I did assume it likely was, but I also thought it might be useful for anyone else that stumbles across it to see where the actual 4K compressors originated in case you weren't joking, so erred on that side instead

4K resolution would've been well before the 4000 (/4K) G time, even before they even had screens that need resolution! https://reverb.com/uk/item/69622810-solid-state-logic-ssl-4000-g-series-recording-console

Really great value and so diverse in what it includes. I wouldn't say it's a complete allrounder for me, as the Lead Synths I often don't like as much and more frequently pass over. Some amazing pads and SampleTron is brilliant. Some great effects too. I paid more for Syntronik Deluxe V1 alone. That did net me almost everything IK had in a group buy, so I don't feel like it was a bad deal either, but group buys aside, hard to complain about the price of this!

You can use it on whatever you like, so it's fine on sub groups, but like most 4K which is what you already have I believe, it is more commonly used these days for the stereo/master buss.

This one has already been posted 🙂

They could probably add this quite easily to their download / installer. In that you can click on "My Plugins" and you get a simple view of all your plugins. On the Demos tab, it has all plugins, but if you already own a plugin, you don't need a demo. So if they just did the inverse of "My Plugins" and populated the Demos section with that, it would make much more sense and be a quick and easy check to see what you don't already own and it would place no additional load on the website.

Got mine as well and a very good deal This was a really clever way of doing it too. A lot of us have already bought a heap of Hornet's plugins, so often miss out on the freebie gifts. This time we didn't miss out and by staggering the load, their servers weren't smashed and offline. It would have taken way more manual effort on their part to go through the emails though, so @HoRNet a HUGE thank you!!

Let's hope they don't get creative and offer UVI Digital Synsations Vol. 1 like just about every damn reseller almost every month it seems 🤣 It is at least refreshing to see LoopCooud isn't just trotting out Softube VCA Compressor again.. Or free UA Verve Essentials, or the previously free UA LA2A.. they must be saving them for another run next month... Haha... These particular ones aren't quite as common to see free at least (apart from IK Group Buys) I'm not sure the resellers know this, but a free incentive is normally more effective when half the world hasn't already gotten it free multiple times over!

Hornet Plugins are underrated. It depends on what you've already got, but Analog Stage is good, so is Tape and Multicomp. Their HA2A is nice as well. Total EQ isn't bad either.

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.
