Very nice. But @ $3,500 - not in my budget. I think that's more than my car is worth...

I don't have the GEM version but I've heard it's CPU use is lower AND it has features (Mid/Side control, parallel compression, multilevel undo-redo, etc.) not in the UAD versions.

That's a good one. I've used it on a couple of projects.

Now that words out they're probably experiencing high traffic. Yes, I received it. But didn't need it as it immediately appeared in my account and I already had the UA installer installed. If you haven't installed it yet, get it here: https://www.uaudio.com/downloads/ua-connect then install it, run it (will need to activate with you UAD account info, iLok account info, etc.).

Re: your comment... They should just have a friggin menu item under the gear/settings Help menu - "Rebuild/Reset databases" It would save users and their tech support much aggravation. Stupid not to.

Dunno... I started with Komplete 3 just kept upgrading as time went along but when my previous audio computer died screaming "Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!" x infinity, I had to put it down and get another rig. It's now buried in my closet among the honored pile of dead hardware that for some reason I'm still keeping. When I put together my new system I think K11 was out, I installed it and I just backfilled (separately installed) any missing plugins/libraries that I considered important but that were no longer included.

Glad you got it worked out. I didn't have that issue after upgrading.

You mean should you spend the money on a free plugin/version? I would, but that's me. If you have the collection (the set of 3) it's kind of an 'easy' version of the Silver. It's very similar to Silver version in the collection, but has slightly different presets (some but not others, and some unique presets). and All UAD Natives use iLok, but dongle isnt' required

Before you layout money for this If you ever signed up for something at https://www.stagecraftsoftware.com (Stagecraft makes XTrack) You might have a $50 credit in your account to spend. If unsure do the "I lost my password" routine and if you have an account they'll email you your password. I must have signed up for one of their freebies ages ago and in May of 2023 they deposited $50 in my account. So XFade didn't end up costing me anything. Test the demo and see if it works for you. Looks like it can cross fade between one track and one to three samples but not between 2 tracks (at least not with Cakewalk). Maybe in a DAW other than Cakewalk it'll work for you.

Are these life skills that you can apply directly to running your own recording studio and /or improve your music production techniques? Watching the walk-through the similarities are chilling...

Not ignoring your question just not sure what you mean by ‘those’ Luftrum has some nice sounding stuff and this looks like a decent sale.

Just found mine - must have futzed my search... Sent Sept 30th, it's a $50 as well. Deal now gone.

D16 Drumazon v2 plugin has been updated to version 2.0.3 (not a deal) Drumazon plugin has been updated to version 2.0.3. The new version provides: Added: Pattern Copy / Paste works between instances Fixed: Wrong title in Load Midi Map & Load Host Automation windows Loud crackles when changing some presets Download installers: https://d16.pl/downloads

I checked and I also haven't received one this or last month. Maybe it was just an oversight but Lars didn't mention stacking codes. So you didn't get one either? Edit: see follow up post 2 down.

Damn, didn't think of that. Too late now. I was a day late the previous time this was on sale wasn't going to miss it this time.

PA won't accept my Forever29 coupon... ?

Looks like multiple updates - Attracktive + libraries... Might want to update title.

https://www.boomlibrary.com/sound-effects/recenter/ Full description/hype: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/27-Stereo-Width/7980-RECENTER?a_aid=61d71088e0f85 MSRP is $89 but you might be able to pick it up cheaper at a reseller. IIRC last BF it was going for about 50% off. https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/?jsf=jet-engine:main&_s=ReCenter&meta=filter-tag:active You can download a free trial here: https://www.boomlibrary.com/sound-effects/recenter/#1619793640964-091f77b1-c34b From what I recall testing it - it's a bit overhyped but it worked. Like always YMMV.

I picked up this one last year... https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MicBoostCM1--klark-teknik-mic-booster-cm-1-dynamic-microphone-booster but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

so $35.99 with discount applied...

Not in the sense that you are asking. That's not how Synplant works https://soniccharge.com/synplant The following videos might help provide a more nuanced answer on the Genopatch mutation engine older video with more info on Genopatch.

I don't have Apollo or any other UAD hardware, so I can't use the Fender. UA 175B & 176 Tube Compressor Collection is now $149 even with coupons that's out of my reach at the moment.
