Trackspacer by Wavesfactory: $29 @ Plugin Boutique
dumbquestions replied to MusicMan's topic in Deals
I use a layered piano/pad live and use this in sidechain to duck the pad signal when the piano is triggered. Compressor could do the same thing but love the simplicity & transparency. I have the main trackspacer knob assigned to a knob on my midi controller to adjust the effect live as well if i want to go overboard with it. Love that you can select the affected frequency range easily as well -
While i can’t use kontakt 7 yet to load this one up, i do have quantum, and am a big fan. it’s incredibly diverse in what it’s capable of. Using it for both cinematic stuff as well as some rock

Glad they decided to make the update free. Honestly only updated this morning bc i couldn’t use the plugin without updating it for as long as I can remember, it would crash my daw every time i tried to close out of the update prompt. so i’ve been using the old captain plugins (minus the “epic” specification) . Only request for v8 is being able to use it offline. Otherwise works in my daw now with the update. Big fan of using it for drafting up chord progression ideas when my creativity falls short

X-Fade Plugin by Grumpy Monkey (VST3, AU, Kontakt Multiscript)
dumbquestions replied to Larry Shelby's topic in Deals
Thanks for jumping in the thread! I think this is a super practical plugin, and has a great place in the toolbelt. I think it’s the micro time savers like this and making full use of keyboard shortcuts which result in creativity not being limited in the macro final product. While some automations can take time (long or short), it’s still time that can be saved, which all adds up down the road. And the fine tuning of the curve is a BIG plus. Keep it up! -
X-Fade Plugin by Grumpy Monkey (VST3, AU, Kontakt Multiscript)
dumbquestions replied to Larry Shelby's topic in Deals
Great tip for beginner logic users (though i know most of y’all are windows), press “a” for automation and draw in a couple fader changes. Though tools like this and transmutator by jmg audio can save a lot of time with technical sound design moves, and can be useful live for transitions & what not. Maybe Zynaptiq morph if you’re looking to get fancy -
Mac Users - Two Essential Plug-In Management Apps (Not a DEAL)
dumbquestions replied to Release's topic in Deals
Looks pretty cool, i like to keep a shortcut to my AU “components” plugins folder easily accessible in my main dock, since i’m a logic pro user exclusively and find myself digging in there often to delete plugins. If vst or aax plugs get installed i manually delete them from the nearby subfolders. Can see the value in this though if i plan on updating and need to know what might stop working. Thanks for the post! -
@dubdisciple@Philip G Huntthank you for sharing your experiences! Feeling a lot more confident with my next steps from here

Is there any value in this if you already have and use the captain plugin suite (chords, melody, deep, etc.) to generate ideas as a starting point for composing? Say if price were not a factor, is it better &/or would it be worth the time? Youtube comparisons aside, i’m just curious if anyone in this community has experience with both

Unveil looks good no doubt, does what it says—but at a 3490% increase in cost i might just go grab a better mic. Guess ya get what you pay for
-
Certainly appreciate all the thoughtful and thorough responses, sounds like my best bet in this case is to wait until the next voucher giveaway to grab it for free, then.

Is SPL deverb worth $10? Say as an alternative to izotope RX or the new waves clarity one? In other words does anyone have it and actively use it?

Wonder if they are also working on a future with loyalty pricing that reflects money spent collectively between the three companies, vs. specific products owned as the qualifying criteria for a discount. Or maybe they’ll just keep it all the same/separate -

So i paid good money for a product I need to pay for again to get updates now? I use gp4 live every week. Stuff like this is why i’m frozen on osx mojave. Wonder if Deskew’s decision is related to dealing with soundwide/Francisco partners instead of dirk, or something like that? Regardless, I shouldn’t be punished for someone’s finicky business decisions. Mainstage is $30 & performs many of the functions I need, I have no problem trying to make that work how i need it to (Yes this is my official breakup text, Deskew) Hope you & Waves enjoy a good life together.✌️

Dumb question for anyone who has used this already: if this helps clear up unwanted audio that is part of a vocal recording (reverb, in this case?), does it significantly compliment the regular ClarityVX in doing what that plugin does well already, or is this just metaphorically like cutting a slice of bread with a knife instead of scissors (in other words, is it unnecessary if you already own the first clarityvx for vocal audio quality cleanup)? just trying to read through all the waves hype & understand the differences & applications (if anyone knows), & whether it warrants another $30 purchase. context: i can’t use either yet, but it would be part of a few plugins that I would start using when i do upgrade my machine soon… if it’s worth it. As i stated i already have the first clarityvx, but can’t use/demo it on my machine yet. Not updating yet for complicated reasons. Opinions welcome

Much appreciated, didn’t realize that at first. Good to go now

I got dynamics , & accidentally registered smart:limit to ilok not realizing you can just register the plugin via the license number they give you. Now i can’t use it bc I didn’t realize that it’s dongle only, & I don’t have one. Is it possible to retract a license from ilok, persay? Feeling like I do when I ask questions lol. Emailed sonible in the meantime.
