Which I'm 100% sure will cost more than I paid for v1 just for an upgrade. I just want a free update with resizable UI.

Most people put the track one either first in the chain on every track or last in the chain on every track. Then put the bus version on your master bus. After that switch between console types on the master bus (assuming you have all the tracks grouped to the same one) to see which flavor you want for your production. Unless you have it on all tracks and have more than a track or two, the effects are going to be super subtle. Each option more or less provides little variations in EQ curves/Saturation/Stereo imaging. It isn't meant to dramatically alter the sound/mix.

I'm partially in that camp, but there are many that I've removed from my computers over 20+ years. Both WAVES and things that have become obsolete sonically.

Plugins get replaced by other plugins. Cakewalk has been the only software constant in my music production over the last 20 years.

True, but this is really only a saturation plugin (for lack of better term), where CLA Mixhub is basically a full channel strip The equivilant would be more like running this plus WAVES E channel on all your tracks.

It is pretty low. Fairly old plugin at this point (not suggesting that is a bad thing) it just isn't like some modern CPU hogs.

I always prefered the WAVES one (it does let you setup a bus and then easily switch between the options and make adjustments without having to do a track by track). But liked the Cakewalk idea of having it in the pro-channel with the abilty to set it up across tracks pretty quickly and no seat limits.

Use voucher code during checkout! Flash Sale offer expires 11:59 pm PST on January 20, 2022. AMEK-2999 Makes it $30

It has been $10 a few times and also a "free with any purchase" at plugin boutique (which made it ~$5) But other than that, yes a high quality delay for a reasonable price. However, I think they need to update the presets to include more standard affair instead of mostly wacked out esoteric ideas.

Be sure to check what you already own. The lowest tier (and many in the higher tiers) were part of a dirt cheap bundle thing a few years ago I believe.

I'll wait. Don't see the need for a ~2GIG download for what is likley a new product that will have a high into price that won't make logical sense to jump on. And in the T-Rack environment all that means is one more annoying piece of gear that shows I that I can't use on a project. Hard Pass (for now) ?

I think we need more detail on the new license manager. Will it allow 3 USB sticks? Combo of USB and Computer? All at the same time? Is there an offline authorization process? I'm weary of companies that charge what they do and not spell out these important details. If it is as many devices as you personally own without restrictions then great, but I'd want it in writing before switching. This update doesn't apply to me as I'm not an M1 user nor do I use $800+ headphones that are included in the update.

Bapu was giving away a free seat, not the discount code.

I think it depends on the model, as there is quite a bit of difference. The MKiiC+ is a bit of a legend, used by Metallica, Prince, and Steve Lukather among others. You don't have to limit the use to a built in speaker either. I personally don't like many models that came after it.

Let me guess, you don't own a paid version of ToneX?

Had a friend just try it, he only has the Free ToneX version. Survey Popped up and the questions seem to imply not owning TONEX paid version. I own Tonex SE and did not get the survey. Lame. Other question I didn't like was would you want to be able to sell your own Tone Packs on ToneX. That would certainly change the value ToneX offers with the "unlimited' free tone models. As I imagine people might start being less generious in what they upload under that model. And frankly I'm a little surprised we are not seeing more. They asked what could be improved in TONEX, and even with "other" options they didn't have a place to specify. Uh, how about the fact captures on an older comptuer can take 5 hours for a single capture - that might impact how many captures we are seeing released.

Hopefully someone brave enough will be able to get our answers. News also seems not well thought out on the DearVR side as well since they sitll have multiple pages pointing to "plugin alliance" being the store to go to. Now that DearVR Monitor is for sale at Plugin Boutique, I figured something was changing.

Seems like there are a few people dropping it for Kirchhoff Eq Personally I think the Pro Q3 layout is better, but for the super nerdy types I get the apeal that there are in fact some added features in there.

Gotta say it is absolutly worth that. It is like the gift that keeps on giving as more profiles are added.

Same here and I tried computer and mobile. My opinion is also highly valuable related to TONEX. Not sure what the issue is, as the Mark IIc+ is only of the only amps I don't actually have already.

Yeah someone might need to check the Way back Machine on that one. I thought the implication was SBC owners got the multibamd when released, not a time sensitive ordeal.

Almost identical per some YouTube reviews and analytics. I never tested it myself though. I was looking forward to checking it out (as I'm a fan of the 200) but passed after watching some content around the time of release.

Same here unless I need to switch to a longer latency for mixing (vs playing in real time). It seems to crash Cakewalk like no-ones business if I increase the latency unlike my other audio interface(s).

Just imagine how the market would shift if the cost of the related upkeep/development was placed on the end user's need. i.e. if you are a MAC user - your price is "x" becuase that is where the development cost went. if you are a Windows users your price is "y" becuase we didn't need to update it in the last 10 years. Unless developers are charging next to nothing for the plugin - I think the consumer has some right to expect it to maintain compatiblity for many years. Outside of MACs, the updates required are not all that significant. We shoudn't forget these are not tangible goods with the costs associated with physical manufacturing and distribution. With very few exceptions they also have practically no re-sale value a couple years after they hit the market. If you have a plugin that sees significant feature additions (only a few come to mind) then price the initial release and upgrades accordingly. Things like WUP where you are buying the entire plugin again for the cost of service/maintenance is pretty absurd.

Vintage DS1 are closer to $300...I hope they didn't emulate a modern one. But they have also given away the DS-1 for free more times than I can remember with $20 off no min spend and it being on sale for $10. I never use the emulations though I grabbed them. Never cared for the Boss dirt boxes in real life and my boutique Rat sounds way better than an emulated one.
