Same experience. Tried using it several times but always ended up pulling it.

Hey Mesh - I would definitely give it a try. There's been a couple of times when a track has been too dry (in context of a mix) but I couldn't find the right verb or delay that worked and then found that blackhole ended up giving it the right character. It's rarely the first verb I go for but sometimes it's the one I'm happy with.

Nice price. Anyone know how this compares to Volcano II?

I'm thinking that they probably had to disable the MIDI Learn in order to get Catalina version working (probably same core code deployed to different platforms) so they could ship in time for VD. If that's the case they'll hopefully come up with another update in short term to restore it.

I don’t have the delays nor the non-free reverbs. So this probably falls into no-brained territory even if I don’t need more delays or verbs.

At last, a use for my $30 coupon! Just picked it up.

Reverbs, delays, filters, compressors & preamps (15 items in all). MSRP $399 on sale for $299, upgrade discounts available. My upgrade price is $49 https://www.arturia.com/products/software-effects/fx-collection/overview?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-02-12-fx-collection&utm_campaign=cta-buy

Only the Filters, Preamps, & Filter Mini loose MIDI Learn. Comps (all 3) & Plate don't.

The only real pain is installing both plugins on each track - if you're looking for the pairing. BTW both Precedence & Breeze are excellent individual apps.

I have this and it works well. Precedence is also good at adding a subtle animation to a track that can keep it from getting buried without it being obviously effected or obnoxious.

Ditto to above. Nuttin new on my side...

Dragonfly is an algorithmic reverb and doesn't use IRs, convolution reverbs do.

Nice find!

I guess that she was not as big a fan of heavy metal....

Anyone have this puppy? Does it do anything different or better than the competition (is Waves, iZotope, Etc)

Ditto. Some vendors place their VST3 in subfolders in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 I also use subfolders under ...\VST3 to organize my VST3s and reduce clutter. Not at home so I can't test if this a now problem.

iZotope has numerous helper dlls in the same folder that are not actual plugins - the scanner rejects them and moves on.

Is it safe to assume that VST3 plugins NOT in Program Files\Common Files\VST3 will not be scanned? I've seen a couple of plugins install their VST3s in their VST2 folder. It won't bother me either way because I move 'em if I catch that their not installing in the correct locations, but curious.

Agreed but here it is. If you're curious there was an earlier post & discussion on MIDI 2.0 in the Coffee House forum section back when the proposed spec was announced. Many of the same topics/issues debated there along with additional information.

Lol took me a while to find this original thread. Below is part of an email that went out to MIDI Association members on Mon Jan 27th. ********************************** MIDI 2.0 Adopted at Winter NAMM 2020! Hi , At the Annual Meeting of the MIDI Manufacturers Association during Winter NAMM 2020, MMA members in attendance unanimously completed the adoption of the core MIDI 2.0 specifications including five core documents.
