"You pay later"... with your first-born's life! Naaaah, just kidding. Sowwy, I'll see myself out.

If you're gonna spend $62 for two of the effecs, I think it's better to buy the whole bundle of eight effects for $149.

I bought it for $11.99 from APD. Also because I got SwishSwoosh's Amber for Kontakt, which looks kinda interesting.

If it helps anyone, I asked the AI Claude 3.5 Sonnet to look at the complete list of plugins I have, find the ones similar to Freezr, and then compare them to this product. This is what it said: "I'll analyze Audiomodern Freezr and compare it to your existing plugins that have similar functionality. First, let's look at what Freezr does: Audiomodern Freezr is a creative audio effect plugin that allows users to freeze, loop, and manipulate audio in real-time. Its main features include: Freezing audio at specific points Creating stutter effects Looping sections of audio Pitch shifting frozen audio Filtering and modulation options Randomization features Now, let's identify plugins from your list that have similar functionality: Audio Damage: Replicant 2 Baby Audio: Magic Dice Cableguys: ShaperBox 3 (specifically the Time module) Eventide: H3000 Factory Mk II, H910 Harmonizer, H949 Harmonizer Freakshow Industries: MISHBY, PocketDimension izotope: Stutter Edit 2 Melda Productions: MSpectralDelay Unfiltered Audio: Sandman Pro, Instant Delay Sugar Bytes: Effectrix Let's compare these plugins to Freezr: Audio Damage Replicant 2: Offers similar stutter and glitch effects, but with a focus on rhythmic sequencing. It doesn't have the same freezing capabilities as Freezr. Baby Audio Magic Dice: Provides randomized effects, including some stutter-like features, but lacks the specific freezing and looping functionality of Freezr. Cableguys ShaperBox 3 (Time module): Offers advanced time manipulation effects, including stutter and loop features. It's more comprehensive than Freezr but may be more complex to use. Eventide H3000 Factory Mk II, H910, and H949 Harmonizers: These are more focused on pitch shifting and delay effects. While they can create some similar sounds, they don't have the specific freezing and looping features of Freezr. Freakshow Industries MISHBY and PocketDimension: These offer glitch and time-based effects, but with a different approach and interface. They may achieve similar results but don't have the same workflow as Freezr. iZotope Stutter Edit 2: This is perhaps the closest match to Freezr. It offers advanced stutter, freeze, and effect sequencing capabilities. It's more feature-rich than Freezr but may also be more complex to use. Melda Productions MSpectralDelay: While it can create some similar effects, it's more focused on spectral processing and doesn't have the same freezing capabilities as Freezr. Unfiltered Audio Sandman Pro and Instant Delay: These are primarily delay plugins with some freezing and looping capabilities, but they're not as focused on the specific functionality that Freezr offers. Sugar Bytes Effectrix: This is a multi-effect sequencer that can create stutter and glitch effects similar to Freezr, but with a different workflow and additional effect types. Conclusion: While you have several plugins that can create similar effects to Freezr, none of them offer the exact same combination of features and ease of use. Stutter Edit 2 is probably the closest in terms of functionality, but it's more complex. Freezr might offer a simpler, more focused approach to freezing and looping audio. However, given the overlap with your existing plugins, whether it's worth $11 depends on how much you value its specific workflow and interface."

I guess this is the new version of the plugin that many people are very dissatisfied with? I saw many complaints on other forums. So, before installing, I would check out if there's any personal need to just get a newer version. I haven't updated the plugin, because the old and trusted version does the job perfectly already.

I bought V Collection 8 from them before for $49 like this. I think I just used a VPN into the US, and had a random American address as "billing address". (I used my country's embassy's address, that always works.) But I haven't tried to buy anything boxed from them, although it's probably easy to just have it sent to anyone you know in the US. Then they can send you the relevant codes.

I'm in the same situation, and my personal answer is "no". V2 already has most of the things I need from a creative point of view, and I even got several of the plugins in V5 for free already. So I'm waiting until FX Collection 6 and V Collection 11 (I have 8), I guess.

You don't need it. Instead do what my actual producer friend always tells me: "Actually finish tracks with the tools you have, and in that process you should be learning how to do what you what with them. And then, only then, you might discover there are things they can't do. If you really need those things, maybe you can allow yourself to buy the thing that does what you want."

I might pick this up, because owning M-Tron Pro (not IV) doesn't give me any discount when I add MkII to cart on the GForce site. But I only have to pay 39.99 GBP to upgrade M-Tron Pro to M-Tron Pro IV. Which makes sense, since MkII is simply a different product.

Or just get it for free directly from the developer, and see what else they have for free as well: https://ko-fi.com/thezhe

Yeah, this is not intuitive. I'm sure they even lose sales, because it's not apparent for owners of previous versions how to get to that upgrade price. And I should probably tell THEM this instead of posting it here. So I will send it to them as well.

Exactly. Like every year, I'll have to patiently wait until November/December, and then upgrade my Synth Stack to get everything by them. That usually means each instrument drops to around $20-25 – even though I'm sure this is totally worth $89 or even more. However, since the individual synths are getting more costly, I wonder if they'll raise the update price for Synth Stack as well?

These are already free right now at the Diginoiz website, as part of their anniversary: Diginoiz - Beyond The Love Diginoiz - Cloud Pads Diginoiz - High Heel Vocals Vol. 1 Diginoiz - I Am R&B Diginoiz - Lil Gucci Sauce Diginoiz - Orchestral One Shots 4 Diginoiz - Producersdiary Exclusives 2 Diginoiz - Saint Songz Diginoiz - The Piano Man Diginoiz - Trap Chiefs Producers Kit Diginoiz - Trap Roses 3 Diginoiz - Urban Fame Diginoiz - Urban Shine

I grabbed all his free packs just in case, will take a look at them when I have time... some time in the future.

Wow – if that's the reality, that would be disappointing. Hope there's a good explanation for it.

Seems like it's permanently free here: https://go.mastering.com/optin1690400043647

Just use symbolic links and put everything that takes up a lot of space on an external hard drive. Easy peasy once you've set it up.

Maybe for the next company they'd set up?

Still not possible to upgrade from my existing Sonible products. Grrrr.

Could you share how to? I would like to get this working, since I miss Pro-53. I have Ableton Live 11 on a MacBook Air M1.

To be fair, you can also rent Capstan instead of buying it outright.

Probably a cool little drum machine for newcomers? But I have it sampled and recreated in so many ways, so I personally don't need it.

Bought it for $29.40. Just seemed rude not to use that 70% discount.

Right, I remember now that they said that. And I was fine with it, since I'm more of a tweaker of presets and not a sound designer, so I probably don't NEED any of the features in v3. So I just need to remember that when the GAS starts hitting me...
