Thanks for the heads up…actually, I was commenting on how bad it was that I had it already and didn’t know. Turns out, what you describe is exactly what happened!!

I got told off that I had a copy already. So bad.

I will admit to going off camera and muted a couple of times at work during BF—not to score deals, but to see what was being reported. It was definitely a distraction. I also wear shorts and koala slippers with my work dress shirts so it’s not the first time I’ve deceived my co-workers.

I bought Tai Chi but haven’t really put it through the ringer yet. I’m still on the fence about Seventh Heaven but by this time tomorrow, I’ll probably be laying prone on the LiquidSonics side.

That's one of the biggest reasons I jumped on it - I could see the workflow would quicken and simplify my workflow at the same time. The demo didn't let me down.

Yeah, the plugin is insane but so was I when I hit "Buy".

Not a better buy (based on price alone) but I picked this up last week. It's insane. One of the best features is the ability to organize the IRs I've amassed, tag them, modify and save, mix with other IRs graphically, tone match, leverage Kirchoff IQ bands, etc., blah, blah. I have no regrets. Just being able to browse and sample IRs with a click is so gratifying. Its way more than I thought I would pay for an IR loader but it's so much more. The stock IRs are really good, too. https://www.threebodytech.com/en/products/cabinetron

$49

If you're looking for the KCE14 update, it's $230 and you can get any of the $99 freebies to boot! Bingo.

Welcome back, Larry! Pix or it didn’t happen.

K13CE update to K14CE at Thomann: $227. Anyone seen it cheaper?

Oh, Man. Totally. It's been 21 hours - what do you think? I was considering getting MIKKO on sale but I have so many IRs, it's hard to walk away from them. This looks like it could make them all a lot more interesting.

The Cyberseason sale goes all the way to January 15th. Lots of time for Santa to empty a few elf pockets for a K14CE Update.

Oh my. Totally unexpected. He gave me so much knowledge and inspiration as I’m sure he did many others. Such a loss.

I can use up to 21 Jampoints in my cart; the question is, do I really need MAX given all of the user profiles and the fact that some of the IK ones are duds? I already have Tonex, just not MAX.

Do the IR packs work within Mikko2 or are they static IRs that would be used in something like NadIR? In other words, if I buy an IR pack, would they work in the free version of Mikko2 with all of the mic position options? They just show a dude playing a guitar in the Zilla cabs video and no mention of Mikko2.

This has been a banner week for inspirational marketing copy. “Get the sound of the Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor RW quilted maple in your DAW as a virtual instrument. Sandberg is the second largest bass company in Germany, producing absolute top-quality instruments. The smell of this beautiful woodwork in the shape of a VST3 and AU plug-in will burn your DAW.”

“…to ensure your music touches the soul, not just the ears.” And here I thought it was just me lack of talent.

Isn't it a minimum of $100 for the $75 vouchers? I was looking at that but thought I would have to add another tuner for $5 but all the cheap stuff is regular price.

I love it. I usually build the song with SD3 and transpose MIDI with MIDI Remap. It sounds excellent but yes, the UI can be a challenge. And the authentication issues have burned some but they’ve largely been overcome. It includes 7 kits that I still prefer, sonically, to what is in SD3. Comparatively speaking, I don’t think AD2 or EZD3 are “better” than BFD3 (I think the samples in BFD3 are much better) but Toontrack changed everything by focusing on supporting workflow and an amazing user experience. I can’t live without SD3 for that reason. For the money (free) I find the SSD5 free kit and presets to be an excellent option if you don’t want/can’t sink money into a platform like Toontrack. November is Metal Month at Toontrack—If you’re leaning toward Toontrack, I would wait to see if there’s any incentive to pick up EZD3. Otherwise, BFD3 at $49 is a great deal, but I’m well entrenched in that ecosystem already.

I’m good thanks.
