I ran PA amp sims (and IKM sunset sound reverb) which sound great with a real guitar for my test. Honeslty found the sound deplorable. EZKeys I can at least get something usable out of. (though tend to run it as an engine to run another vst)

Did you demo it? I tried it this morning and spent the time to find the files to delete it from my HD altogether. Only PA plugin I've tried so far that I thought was basically useless.

Have both (and think both are good). The Fiedler seems like the more unique tool of the two. Mpressor needs a resizable update, IMO. Chances are we will have a code reset in the next couple days...so there is also that...

When they run a Mega Sales, not every plugin hits the lowest ever price. I imagine part of this is to minimize some of the compound discounting and those that have the $250 voucher from a subscription. It is true VSM-3 on its own has been cheaper. It is a cool plugin. I'd say run a demo of it (and also run a demo of MSaturator from melda and mess wit the 2nd and 3rd harmonics). It is surprising how much of that kind of sound/effect you can get for free. And if you happen to have MSaturator MB you can get even more of the way there becuase it allows you to target parts of the frequency like VSM-3 does. But as someone that has all of those, I do still use VSM-3.

Yes, but it has been given away so many times (even without purchase) that the number of people that actually don't have it must be fairly low.

Yep, def interested in this one. The question is can I hold out until Jan 4th when they likely release a new freebie? As this should last til Jan 9th I've got all the current freebies:

Then that means the Amek Eq isn't the latest thus more prone to price drops Bring on another channel strip too!

Not if you don't have full Kontakt it isn't. ?

I've used Bome MIDI translator classic for a few years to do the MIDI to keyboard shortcuts/combos. You can test it out for free, just has a count down splash page - simlar concept to REAPER. Mostly use it for Photo Software interaction with a X-Touch Mini controler (similar functionality as Loopdesk offers without the propreitery interface). https://www.bome.com/products/mtclassic

Along with the cockroachs that can't be killed off....or are they one in the same?

While you are at it, tell him we still want a Pro Channel version of the Pan Knob. He noted that was a good idea, but never did anything about it. Honestly I'd be surprised if he coulnd't make it in a single day worth of work.

Send an email to Boz. I have a bunch of their plugins and recall one or two were not showing up in my account b/c they were purchased elsewhere. Sent him all the proof and they are now all in one nice and tidy place in my account. Add to the rant thread, some of the Exponential Audio stuff shows up in my Izotope account and some doesn't. With the ilok thing in the middle I don't think all the info gets passed back to Izotope, which is annoying.

Bump for 2012-12 update (see post #2 for the link)

They are my go-to also, but I've seen a few failures in more than 100 deployments - so they are not perfect - but about as close as I'm going to expect for the price.

Hate on them all you want but that last group by was pretty epic. The support cases I had with them were usually related to free give aways not showing up, was surprised support responding within a couple hours on the day of the give away no less. Massive installs when you don't own much is very annoying. Group Buy helped me ease that pain, but understand the frustration.

Guess I should have waited for the price match and paid the foreign transactiosn fees. With TT directly, 3.5+ hours after my order and still no sign of the product and no response from customer service.

Ordered directly from TT over 40 minutes ago and waiting for them to actually put the product into my account. (email said order is complete, but no serial number, and not in my account)

Only give it a test if you are willing to part with the money. It is CPU hungry, but it sounds and behaves like a real world box in ways many other plugins only wish they did. Playing live guitar through it is a treat

Sound like a Binson echorec.

Indeed, that said my Audiority Echoes gets tons of use as the TurboDelay just doesn't have anything that does that....which is surprising.

I own Turbo Delay, TurboEQ, and CompLE, ReverbLE. Three of those came from the Essentials bundle (TurboEQ was separate. My extra discount is not as much as I expected, granted two of them you would think "upgrade price" but still. Basically owning all that only gives me an extra 6% off the bundle from what a non-owner gets. These are some massively powerful, feature rich plugins.

Another 20% off for new users with my referral code MELDA31209027

Depends on how well you can draw. I'd say it is a workflow thing. Melda makes good stuff - it might not offer anything different than an alternative workflow. It isn't a go to for me but I also don't usually have the Wacom setup when I'm making music.

I'm not a VU meter expert but I'll take this one for free over the WAVES one (and no annoying WUP) https://www.tbproaudio.de/products/mvmeter2 (has GUI scaling up to 400%)

The installer straight from Skylum's website (not shareware on sale)??
