@Zo They are in the page that @telecode 101 posted above, just scrolling down. Here are the direct d/l links just in case https://s3.amazonaws.com/izotopedownloads/presets/deezle-presets-for-vocalsynth-2.zip https://s3.amazonaws.com/izotopedownloads/presets/jonny-hawkins-presets-for-vocalsynth-2.zip https://s3.amazonaws.com/izotopedownloads/presets/computer-magic-presets-for-vocalsynth-2.zip https://s3.amazonaws.com/izotopedownloads/presets/killagraham-presets-for-vocalsynth-2.zip And I just noticed that if you keep scrolling down there are a few additional free presets for Tonal Balance, ebooks, spire sessions, etc

There were also 4 free preset packs for vocalsynth (note: I didn't have them but I don't know if those have always been free or not)

In case someone is interested, this deal came with "checkout aisle" deals for Aurora Choir and 2nd deal for Lyrical Vocal Phrases at base price (add Dyonisus Piano to to cart, start checkout, if interested also in Lyrical Vocal Phrases, instead of completing checkout go back to cart) Note: I think these deal are general and not personalized but I don't know for certain.

The announced topic for next month's CM (out Jun 15) sounds pretty interesting - "Make your own plugins, it's not as hard as it sounds".

Pro Tools integration E.g., Suppose that you have Melodyne Studio 4 and don't want to upgrade to the Melodyne Essential 5 available in your Avid account because you'd lose all the "Studio" features. If you try to use Pro Tools "Audio to Midi" it will fail because Melodyne 5 is not installed

30% off MAGIX Soundpool Collections https://www.producerplanet.com/us/list/soundpool-collection-sale-30-1970/ The Oktoberfest collection is $24.43 (commercial, 17.43 non-commercial) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/oktoberfest-19591/?license=commercial_unlimited (this collection includes 5 soundpools: the Oktoberfest bundle https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/oktoberfest-complete-bundle-14488/, and the Tausend Gefühle bundle https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/tausend-gefuehle-complete-bundle-16559/)

The waves plugins I keep going back to are CLA Guitars and Bass https://www.waves.com/bundles/chris-lord-alge-signature-series (these make it very easy for me to conceptualize what I'm doing to the sound of an instrument) Aphex exciter https://www.waves.com/plugins/aphex-vintage-aural-exciter (whenever I hear a track that would benefit from a little added "clarity") Manny Marroquin reverb https://www.waves.com/bundles/manny-marroquin-signature-series (I quite like the MM series approach of "dial what you want and let the plugin pick the HW to emulate based on what you dialed") Yes, there are other plugins that do similar tasks but the ones above are the easiest for me to quickly find the settings that I want without much effort

Particularly interesting given the upgrade policy: https://help.reasonstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021575659-Do-I-get-a-free-Reason-12-Upgrade- If you have bought and registered one of the following products: Reason 11 Reason 11 Upgrade Reason 11 Suite Reason 11 Suite Upgrade Reason 11 Upgrade for Intro/Lite on or after May 1st 2021 you will automatically receive a free (grace-period) Reason 12 Upgrade upon product release date (September 1st 2021).

Wow, a price point where the $50 vouchers are actually useful!

...to be the first ones to hit the "like" button on their child's youtube video that was inspired by the latest pluginguru library (even if they are the only ones in the world ever listening to it)

For reference: After getting 19 vouchers, Humblebundle has been canceling every attempt to re-purchase. I contacted support and they told me that their fraud prevention alerts got triggered and I won't be able to buy more from this promotion ?. Purchases of other bundles is still ok.

https://www.producerplanet.com/us/list/techno-soundpool-sale-40-1954/ There are quite a few commercially licensed soundpools in the $21.59~$23.99 range, ($2.59~$4.99 out of pocket with vouchers from humblebundle)

@Pseudopop Upgrade to TS3Max is a little confusing. You will see a rather high price initially but then they add a coupon to your cart, bringing it down to a more reasonable price

Producerplanet is starting a promotion where they are offering a large discount on one item every alternating weekend The first round is this weekend, the Fast&Raw (Techno) soundpool is on sale at 70~75% off $4.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $2.99 for the non-commercial) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/fast-raw-19838/?license=non_commercial

I have had a few application crashes but no computer crashes. BSODs are generally caused by driver issues. Are you using the Magix ASIO driver? If you already have an ASIO driver installed that works reliably you probably want to select that one instead in the program config. In general I use MMM for the initial creative/composing work but then I switch over to Pro Tools for mixing and mastering. The best way I've found for this is to Split the MM tracks. For each track where songmaker has put various types of loops, I create additional tracks and move the objects until every track contains similar loops. E.g., if the Bass track contains "Bass Brezn" and "Bass Patrick Hopper" then I add a track and move all the "Bass Brezn" to it, because chances are that I want to mix them with different settings, and I find it easier moving the loops around before exporting, compared to making splits later Export all the tracks to wav (it takes a little time, but it's needed only once per project) Create a blank Pro Tools project, set the bpm to the same tempo I had in the MMM project (so that the wavs will neatly align to bars), then add the wav's from the previous step This workflow probably works as well with any other DAW, and it should also help in avoiding crashes

Yes, it's annoying, but it's possible to just create multiple accounts, then log off/log on (from the start screen, accessible also through the Help menu) and activate and install the content for each account. Since it's the same installation with the same configuration the content gets downloaded to the correct folders and it will be found after logoff/logon to your original account (or when you click the button to rescan soundpools). The caveat is that it's harder to keep track of what you own across the various accounts and avoid buying duplicates. With a little patience now I have all the available score soundpools and all the Vita instruments, purchased and installed (and it was nowhere near the marathon that it was when I installed IK Total Studio Max). The "collector" in me is happy.
