Yeah, Half-Life was the best.

Drew just confirmed to me that the Avid press release is indeed fake.

Keyboard in Blue is not on the same level as Piano in Blue. That one’s pretty unique, as it’s the grand played on Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and Glenn Gould’s second Goldberg Variations.

Indeed, one of the very best. And great support too.

It’s buzz season. Create a buzz, enhance people’s FOMO, restrict availability, then reopen the floodgates.

Old news, I’m afraid. That very same Drew confirmed the AudioDeluxe and PlugInDiscounts deals later on, and added that people who paid $299 for the Signature bundle will get $150 back.

I did the same, googling it but nothing came up.

I’m now thinking I’ll get the Ultimate 12 deal for $199 at Sweetwater…

Could very well be ChatGPT… I got it from a Gearslutz thread where it’s gone now.

Avid Technology Acquires Universal Audio, Expanding Its Portfolio of Audio Solutions for Media Creators** Avid Technology, Inc.

Avid will provide more details on the financial and strategic benefits of the acquisition on its next earnings call. -----------

Yeah baby. Best guitar dev in da biz.

No worries. This trilogy ain’t over yet.

Nope, officially confirmed by UAD. $150 it is.

Yep. Pretty sweet additions.

I just asked Drew, their man on the forums. He says he’s got nothing to do with me being ousted from that thread, and I believe him. To my Apple reference he replied: LOL!

Wow, after posting this in the Gearslutz UAD thread, I got this: “You have been removed from this discussion.”. So maybe my thoughts were on the dollar?

The official UAD spokesperson is even posting the AudioDeluxe offer and suggesting people to buy there.

I’m finding these no-glitch UAD glitches a bit too weird. Are they cashing in? Are they being bought? Have they been bought? Will all plugins be free with (free) Luna? Will all plugins be free with Logic next?

I’ll upgrade from Assistant when it’s $49

Sweet indeed. One of my most beloved synths.

The only sub worth the effort.

Been looking at this AI synth when it came out. Interesting indeed.

Version 1.2.0 is in da house. Check your mail.

Still pretty pretty gewd.

The man is back in the house! And a sweet bundle this is. Audiofier riffs!
