https://www.sonarworks.com/summer-sale Just picked up the Apollo monitor add-on for a nicer price than normal. Didn't know they had a sale. I was pleasantly surprised.

Machine activation was added today (v. 1.0.1)

Got an e-mail yesterday about this. Looks interesting. $59.99 https://ownhammer.com/products/studio-standard

This is pretty much the only thing I use from iZotope these days.

I believe it does but you can authorize it to your computer with the iLok software now.

It’s a de-esser! In 99% of times you slap on the track in the correct place in the FX chain and it does exactly what you need it too! No need to pay attention to it. The video is well made, it makes de-easing look like art, but de-essing is not and will never be. I have de-essers that left me with wanting nothing, that needs less tweaking than what this thing seems to require! So screw this thing. After a couple decades doing this sound and music stuff professionally, a damn de-esser has never been anything I wished anyone improved upon. This is a product-dumbing-down-its-users, not an audio tool. Save your money and buy Soothe or Scaler or a week’s worth of Starbucks. This is snake oil IMHO. I’m sick of iZotope. I’ll get my coat…

It’s greedy on the CPU but it sure is fun modulating its parameters. For the price, go nuts. This is an elegant sound design tool.

Hmmm for some reason I was expecting more than just a collection of flutes from this one. But I’ll keep it in mind in case the right project turns up. The demos sound great!

Not a bad deal. Old but still very good, and I have never found anything like their Focus Equalizer.

You can’t beat $9 MIDI!

I feel that this would make Cubendo the ultimate eJay. I’m glad I’m not that into loops.

Damnit…

I bought a cheap preset pack for €5 and got this. It’s actually a pretty cool tool. Tried to beef up some old drum samples with it and the difference was significant. I’m going to see what I can do with some mediocre recordings of an acoustic kit in a production today. So far I’m quite impressed!

I stepped on a Lego and upgraded from K12. I needed the Double bass for a project and also wanted Noire for quite some time. Those were $100 more than the upgrade so now I have a heap of Play-series instruments I’ll never install. Always happy to have some more expansions, however.

Oh I’m not going down that rabbit hole again!!
