Decent Sampler compatible too! Will check it out.

While I tend to agree, he does charge (reasonable amounts) for product updates - even for things that should have worked better in the first place. However, they have a great authorization system and prices.

I understood why they didn't send out a monthly voucher with the "bundle" sale but now we are in the normal sale territory....so hoping we see one. Then again, maybe this just provides an opportunity to save some money by not buying anything at all. ?

The fact they are offering it also for those that got the free Ampeg sounds generous to me. Still sounds like PA offered options to get it cheaper than through GP....why are people bashing PA again?

Correct me if I'm wrong. If you did not buy it on such as sale, you would actually have to pay more for it now due to the pricing structure. You going to fault them for that?

Not sure what you paid, but a lot of people got v3 for $25 (thanks to sale plus vouchers) and then are now offered v4 for $99. Well that has to be cheaper total cost than any option that was available to GP customers, right? Overall PA has some of the best pricing in the business for the quality of plugins once you get on the train, I don't see how many people can fault them for that.

Haven't used this one yet, but the channel strips that let you actually swap out to a different kind of compressor are fairly rare (and tend to be pricey - i.e. T-Racks5, Mixbox, or PSP Infinistrip, I'll include Omni-Channel here as many of us would need to buy more than one seat to be happy). I'm positive I have all the bases covered individually, but have a few options in one single view has some appeal. Love the PA channel strips for example, but most of them are stuck with one compressor type.

$5.50 to get FirePressor (can't resist since UnitedPlugins uses a great authorization method....and resizable GUIs) Sold Just remember to add the freebie to your cart, otherwise you will just be buying some Kick samples. https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/wav-samples/kicks/

Got that as part of a bundle, haven't used it yet though. If Scaler 2 wasn't so wonderful, I'm sure it would have seen some screen time.

I would be all over that if it didn't require full Kontakt. Will keep it as an option though if nothing else pops up.

Thanks for the confirmation, any idea how many authorizations (computers) this thing allows?

Waiting for someone to confirm before finding how what cheapie to purcahse to get it. ?

I like TBProAudio but having some UI problems with this one out of the gate in Cakewalk (don't have this issue of lack of meters or cut off text in their other products)

Costs too much for me to upgrade (which is what I anticipated they would do after putting it on Sale and Allowing it to be used with Vouchers) but I'm not sure it is worse than WAVES. Did anyone ever actually pay full price for this at PA (without a voucher or extra opportunity discount)? Seems pretty unlikley. Those that bought it straight from GP, likely already paid a premium price. It isn't like you could have purchased v3 for $25 out of pocket like some were able to though PA. Comparing to WAVES is unfair, when has WAVES ever had a real upgrade to a product like this? (until they drop the price or add the option to run the thing as a VST3, I won't be interested. This thing needs to be able to run both stand alone and to pull up those same interface/settings within a DAW itself as a VST)

Cakewalk by Bandlab is the only DAW I use....and have used production version of Scaler 2 since the day it dropped. I've seen a few bugs for sure, but as long as I save often, I have no issue using it really. This is the forum I'd suggest not PIB https://forum.scalerplugin.com/c/general/8

I think this is what we are looking for

So your plugins are up-to-date in terms of features. Therefore you are planning on giving them more money just for the fun of it, or becuase they are so bug infested you need to pay for the support and keep that current? Just asking

Sounds like something you should post on their forum to try to get customer support on instead of giving up on it. It isnt' the most stable VST I've ever used (haven't gotten to test the update yet), but certainly never had problems like that. I think it is an amazing tool.

There are actually only a few string makers, most are just re-branded.

Free update for those that have Scaler 2. Discount for thsoe that don't. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Music-Theory-Tools/6439-Scaler-2?utm_campaign=384132_PB - Midweek NL - 26-05-2021&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Newsletter&dm_i=6D39,88EC,102YK4,YR5W,1

Incorrect. You just can't get the dynamic discounts applied to that particular plugin at the reduced price.

Good point, the most recent email itself even has conflicting info...both quotes in the same email. I had not caught the 29th previously so it seems inevitable that it will expire on the 29th and we will see a Memoral Day weekend sale or something like that. (May 29 - 11:59 PM California Time) It expires at the end of this month.

Not for this one, but I have to imagine I'd love one for the inevitable sale before the end of the month they will run on something else at a more reasonable price point. ?

Ugh, anyone know how to remove a freebie from my PB account? ?

The Turbo Reverb (even the LE version) is pretty crazy in the number of options it provides and I find the sound quality to be top notch for an Algo verb. As for the keep the value proposition. This is true as long as you plan on keeping them. If you plan to sell them, perhpas not so much as I think the transfer fee is something like 20% of current full retail, which can make the more expensive plugs (like the Turbos) rather difficult to "sell" As for me, I plan on keeping them and appreciate the free updates and continual improvements. Looking forward to the Version 15 offiical release.
