This all makes sense now. https://slatedigital.com/fresh-air/

The other part of the native plugins I love is the 360 mixer that comes along with it.

Bapu has downloaded and installed it. Case closed.

How'd you do that?

In S1 I have to go to the "Load Preset" option in the plugin window; once you select it, it opens up the PA preset folder. Select all and click Load or whatever the prompt is and it tells me "X# of presets were uploaded." Not at my DAW machine at the moment - sorry for the lack of detail; not sure what DAW you're using.

I picked up EZ Bass and two EBX expansions for $222 on Thomann. That seemed to be good bang for the buck considering it lists for $179. That will be enough MIDI until they start releasing a broader variety of meat-and-potatoes rock MIDI. They obviously want to sell as much of the rock and metal EBXs before bringing cheaper MIDI packs for those genres. Probably going to do the same for EZD3; EZD2 + 2 EZX is $212 at Thomann.

Might have been mentioned already but does the upgrade for $79 apply if you buy EZD2 from a private sale (license transfer?)

I love BFD3 and am part of the test group, too, but what I'm looking for these days is great sound and ease of use. EZDrummer 3 gets me excited more than a new update to my favorite drum program that just sounds good. If it doesn't help me create - as inspiring as it sounds - it's less helpful to me. Especially if either source passes in the mix anyway. I'm not a purist, and IMHO BFD3 sounds better than SD3 on its own and is incredibly detailed, but I get from point A to somewhere near the finish line a lot quicker with SD3, with less dinking around with MIDI maps, previewing clip upon clip upon clip, etc. If BFD3 had tap-to-find, for instance, I'd use it a ton more. I remember the day I was finally able to buy BFD3...I felt like I'd "arrived" and would still feel that way today if SD3 hadn't "arrived" since then. Conversely, if they would just sample some real - I mean REAL - hard hitting snares with discernible rim shots like the Tama Bell Brass in BFD3, I would also be a lot happier with SD3. Why are they so timid with some of their snare samples???? Has anyone used BFD3 samples in SD3? It looks simple enough - just haven't taken the time to try.

I don’t use AT5 much due to CPU usage but I gotta say…some of the ToneNet presets kept me from putting my guitar down last night.

I was going to do the same but between the latency and lack of a clear use case, I walked away from the shopping cart.

Has some nasty latency I don't get with other reverbs. Not sure about this one.

Not sure what I just did but it's $29.99 for me now. Subtotal$104.99 2022-04 Customer Loyalty Monthly Vouchers - $50 (Code: )-$50 SLO: TAILS for $79.99 (Code: tails-7999ljuIujegf7Dt)-$25 Total$29.99

I have a $25 and $50 loyalty voucher along with the $25 open voucher PA just announced. Can I stack these? How do you do it?

No worries. There's lots of people wishing better for BFD3, me included.

The work that’s happened over the last four years is probably as good as the SPlat lifetime updates I paid for. Thanks for the great work and constant attention. Can’t say that about many of my favorite plug-ins!

New kits recorded at Hansa Studios, new features not even in SD3…WOW.

EZDrummer 3 pre-order https://www.toontrack.com/product/ezdrummer-3/ I just looked for my wife’s purse but I think it ran away, too.

My wallet just kicked down the door and disappeared down the street.

No freebies pour moi. 12 measly Jampointz for life, I guess.

Wow. That was a lot harder to watch than I thought it would be. Just knowing it would be the last show makes it incredibly poignant. Thanks for posting, Larry.

Yeah, that’s where it comes up short compared to EZ Bass. It’s got the sounds but what I really want is a tool that will keep me from having to invite my buddy over just because he can play bass.

I was JUST about to buy EZ Bass on KVR. This is awesome. I would still use MODO for the track but build grooves in EZ Bass based on the demo. This brings them together although I was really impressed with the songwriting features in EZ.

NI are getting closer to justifying the update price for the next Komplete 14CE. Almost.

You really should tell us before you take a break. Couldn’t you just bring a laptop with you???

I was close to jumping at Whitacre last time and then remembered I haven't even touched Insolidus for a project yet. I did get Albion Tundra with this sale, though. Love it.
