Here you go Reid! (no sarcasm implied or intended) I like content. I like not NOT having to go the vendor website to find out if I'm even interested or if it's an update should I bother?

Or as previously suggested once you buy it don't activate; use it to upgrade to 11 when it comes out. So you'll go from 10 to 11 for $36

If I recall correctly D16 Sigmund was listed as a favorite delay among a number of respected forum users a couple of year back.

While I like the AXE I/O I don't know to what degree it contributed to the whole. The previous time I used it was with a BC Rich Warlock and I spent a while tweaking the various parameters. I tried the Helix, meh , moved to IKM Amplitube where I got an decent 80's-ish rock lead / rhythm tone. This last time I grabbed the traveler guitar, a no-name clear blue guitar cable, plugged it in and adjusted the input gain on the AXE I/O then sampled some of the first 10 Helix presets with the ideal of throwing down some tracks to capture an idea and if it sounded like crap I'd rerecord it later with the Rich or my Les Paul; but I was very pleasantly surprised. I've tried recording the Traveler before but didn't care for it but as a non plugged in practice guitar, love it. So I don't know if it's the full combo or not that yields the mana, this happened just before all my free time got diverted into finding & moving dad to an Assisted Living Facility. Still dealing with that, but I pop here in the forum now & then for a mental break.

@ensconced similar to what I went through. I own crapload of Line6 stuff and frankly I was insulted that after investing so much in their company and gear that the best upgrade price they offered was $299. And I wasn't impressed at all with it when I demoed it. Then I tried Helix Native with AXE I/O in combo with my Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Acoustic and the waters parted, a choir of virgins started singing, my tinitus went away... I was dumbstruck. I've been trying to find the holy grail guitar / direct box / amp sim combo and while some have close none really had more than a small set of tones I could tolerate. This guitar only has a friggin piezo pickup but the combo rocks & and the clean tones chime. The only reason I tried it is because it's my to go lay about practice guitar and I had an idea I wanted to capture before it evaporated. Haven't had time to really debug why it even works, too many things right now want to go sideways but thought I take a moment to share. BTW I ended up buying a used license from someone on the Line 6 forum. Upside cost me $150, downside license is now NFR.

There are if you sign up for Line6's newsletter (which you probably already are) at the following link: https://line6.com/allure/ Can't testify to the quality, haven't had a chance to do more that figure out how to use them in Helix, but can't argue about the price.

At some point I upgraded or bought some license addon for my PodFarm so that I wouldn't have to use the interface as a dongle. But thinking about it an iLok would be less restrictive as the software license is a single computer installation. I recently picked up up Helix Native. Haven't done much with it due to time constraints but I like it. Seems to have more, to my taste, usable tones than PodFarm but haven't really explored tones in PodFarm in ages.

P-140 Reverb Plate - previously updated, no new updates this round. Pigments I just forgot to include when I took the screen shots.

and probably half the price...

What's showing in mine, YMMV Here's changes for one of them, most probably have similar improvements & bug fixes... B-3 V2 V 2.2.0 Improvements: Faster preset loading time, especially in AU, VST3 and AAX Interface loading is now faster Animations are now smoother Animations CPU consumption is now reduced New convolution reverb engine VST3 presets now supported A pop-up is now shown when instruments vst/au/aax and system files are mismatching Bug fixes: Remove / replace an instrument no longer crashes Logic 10.5.1 Midi Learn now works after clicking on Delete Current Config Resize the user interface is not fluid and doesn't lead to a blank screen anymore No more animation glitches when opening the advanced panel Control + click is now supported on all Mac models. Factory presets can now be saved in playlists

I use to have that problem. But with a sense of firm resolve, sheer determination and a clear lack of establishing priorities I've managed to cut that number down to 350.

Looks like it... but not for Windows versions. At the time I double checked their news page, https://www.fabfilter.com/news/ had not been updated and the latest news was from June 18th.

I subscribed to Adobe for years. It's a great package if it generates income for you (as when I was a web designer/programmer) or if you have someone else is paying the bill. Otherwise paying $600 a year (or $360 if you can hold out for the new user or we miss you specials) for something that evaporates the moment your subscription expires is foolish. It's like if Waves billed you for WUP on a monthly or yearly basis and if you missed a payment all their plugins stopped working. It's their commercial customers that let Adobe thrive with their subscription scheme, that and Adobe's ruthless constant vigilance of their licensing. Large firms get audited (where every workstation gets scanned for Adobe software) on a regular basis for potential license abuse.

You'd think with all the claims they'd have a slew of audio demos showcasing it's great processing... but no. Doesn't mean that it's not good but there's a lot of cheaper competition out there for the moths in our wallets - for example Waves OVOX and iZotope VocalSynth. While it will probably be a bit pricey Zynaptiq's Orange Vocoder IV with Windows support (VST 2.4 & VST3 versions) is supposed to be coming out soon.

Demo links not working...

Used to use PSPro back when and it was very handy. At the time there were a couple of things that it could do easier & better than Photoshop. Is it still viable? or have newer tools surpassed it in terms of value? Edit: @James Foxall your post popped in while I was submitting mine. Thanks for heads up.
