You beat me to this one. The dev is the DSP coding genius behind a lot of the Brainworx plugins. Now $29 from $79. Several are free, so you can try them first. Nembrini Analog Rack bundle His Plugin Rig Host lets you build FX chains and save them. Now $9 from $39. Plugin Rig Host Alternatively, any audio FX stomp-box-like plugin that does what you want should work.

I did not know how much I needed some

My final BF purchase. BIAB 2019 Mega ==> BIAB 2020 Ultra. ?

Actually, he updated all of his plugins. I just d/l'd MJUC, VUMT, VUMT Deluxe, DC8C3 and SDDR2. No slowness encountered.

I have a feeling that there are some caching issues that account for the different user experiences.

1909 was more of Service Pack-type of release. It didn't even trash AD2 and AK authorizations.

Odd. This morning, the download link on the Union web page was for v1.01, which I already had installed. When I went to check the versions of the other plugins of theirs that I own (under My Account), I noticed a v1.02 download for Union. Downloaded and installed.

Had that one for years! I also have Singularis, PMI Börsendorfer 290 (which they no longer sell), and the most-excellent Rain Piano MK2 (both versions: Kontakt and Presence XT). Plus, for no good reason, the INIL Choir.

Downloading (veeeeery slowly) Little *****, a nice little Hammond M100 with a Leslie 147. Heck of a deal for $4.90. EDIT: Seems like this forum doesn't like the product name.

I had to start SS at 62, as well. I wanted her dog more than I wanted my ex or her money. And I'm much happier for it. Once on a fixed income, I remain kind of surprised how it's gone. You get used to the budget you have to set for yourself. And then eliminate one thing. Like alcohol. [Easy for me. I lost the ability to metabolize it a couple of years ago.] I had MONEY left at the end of the month! Quite a bit. OK, I admit to spending some of the leftover bucks on music. But it felt good! Good luck to you!

His amp sims! I have Vermilion, Caliburn and Creme for guitars, and Cerberus for bass. All good, except that Creme is more difficult to fit in a mix.

Kann i mi net versteh. Zum Wohl! ?

Thanks for the heads up! I'll add them to my watch list!

It's not you. It's YouTube. YT transcode everything you upload, the quality of the transcode being (partially) related to your status (views, subscribers, etc.). YT also have very specific audio specifications. Try the free Youlean Loudness Meter plugin. I have the new Pro version ($47), but the free one should have all of the presets, including one for YouTube. If your audio is hotter than the specs, they'll definitely transcode it. Youlean Loudness Meter Edit: Once you get your audio to meet YT specs, search for tips to on how to get YT to transcode your upload using their highest/best quality. I vaguely remember one tip being to edit the uploaded video (delete ONE frame) and save/reupload. Something like that. If any of this helps, please post an update.

Just so you know... I'm betting that the free plugin will be v11. If you haven't upgraded yet, guess what? All your v9/v10 plugins will still run just fine, but you'll just keep adding WaveShells. Most of my plugins were still under WUP from a BF special a couple of years ago. Waiting for something similar, so I can upgrade the remainder. I am NOT paying >$150 to reWUP them. FWIW, the upgrade was pretty painless, just slow.

Baps, you are the master of the rhetorical question.

I bought individual Soundtoys plugins when offered at a stupidly low price, even if it wasn't the FX I needed/wanted at the moment. Then last BF or the one before (too old to remember or care), I got a great deal on the bundle because of the plugins I already owned. I've paid maybe $150 (certainly less than $200) for the bundle. Great deal! And the bundle is the only way to get the Soundtoys FX Rack. Niiiiiiiiiice.

I jumped on this straightaway. Really clean initial sound. Full 88 keys. Modeled. No samples. Small. Fast. Very playable. VST2, plus standalone. I also have his Fire Piano Bass and Glassy Digital EP. Both are modeled. The Piano Bass is modeled on the Rhodes Piano Bass that Ray Manzarek played when the Doors toured (they toured without a bass player). Lots of fun!

Army here. Germany '71-72. Tactical intel, 7th Army. Seven Steps To Hell. Wore that fatigue jacket for a LONG time. Had deployment orders to Pakistan. Nixon was sending us into the Pakistan/India war. Indian launched a major offensive 48 hours before we were shipping. War over. Bangladesh created from East Pakistan. Only the (still) disputed territory in the north. No deployment into that front line. I'm still among the living. I have the greatest respect for those who sacrificed everything...and for their families, as well. And for those who sacrificed a lot...our service-connected disabled vets. And for those now serving in a dangerous world. If any of you know of a vet having trouble with the VA and getting recognition/compensation for a service-connected issue, ask them to contact the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). Look for a National Service Officer close to you. They helped me when the VA screwed me over. I'm a life member. Other than that lousy incident, I've had very good luck with the VA (except Hines VA Medical Center in the Chicago area and Hayden VA in Phoenix; avoid both). Sorry for the length, but one other thing... For those on Medicare, with this being the annual election period... The agent at USAA turned me on to the Humana Honor PPO. It's designed for vets who get their primary healthcare and prescription drugs through the VA. $0 monthly (they just get your Part B premium taken from your Social Security check). Includes dental, periodontal and vision. Reasonable deductibles. Will save me about $2500/yr over Medicare/Medigap. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Worthy update! Don't know why I didn't notice the slide into an island vibe for a bit. Really nice!

Oh, come on. We all know that computers are designed to help us take more time to do less.

I'm holding on tight. OPIA sounds pretty good, but they are tempting me with the OPW Toolkit ($29; wonder where they got that price). The demos sound pretty good. The main patch (Oliver's Piano) has only 4 layers with 2 round robins, but sounds (and seems to play in the video) pretty darn good. https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/oliver-patrice-weder-opw/ Here's one of his songs that use sounds he included in the toolkit.

I need to take back what I said. They did something smart! I have Analog Lab 4, Matrix 12 and Wurli. Previously, any update downloaded the entire multi-gig file. This time, they only downloaded the bits that needed updating (I was on the latest versions). All three took longer to install than they did to download. Tons of small .png files to support GUI resizing. Slow, and very wasteful of hard drive space. I downloaded and updated all three in less than 15 minutes. Almost like the 8th Wonder Of The World!

I'll update, but, Todd, you're right...they are PAINFULLY slow. I think they serve from their own servers in France. Have they never heard of cloud services like AWS? Oh, wait, Amazon aren't French. Sorry.
