, but I'm kind of looking at them just being extras and I'm mainly considering buying it for the other 3.

I may not be able to hold out this time around.. Haha..

As always, if it's your first purchase with them, use someone's referral code and sign up for the newsletter and it will knock the cost down to under $70. MTurboReverble alone is worth it, it's the only one I've heard that can match the quality of the Exponential ones.

They have 60% off when there's over $249 in the cart.

When I first saw $299 I though "that's a good price, but no", but $120 is very tempting. I don't have SSD space though...

That could explain it then  Very good price.. that's a lot of variety and great sale price.. you're right though, definitely a lot of storage required for it!

What do you think: is it worth paying $42 to upgrade my SampleTank 3 MAX?

OR: Is it worth paying ~$167 for Total Studio 4 MAX, which includes ToneX MAX (new for me), and would also upgrade my Modo Drum from 1 to 1.5, Modo Bass from 1 to 2, and AmpliTube MAX from 4 to 5, in addition to getting SampleTank 4 MAX? I already have most of the Syntronik stuff from a group buy and the old content from TS 2 MAX.

Bought separately, ToneX CS and ST4 MAX are currently about $80 in total, so that leaves $87 for the other upgrades.

It's hard to say sometimes, but given IK has no real love for existing customers, I'd probably hold out for Total Studio 5 Max instead of considering TS4Max.

You're likely to be able to buy it at the same price a new customer could (give or take a few dollars), but I'd imagine it would include at least the next version of T-Racks which probably will include new plugins and potential new versions of some of the other included suites.

There is a risk they could put the price up, but given sample libraries seem to be dropping quite a lot in price and that's a significant part of their offerings, I can't imagine them holding the higher price for long, as there are so many alternatives.

A bit of speculation there until we see it, but I'm in a similar situation as you and I'm waiting.
