Captain Plugins $39.50 at ADSR Sounds Sale ends November 5th https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/captain-plugins/ And get the ADSR extras (Hustle 2 is the freebie of the month, 8 loyalty points)

If you don't yet have any IK products, you probably want to go to the KVR buy and sell forum and get there for cheap any product originally over $100 - that will qualify you for crossgrade prices From memory, I think Sampletron II is not in the list in Custom Shop, but if you get an Amplitube 5 crossgrade, that will qualify for getting Sampletron II

I've been trying to find out how Monolyth compares to iZotope Neutron (+Ozone possibly, to add lufs targeting capability) in terms of "automating the mix process" . Looking at the controls, Monolyth seems to provide more tweakability although, for an approach of "let the automation handle 90% of the mixing process and then add other plugins to refine the remaining 10%" it may not matter that much. I haven't been able to find comparisons, and it doesn't look like Ayaic is providing demo licenses, so I cannot do a comparison myself. Is there someone here who has both Monolyth and Neutron/Ozone and has compared the results?

For a little more than twice the price, $4.80 more will get you the full autogain pro https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-autogain-pro/

This month, Final Mix is giving away their Synth Bus Lite plugin.

Nice report I couldn't help laughing when I understood that "get for free - download trial and let it expire" meant that the expiration function for the trial version doesn't work (buggy code?)

This weekend - Score: Horror Movie $4.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $2.99 for the non-commercial) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/horror-movie-score-17753/?license=commercial_unlimited It's that time of the year where everything horror-related goes on sale...

Not cumulative in price. If you want something at the $150 level you have to purchase something else at the $150 level. They are "cumulative in quantity". If you buy something at $124 and something else at $50 you'll get 23 free selections at $124 or less plus 23 free selections at $50 or less (maybe 24 by the time you read this)

This month's $25 voucher is not personalized and has already been posted elsewhere in gearspace (search for: who uses plugin alliance) I don't think I've seen any vouchers posted in this forum so I suspect it's not allowed, that's why I'm giving "a fishing rod instead of a fish"

From their description: Interesting, I don't think I've seen other noise reduction operate in M/S

That's just typical of software development QA. They probably have a suite of tests that they have run for the latest version and haven't run for the older ones because it takes resources and effort even if there are problems they won't fix older versions anyway But, in practical terms: quite likely older versions are ok

Reminder about the process if you have activated something in the last year (or have wup) and would like to get the latest - 1-Login , go to my account >> get latest version, select everything that you want to upgrade and click the button 2-Use Waves Central to actually install the upgrade (the previous step upgrades the licenses only)

Now that we got to 23 I've finally joined the "IK Mission Complete" Club. No new licenses left to choose. I have TS2Max, and for this GB I double-dipped, with a $99 entry for which I have used up all 23 choices and a $199 entry with 11 Choices used up and 12 choices available. Yes, I could have finished earlier but that would have required using $199 entries for <$99 choices, and having some patience seemed better In Custom Shop, the only items with a "shopping cart" are the Resonator and a few collections that when I click on them to see what's included all the items have a green check mark For now, the GAS bug ? is happy with a full stomach. Time to cocoon and then fly! ?

I agree that the $25 is typically more useful. They do have occasional sales for $79.99, for more or less recently released plugins, and the $50 can be used for those. E.g., I just got Neold Big Al for $29.99 after stacking BIGAL7999 with the monthly $50. So far Big Al has been excluded from the lower prices in the mega sales (although $29.99 is not the cheapest, $99.99 minus the $75 monthly voucher is the lowest I have seen)

This weekend - Pop Rock: Pain Killer $8.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $4.99 for the non-commercial) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/pain-killer-4356/ This Soundpool is already included in 'RockPop Vol. 6' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 14'. Bonus tip: On eBay, Amazon marketplace, etc. it is still possible sometimes finding some of these Soundpool DVD Collections for reasonable prices (either the dvd by itself, or bundles that include the DVD like the "Sony Audio Master Suite bundle" that includes older versions of Soundforge Pro and Spectralayers together with a soundpool dvd. Collections up to 16 allow commercial use, Collections 17 and newer include only a non-commercial license.

I'm more or less in the same boat. First thing to note is that there are a few items in this Group Buy that aren't in TS3M because they were released after TS3M came out, like SampleTron 2. There is a version comparison at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ts3/index.php?p=versions#compare however, it isn't entirely clear regarding whether there are some instruments in Sampletank 4 MAX that are not available by getting Sampletank 4 + Alternate Keys + Clavitube + L.A. Confidential + Hitmaker: EDM + Hitmaker: Reggaeton + Hitmaker: Synthwave + Hitmaker: Trap + Spaceport '77.

Interesting. I only have the "full" Philharmonik 2, thinking that CE was just a subset. Does it make sense getting Philharmonik 2 CE too?

We'll definitely miss your helpful list. All the best for your project. And hopefully even if it takes away some of the BF time it will still let you have some Thanksgiving family time

The September sale (33% off) for rapidcomposer just finished a few days ago It's more complex than the mentioned ones but you could say they are all in the category of "assisted composition"

In case you missed it in the 100+pages of the main thread, and for reference for other people, here is the formula for a 44% discount and getting in at the $199 tier: (1) buy 200 gear credits from IK for $111.99 and 48 jampoints (2) use the gear credits in Amplitube custom shop (install if needed, free download) and get an Amplitube 5 crossgrade (assuming that your account is up to crossgrade level, but considering that your target tier is $199 it's probably a good assumption) (note: if not at crossgrade level yet, either get the SVX2 in the OP first, and get 2 entries in the GB, or check buy/sell forums and find an old but cheap higher-tier IK product. Resale prices of older IK products is currently pretty low, since people have been getting plenty of upgrades as a result of the group buy) From the gear credits and Amplitube 5 you'll get 18 gear credits back (net "expense" of gear credits is 30)

2285 How long until the revelation of the Mystery of the Final Tiers? Will we need to get to tier 20? (note that tier 20 does include a freebie, so it wasn't "get to 20 and instead of a freebie you get an extension") Is Peter "slightly cheating" and is it that 21,000 doesn't have a freebie, to increase his chances of winning the guess? I hope not!
