When I had the Spark sub (paused for now) Capital Chambers was stunning. Sunset is really great and more versatile, but it doesn't quite have the depth Capital has nor can it do the longer lengths that Capital can.

So if you get the LUNA Pro Bundle, you get the individual plugins too? So I could use Studer, API, etc, in Logic? Odd though, the price says $199 but adding to my cart shows $299. Thought if it was $199, it would be $149 with the coupon. $249 would be a no go. Essentials + API Vision, API 2500, Studer and ATR-102 for $149 seemed pretty good.

I just bought smart:gate. Any comparison?

Doesn't seem to add anything even at $10 over stuff I have... Logic stock, Guitar Rig 6, MixBox, Arturia FX3, etc. Am I missing something?

As I mentioned... the best upgrade deal is the Black Friday sale. Pretty sure they'll continue the tradition - $99 to upgrade any V Collection to the latest and I think it's $69 to update to the latest FX Collection. If you don't think it's a good deal yet, wait a year.

I (almost) always wait for the Black Friday upgrade sales and then decide if I'll wait another year to get a better deal. Might snag a few preset packs I've been looking at though.

Had the CM versions of a couple of them but never stuck around as keepers or give me the urge to plunk down cash for them.

Off topic, I know, but as a Mac user, I was very pleased to see Air reviving those old synths and doing Apple silicon versions. I always thought Vacuum Pro had a great sound to it. I dig AAS and need to use UA more. The free player with Swatches is pretty impressive and very awesome they do the Christmas preset freebie pick! I use Logic more than Live, but nice to have the AAS instruments there too.

One of those very short lived JRRshop deals. Haven't been too happy on how they're rolling out these 26th anniversary deals. Probably better off though not getting more plugins! ?

Klanghelm freebies - https://klanghelm.com/contents/freeware (saturator, reverb and two character comps) Kilohearts Essentials - https://kilohearts.com/products/kilohearts_essentials (Transient Shaper, Dynamics, great utility bundle) Saw Arturia, NI, Valhalla, Fuse and TDR already mentioned and second those!

I'll probably still pass but, yeah, the MIDI is the most interesting part!

Ah, thanks - guess they got things back in order! It was $29 at AD a while ago. I passed then and still might. Have so much! But this is one that to me has a more unique sound and might be nice to have and mess with in Falcon.

Odd. They don't seem to be showing any sale prices now. Was pondering Sunbox for $31, but now it's showing the full $79 price.

To bypass the site registration slowness, just snag it directly though Analog Lab.

Conversation still falls under "alternative recommendation" I'd say! ?

I demoed it a while back and remember liking it. The $19 sale price is good too. I remember watching some video where they used Multipass with one IR on the mids and another on the highs and thought it sounded really nice.

Thanks for that. As much as I might like to support Melda, I don't think I need the MB version. Kilohearts Convolver is on my list when it's $19 again on next sale. Good number of IRs and will be fun to mess with in Snap Heap and Multipass.

"This app bundle is available only on the App Store for iPhone and iPad."

I waited to go from 11 Suite to 12 for a while - looks like I paid $68 for it. I'd probably pay $68 for the 13 update for the synth, delay and few more effects. The delay looks pretty well thought out - not that I need anymore delays of course! $49 for sure.

I'll hit 52 on Thursday. Not too bad - maybe a slight angle downhill. ?

Same. I still snag the freebies and have plenty in my account but stopped installing them and haven't installed Waves at all on my M2. Have plenty of other plugins that do the same or similar.

Ug... I've heard so many good things about this one! I might have go for it and see if it replaces my beloved Lindell 80.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't have gotten it at $64, just went to check it out and saw the price back up. To each their own!
