Fulltone Is Closed: Is This The End Of The Boutique Era?
Brian Walton replied to Old Joad's topic in The Coffee House
I've got dozens of "boutique" pedals. Only Fulltone I had on the board for a while was a Deja Vibe (though I've tried most everything they ever made). There are so many fulltone pedals on the market that it doesn't even feel like "boutique" is even appropriate at this point. Glad they had a long run, but not having them made any longer isn't going to be earth shattering. Tons of other stuff on the market plus these are not the kind of thing that ends up in a landfill very often. Those that got made will still work for a long long time and can be repaired when/if the Caps crap out some day. There was a time where Fulltone was one of the only easily available hand built options. Now everyone and their brother is a pedal builder. There are a few things the market will lose with this annoucemnet - the actual real world tape delay and the tri chorus. Other builders are not really going to spend time with that kind of stuff. Everything else is well covered, IMO. -
Plugin Alliance: Boom $20 Voucher / Free plugins! (No minimum spend)
Brian Walton replied to MusicMan's topic in Deals
I never picked up anything from Izotope from the PA_EXT but the other ~5 or so I bought previously were delivered in a couple minutes...so this is "different" -
Plugin Alliance: Boom $20 Voucher / Free plugins! (No minimum spend)
Brian Walton replied to MusicMan's topic in Deals
https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/izotope-neoverb.html You need both a monthly voucher code by signing up to their email prior to this month as well as the "boom" voucher in the thread. Note, I haven't heard or see anyone actually report they got the redemption code yet. Half a day later I'm still waiting. -
DId you actually get an email with a code after this? How long did it take? Ordered 1 hr ago here and nothing so far.
-
Does this "Komplete" include Absynth? I'll get my coat. ?
-
I haven't tested it yet, thought the same but the reviews mentioning how much of a resource hog it is (based on the way the thing operates) has keep me at bay.
-
I'm in the same boat due to Nembrini Sales (and realistically only had my eye on the new Suhr amp as I have all the other good PA ones since that has some overlap with the NA ones, not feeling too compelled) That said, depending on what you have from PA it can be more or less Tempting. Train II and Buxom are quite unique (unless you paid crazy UA money already for them). But lots of the other ones do have quite a bit of overlap from other vendors and then it comes down to which you prefer. Then again this, new $25 voucher puts things like the Amek 9099 console at $15. That is crazy good.

Software is a different beast than analog hardware. Computer Based Synths that are 20 years old had a pretty heavy wall they were up against with computer power and functionality. I'm not going to suggest they didn't make some cool sounds (they certainly did) but it isn't really comparable to guitar hardware (tube amps, etc).
-
All depends on what you want and are looking for. This puts many of the amps at all time lows with the voucher. $5 (Chandler) and $10 for a plethora of the newer amps is basically as good as it has ever been. The lack of $20 is annoying since we would still have to pay for transfers with this current situation. But those looking to pick up amps, even when they ran the $20 vouchers - many of these amps would have been at a $40 tier with a few at the $30 thus this is as good or better for those prospective buyers.
-
I think the question is checking out with an actual freebie. They have free plugins without need to purchase but still require a checkout process. Paid purchase is well paid even if you only wanted the freebie of the month.
-
No way, would be difficult to go back to the last "sonar" version at this point. This particular release, while I'm all for fixes this particular one doesn't seem to intersect with things I ever work with.
-
Maybe I read the wrong release notes, none of the things you mention are on a "fix list" referenced in the OP link as far as I can tell
-
Only DAW I use is Cakewalk. None of these fixes are things in my workflow though.
-
Have it but never used it really. Things that depend on a side chain setup, I tend to get put in the unused bucket on my end. It can work without side chain but I already have other plugins that generally serve the function that this one does. So it could depend on what you have in the tool box. They seem to have a good licensing system, so that is always a plus in my book

While I expected them to do this and didn't sign up for forever 29 as I anticipated that. The original terms of the plan was 100% under the concept that upon new release you could get new plugins at the discount that was the point. Not waiting for sales way down the road. New plugin gets released, if you are on the sub you have the option to get it. That was infact the incentive. I didn't expect they would do it for the expensive NI and iZotope stuff but there is a strong argument to be made here.

JRR hasn't sent my serial number yet but based on my research this suggests you should be able to https://support.guitar-pro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000825529-GP7-6-Can-I-install-Guitar-Pro-7-6-on-more-than-one-computer-#:~:text=YES.,computers at the same time. If it didn't allow it, I wouldn't have pulled the trigger.

I picked it up for $10 a few months ago so matches previous pricing.

Melda DreamMachines (free for some, deal for others)
Brian Walton replied to Zolton's topic in Deals
I thought that might be it also until I played it. Didn't sound like what Chandler was getting to me though it might be in the same genere. I thought Chandler's was more Natural and dynamic than this one. -
Melda DreamMachines (free for some, deal for others)
Brian Walton replied to Zolton's topic in Deals
Thanks Chandler. Where exactly is the Taiko instrument? I'm on v16.0. Did it get renamed to something other than Taiko? -
What do you find made the expense worth it above the free Tux guitar?
-
Same, got all for for less than the cost of this plus a whole lot more.
-
Yikes, even worse. TAPEBUNDLE-9999 is the code they sent out to anyone on the email list.
-
Well it happened, but without vouchers to stack with it, I can't believe anyone would pay $99 for the 2 plugins. And yes, I like Tape Machine 24.
