    I remember the first time having a track played on WWWW Radio Station (called W4) here in Detroit!
    We released it on 45!  It was a HUGE DEAL for us LOL  Especially back in 1980!  Craig St. James was the DJ and
    I was sitting in the Radio Studio with him!  Ah the memories! The two songs were entitled:

    "Someone's There" and "I'm Back"

    There really needs to be a ❤️ emoji available for this post, a like doesn't quite cut it ? That would've been so cool!

    The offers on our site are extended for one more week. You can get all plugins and all bundles with a 50% discount until the 4th of December. 

    https://unitedplugins.com/

  4. Ended up going for:

    • VCL-864U
    • VCL-373
    • VCL-4
    • Flywheel

    I quite like them all, especially the first 3. I have lots of tapes and Flywheel is just another flavour / option to have.

    373 surprised me and does something really cool with hats and cymbals. and 864 can get pretty punchy with snappy transients and VCL-4 works great on vocals and adds some nice warmth. Easily worth the price of admission.

    The sale is still on too ?

    I got the "its in stock" e-mail that says "Special price: $125.00."  So the $62.50 must be with the 50% off discount.

    I need to check to see if they will be giving me it for the price I paid before they corrected the error ($4.99), if they have given me a credit for the ($4.99),  or if they took an additional $121.01 from me without my permission.  I doubt they made a mistake and gave me back $499.

    Since it says the order was completed but I was never sent the actual serial number from I might just be out the $4.99.  

    They normally seem pretty good with pricing mistakes and honoring them. I've never seen, or heard of them not doing that and providing the goods. It's quite possible they have, but it doesn't seem the norm, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if you got the bundle at that price.

    Haha!  Yes.  Timezone difference maybe? I'm in the US...

    I saw it this morning but thought I'd wait.

    Looks like the gig is up Mibby... I'm not sure what their normal loyalty offers are in their common sales, but it did seem like a good price. In many cases waiting is not always a good option if it's something you want!

    I like sonible stuff in general as I find their UIs to be pretty well designed. They can also get you close to the settings you want quickly often needing only minor manual tweaks. 

    I have Trackspacer so will be interested to see how the unmasking capabilities compare with it.

    This video piqued my interest when Smart Comp 2 was introduced so I kept it on my radar waiting for a decent upgrade price.

     

    That makes total sense and thanks for sharing the video too. I just watched this one now.

    Will be very interesting to hear how you find it in comparison to Trackspacer.

    Do you find their plugins heavy on the CPU?

    It excels at unmasking. Better than Trackspacer.

    Thanks Jan, I'm hearing that a lot. I had thought I might get Trackspacer at some stage, but I'd been waiting for it to go on sale.

    But when it finally did, I'd just found out about SmartComp instead.

    Same for me on Sonible website. I have Smart Limit (and other Sonible stuff) which is now in my default template.
    I was waiting for Smart Comp 2 ??

    They seem to do a pretty decent loyalty discount. Not sure if it increases with the more you have though, or whether it's just a set loyalty, but it's still nice to see.

    What particular functionality are you looking for from SmartComp?

    You come off really butthurt over this not much of a deal.  I'm like that a lot with so much stuff.  It's a synth and there's not a logical reason to go in this big tirade over it. Either buy it or don't.   We can't change how people do business. I like it for dance genres and had to buy a second license for a 3rd machine,  

     I don't always evaluate a product by its updates.  I've had updates ever since I've had a license.

    That's pretty hilarious if it comes across that way, as it really couldn't be further from the truth and I've been laughing the whole time ?

    I could easily buy the synth if I chose too, so there's nothing to get hurt about. I'm only commenting on principle and pointing out to anyone considering it, that there are alternatives with all of those additional benefits I mentioned.

    Audio tech and pricing has evolved, so what once was good value, may not be today, so hopefully that helps someone who is looking at buying a synth when weighing up options.

    In terms of how people do business, we absolutely can though. Customers choices to an extent can dictate businesses in many ways.

    Like Steven said though, it's all been covered and I've got a bunch of new synths and plugins I've bought to  have fun with so all good ?
