Nice. GForce’s Axxess is now part of their plugin suite. I already got it free with Loopcloud but for those who missed it this is good news.

GTA 6. Everyone on the internet uses that.

Only one I can think of would be that if you've used the player in some projects, they'll be broken if you uninstall it.

That's what free demo versions are usually there for. I'm not rich enough to be euphoric about having spent $25 just to NOT have something in the end. 😄

u-he have updated ACE, Bazille, Diva and Hive 2. The updates are free. What's new? MPE Support experimental "Key Control" option for mouseless operation drag & drop functionality for those situations where using the mouse is best CLAP Support

With the new issue of Beat Magazine you get Cableguys TimeShaper 3 for free. German issue already available for subscribers at www.plugins-samples.com. As usual there's also a new Zampler expansion included, called Alpha Base with 93 Trap-Kicks, Metal-Drums & Techno-Chords.

That's worth posting as a deal. I have Atlas, I love it. $49 is a great price.

I think most people know that. The instrument mode is frustrating for many users because it doesn't let you play notes like on a keyboard. Instead, the right hand plays the fretboard and the left hand defines how you trigger the notes that have been activated by the fretboard-hand. That ensures that whatever you play is actually possible for a real guitarist to play too, and gives more realistic results, but doesn't give you the freedom of easily playing any combination of notes. What many people would like to have, I believe, is an instrument mode where you hit C2 and the guitar plays C2. Hit D4 and the guitar plays D4. But Silk 2 doesn't offer that, neither in Play, nor in instrument mode.

XO shows €77.40 for me here.

Acknowledging that you've got an addiction is the first step. I feel like people like to joke about GAS but I think it's a serious addiction that can cost people lots of money. I once started to write down everything Audio-related that I bought into a Google Sheet and was shocked when I realized how much money I've spent in the last three years. Now instead of buying more and more, I only get freebies, sell some licenses and maybe spend like 10€ every few months. What helped me is to realize how little the things that I buy actually contribute to my music. And to remember that I'm just doing this as a hobby. What might be a must-have for a serious producer might be a total waste in my hands as I don't even know how to use it properly. When tempted to buy something, I ask myself these questions: Do I really need it? Have people been able to make great music without it? (The answer is always "yes", of course) Do I have similar products? If I have similar products, have I really used them to their full potential yet? Does this new thing do anything I absolutely need? When reading the comments there might be this overall consensus that it'd be tragic to miss this amazing deal. Don't let that impress you. Remember the many times where you fell into that trap just to later think "hm ... I don't really find it as great as the people in the forum do". Am I just trying to compensate lack of skills by buying things? That never works.

Also: New version update of Spire seems to be around the corner. They've announced Spire AI which seems to be an AI-driven preset generator. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=613346

@Fleer this one's for you https://reveal-sound.com/store/product/The_Sight

Too late 😉https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/80825-humblebundle-samples-loops-and-virtual-instruments-with-q-up-arts-remix/

I'm cured too! 🙌 Somehow it happened when I tried AI music. I realised that the reason I couldn't create music like that myself wasn't the lack of software or samples but the lack of productivity, skills and knowledge. I've spent like 10€ in the last three months. Prior to that I'd easily spend 100€ and more per month. I still take some freebies though.

Nice. I have a whole lot of their soundbanks already but not this one yet.

I know. I posted that link. At the very top.

I didn't have to pay anything. This is what I see:

Got this via newsletter: https://rigid-audio.com/products_synferno.html They have a few freebies in their shop, and I know that some of them used to cost money, like Lupus. I have no idea when they started to give them away for free. Might want to have a look: https://rigidaudio.onfastspring.com/
