  1. I'm trying really hard to find out what has been the lowest price for the library. ?
  2. What scares me is this information posted on their website: Please take the following precautions: Please disable any ANTI VIRUS software that may be operating on your computer Please disable computer power-saving modes (you don’t want your computer to go to sleep after 15 minutes) Wireless Ethernet is not as reliable as CAT5 or CAT6 cabled Ethernet. Make sure you turn off firewalls and security apps that may interfere with downloading. Make sure you have a good connection. Make sure you have enough room on your disk. If you are having issues, try installing it on an internal drive and then copying the folder to your Samples drive. Sometimes there are permission issues with certain drives Does this mean they only allow you one time download and no resume??
  3. I was looking in add payments in the account on my mobile phone. Sorry, found it in checkout!
  4. Do you happen to have this library?
  5. Has the children's choir been $50 before?
  6. Oops… It looks like this page doesn’t exist. Try some of the nice links below, or use the menu bar at top. I guess they changed the page? There's a 53% off sale for the children's choir...Google swipe keeps calling it Chickens Choir... LoL! I'm looking at payment methods, and it seems only credit cards... No PayPal?
  7. I'm currently thinking about getting Genesis from AudioBro, but $189.00 is allot of money to throw down, even if it's 52% off! The library has been around for five years, which means they'll be around many more years later, perhaps? It will be complex to get them into modern music (pop, rock, country, etc), but easy for Christmas songs or Satanic songs. Is it really worth $189 for maybe a hand full of songs to produce? Edit: https://audiobro.com/genesis/
  8. Still no update on how HOGGY that interface is? I installed it a year ago, and many of the instruments I couldn't use because it was hogging my CPU nearly 100% of the time!
  9. Just for anyone's info...ADPTR AUDIO Metric AB has been as low as $19.
  10. I missed this deal.. It's back up to $400. Why in the world does a company do sales like that? Mark it up 10 times the price, and once in a while have a sale?
  11. The problem is I think I let the software company create me an account and install PACE ilok software... Although, I can't seem to locate PACE or ilok on my system... Either I uninstalled it or it's hiding somewhere?
  12. I remember a plugin company requiring me to install PACE software on my PC, but I forgot which plugin. Is there a way to me to figure out which plugin it was? Maybe y'all can help by listing plugin companies that require PACE ilok software or how I can hunt down which plugin it was? I'm planning to get a ilok USB for" Vienna Symphonic Library Big Bang Orchestra: Ymir Children's Choir" and was thinking of combining them into the same USB. The children's choir is for a Christmas song I'm working on. Many thanks will be given for any advice!
  13. Do you have any Waves Audio plugins?
  14. WARNING: "White Noise Studio" tends to lean towards Waves Audio products often in his videos, but it's something to watch? And
  15. Probably means it's not saling every well. Who needs De-verb, unless you purposely record in untreated environments...for which I recommend you get utterly close to the microphone in order to prevent reverb effects! I've got both Acon Acoustica Premium Edition and iZotope RX 10 Standard. Between them both, I would use each version of De-verb back to back. I don't need de-verb plugins, but if Clarity VX Pro for DeNoise ever went on sale again (which I've never seen it drop below $249) I would buy it. The DeNoise from both Acon Acoustica Premium and iZotope RX Standard can't beat it even if I use them back to back! The Clarity VX series seems to be the best of what Waves has to offer. If I wasn't on a budget, I'd buy it just to have it. Edit: You should DEMO them products. I think they give you seven days trial?
  16. I think it's better to stop getting updates, reason: You never know if the next update will give you the dreaded BSOD!
  17. I opened up Scaler, and it still works past the trial date. It continues to be a trial forever? Anyone else notice that? I have to have licenses for tools of all songs I create, so if I do publish any song using it, I'll buy it first. It's a requirement of my publisher that I show receipts and screenshots for all tools used for a production of any song. If I decide to buy EzKeys, I'll uninstall Scaler.
  18. I am still waiting for any of their plugins to drop below $20, then I'll stag them. I'll most likely just stag reference 2 and expose as I believe you can never have enough tools for referencing. I would have gotten levels, but I ended up getting Waves WLM Plus at the time because Waves Audio plugins are so affordable. Then after getting Sonible Smart Limiter on a great sale, did I stop using Waves WLM Plus. Then I got Ozone Standard from a Komplete 14 Update, and I stopped using Sonible Smart Limiter. ? Even though Ozone Standard is a huge CPU hog, I end up having to render all my tracks to remove all the FX plugins before using Ozone, but after using Ozone on one song did I see such of benefit of their plugin. It appears to have "glued" everything together in such a way that I don't understand how it did it. I was amazed at the sound I heard. Not sure if Ozone was this one time effect or not, I'll have to try it again on another song soon. I'm going to guess that Ozone is better at EQing than I am is the reason it sounds better?
  19. I am vary wary of plugins that claim to be the all in one and only plugin you'll ever need scenario. You've heard it all before. I also enjoy using different plugins per song. Having a all in one kinda defeats the purpose of creation. So... My laundry list of vocal plugins... Off the top of my head.. I've got all these plugins at really great discounts (or before they became known starting prices very very low). I have to always search for the best deals as doing this as a hobby can get expensive! *Melodyne Studio 5 by Celemony Audio modern GateLab JMG Sound Expanse 3D *JMG Sound Transmutator (Mutation from one voice to the next is unbeatable!) JMG Sound Mirror *JMG Sound Hyperspace (reverb and delay) Waves Audio F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ Waves Audio Renaissance Maxx *Waves Audio Sibilance (Haven't found anything that can beat this yet and be affordable). Waves Audio Smack Attack (works wonders on vocals, but I use it only when needed) *Waves Audio StudioRack Waves Audio Vitamin Sonic Enhancer *Waves Audio Vocal Bender (I know I could use Melodyne, but this is so much quicker, virtually no wait, just turn a knob) Waves Audio Waves Harmony (Harmonies sound too robotic) Waves Audio Clarity Vx *Waves Audio Brauer Motion (manipulating vocal space with this... Especially if you've got multiple vocals moving at the same time!) Waves Audio Vocal Rider (got it, can't really find a use for it) Waves Audio Greg Wells Voice Centric *Waves MV2 (keeps vocals level by bringing up the low volume while lowering the high volume) Sonible Smart Reverb (crashes on me so much, I switched to Hyperspace instead) *Sonible Smart EQ *Sonible Smart Limiter HorNet Total EQ *HorNet The Normalizer (used in multiple tracks in every song) (gain staging) HorNet AutoGain Pro MK2 *Acon Acoustica Premium Edition *iZotope Vocal Doubler iZotope RX Standard (CPU Intensive, rarely use) I probably have many other plugins not listed, but these are the ones I can remember. * = My Favorites I try really hard to avoid iZotope plugins as they all tend to be CPU hogs. If I do use them, I'm end up having to freeze the track or render the track to reduce CPU load. I used to use "Waves Audio F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ" to have vocals poke thru the mix, but when Sonible Smart EQ came along, I stopped using it. Out of all the plugins, HorNet plugins use the least amount of CPU cycles. If I need to save CPU cycles, I usually replace a plugin with a HorNet plugin. I've got over 20 HorNet plugins, but can't recall them all as the naming scheme doesn't help make them rememberable. ...
  20. Found EzKeys for $159 @ https://www.thomannmusic.com/toontrack_ezkeys_2.htm not much cheaper than Best Service... I'm still looking for a better deal. Someone did say they got EzKeys for $29 sometime during a black Friday sale years ago, I'm wondering if they'll do another sale like that again soon? It's not like I really need this, so I can wait as long as I like for it, but might as well get all the opinions and research that I can. I'm currently liking the idea that EzKeys can be ran standalone (not sure if Scaler can or not), That EzKeys has a internal midi editor. what I don't like about both systems is that you can't just buy the core system without any samples / instrument. Is there another similar system like both of these that doesn't force you to also download their instrument?
  21. In EzKeys, can you use your own midi instruments? Scaler 2 has a demo / trail version while EzKeys 2 does not: On EzKeys website: Q: Is there a trial or demo version available?
 A: No, there is no trial or demo version available of EZkeys 2. To learn more about the product, please refer to the extensive tutorial material, audio demos and information available on our site. If EzKeys didn't cost so much, I would gamble on it. Without a trail or demo version, I'm just taking everyone's word on it. Your information has enlightened me, and I'm grateful. Just still on the edge and will wait for more information from others before making a decision.
  22. EzKeys 2 @ $ 162.15 @ https://www.bestservice.com/en/ezkeys_2.html Scaler 2 @ $49.00 @ https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Music-Theory-Tools/6439-Scaler-2 Is EzKeys worth 3.31 times more expensive than Scaler 2? Can you edit midi inside of Scaler 2? What are the major differences? Is either of them have a standalone version?
  23. I'm curious at what cclarry is thinking right now... This was a posted deal by cclarry, and it takes off like a runaway train!
