I own 441 plugins. But a lot of that is collections / bundles like Waves bundles, Komplete CE, Total Max, UAD collections, etc., where it was cheaper to get bundles on group buy / mega sales. And at least 1/4 of those were freebies (like the bundles you get with hardware) over the years that are on my studio inventory but aren't installed. With subscriptions & DAW stock plugins I could theoretically have 580 installed lol. I only have about 200 installed. That's about 5-10 plugins per category (eg. 10 comps, 10 reverbs, 10 delays, 10 EQs, 10 mastering, 20 distortions / amps, etc.)

$399 / $39.99mo for me. Currently on legacy Mix & Master subscription and own about 71 plugins. Not interested in this, but was curious to see the discount.

Not even Black Friday yet!

Awesome! Thanks. Fingers crossed that it's a decent discount. There are 13 plugins in Horizon I want, and I already have 50 of the 80 from another bundle (many that I don't use, but many that are critical.) Makes it a PITA to get those 13 without buying a bigger bundle with tons of duplicates and unneeded stuff. But $130 for 13 plugins isn't too bad, and renews WUP on a bunch. Again - thanks for the links!

Ya - just noticed that. My upgrade price is almost the same as the everyplugin sale price. Sadness.

Hoping waves.com runs this - curious what upgrade price will be for those who own many of the plugins in this bundle. They've been running a lot of bundles at big discounts this month (Platinum, Abbey Road, etc.) so guessing they'll get around to it. NVM - didn't realize this was advertising the waves.com sale: https://www.waves.com/bundles/horizon#raw-to-radio-ready-vocals-horizon-bundle My upgrade price at waves's site is $132, so a bit cheaper than everplugin. I own like 30 of the 50+ in Horizon via another bundle, so not a great upgrade price.

Doesn't SoS give 5/5 to everything? Music software reviews are almost as corrupt a racket as gaming reviews. Walk through video sounds pretty average. Much better Taikos on the market - for traditional and processed / epic. Probably worth $40 though!

Ya, nothing on their site. If I remember right, the FX bundle was on sale last BF, and it was one of the better sales of the season. I didn't buy it, but I remember it being a very popular thread. I'd personally wait till Black Friday if they haven't done an official "black friday" announcement.

Don't use Reaper, but this is a separate wet / dry from the one within the plugin? (Eg. a distortions wet / dry). Or is it connected directly to the plugin wet / dry? That sounds like it could be a bit of a nightmare for effects that rely on gain staging.

Cassette is one of my favorite tape cassette emulation plugins. There are tons on the market, and most do the same thing. I just like the sound of it. Lots of features in the plugin's back panel. Also like Sketch Cassette (Aberrant Audio), for more wobbly / lofi cassette effects, which has a bundle sale at Plugin Boutique.

Might be just Windows 10 / Cubase, but I've used a few of their plugins A LOT without any issues. Vybz, Tape Piano 2 especially. And received some good support regarding VST3 when I picked these up. I got the total bundle (at the time) during Black Friday last year for like $30. Worth it for me.

Been on the same subscription for 3 years. They still renew it under the same legacy terms, despite the new subscriptions. Easy. Now own (or received for free) 71 of their plugins with the subscription vouchers, from $600 invested in subscription and one additional purchase of Soundwide bundle. So about $10 / plugin over 3 years. Those original subscriptions were fantastic, especially using those vouchers during megasales. It's really too bad they got rid of them.

Missing quite a bit - but there's very few I actually want. But the ones I do want would likely cost more than the $69.99 which makes this bundle price very appealing. But ya, I have an elaborate Excel sheet to keep track of plugins and instruments for the studio lol. This shit gets totally out of hand.

Very good points. Those new reverbs are very interesting as well but will wait for 4.

Interesting. I don't have any Max products but I'm also getting the $99 price. But I also own a ton of products / Amplitube collections from all the group buys + the original Modo series, so there must be a threshold where you own enough to qualify.

Tough one. Have a lot from the Group Buys, but really want Modo Drum 1.5 (have 1.0), Modo Bass 2.0 (have 1), and those updates aren't included. But might be worth it for quite a few of those T-Racks plugins (especially the reverbs) and to finish off Amplitube collection (missing 2 collections) and 2 missing X-Pedals. The instruments is where I'm not sure - never liked IK virtual instruments. Can get Total Max 3.5 for 69.99 with Jam Points, and I guess could sell everything I've bought individually. Hmm. Curious if Total Max 4 will have a similar upgrade price next year and should just wait for Modo Drum / Modo Bass updates to be added. Hmm.

I'll be looking at that based on your recommendation. I hadn't even tried the demo yet. I also like XO, so curious about Playbeat.

Pacific Strings (hopefully released soon, likely not on sale.) Audiothing - Wires Waves Abbey Road Collection Ben Osterhouse (various) Eventide Physion Wavesfactory Cassette Arturia FX (various) Keepforest - Devastator Breakout Pro IK Mesa Boogie v1 & 2 IK iLoud MTM RME UCX II New 88-Key Controller (debating) Spitfire Audio (various - curious what Black Friday brings) NI Komplete CE update 13 to 14 Lifeline Console Full Orchestral Tools (various - depends on sales) I usually only buy stuff during Novemeber / December sales season, so hoping for some deals.

Was waiting to see what the CSS black friday sale would be. It had to be good enough to get me away from Pacific Strings upcoming release. 25% is not good enough, so Pacific Strings it is. Hopefully it's released before end of the year, absolutely love the demo patches.

Ya - I own A LOT of their stuff - bought many of their libraries / sample packs over the last 5 years+ 'cause I always loved their sound. (Lots of glitchy weird ambient stuff.) So already own Atom, Opacity, Paths series, Shift series, Sync series, Discrete Energy, etc. But when I do the "Complete my Suite" it gives me the same €149 price, since I don't own stuff like Playbeat, Riffer. They used to offer an "everything" type bundle that included all sample-type libraries and instruments, etc. But definitely seems like they're moving away from that older stuff. Which is odd, because it's solid content and would likely continue to generate revenue - and it's not like they have to update it.

What a mess. Managed to get so many of the bundle products for dirt cheap over the last 2 years (Neoverb, Vocal Synth 2, Melodyne 5 Editor update, iZotope 9 Advanced update, Soundwide bundle (bx bundle, iZotope Elements bundle, etc.), while also having Music Production Suite 3, that it makes it the Music Production Suite upgrade almost redundant. Will have so many duplicates. But would also like to have full updates of stuff like Ozone and especially RX. But it's more expensive to upgrade these 2 separetely than it is to upgrade the whole bundle. This is the problem with so many company mergers and bundle mergers. If you've been updating / buying these products already (eg. Melodyne, BX / NI plugins), etc. then suddenly the bundles become a total mess. And then you gotta figure that if you upgrade the MPS bundle now, they will most definitely merge more stuff from NI, PA and Celemony over the next year making it even messier if you already own Komplete Collectors Edition and have a PA subscription. Decisions, decisions. This is one reason I like subscriptions sometimes. It simplifies a lot of this mess - especially with so many products scattered across multiple companies that are all offering their own bundle combinations. EDIT: And just realized that if I upgrade Komplete Collectors Edition from 13 to 14, I then get Ozone 10 Standard. But want advanced, which I would get with MPS upgrade. Ayiyi. Are they just trying to mess with my brain?

There have been many plugins attempting to do this over the years. It's often the same story - 3rd party plugin looks to make your daw more "efficient". Plugin is either buggy, redundant, breaks with DAW updates or gets abandoned / continually updates versions making older projects unopenable. Most of the supported daws can do exactly what this plugin does (macros, etc.). Just RTFM.

Okay. I'll buy it damnit! Haha.

Yes it does. It has an entire panning section in the center of the plugin that can pan globally or left / right separately, or mid-side separately. Testing it - if the mono-maker is set to a crossover of, for example, 1khz, then the panning of either left / right is not affected below this 1khz threshold (depending on how you set up the panning section). Comparing this to the Boz plugin, I can get exactly the same result, but can also go further as I have more control over the stereo field, as well as splitting mid-side if I want. Also - once my panning choices are made, I have EQ control over both the mono & stereo field individually, which makes it far more powerful. Pro-Q 3 also gives me this exact same control, with addition of dynamic EQ - although it takes longer to get the same result. Actually, Digital V3 also has dynamics control in addition to pre/post switching.

Wouldn't any stereo EQ with mono-maker frequency adjustment do the same thing? Like Brainworx Digital V3? Or Pro Q 3? I don't see how this is special. Everything I'm seeing in the Youtube demos can be done with Pro Q 3. No? Actually, messing with Brainworx Pan EQ it seems you get much more interesting results, as it's 3-bands. Although it lacks a mono-maker setting unfortunately. Maybe I'm missing something.
