I seldom find something good to buy there. Most prices are too high. Serum Preset Packs by Tonepusher cost around three times as much as they cost on tonepusher.com, for example. But I appreciate their freebies, like 20 designers for 2020 And while many are still upset about the Nectar Plus fail, where they sold it for $12.50 but then people didn't get their license, or couldn't keep it, because it was a mistake, I still love them for it, because I did get to keep it. And got my money back! Plus, they offered their ADSR Drum Machine - which really isn't bad, by the way - along with four expansions for $12.50 to make up for the mistake. I gladly accepted the offer. But then they made another mistake: The downloads didn't work at first. So gave me four more sample packs for free to make up for that mistake too. In the end I got Nectar Plus, ADSR Drum Machine, four ADSR Drum Machine expansions, four sample packs, all for $12.50. That's why they still have a place in my heart ?

I don't know. Vinyl sounds. I've got them in every low-fi plugin already. Vybz, RC-20, Lo-Fi-Af, Needlepoint, Izotope Vinyl. Plus a ton of samples of vinyl-typical crackles, scratches, noise and dust. I don't see how yet another plugin like this could add anything new and exciting. I'm not going to buy something just to get this plugin for free.

I like the idea of having a DI guitar on which I can slap AmpliTube or Guitar Rig to get various different types of electric guitar characters. That's why I bought Wedge Force Matcha. But I just couldn't get it to sound good. Looking at online comments I then realised that I'm not alone.

The JULY50 coupon code is still valid, plus they have sales on a lot of sample packs. I just got the The Artist Series Loop Bundle for around 45€. It contains 43 sample packs, many of them by famous artists, Clyde Stubblefield, for example. Plus you can get the Multitrack Sessions 75% off with MT75. The Greybox Sessions are already reduced to 7.95€, so with the code it's around 2€ each. You get Ableton Live and Logic Pro session files with various instruments playing a different section per track, like intro, chorus, break, and so on.

Thank you

It seems so. The page still exists. I thought the deal was over because it's no longer promoted on their homepage. Here is the direct link: https://www.ghosthack.de/producer-bundle-madness

They had a bundle recently, UPB2020 + UPB2021 for €54.94 with that coupon code.

Wow. Thank you for pointing that out. Is it even royalty-free with a clause like that?

Did they have sales for the Virtual Guitar upgrades last Black Friday? If yes, for how much did they sell the upgrades?

Any big improvements? I already liked version 6 so much, I wouldn't even know what to improve.

I can afford to buy audio software every now and then just for fun but it might be that the financial insecurity that comes with inflation has made me spend MORE money on it. For two reasons: 1. If I don't spend my savings, they'll just lose value anyway. So 10€ today might have a value of 2€ in a few years. 2. I got hooked by deals because I feel like I'm saving money even though I'm actually spending money on unnecessary things. Yes, I'm irrational like that sometimes. Even reflecting about it doesn't help. It's an addiction, I guess.

"Have you ever wished you could capture the audio or MIDI that you just played or heard on your computer? Now you can with Rewind v2" Captures the last played MIDI notes. That's a built-in feature in Ableton Live. Does the plugin add any extra options or something? Like go back the last ten or so played MIDI phrases? And don't all popular DAWs have that feature?

They also have Logik projects and Kontakt instruments. And their latest products also offer Bitwig versions.

Very wise. Anyway, if you like their genres, such as house, nu disco, synthwave, don't forget about them. They're my absolute favorite vendor of Ableton Live templates and racks. High quality, low prices (the aforementioned products contain 5 to 7 project files each and 8 GB of sample-based instrument racks/Kontakt libraries). You can also get up to 30% with vouchers, like non-personalized loyalty-vouchers, newsletter-subscription vouchers, and so on. If you need one, write me a DM.

If you're like me and like to buy project files, I can highly recommend the Trax products, such as Electric Disco II or Grid Trilogy. They contain all the Ableton Live project files that were used for creating the demo tracks, as well as multisampled instrument racks. F9 was founded by James Wiltshire, who you might know from The Freemasons. He also has a great YouTube channel where he gives tips for music production.

I'll do that. For Ableton racks I can also recommend F9 Audio. You probably already know them, but if you don't, have a look.

Nice, thank you I just realized that they have a huge selection of taster-packs: https://modeaudio.com/free-taster-sound-packs It's tedious to download them all manually, but with an extension like DownThemAll! it's just one click.

Thanks, @ralfrobert and @PavlovsCat I bought it now and after a first quick look I think that was a good decision. Some really nice sounds in there. Crazy what you can get for $10 sometimes.

That sounds like a great offer. I have no experience with Puremagnetic though. Are their products good?

Am I the only one who doesn't like Cube Mini that much? I got it for free from PB, gave it a few tries, but it never clicked with me.

I expect it to come with factory presets, just like all other players. Maybe a little less presets than the full version. If he's already working on a first patch pack then I see that as an indicator that I might be right with the assumption that the main goal of the player is to sell additional soundbanks. In fact, as I think about it, I can't think of any player version that you can't get for free, except for Synthmaster Player which is often available for less than $10 and free only occasionally. Do you know any plugin player version that never sells for less than $10?

If you look at other vendors you'll see that player versions often are sold around $10 or even free, even for sophisticated synths like Analog Lab or Synthmaster or AAS products. In the end the developer probably doesn't have to program that much new stuff for the player version, just remove the interface for tweaking the sounds. I believe players often are free or sold cheap to get people to buy soundbanks or to get them hooked, so that they might upgrade to the real thing.

Nice. I tried the demo of Hyperion and really liked some of the sounds but find the patch editor quite daunting, so a player version would be just right for me. I wonder how much it will cost. I could have bought the full version for $22.50 at JRR shop, so I'd probably only buy the player for about half that price. I read on that discord channel that he already presented it on the NAMM in April, so I think and hope that it won't take too long until it gets released.

I just bought it. There are lots of really nice presets inside. And the collection seems quite versatile, useful for many different genres.

I can't find any information about it on the internet. And isn't it "Hydro"? Looks like Hydro on the screenshot.
