After the Waves APA disaster years ago, I ain't touching any waves hardware based stuff with Lars' dongle.

Couldn't get to auth. Couldn't go online in the plug in. Couldn't offline auth. General pain in the schnutz. But it's kinda free, so... Yay- Awesome-Send more!

I think we've all been there...

Thanks Larr. I've got a client that's obsessed with Kalimba (ever since "Somebody I used to know"), and the real units have funky tunings, and something never seems to match the sound in his head, so this will be another option to add to the pile.

Some of my best memories in my life revolve around Rush. Exit the warrior.

TC Electronic Skysurfer Reverb Effect Pedal $40 This is actually a pretty nice mono reverb pedal. Dunno if I'd call it a no brainer, but more of a less brainer deal.

This is for 34 plug ins. If my math checks out, that's @$29 a plug in. This is a very good deal if you don't own any of them and would like ALL of these. I own most of them otherwise I'm be all over this.

Here's some various snares being run through various Plate plug ins, including the new Arturia... The 1st file is dry if you want to import into your DAW of choice and compare with your own, or mimic the settings and tweak them. If you do a "get info" on the files, you'll find the information of what is what and the general settings used. If no setting is listed, it means it wasn't touched. There's 30 files total including the dry pass. It got boring so I figured that's a nice round number. There are obviously level differences and even some setting differences that couldn't be tweaked between several of them, so this is where I claim it's not a scientific test, and it's useless, and pointless, and meaningless, and that every Star Wars movie after the 1st 3 they released were all pieces of crap that ruined the storyline, etc.... Enjoy. https://we.tl/t-2AeHqajUK7

I got the IR's to load (sometimes I have to triple click where it says "No Folder Selected" in each bank). There's a limitation of how long the IRs can be (no reverbs). So this is mainly designed for guitar amps/cabs, but I'm sure people will get creative with it. The XY trackpad is pretty clever, and I love the idea of loading a Vox AC30 on one pad, a Marshall JCM800 on another, a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier on another, and a Dumble on the last one (or whatever yomama's favorite amp is), and then dragging the XY target accordingly. The sample delay is pretty low, so I think it's good enough to track live with.

Signed up. Authorized easy enough. Can't get it to import any of my IR's. Can't even get the manual in the plug in to work. Dunno if they use some proprietary system or something. Found a bunch of bugs I submitted via their site. I'm sure they are aware of them, but I suggest anyone else running into issue do the same so they can fix the issues after their 'soft opening'.

Pffft. $8.50, sheeeeit. Copped. Thanks, Simon/Lars. The gui does do this annoying thing when you click the presets, you can't "side click" out of them, at least in Pro Tools. Anyway, here's to $8.50 being the new $29.

Lot of Digitech Guitar Pedals Be sure to scroll down and check the bundles as well.

Go buy for $189 here: Fender FA-235E Concert Acoustic Electric Guitar, Indian Laurel, Gloss, Lilac Burst Get rebate for -$90 here: Adorama $90 rebate $189-$90= $99. You could possibly use a cash back site as well (as well as their "reward points"). EDIT: looks sold out...

I used it so much, I ended up buying the plug in when it was on sale. When I get instrumental 2 tracks from clients that are brick walled so hard I can't possibly fit vocals on top, I can use it to educate them, or use it to back up my request for more headroom. And I'm not afraid of loudness or even distortion, but there's a time and a place for everything.

Way Huge Saffron Squeeze

Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone (White) $37 Free Ship enter promo code SNOW in cart I mean, maybe for Skype sessions or demos? Decent price.

Mackie CR3 3" Multimedia Monitor Speakers (Pair, Custom Blue) $67.99 Mackie FreePlay HOME Portable Bluetooth Speaker ($109) Not really up my alley, but maybe someone else is into them or interested in them for a cheap 5.1 rig.

I'll co-sign the Anker. They've worked very good for me with various drives and keyboards filling it up (and a few decent charging points for clients' cell phones as well). I've had issues with others (not enough power for a small Akai, etc).

Of those, I use the Puigchild the most (I love slamming pianos through it). Brauer would be a distant 2nd choice. The AE 3rd, and I've maybe used the JJP half a dozen times total and keep it in the mix.

eBay; OOS But it's still available here: https://www.altomusic.com/behringer-motor-61-channel-daw-controller-motor61#child_index=1612 These will sell out.

Sabrent USB 3.1 Aluminum Enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSD in Silver (EC-NVME) $35.99 - $6.48 w/ promotion code 181W2ORJ = $29.51 Free shipping for prime members. Please read the reviews and know WTF you're getting. These do get warm, and putting a newer, faster drive may be over kill. Decent deal none the less, and I'm sure a lot of people copped drives during BF/CM.
