With over 43 GB of meticulously recorded samples from nearly 900 individual instruments, KONTAKT Factory Library 2 is the perfect introduction to the world of sampled instruments. Previously only available with a purchase of KONTAKT 7, you can now pick it up at a special price for use with the free KONTAKT 7 PLAYER. 

Nice but I'll wait till I can pick up KONTAKT 7

YMMV but for a variety of reasons this isn't my cup of tea.  

Probably the best deal going for this kind of headphone modeler app/plugin.

Edit: LOL Once they get the bugs worked out... Currently has some major issues.

I think it was mentioned that ToneX would be updated to allow loading a second Capture for Boost/Drive pedal. 

So switching banks, etc. only work with current capture?  

Thanks for the info.

So other than rendering it in the audio (first) there's no way to embed panning, volume swells, etc. in a groove clip? 

Rats.  
 

How to create automation tracks that are bound to a groove-clip?

I want the automation lanes bound to the grove-clip not the track the groove-clip is in.

 

PASS.
UAD has some great stuff but AFAIC (as someone who has several thousand plugins) their native plugins have arrived too late to the party; IMHO the substantial cost of adding their plugins to my library to replace similar items isn't worth the marginal gains I might obtain.  If UAD's native plugins had arrived 5 or more years earlier then I'd probably own their stuff instead of <fill in the da blank> but alas... 

Apologies for the Anti-GAS vibe.

Thanks for info!

Wavosaur has handled most of my basic audio editor needs for ages and it's one self-contained exe.

Click on the "Wavosaur audio editor [64 bit] (en)" link in the center of the page.

Can't beat the price.

I didn't realize Melda was owned by IL, 

Not that it makes any difference but I wonder when that happened.

Hive 2 soundsets from one of the best sound designers out there.

???

Apologies Jan - but...
The "company" is called SoundsDivine - I can't find any reference that Richard Devine, the reknown sound designer, is in any way associated with it.
As a matter of fact there's no info on the web site who runs it or where they base their operations from.  
Even the web WHOIS Database doesn't list that info only a Pennsylvania phone number.

The footer on the webpages say - "This is a demo store for testing purposes — no orders shall be fulfilled" which doesn't inspire confidence.

Looks like they've been around since** at least December 2021, but still - the lack of information and clarity about the website and the business that runs it makes me nervous about giving that site any personal or financial information.

**based on someone creating a post on SOS forum about a library release on the SoundDesign website.

As an Albion user my price is $289 for me.

Didn't notice that.. but will probably wait for a future sale.  

Another temptation is that I can currently I can get Heavyocity's Symphonic Destruction for $199 as a crossgrade (lowest price I recall seeing) at the NI sale.
Vento & Novo (& probably Frozo) crossgrades at Heavyocity web site are also hitting $199.  Don't recall them hitting that low, normally low sale price is $229.

I've never been let down by Softube.  Their plugins are top notch.  I especially love their saturation plugin.  I'm definitely going to get their spring reverb.  Out of curiosity, what other devs out there make good spring reverb plugins?

PSP Nexcellence    $99 MSRP but was on sale a couple of times last year.

How is the delay? Almost bagged it when it was on sale recently but I’ve got sooo many delays .

I passed just for that reason.  It's nifty but not nifty enough to not get lost in my collection.

Oh darn - in moment of madness I purchased the SSL X-Limit+X and TDR Kotelnikov GE and saved almost $100 (over the Softube deal) in the process. 
I am inconsolable.
