  1. The sound of soccer https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/the-sound-of-soccer-song-fx-collection-21760/?license=commercial_unlimited $99.5 for commercial unlimited use, $4.99 for non-commercial Quite "niche" but possibly a reasonable deal for 30 royalty-free national anthems
  2. This weekend - Downbeat: Smokey Light $4.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $2.99 for the non-commercial) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/smokey-light-1901/?license=commercial_unlimited Note: This Soundpool is already included in folder Downbeat Vol. 2' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 19'. This week it's also a relatively small soundpool (38 loops with variations and 6 in universal pitch, total 279), 433MB for the uncompressed wav version
  3. Maybe it's a good time for getting Lemon and trying something like this https://www.acustica-audio.com/store/products/lemon

  5. Please keep posting the deals from "bad developers" and please keep commenting when something is not good (esp. describing the reason why they're not good - poor support, it's 32-bit only, updates pending for a decade, etc) Having a market for liquidation/partially defective products is not bad per se (e.g., "as is" products on eBay or "minor defect" items at TJMaxx), what is bad is if there is no warning.
  6. It's the other way around. Euros are more expensive than US $. 1 USD = 0.79 EUR
  7. No, it will not prevent you from using both systems at the same time. Microsoft accounts are a way of associating certain things with an email address instead of associating them with a machine. The relation of Windows accounts and machines is not one-to-one. You can have one PC with multiple windows account (e.g., a family pc with an account for every member of the family) and you can have multiple PCs with the same account on them (following with the previous example, I would have my account on my main machine and on the machine(s) shared by the family). You can still create local accounts but it is generally more useful logging in using an email (your Microsoft account) instead. Some advantages are: single-sign-on capabilities (if I change my password, I do it once and don't need to also go into each shared PC to update them, or remember different passwords for different PCs), sync selected settings across systems (e.g., if I like using double-clicks to open programs and my wife likes single-clicks, there is no need to configure each machine individually, the setting can be sync'ed and get applied depending on which account was used to log in), share cloud services across machines (e.g., when I log in to onedrive cloud storage using my account it shows my files, when other family members log in, it shows theirs), and share information across machines about licenses for apps purchased from the Windows Store (note that this applies only to "modern apps", not "desktop apps", and I think that it is up to the app producer to allow usage everywhere or to set usage limits, I don't really know because I generally use "desktop apps" and very rarely "modern apps") If you are already using some online service from Microsoft (e.g., onedrive, skype, bing rewards, xbox, or outlook.com) you may already have a Microsoft account without realizing it
  8. I just got vol 9 which said 302 files in the website and I did get 302 sound effects (other files like the demo and cover picture weren't counted in the 302). For vols 1 and 6 the website says 178 and 100 files respectively, you may want to double check if there was some problem when downloading or unzipping the files Can we ask you for a few selected links? ?
  9. The new algorithm was implemented in response to a "snake oil" call, the full story is narrated here It sounds to me like they may have added oversampling to get this "high definition mode"
  10. $20, and if you get the World Music Day Free Giveaway deal (see post from cclarry) Fanatical will send you a 10%off coupon that you can use for this one (for a $18 total) https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/fanatical-royalty-free-game-music-bundle-magix You get 3 serial numbers that function as discount coupons at producerplanet.com and bring the price of the corresponding product down to 0 One serial is valid for the "Gaming Music Collection" Song Collection https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/gaming-music-collection-21149/ The other 2 serials are valid for a sound effect library from the "Detroit Chop Shop" series (there are 10 Sound Effect libraries to choose from, ranging in size between 750MB and 1.2GB) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/search/?query=detroit chop shop&area=audio&category=250 The song collection includes the following : Stranger Synths, The Dark Side, Score Elements:Sci-fi, Horror Movie, Action Strikes, Tales of Gotham.

  11. For a companion to a "Moog, Arp and Roland" article, it could be one of the cherryaudio VIs https://store.cherryaudio.com/instruments
  12. This is something crazy I noticed a while ago and I have never seen anybody comment on it An autostereogram is a two-dimensional image designed to create the visual illusion of a three-dimensional scene when you overcome the coordination between focus and horizontal angle of your eyes You may have seen them in bookstores or elsewhere, typically called "magic eye", pictures that become 3D when you relax your eye focus and get a little cross-eyed, e.g. the "fish and shark" in this image Here is the crazy thing - When I'm looking at the mixer window in Pro Tools and I relax my eye focus (maybe I've been staring at that screen for too long...) I see the same effect, all of a sudden the image acquires "depth" and the mixer surface starts "floating behind the screen level". This happens to the areas that are mostly grey, with slots and knobs, it doesn't happen to the bright green bars in the meters It may have something to do with the color scheme so I did a screen capture (and confirmed on a different machine that the effect is still visible). You can try it by watching the picture at pro tools 3d effect.png (probably easier if watching full screen)
  13.

  15. Overview of various arps: Cthulhu/Cream/Thesys/Consequence/Nuxx 5 Best Arpeggiator VST Plugins to Use in Your Project
  16. I have it and it's quite interesting but it's also quite annoying having to deal with bit bridging because it's not 64-bit...
  17. Thank you @mibby There are some emulations that allow emulation of Dolby-A encoding without decoding (U-He Satin, AudioThing TypeA, Fresh Air) but I haven't seen a Dolby-B.
  18. Paulo already addressed the 2nd option. For the 1st option, just check Simeon's channel... BTW, if you have Kontakt Full there is another Fazioli sample library at https://vstbuzz.com/store/silk-fazioli-concert-grand-kontakt/ (it doesn't have all the details and choices as the VI Labs but it's 24Bit /96kHz with up to 76 Velocity Layers for $15 minus any reward $$ you may have at vstbuzz)
  19. So many emulations and yet what they emulate is what I used to hate about "cassette tape sound" (dropouts, wow&flutter, head misalignment) but they do not provide an easy way to emulate the one "simple trick" I miss that resulted in nice "air" and dynamics (to my teenager ears): * Record a CrO2 cassette tape with CrO2 Bias and pre-emphasis, and with Dolby-B encoding on * Play back with FeO2 Bias and pre-emphasis, without any Dolby decoding
  20. Also $35 at adsrsounds (and you get the United Plugins firepresser compressor, monthly bonus plugin, if you haven't claimed it yet) https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/hy-plugins-hy-seq32-multi-effect-midi-sequencer-plugin/
  21. @Reid Rosefelt I don't know, it's not an area I purchase from and I haven't been tracking it. Thinking about Magix and how sales rotate every week or two I'd be surprised if they don't go on sale sooner or later There are some fx currently on sale but they're either expensive (large) or very specific (small and possibly not what you're interested in) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/winter-sounds-1892/ https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/russia-2018-world-cup-sound-fx-collection-3102/ https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/christmas-sounds-4008/ https://www.producerplanet.com/us/search/?salesOnly=true&area=audio&query=Box II&category=250
  22. A few pennies cheaper at everyplugin https://everyplugin.com/deals/shopby/manufacturer/cherry-audio.html For reference, I compared the price of Year One collection to last year's BF price and it was the same
  23. This time the discount is just 30% off but it covers pretty much every Magix-labeled soundpool and soundpool bundle (not collections). If you are interested in recently released soundpools (Blues Rock, Homecoming, Nostalgia Drive, etc) this may be a good time to get them, as the sales that have larger discounts may not include them This sale ends on Sunday, June 6th (they typically end at some time in the afternoon/early evening in the US, I'd guess they are designed to end at midnight or early a.m. in Germany) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/search/?area=audio&query=&salesOnly=true&category=250&label[]=magix
  24. ☢️☢️☢️From the description: Strix Instruments are here not only to give you the experience of playing the soviet synthesizer but to immerse you into the actual atmosphere of the '80s. To do that, Strix Instruments went to the Chernobyl exclusion zone - the only place on Earth that doomed forever for 1986. Exploring the radioactive streets and buildings, Strix Instruments collected some special Impulse Responses collection for Convolution Reverb.
  25. https://store.cherryaudio.com/bundles/andrew-macaulays-ultimate-bundle $49.00 A total of 64 modules. The bundle includes the following collections: Gate and Trigger Collection General Utility Collection Sequencing and Ratcheting Collection Envelope and LFO Collection Switches and Mixers More information at https://andrewmacaulaymusic.uk/modules.
