Totally agree. I also need to make my puns more explicit.

Well that stopped me dead in my tracks.

Well done!!

Yeah, this is bad. As a Riff Generation customer and one that just bought SSS1 on sale, I expect more. Maybe not on price, but on how how they want(ed) to keep me as a customer.

I have FX Collection 1 and stopped there - I wouldn't get around to using some of the new plugins in FX2 but Intensity Reverb is one of my favorite go-to reverbs. It's transparent and lush but at the same time has lots of ways to morph tails, add drive, stutter and LFO effects, etc. Not too bad on CPU - pretty much along the lines of FF Pro-R. Lots of good presets to give you a head start. I do like their compressors, too - really solid emulations. I haven't looked at TRacks since getting them.

Reminds me a lot of Output's Portal - too much so to pick it up even at $29, but if you don't have Portal this thing is a blast.

I should have stated clearly in my earlier post that I was referring to the great value that the V4 plugins are - thought that was explicit in calling out their average price vs. the V3 versions that are now freely available. I have Barricade, Reverb 4, and EQ4 and use them often, even with similar Fabfilter plugins available. Just another option to have but they do some things differently than FF that I just flat out appreciate. Clean UIs and easy to use. Sound great with relatively light CPU hit.

Thanks, Jack and Michael. Duly noted re: older CPUs, Jack - the 8700 would still be a significant upgrade from what I have now so it's still a consideration. Are the heat issues you've seen in the XPS machines a result of the CPU or is it a design issue for the model itself? Jack, interested to hear what you find as you bring up your old projects. Would you mind sharing what liquid cooling unit you went with?

Sorry! Sorry! I was referring to the V4 plug-ins!!!! Should have quoted the post prior to mine!!!!

For $32 a plugin (average) you cannot beat the value. The demos work in perpetual trial - you can't save presets or store your settings but they're fully functional. I had no problem ponying up the asking price for three of them. If I didn't have so much redundancy already, I would buy the rest with no hesitation.

Motherboard is deceased in my i7-4790 system. I have used Dell Precision builds successfully for years and am looking at similar machines that have the following CPUs: Dell Precision 3630 i7-8700 3.20GHz Dell Precision 3620 i7-7700K 4.2GHz Dell XPS 8940 i7-11700 2.50GHz I use Kontakt, SD3, Neural DSP plugins a lot. Freeze most tracks if there are glitches. Overclocking on the 8700 gets within 8700K territory for speed but the 7700K is no slouch, either. Obviously, the 11700 is much newer technology but all systems are within $200 of one another including 32Gb RAM. Not planning on upgrading to W11 unless there are obvious advantages. Is there an obvious choice in terms of latency and processing efficiency? Hard to tell using UserBenchmark.com....

But are they downloaded and loaded, Bapu? That's all we need to know.

I thought it was all about collecting. You mean I gotta use this thing, too???????

The only things I've wanted was to be able to actually read the text on their plugins (rescalable GUI) and to fix the gawdawful IR browse in all of their amp sims. Despite the chorus to do so they're releasing more of the same. I sure hope at least one of those issues are addressed here. Otherwise, ICGAFSF.

I have never hear of this and it looks amazing.

But I have 7 copies of all their other plug-ins after the Group Buy. Totally unfair.

$16.86 with virtual cash applied. Maybe I’ll wait ‘til it’s 90% off…said no one ever.

Hmmmm….if it’s truly “filthy” and they’ve got Lemmy covered, it must be the Softube Philthy Taylor drum compressor.

So is this something that would make Gig Performer 4 integrate (or simply work) within a DAW?

Look at all those lovely knobs and buttons!

Any Izotope Elements. Softube Time and Tone bundle; even though not “free” as it required a hardware purchase, it was added for free. Then I opened my wallet to them.

Anyone have this or American Class A? Interested to hear opinions while they're both on sale...

At 11:47 I was yelling at my monitor "Zo, hit the damn button!!!! I think this was just on sale. Kicking meself. Another superb video, Zo!!!!!

That was my next question. I've already tried using my remaining Jam Points at the Beer Cave but they gave me a funny look.

I got a $25 AND $50 monthly voucher last night—can I stack them?
