A bargain at any price.

Looks like DJ Swivel's Spread is $19 instead of $39. Other Swivel plugs are on sale as well. At Plugin Boutique https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/27-Stereo-Width/6761-Spread

$349 instead of 499. Upgrades to R12 also 30% off. A bunch of add-ons are sale priced as well. Also the subscription based Reason + is 50% off if you prefer to bleed slowly. https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/browse/?product_type=music-software&sort=name Until 11/28

Can anyone suggest the best cymbal pack for BFD? A long time ago I had BFD2 and BFD Eco had a Zildjan add on, I loved those cymbals!!! But then BFD took a dump and BFD Eco disappeared into 32 bit oblivion. I now use SD3 but the cymbals in SD3 are a bit lifeless by comparison. Thx!

"You shure picked a fine time to leave me, Larscille" Welcome back, hope whatever rescue mission you had went well!

Ah, there we go, thanks! Perhaps instead of "no results found" it might say "no current deals found". ? Just a refinement that ups the user experience for dolts like me ?

From my phone, I searched for "Reason 12", got no results. I see on your manufacturer's list that you have Propellerhead, which I think is their old name, but no products under that, either. Unless it's a mobile phone search issue, you may want to add Reason Studios and Reason 12. ? Thanks, its a great site, especially for BF!

Not their entire catalog, as I hoped before I had enough coffee this am. Just ebooks and a few plugins. None of the mixrooms.

Does Reason ever go on sale? I don't want to bleed out $$$ for years for the subscription variant, "Reason +" . . .

What do I win?!?

I'm a keyboard player, have been in rock bands. I prefer rock without keyboards, actually. Unless it's Rush, Pink Floyd, and a few select others. Too many keyboard lines in a song tends to turn it from rock into pop rock. Piano? Hey, some early Dire Straits had no piano. An album or two later, some tasteful piano. Later albums, lots synth. That's an evolution/devolution from rock to pop rock.

For me anyways, deCoulda done better on this one, it's pretty MMeh. LE.

Yes! The video concept was clever enough and very cleanly presented, great editing choices without being overly fancy, loved it. But the chorus was the standout, so well mixed, and lifted into prominence in the song like a good catchy chorus should be. Stellar! cheers, -Tom

Well I thought it was great and a real treat to rehear this song. Great chords. Ideas? The nifty guitar solo is at times in front of the beat, which is certainly ok, but as the solo is note-perfect with the sung melody, I found it a bit rushed. You could get away with more rubato in a guitar solo if it weren't mirroring the vocal line. Perhaps. IDK. I liked your vocal, certainly a lower register than the original, but the original as I recall was gratuitously doubletracked, or maybe even triple tracked. super smooth up there he was. What a great project, it's come out very well. Your taste in covers is excellent. cheers, -Tom

Can we "stickie" this thread to the top of the Deals forum? Like putting a step-on scale right in front of the refrigerator?

It's worth it if it's awesome and one has the scratch. And if baby doesn't need new shoes. I'd go fora small or medium-sized sky for $29. ?

Bapu, if inclined, please give your impressions of the Vocoder? I thought their demo vid was anti-marketing. Didn't like the results they showcased! Curious how you get on with it.

Rage Against the

Friggin awesome.

@paulo and @SteveStrummerUK are a pair addled. images (1).mp4

Very nice vocals indeed, and they get a lot of support from well chosen pads and bgv. For a nit, it felt like the drum programming was throwing in a lot of fills in the middle of sung verses, a bit distracting for me. Uh, the ending??? ? is something planned??? There is a crapton to like here and your vocals top the list, very good song worthy of everyone's time. cheers, -Tom

Bass is ahead of the drums. But good groove potential, I like the instrumentation. I'll check back for sure!

I would find it much less threatening if an audience full of holograms had paid to watch me perform.

That's super great, a real looker! The bridge appears a bit elevated for the lower strings? Is that just the picture tricking me? And is that a single lipstick-style pickup? And what are those three screw heads in a triangle underneath the strumming zone? Very curious, I haven't seen this configuration before. The tobacco burst is outstanding. congrats!!!
