I've got Cream2 and don't mind it. Seems like a great price for Viridian2, which didn't seem to have bad reviews (apart from White Sea Studio, but the reviews of his review on that one were mixed anyway, with apparently not enabling the pres correctly.. ! ?) I guess that happens with his no manual approach at times.. I've also got these already which were freebies at one stage: Big Ceil Ceil Celestial Cerise I've considered picking up one and leaning more towards this order in preference so far: Viridian2 Amethyst4 Titanium3 Water2 Would Viridian2 be a good choice, or out of these, which would you choose/recommend and why? Any major differences in CPU usage between them as well? Thanks ?

Thanks! I don't normally post anything as cclarry is too quick, so I'll have to remember to add URLs.. if there's a next time ?

V-Clip by Venn Audio is currently 50% off as part of their Black Friday sale. They make FreeClip which is a great freebie, but V-Clip is much better. I did a shoot out with quite a lot of clippers a while ago and V-Clip was up there with the best. On some material it performed as good or better than StandardClip which I rate, although isn't on sale by itself for BF sales. It can be super transparent, but also includes a lot of other clip types/modes for creative uses as well. At $15US, this is a no brainer. Get on it ?

Too good a price to pass up.. Picked up TDR SlickEQ Mastering, which was even less than $9.99 with the DeluxeBucks, but you also get this Melda EQ free! Melda MFreeformAnalogEq

So it seems that this is just the StandardPRICE for StandardCLIP ?? And it's only in sale in the bundles at the moment..

Today is that day! ? It's the cheapest I've ever seen it and a choice of some freebies if you don't already have them. I suspect you likely do though! Haha..

$94 at Plugin Boutique now and get to choose one of the below free with it ? https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/3187-Spire PUNISH Lite LEVELS AAS Player + 1 Sound Bank Autoformer The Orb PolyComp I wasn't supposed to be buying any more synths, but there is something really nice and somewhat different sounding about this one and I'd been eyeing it for a while.. so I guess it was OK to buy it.. on this one occasion ? Thanks for posting it @cclarry!

Does StandardClip ever go on sale by itself, or only bundled with SIR etc? I have enough clippers, but at the right price I thought I might still get it ?

Hey Carl, I'd already registered before the date unfortunately... Glad to hear you held off and got lucky though! ?

If anyone already owns them and ends up with a spare serial they can give me for any of these, please PM me and I would be very appreciative! ? Relab LX480 Essentials - Four reverb model Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC - Focusrite's iconic console in a plug-in Brainworx bx_masterdesk - Simplifies the art and workflow of mastering I bought a Scarlett 3rd gen, but outside of that date..

I just tried the Fender collection which wasn't high on my list of freebies, but it's actually pretty good! I ran it through the T-Racks EQ PA and I was pleasantly surprised ? Now I'm wondering what other gems are in there!

If you buy a pair of these, you can request them to be added as a supported model by Realphones directly on this page: https://www.dsoniq.com/standard ?

Jumped in again to help the numbers and now own the Master EQ 432 (plus a new round of freebies!) As soon as I demoed it a while ago I'd instantly decided to buy it, but held off until the right time ?

I own a pair of the HD 6XX. They're are great set of headphones and it was an easy choice for the price ?

SL63x is also free as well ? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/smacklabs/sl63x-compressor

I thought I didn't need another EQ and it was a little hyped until I tried the Master EQ432 and that was an instabuy for me! Same with their tape machine emulations ? I haven't tried their 73 and 81 and maybe that's a good thing.. as I may end up wanting them as well! Haha..

It's a rite of passage and one that Waves rely on.. sometimes you need to stumble and fall before you learn to walk.. Waves is akin to stumbling and falling for newbies ? I bought a handful, like you, not too many, but then luckily found so many better options and companies to deal with. They won't get another cent from me unless they change ? Maybe not a bad thing.. I spend too much as it is! ?

Waves is one of the few companies that will refuse to provide support if you don't have WUP. They also only provide one licence for each plugin unless you have WUP. I love getting random out of the blue updates from the likes of Valhalla, all free and still developed. I'd rather support guys like that and boycott Waves so they change. Plugin Alliance allow multiple installs, ongoing support and regular sales that are way cheaper than any WUP. They do charge for new versions, but they also make sure the old ones continue to work. The new versions like the others mentioned are generally full of new features. Not like Waves who just want more money for what you already have! I wonder how many more sales Waves would get if they actually listened/cared about their customers and the market. I'd almost consider this offer just for a couple of the inclusions. But with their current practices, there are better options overall for almost, if not every plugin they make. Support the Devs that care and listen ?

Waves make some pretty good plugins... so do other developers.. the other developers don't have WUP and allow more than one install without messing around with USB. Other developers listen more to their customers, Waves just doesn't care and persist in their ways which alienate themselves from the industry ? If I had my time over I'd never buy a Waves plugin and would recommend newbies not to start with them.. unless they change, my money will always be going elsewhere ?

To an extent.. although I just got MTurboEQ for free with purchase from ADSR ? There was also their recent turbo compressor giveaway with purchase too. But other than giveaways, minus a few further discounts here and there from different resellers the discounts are pretty stable like you mentioned.

A slightly more reasonable price for this one... The regular RRP is crazy! Are any of the bundled libraries they include worthwhile? I've only considered it for some well regarded third party ones, but I've spent a bit recently, so I did wonder about using this sale to at least grab N4 so I can buy the third party ones down the track.

These sounded great too Simeon, although I'm sure your playing helped I can see I'll likely grab something from these at some stage as well! Very good point on the libraries having a different feeling to them and drawing different things out of us. That's why I don't mind owning a few, as I feel that way with them too Thanks

Thanks Fleer, I picked up TVBO and WG2 MkII. Just downloading them now Interestingly it seems you only get 2 weeks of downloading and then the DL expires apparently. Do you know if it's possible to download them again in future? I always keep the original DL, but it would be good to know if I'm still covered. Thanks!

Thanks Fleer and Cclary, I downloaded the demo for TVBO and quite liked it, so I'll probably get that one. WG Mk II could be interesting Fleer. I was considering Black Grand as well, but I'd like something for modern/pop as well on this one, so WG might be a better choice I guess.

Thanks Doug, that's not too bad At least compared to some of the monster libraries these days, but always good to check first!
