Dang it you guys! ?

I just got some emails. Looks great! Thanks @Music Software Deals guy! ?

I'm in... I've been watching a couple of videos on the Evolution Guitar and am honestly pretty blown away! Wow! 64!

When I click of some, they say "Kontakt Player Included". Is there an easy way to tell which ones require the FULL version of Kontakt?

And don't forget about Boz's spring verb! https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/recoil/

It would still be nice to see the name of the plugin on sale in the emails. -- OR -- Maybe better, a summarized email with ALL of your plugins you're watching that are on sale at the moment. This is what my email client looks like currently...

Another great idea! But definitely give users the CLEAR option to opt out of getting the emails.

Nope - and this one in particular was very welcome and badly needed!

I love presets, especially for complicated plugins. It's a great way to learn them and a good starting point if you find one you like. BTW, here's the mix where I used the Clearmountain Spaces on the kick (and snare too, I think). I kind of abandonded it a year ago because I wasn't quite happy with it, so it's not really "finished". But I never would have tried a verb on the kick if I hadn't seen the preset in the Clearmountain plugin. I think it was something like "Beefy Low End" or something like that. But I kind of liked it! Disclaimer: this style is NOT a genre in my wheelhouse so I'm not certain how well things are balanced in that regard.

What happens if my Input Range is smaller than the range of the source material? Does it compress/expand the signal at that point? It's confusing to me. If you don't mind, could you jot dot down like a step by step "how to" on setting this up for leveling a vocal? i.e. 1. Select vocal preset 2. Determine Input Range 3. Select desired Output Range. 4. Slide the Output range around until it sounds good. I'll keep reading through your docs, but I would just like to see if/what I'm missing. Thanks!

I only have the Clearmountain Spaces because it's been the most discounted on sales. I was really excited to get it because, well, Bob Clearmountain. I like that it incorporates a de-esser and an EQ, but the presets seem pretty limited. (I guess I'm hard to please, because I don;t like too many presets either!) But it has been very instructional as far as a "reverb chain" and the need to incorporate those pieces, including multiple reverbs. But other than getting a really great round kick drum sound, I've honestly been kind of "meh" on this one. I need to break it out again and run it through its paces. It's certainly worth the sale price of $30 though. I'm very curious about his Domain plugin, but it's priced waaaaay too $$ for me. Same with the Phases plugin.

I'm glad you posted @Aaron Robinson! I literally just pulled out this plugin last night and have been trying to get my head around what you are doing here - because it seems like a really NEW approach. I think you're really on to something, but it is a new approach to me an I'm just not sure where to start. 1. Where should we post specific questions? (I can email, but an open dialog on a forum - KVR? - would be ideal I think.) 2. To update, do I just download the latest version here? https://apu.software/download/ 3. My use case: I would like to level a dynamic vocal using the LUFS loudness type option. This may be a stupid question, but I'm trying to get my head around how to adjust Input Range? Should I treat it like an Input knob and slide the Input Range around until all of the signal falls within it? How do I select the proper range? How do I select the right level? Is there Compression/Expansion happening at the Input stage?

And some quality FREE plugins too! LOVE the 4u Meter/Fader! https://hofa-plugins.de/en/plugins/4u/

Got mine around 10am EST too.

They said it would be available afterwards which is good, because I could only half listen because I was at work.

There was a banner at the top of the chat that you had to click to see the details. It had a link which took you to sign up page which said you'd get a code emailed within 24 hours. I've gotta say, it was annoying as --- to see the number of attendees who kept posting "CODE" and stupid stuff like that when you had Alan Freakin' Parsons sitting there taking questions and talking about making music. Sad.

I have Flaw and Irid but honestly haven't used them enough to give any sort of thorough review. However, I have used them both and was able to dial up decent sounds for each of the mixes I was working on t the time. In particular, I found Irid intuitive and gave me pleasing results quickly. I like the UIs too, so I guess that's something. ?

@El Diablo Resource hog, yes, but Nectar 3 Plus is one of my favorite Izotope plugins, if not THE favorite and is waaaaay better than the Elements version! I like to run it on a vocal to see what it thinks the vocal needs, then I tweak from there. But later in the mixing process or if I need it on more than a couple of tracks or if there are a lot of tracks and I'm needing more CPU, this is one of the first places I look and I'll render the track with the plugin to save some cycles. One of my favorite features is the Follow mode on the EQ. I almost always look there first to see where to reduce muddiness and/or boxiness in the vocal track. I like the auto Leveler on this thing too. But this is a very VERY good plugin IMHO and has a solid place in my mix template on LV! -- edit --- Forgot to mention the De-esser too!

Good idea! I'll have to try this. Only 2 of like 8 plugins show up for me. It'll be nice to see them all in one place. It's always bugged me that they don't show up on the SSL site...

This may be old news to some of you, but in case it's not... I just stumbled across this while going through and updating my plugins. https://www.solidstatelogic.com/ssl-download-manager You still need to figure out which ones you own because there is no "My Plugins" option - probably because they don't know. Regardless, it's pretty slick and will tell you which plugins are needing an update so you don't have to wait for @TheSteven to post that there is one. ? --- edit --- How to find your SSL Plugins: https://support.solidstatelogic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4408124029585-Where-can-I-find-plug-ins-I-registered-previously-

Definitely interested in hearing this! And I thought this was just a "deals" forum.

Good points all and I've simmered down a bit. But I still stand by this statement. Why would you sell software that is being sunset? As was pointed out, OS updates will eventually kill an unsupported piece of software. And yes, I should be able to use this for years to come. But it rubbed me the wrong way on a much smaller scale than Waves: give us more money and by the way we are no longer supporting the software you just purchased...

LOL! I thanks them for the heads up AND mentioned that in the support email I just sent. Waves, not the pitchforks, that is... They should offer a FREE upgrade to existing customers of the old versions. I realize development takes resources, but if you want customers to keep spending money with you, throw them a bone. A little brand loyalty goes a long way. @lawajava "The original has a killer sound, easy to use, and is light on the CPU." 100% agree. I'm a little sad not be able to keep using it to be honest.
