The loop industry is very competitive. I doubt I would ever pay $20 for a single one no matter how good it is.

I don't use video apps anymore. Their cut down versions are a great value.

Most make the mistake of not realizing Ozone is for the mastering side and throw them on every track and think CPU hog. Mastering plugins are not made to run at 1.5 ms on a modest system.

Trying RX7 on an album recording that is not available in CD. It was one of those summer projects spending hours removing all of the clicks in Soundforge. Does anyone use RX7 through their monitors or use PC speakers?

T-Racks are great I just forget I have them.

Unfortunately the sounds can't be separated if you value OS drive space.

The Izotope deal stole my thunder for this one.

They are gonna have to come down to under $150/5yr for me to bite. It would cost me $1000 to replace one system with all SSD. If I really need that fast SSD streaming I can temporarily move them to my Intel 500gb drive. I have my VSL libraries on it. The Synchron players loads these quite fast.

All of my Izotope plugins were rejected by Cubase. Waveform 9 is the other.

If anyone has ever noticed that Izotope doesn't seem to have a machine limit. I've had some of their stuff that came with Acid Pro and had to install them many times on four machines. Also make sure to custom install if you don't want those RTAS, AXX, or install into Steinberg\VST folder.

Well I got my answers from the web. Ozone is more suited for mastering. I have Ozone.

Why would you need Neutron if you have Ozone?

Most are FL and Ableton. Oddly enough you won't see any of his plugins in those templates either.

How long does this deal last?

This may be the incentive I need not to buy more stuff. I was gonna go for one of the Melda bundles until I seen they added local sales tax which is 8.6%.

I avoid controllers that use micro USB ports. My Irig will only work on an iPad. Junk!

Wow now they charge sales tax. It's 8.6% where I live. I was thinking of going into debt for the mixing bundle but I'll pass. They usually offer this again during the holidays.

Well there's hope of a Black Friday sale.

One thing about an IK group buy is they never fail to meet their quota.

I messed around with Acid Pro and it is still a cool app.

I think developers realized they deflated the value of plugins. I think the days of the hobbyist spending over $100 for a plugin that isn't a synth are gone. There's a lot of youtube videos of amateurs doing great music with stock plugins. Splice and Melda have where you can rent to own. Some believe this whole industry is going to be subscription. Many have it but don't advertise it heavily. I think it will ruin everything except for the opportunist developer who does not go subscription.

Presonus is pretty aggressive in getting people to upgrade. I don't use it that much but when they have an upgrade for under $70 I buy. I like their GUI. I started in this DAW madness around the turn of the century. There was no free DAW like Bandlab. Pro Tools had one that would crash. Also the quality of free/low priced plugins is far superior now.

I switched to FL Studio after Sonar 5 since the GUI was getting cluttered. I still bought licenses after that since they trusted users by having simple authorization. Right now with all of the DAWs I have I'm wandering in the wilderness.

Would the song been as bad if there wasn't a video? Through March 2019, “We Built This City” has more than 57 million views on YouTube. Someone is still listening. Take that, rock critics! Sight and sound are often deception. How many of the greatest bands have great videos?
