Suzi Quatro - Can The Can

You do know that's not a pony?

Satan is the work of cheese.

Like most(?) people here, I keep an eye on the Deals forum. And I've found for a while now that even the free stuff doesn't really interest me. I actually feel I have all the plugins I need and it would take something truly amazing or revolutionary to get me to part with my cash/bandwidth. Does this make me a bad person?

Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do

Cheese, definitely cheese.

And amp sims for sure too.

Sam Brown - Stop

I'm on a roll today.

Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen

Please can I do *that* Nirvana song now? Pretty please?

Billy Joel - Uptown Girl

All still VST2 but they have said they plan to update them (whether all/some, I'm not sure).

Definite double points there.

I'd leave what you're working on as is for now.

Happy Mondays - Step On

Pretty much the same as when using envelope mode - you can always make an inadvertent change. I think the best approach - however you want to work - is to stick in one mode and not jump between them. I just think it's safer and easier to stick in Offset: an envelope is a visual representation of the slider envelope mode value, so you have that in plain sight, whereas you don't have visibility of the offset if you live in envelope mode.

I find the Liquid Effects really useful for quick'n'dirty modulated delay effects and the delay, and I use them a lot (forget about the reverb and compressor/gate). Echoes is a very nice sounding delay. And I like the Pultec/All-Tech EQs as part of my "mastering" chain (and for getting the classic Pultec effect on low end too). To my mind and ears, there's a lot of similarity in the various channel strips, and there are more limiters in various shapes and sizes that you can shake a stick at! The Essentials suite is pretty useless nowadays. YMMV of course. But for $59, there's probably enough there to get some value out of.

Suggestion: *Leave* it in Offset mode. The track sliders are then always providing a base level/offset and you never have to worry about which mode you're in. If you have an envelope, then you have automation - the envelope mode is pretty much unnecessary* Much simpler and I guarantee you'll be less confused in the long run. * There's one case where you need to switch to envelope mode and back again. If you have an envelope and delete it, the "envelope mode" slider remains at the level of the envelope at the point in time you deleted it, so switch, double click on the slider to zero it, then back to offset mode again.
