Normally $970, now only $99 until the end of month. https://hgsounds.com/product/kontakt-collection/ I'm going to join the Serenity Group Buy (still available for $24.99: https://hgsounds.com/product/serenity-group-buy/) out of curiosity, but this has also caught my interest. That's a lot of instruments for $99, but are they worth it?

I predict the name of the product will be Cosmos or something, because the name of the signup form (in the page source code) is "CosmosPreSignup". So... some kind of spacey sounds?

Interesting. What technology Accusonus has that would interest Zuckerberg?

Any thoughts on FrozenPlain's Unrequited Love Bundle? $24.99 for both Phoenix and Wraith seems good. I don't think they've been that cheap recently.

Lindell Audio 80 Series was still available for $39.99 when this offer went live, so I managed to get them both for $29.98 using my $50 voucher. Good thing, too, since those $50 vouchers are depressingly difficult to spend.

https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/adptr_streamliner.html Use the voucher STREAMLINER-3999. Offer ends January 29 - 11:59 PM PST Also, if someone wants my $50 voucher, PM me. Voucher gone!

The nice thing about collecting the price information is that you can then do all kinds of things with those numbers. For examples and ideas see IsThereAnyDeal, a website that collects information about games and then shows things like their price history among other interesting things. You can even set up price alerts that send you an email when a game's price falls below a threshold you have specified (ie. "let me know when I can get this game for a dollar"). Larry does invaluable work and this new website is not going to replace him or this forum for anyone, but I wouldn't mind having a tool that would show me all the plugins I want to buy and how their current price compares to previous sales. I have started to collect that kind of list for myself, but every time I add a new plugin to that list I need to search for its price history, and sometimes that information is not easy to come by. Quite often you only find the discount percentage, not the actual dollar amount.

I recently did a half-serious attempt of using different tricks (including pitch shifting with Melodyne) to make my singing sound like a mob of children singing a nursery rhyme. I'm a bass baritone, so I knew it probably wouldn't work but I wanted to try anyway. The result sounded like a drunken amateur drag queen karaoke performance. So yeah, I'm looking at Synthesizer V very closely, too. Sounds amazing.

But I need to click the "Redeem your pack and enter the competition" button?

I'm confused. Do I need to enter the competition to get the pack? The website just makes me run around in circles.

Oh, actually it's 39.68 euros in cart. But Audio Deluxe has it for $44.98 with $2.24 DeluxeBucks, so that's the cheapest option for me.

It actually is, about €0.30 cheaper.

It's €41 at Best Service for me, so JRR is cheaper. But thanks for the info, I'll guess I'll go for it.

I intended to give it away sooner but I completely forgot I had it. The code is: enggnklzhn If you use it please post here to let others know.

Did someone actually buy this and if yes, how is it? It's still available at JRR but the price has increased to $43.99.

They are? Dang. I just bought it ten days ago. Let's hope Softube is willing to exchange my Jubilee license for Bluesbreaker...

Do I need the Tape?

I think both Matcha and Keemun aim to be playable first, realistic second. I'm not qualified to say if they succeed.

You don't keep your drummers in a dungeon?

As far as I can tell different electric instruments look all the same, but I think it also depends on the original kit. In the image below the two top snares on the left are electric snares from the superior drummer basic library. The two electric snares below them are snares from Hip-Hop EZX. The hi-hat and the snare in the kit have also been replaced with electric ones. I should point out that nothing prevents you from replacing a cymbal with a kick drum, for example. It works like you'd expect. The only difference is that if SD doesn't have an appropriate image for the instrument for the location, it displays a generic electric instrument instead. So in the example you'd see a black electric cymbal instead of a kick drum. If you want to match the instruments you use with the kit image as closely as possible, then yes. If that is your goal then for electronic music something like Hip-Hop EZX might be a better option, because it has 16 pads you can use to place the instruments in a way that makes sense to you. But in the end it's all cosmetic and no matter where the instruments are located or what they look like they work the same.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but here's an image of a default kit with 7 extra kick drums (shown on the left side of the screen). Does that answer your question?

You always start with a ready made kit, but you could remove all the instruments from a kit, save it and then use that as a future template. As far as I can tell you can't change the layout of a kit. You can't move the instruments around, and if a kit has one kick drum and you add another one, it is displayed on a sidebar as a sort of a icon. So if you want the image of the kit to represent the actual instruments it has, you need to find a matching kit and start with that. I think you can import your own samples to SD but there are some limitations with them, like being able to use just a single velocity layer, for example. I have never tried it so I can't say for sure how it works.

Actually, when I try to apply it I get the message: Is there another voucher code I'm not aware of?

Get it here.

Yeah, I think the code is usually reset three times. So I'll probably end up grabbing both + something else.
