There are some plugins I couldn't live without, but there are three or four times that many that I can live without. The biggest issue isn't the quality, but just having too many duplicates that are aimed at emulating or performing in a similar fashion. Think compressor emulations or EQs doing... EQ things.
I could use something that is arguably better and newer (because people and reviewers are telling me this, especially some Grammy-award-winning producer I've never heard about).
There are some good points here because there is soooooooooooooo much marketing hyperbole around plugins. "This one sounds EXACTLY like an LA2A that used vintage solder made before 1957." They seem to always be finding a new angle to sell us the same stuff. More and more I try to consider "What do I have, and what do I really need?" That alone does wonders for the credit card balance.

Is this the lowest price ever? Now is the time to snag it.

I used Claude Sonnet 3.7 with limited results (and it made me feel dirty) before I discovered ConvertWithMoss which is easy and does a brilliant job.
I just checked this out (though I haven't installed it yet) and it looks great! Thanks for the heads-up.

A CAL script is a text file that one can open in Cakewalk that can programmatically manipulate or enter MIDI data inside Cakewalk.
CAL stands for Cakewalk Application Language. It has been available in various iterations of Cakewalk going back a few decades.
Up until around 2002, one could edit CAL scripts directly inside Cakewalk.
Fortunately, the latest versions of Cakewalk and Sonar can still load and execute them.
Geez, I am truly impressed you can do that. I thought I was doing good to change the color of a track.

At that price this one is definitely deserving of a demo.

Wow - that's a great price for all that you get. I love Amp Room but the CPU hit is almost unjustifiable, at least on my system. I heard from the support team that they're working on improving start times and maybe some other efficiencies but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Ditto. It sounded great, but my computer was groaning while using it.

Just curious, has anyone ever obtained a better mix by using an AI product compare to doing it yourself?
I'm asking because I still produce better-sounding mixes by manually applying my plugins.
Generally speaking, Sonible's Smart EQ will do a better, and far more subtle, job eq'ing than I will. I tend to be a bit of a bull in a china shop with EQ. Also, AIYAC's Mix Monolith gets me in the ballpark of a decent mix really quickly.

I'm glad to see some love being given to AD2. Even though it's fairly old, I think it still sounds great. For a while I thought it was headed to the abandonware graveyard. I'm glad to see I was wrong.

Anybody have it and care to comment?
I'm thinking of getting it but not sure.
I will watch the YouTube videos tonight to help me decide.I got it during the last sale. It seems to do a good job of testing your hearing. Is the test as good as going to an audiologist? Probably not, but I'm guessing it does a decent job of letting you know where your hearing issues are. I was relieved to discover I wasn't as deaf as I thought. You drop it on the end of your plugin chain (usually on the master buss) and it adds an inverse curve of what your hearing loss is. It let me see I was adding a bit too much top end to my mixes to compensate for my loss there. IMHO it was worth $29.

Waves looks after you by offering cheap discounts on the bundles until you upgrade to the largest ones and then you're locked in to paying the max WUP I believe, as you can't WUP the individual plugins, only the total bundle. Someone can probably jump in and correct me if that's not right.
So if that's the case, they're probably still better than IK, UA, Softube, etc. in that regard, but leave lot to be improved.. that and they gave everyone with perpetual licenses the middle finger by trying to go subscription only, which meant that users who didn't pay an ongoing fee would never be able to WUP again..
Glad that play crashed and burned 🤣
I still haven't gotten over that one. Maybe one day I'll make peace with them again, but as for now they are definitely on the "No-Fly" list.

I wish that IK would ask us if we want to remove discontinued rather that just doing it. I appreciate very much the heads-up on that as well as the work around. Thanks.
