Thank you! I thought that the bands could be individually turned off and It would be possible to leave just one, but I just read the manual and saw that I was mistaken, that there is a dropdown with options for 2-band or 3-band (or other ways to split the input like m/s), and that the disable button for the band just disables the application of effects to the band (a bypass for the band rather than disabling the band split)

Just curious, @kitekrazy and @Sergio why BYOME and not TRIAD?

Use promo code TULIP40 before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, April 29 and receive $40 off an upgrade to Finale v26. https://www.finalemusic.com/

I use the Chainer from time to time to get VST's loaded in Pro Tools. Without purchasing a license for the full version it will load plug'n'mix plugins and I think others will load in demo mode (with the typical "occasional inserted noise") although my recollection may not be accurate. After purchasing a license you can load plugins from any vendor. I have many vst-to-AAX adapters and I haven't found a single one that I'm happy with. Stability is often a problem, and usability as well. I guess that for a handful of vst's they're ok but if you have a nice collection of vst2's and vst3's, in 64-bit and 32-bit versions, and sprawling a few folders, it starts getting ugly. Compared to others, the Chainer is possibly above average, with options to either scan plugin folders and display a list of available plugins or use a simple "File Open" dialog to load the dll you want.

In addition to the announced restrictions (not applicable to bx_console SSL 9000J, Gig Performer, Shadow Hills Class A) looks like it won't work for the Byome&Triad bundle (which is a bundle and not a single plugin, but sometimes has worked as a single plugin for voucher/discount purposes)

The plug'n'mix bundle was my "starter set". Pretty good for covering all the bases at a decent price and then slowly expand with other plugins. For $49.99 it's a really good deal for getting started on Gear Affection (maybe less interesting for people who already have a large collection)

Personally I think that unzipping the folders into a flash or portable USB drive and preserving them is a better option. That way when you need to reinstall (upgrades/failures...) you will not need to go through all the downloading/unzipping again. The time saved is probably more valuable than the cost of a USB drive. As a side note,, when I got Komplete on a usb drive, I noticed that more than half of the disk was blank (unpartitioned). TSMax2 almost all fits in that half

Total Studio Max Crossgrade $149.99 + IK Multimedia iRig Pads $99.00 (eligible for the Fill Your 'Tank Promotion, which adds NFR SampleTank 4) Final price after discount code $209.15 This is my second iRig Pads. Now I "just" need practice to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY1RxV3NwJM

TSM has already seen 2 editions so next could well be a product with a name like "Complete studio plus" and no upgrade path from TSM2. Larry, do you have some info we don't know about on this "Max" designation being worth something, not just bait? ? Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating. I'm looking at my box of Total Studio 3 and they allowed that to get to 3 before resetting

Any opinions on Pulsar Echorec vs Audiority Echoes T7E MkII? (both on sale at very similar price points)

Extra 15% with coupon UG15

Thank you very much! @Matthew Sorrels I definitely would not have ventured into getting this if it hadn't been for your post For me just the 2 AAS packs of my choice for 2 EUR is an awesome deal, the rest is extra bonus. One of these days I need to play around figuring out how to put those GB's of wav's to good use in Falcon and/or HALion

<ignore/delete, I just read their FB announcement>

maybe that's why the bx_console 4000E and 4000G got discounted to $49

Does it make you uncomfortable how people are "using this calamity" to expect freebies? Jokes aside, altruism should be an individual choice. To me, demanding altruism from someone else doesn't sound right. Just take the freebies that you like and thank the giver for it (and cclarry et al. for spreading the word), then tune out those you don't care for. Even if it doesn't have value for you, don't underestimate the value of an extended demo for others. For some people unable to go to their workplace, having easier options to set up temporary replacement systems at home can bring plenty of value. (and if anybody is curious - no, I don't work for a music software company, this post is not a defense of my employer)

oh, it must be afd in your timezone

Avidlink continues to be a prime example of "Java, write once, run who-knows-where..." (=> not in my machine, and of course paid support is clueless as to why)

INTRODUCING SIGMA Modern Metal Tone you guys get to try first! Spread The Sigma! FREE AMP SIM For Windows/Mac/Linux https://audio-assault.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=103973dfc53e49bb06f89a912&id=d6ba371b0e&e=7f3ee7580e

If they're not sold out I'd get them at $15 from the link at the footer of cclarry's posts

Getting the plugins (or a doc with URL and coupon code) from filesilo has always been sort of an "honor" system. The video may be a little bit of a blunder but in general, finding a "free" download of the magazine is pretty easy and they wouldn't be able to tell if you paid or not for it. Alternatively, it could be easy finding a magazine stand that carries the mag (e.g., at Micro Center in the US), discreetly browsing the mag to find the missing word and then registering at filesilo from your cell phone. Sure, it's easy but I wouldn't advocate any these methods. Personally I subscribe via magzter.com. A magzter gold subscription is $50/year when on sale and includes Computer Music, Future Music and others, including several years of back issues. It's more convenient and I don't feel bad about getting the goodies from unpaid sources.

The cart code that handles coupon checks has a bug - if you add extra items to your cart to meet the min requirements, apply the coupon and then remove the extra items, the coupon will still be applied. Klevgrand daw cassette (cassette tape emulation) $19.99 with coupon (I occasionally have nostalgic feelings for the coloration of my old Sony and Basf CrO2 & FeCr cassettes...)

It looks like they replaced the 3+ product requirement with a min order total of $65 (before discount)

Depending on what you have/use and how often you move to different hardware, the convenience of not de-authorizing/re-authorizing plugins and apps when moving to new machines may be worth that money ilok cloud may help there All that said, no authorization/licensing (e.g., Hornet plugins) is certainly friendlier, and I do pay for Hornet plugins and not try to "find free copies". At least from me they're gaining goodwill by being friendly and not "losing" anything.
