Judging from the valute cited on PB's site (£103.94), the freebie they're offering is the full product, not the demo. If true, it would be the best of the bunch (IMO).

Thoughts?

Fagen and Becker would be proud!

I guess Steven Slate doesn't like me. ?

Same experience here. I go to ST4 to find a sound, fight the browser for five minutes, and then give up and go to Omnisphere, Kontakt, Halion, etc. to get the job done. It really took them 10 years to make this thing?!? LOL

How long does it take to receive an email code?

The second code (just received) appears to be the same deal as the first code.

Right -- exploit our GAS!

Okay, I think I get it now ... this may be the first plugin in a new CLA series. He drops a hint to that effect at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WutbdnbmMEo

Me too ... I'm going to give it a test drive.

Yes, I agree with everything you said, particularly about copying his setup to our DAWs. It took me just five minutes to do that in Cubase, and it works great! But that's what's so strange about EchoSphere (to me); it doesn't really provide new mixing functionality or simplify a complex setup (like CLA's). In fact, one could argue that it's not even as versatile as CLA Effects. By comparison, EchoSphere is like a step backwards, and so I'm surprised that it was associated with CLA and Mixing with Depth. But hey, I'm with you, I think it sounds good and certainly will give it a try in my mixes. Cheers...

Boy, talk about anticlimactic! His Mixing with Depth videos described complex combinations of nearly a dozen delay/reverb processors. CLA EchoSphere, in contrast, comprises just slap and plate. I'm curious how CLA/Waves will spin this plugin vis-a-vis his course. In it he implies that we'd be able to reproduce (the semblance of) his setup. Then again, it's always nice to receive a freebie! ?

Have you ever tried FabFilter Timeless 2? It's a bit different from the rest. I don't use it often, but it's good when a 'regular' delay doesn't cut it. Also, if you have Cubase 10.5 and later, don't forget about MultiTap Delay. It also has some good presets. I'm just starting to use it myself. Cheers!

Any chance for an EZbass deal?

Looks like Waves jacked-up prices to compensate for the 60% off. Nice!

I can't see it either ...

XO is listed at $89.97 ... did it already go up?

I received them free as a promotion from Musician's Friend many years ago. I also got Toxic Biohazard from them in a separate promotion; which I love.

I'm impressed by how good this is (compared to everything else out there)! Although it's not something I'd use for lead vocals, it could be used for mockups to get an idea of how different vocal lines will sound in a track. I might even try using it to generate BGVs.

SPHERE is a new VST plugin designed to set the vibe to make a hit in seconds. ?

I'm not sure if you're asking me specifically, but of the ones I have (Devastor2, Drumazon, Fazortan, Frontier, Sigmund, Syntorus), Frontier is the one I use the most by far (on my drum buss). Occassionally I will use Fazortan and Syntorus when I want that analog vibe. Both are good but neither are ever my first choice. I don't recall ever using any of the others (beyond demoing them). So, I guess I really can't make a recommendation. And after writing this I now think it's unlikely that I'll actually buy anything from them in the near future. I put D16 in the same group as Melda: I like the company and want to support them, but just don't find myself using their stuff enough to justify purchases.

That's my sixth free D16 plugin. I think it's time to buy something from them.

The search function on this site doesn't work that well (I looked through the first two pages of results).

The Great Escape is a dynamic tremolo plug-in, made in collaboration with Thrilltone and modeling their original hardware all analog pedal. Instead of being just a standard but still very good sounding tremolo, the two of them feature an envelope detector which changes the speed and the depth of the effect with your playing. Indeed, tremolo is a great effect, but we must admit that in most cases, it has this mechanical and repetitive behavior, which leads us to use it in a very occasional manner, with pretty smooth intensity... Now, thanks to the envelope detector, tremolo can be a very expressive audio effect! Fully featured with tons of controls, and presets made by Francois Maxime Boutault from Les Liens Du Son, The Great Escape is simply the most versatile dynamic tremolo plug-in you’ve ever dreamed of! https://www.musicalentropy.com/TheGreatEscape.html
