Another Yamaha CS-80  emulation, right?

Yes, but in addition to the vsti you get the Softube "bonuses":

• Model 77 offers seven modules for Modular: Oscillator, Dual Mode Filter, Amplifier, Envelope Generator, Low Frequency Oscillator, Ring Modulator, and Reverb.
• The Model 77 modules for Amp Room consist of Ring Modulator and Reverb. With them, you can create unique sounds for guitar and bass in your Amp Room platform.

I figured out this is regional limited. Prices shown to me become the same as yours if I use VPN.

So use JPN address VPN (or other JPN e-store) though not sure if XLN allows VPN at payment.

I tried using a VPN. The checkout process asked me to log into my account (which has my address) and at that point the cart updated itself to US pricing

Do I need another chord detector? It's only $5+tax with this coupon...

My computer crashed. Can I authorize on a new computer?
Yes, you still have access to download installers from your MakeMusic account page and can authorize on compatible operating systems until August 25th, 2025. Effective August 26th, 2025, it will no longer be possible to reauthorize Finale after installing it on a new computer.

I am sick of companies unilaterally breaching the ability to use a purchased license. We need a good (class action?) lawsuit that sets a precedent that companies wanting to turn off their licensing systems should provide a DRM-free copy

recently I thought I would get everything UJAM if they did something like Melda does.

I got an email to have UJAM everything for 119.   Now plugin scans will take longer. 

Nice price, but even lower at bestservice.com.

I am NOT cured 🤒 I did bite on this one

Great plugin, I particularly like the "Pre verb return cleaner" preset (as the name says, in the parallel reverb aux track, add it at the beginning before the actual reverb)

ORANGE VOCODER IV and upgrades to it are on sale, August 19-25, 2024

Full license $88, using coupon PDZ_Zynaptiq during checkout https://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=4323

For upgrades from v1/2/3 or upgrades from NANO, they are $49/ €55, check your email (it's a very long URL, I'm not sure if it's personalized or not)

For those that need to use the plugins on more than one machine - have you considered using a USB flash drive for storing the licenses? (yes, tying up one usb port, and having to unplug/replug as you change machines is not ideal, but it may be preferable to paying every year)

I use one of these for Waves licenses

https://www.newegg.com/team-model-tc162332gb01/p/N82E16820313680

(small enough so that I don't feel I'll physically break the port easily, big enough so that it's not difficult to unplug)

It's not working for me, I'm getting an error "You cannot purchase this license. Requires recent version of the software."

I have contacted support

I think some of the "cure" is not having cclarry posting every deal on the planet.

BUT... But... I DO miss cclarry! I'd much rather read his posts than be cured from GAS

On a related note: Satya, the King is the King and he has been setting a very high standard for years, but don't get discouraged, you're doing well

I had the same question. Here is the summary of my conclusions after reading many pages and listening to demos

wavestate - Wave sequencing (e.g., "one-key wonders")

modwave - Wave table synth (e.g., Serum-like)

opsix - FM Synthesis and more, can import DX-7 patches

Fwiw, I've been using 1sale.com as a source for deals for several years. I have never had an issue with my antivirus reporting malware when visiting the site, and I have never got a message about Firefox being out of date either when visiting the site (but I do use Firefox + NoScript, that blocks a lot of script junk that could cause that and I simply never see it).

Is chirping usually an issue? I've never seen the need to remove it...

 

It depends a lot on what you do. Per the description at zynaptiq.com, unchirp is intended for removing artifacts caused by lossy audio encoding, generative AI & other spectral processes. E.g., this can be pretty useful if your audio workflow involves using AI to unmix stems, and you then reprocess and remix those stems. However, if you are just recording and mixing a band, then you probably won't have much use for it.

$70 at Dontcrack.com with coupon PDZ_Zynaptiq

or, up to 20% off with "Buy more save more" (note that this discount canNOT be stacked with PDZ_Zynaptiq)

• Buy a second product and get 5% EXTRA DISCOUNT OFF both products

With this discount, $249 for the XXL annual plan including 10 plugins/year is comparable to F29 (Cons: [1] you have to get the plugins 10 at a time [2] Harder to resell. Pros: [1] cheaper per plugin [2] you get a subscription 1-year demos, which is good while you wait until you pull the trigger for 10)

There are a few waves plugins that I use regularly and I quite like them: Aphex Aural Exciter, Puigchild compressor, and the artist series by CLA and Manny Marroquin. I also quite like the Nx series (I use the headtracker that attaches to the headphones). There are many others that I use depending on the project

There is a lot of fear and uncertainty floating around WUP and Waveshells.

For the most part WUP can be ignored, just install the version that you buy, enjoy a year of free upgrades, then don't bother paying for anything until an upgrade adds a feature that you want (or adds new plugins that you want to a bundle that you have) and the upgrade price is worth it. If you bought e.g., Ozone 7 you wouldn't expect that Ozone 8, 9 and 10 would be all free upgrades, would you? Waves ends up working similarly, and the "grace period" is 1 year, which isn't bad. Getting the upgrade price can be confusing as heck (if you use the default selection you'll likely pay a lot) but actually, once you unselect everything you don't really need, the price is quite reasonable (comparable e.g., to iZotope)

Yes, you may end up with these waveshell dll/vst3/aax files with a version and a suffix, and if you have many waves plugins your plugin scans may seem to take a long time for them, but it's just that many plugins are being scanned for each waveshell. Each version may be split into a few "bundles" (e.g., Waveshell1-version# Waveshell2-version# etc.) but it's just that each one wraps different plugins

For me, the two criticisms of Waves I'd point out are inflexible installations (paths cannot be customized, and you're out of luck if your C drive is short on space), and that many plugins don't use oversampling when they should. I do hear an improvement when running them inside DDMF metaplugin and using its oversampling options. It is a problem that is solvable (I know of metaplugin, maybe there are other vst hosts that can do it as well) but it's an annoyance.

If I died tonight, my kids would see a Google search for "plug and mix vibrator reviews" (I couldn't resist seeing the search results and ads -- and the overwhelming majority of natural results and paid results was adult stuff) and knobcloud.com (used plugins and sample libraries) in my browser history and might think dad had a secret life  (I really don't).

Don't die the night before Father's day! ?

 I have a rant about Unify.  If you bought Unify via 3rd party you have to always go to that site to download updates.  Every plugin I've bought that way your serial# is registered at the developer's site.  This is not the case with Unify unless that is not the developer's site.  I emailed their support about this.

 While some may not be bothered by this but it is an inconvenience and would not have bought this when I have to go through some hoops for an update.  With software distribution becoming more faulty it's becoming by top priority in purchases.  

 Very. very, 3rd rate. 

 

I remember it was that way when they first released it, but they changed it afterwards (6 months~1 year later? I may be wrong, I don't remember the details but anyway, the change was years ago).

You don't need to go back to the store where you purchased it

Lethal + Core Library + 25 expansions $79

Use code LETHAL79

I came across this one today. Reading the description and reviews, the impression I get is that it's essentially a dance music ROMpler with a few manipulation options (like amplitude and filter envelopes, arpeggiator, trance gate and other effects, polyphonic glide, etc), and a relatively large library (5GB for the core library, more after adding the expansions)
If you know more about it and/or have used it please comment!
