Has already been posted here: I see you're a Polyverse staff member. I love how it's snowing notes on your website ?

@Doug Rintoul I noticed that many of their instruments only have a four star rating at PB. And in my experience, people are usually generous with their ratings there. I have no personal experience with their products though. At least some of them look good. So, what's wrong with them? Just sounds bad? Or are they buggy? Bad support? What is it?

From the newsletter: Go to https://collection.ostaudio.net/synthwave, enter "BLACKX50" at checkout and get it for 26€ + VAT, which would be €32.58 in Germany. I already have most of the packs that are included, but if I didn't: I'd buy it. I've never seen it that cheap. You also get lifetime updates, according to the site.

None of these really feel like they're worth 99€ to me though.

Everything is better with a link: https://www.bestservice.com/en/deals/best_service_free_products_promotion_5489.html ?

Individual Muze products are 90% off at Plugin Boutique if you don't need them all.

Tip for Ableton Live users: There's a website that allows you to convert FL Studio files to Ableton Live: https://jukeblocks.io/ It's a subscription that costs €4.30 per month but you can cancel any time. According to the website the converter still is work in progress but I'm quite satisfied with the results that I got. Also, you can find a lot of free FLP files at waproduction.com in the free section.

I took the opportunity to go outside for a change and I discovered things that I've never seen before. Cars, trees, people ...

I even forgot that I already downloaded this new version two weeks ago. And I didn't even install it yet ? Nothing wrong with the software, it's just that when I get something for free, I appreciate it less than when I've spent money on it. Strange, but that's how my brain works. ?

Oh. I see. Isn't that what Melodyne/Autotune and vocal chains are there for?

@PavlovsCat that already exists: https://www.vocs.ai/

@Matthew Carr that's one scary warning message. Strangely, I didn't get that warning, though I use Windows too. I hope I didn't install malware ?

Effect Rack 5 for $132.61 instead of $149 at JRR Shop with coupon code "forum"

@PavlovsCat nice idea. I think it deserves its own thread. The KVR Forum has a monthly contest, called the One Synth Challenge, where they name one free synth (a different one each month) and participants are only allowed to use that synth. So that's somewhat similar. You can also win prices in those challenges. You find it in their instruments section: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1 They're way more restrictive though. Even drums and percussion have to be created with the synth.

Standard is fully sufficient, especially if you already own a lot of plugins and samples. But still, I think that the price difference for Suite is absolutely justified. You really get a whole lot of instruments and samples, a better sampler, some synthesizers, effects plugins and Max4Live. Max4Live was the reason I bought the Suite edition. There are some cool Max4Live devices on the market, like Song Sketch 2 that lets you turn your session clips into a whole arrangement based on arrangement templates, with the click of a button. Learning how to create your own Max4Live devices takes some time, but they provide a lot of free tutorials and example devices that guide you through the process. I must admit that I haven't taken the time myself to do that.

I wouldn't say it's that bad. I actually liked the first version. My expectations for the upgrade might just have been a little too high.

I thought about posting this but then I watched their video and was a little underwhelmed.

You came too late ?

I bought it for the same price in September. I like it. It's fun to work with. Awesome interface.

SynthMaster has already been on sale recently, I think the latest was at Plugin Boutique. Now the official website has its own Black Friday sale. https://www.synthmaster.com/ Sale between 15-30 November SynthMaster 2 78% OFF $129 $29 crossgrade starts from $19 USD SynthMaster One 80% OFF $99 $19 crossgrade starts from $9 USD SynthMaster Player 83% OFF $29 $5 Everything Bundle 71% OFF $449 $129 upgrade starts from $89 USD. One + Two Bundle 69% OFF $159 $49 upgrade starts from $49 USD. Good news: It seems that SynthMaster 3 really might be released soon. Like really really, this time. I joined their Facebook group. In fact, I created a Facebook account just to join them. And what do I see? This post that was posted three days ago: Update: I just read that he wrote it will take two more months ?. That was six days ago.

Nice, thanks. I also see his ads a lot, but on Instagram. Not for "The_Build", but for "The_Instrument", which looks quite promising. I'm a little skeptical when something is very present in ads but so little present outside of the ads. Meaning, nobody else sells it, nobody seems to talk about it. It would basically be non-existent without the ads. Does anyone have "The_Instrument"? If yes, is it good? I know they have a 30 day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee, but I hate asking for a refund. It's one of the plugins that I'd be tempted to buy if it was like 50% off on Black Friday.

@pseudopop yes, I know, but I'm not sure if the free upgrade to Legacy is also true for people who got the license second hand. Because technically it means that I did purchase it after November 2022.

I have the feeling of Deja vu

Zebra 2 second hand is an option too, but I haven't seen a good offer yet

Soundtoys Black Friday deals are starting in one day and four hours. I might buy Effect Rack. Maybe not. Still undecided. Would be nice if F9 Audio has BF sales. U-he Zebra still is on my wishlist. That's it.
