Add texture and warmth with real acoustic sounds

Reeds, tines, strings and all kinds of percussive stuff!

There's something about real acoustic sounds which just brings tracks to life – adding human feel, warmth and imprecision to electronic grooves, or anchoring rock and pop tracks with a bit of earthy grit. This weekend's FLASH SALE lops a third off some of our tastiest acoustic instruments:

I wonder if he'd take $45 an hour?

Rightly, and wisely spoken, Grasshopper.

Micro Flash Sale!

This weekend only: Rola!*

Whether you want the lush analogue tones of the Jupiter 6 in a handy little box, or prefer to simply go for all the saws all the time, we've got you covered. For the next couple of days only, MiniJupe and Insanity Saw are both one third off!

Deal ends when Mongo's hangover wears off on Monday, so hurry.

Does that mean they'll only call themselves "Baby" from now on?

Or maybe "Ceaseless Distribution Baby"

They are the sort of place that when you are fed up and short of money. You can spend your way to happiness!. Recommended.

HAHAHAHA!!  That is the true spirit of this forum!

This guy does some unusual stuff that's always interesting and sounds good.  He has a few paid models and quite a few free ones.

I know... that 'new-ness' is niggling away at me too. I'm just trying (my best) to be sensible 😁

Oh man, oh no, what are we coming to?

Sometime back I got Royal Compressor as a freebie.  I also have Cream2 by Acustica. Both of these are emulations of the Altec RS124 tube compressor used at Abbey Road.  To my ears the Acustica unit sounds better, but the Royal compressor isn't bad.  If you're looking a for an affordable Altec copy it's well worth a demo.

It's probably being posted to both Tonex and NAM as we speak.

$29.99 for Microsoft Office?! No thanks.

 

I think I'll pass on the "Rolex" too.

But it's authentic, I promise!

FWIW the magazine is 6.99 Euros which is about $7.73 USD.  The NoiseAsh NEED 73 Console EQ is $49 US, which makes this a darn good deal.

does Waves know NAM exists? $29 is significantly more pricey than compared with completely free. 

That's a great line and made me laugh out loud.  I'm deeply tempted to forward it on to Waves.  

Also, if you like NAM give guitarML a look.  It's free and uses the same technology.  https://guitarml.com/

I've been comparing this one recently to Efimov's older Nylon at $99, or $149 with a strummer. https://www.ilyaefimov.com/products/acoustic-guitars/nylon-complete.html

 

Or a newer one by Sketch, which is $49. https://sketchsamples.com/product/sketch-nylon/

 

Any opinions?

Renaxxance Nylon String Guitar by Indiginus is worth a look as well.  $59.    https://www.indiginus.com/renaxxance-nylon-string-guitar

I'm way to skeptical to update Waves Central right now as it created a severe problem for me on one machine already!

Me too.  Plus, after the recent fiasco I'm working hard to transition away from them permanently.

That looks fantastic!!  Glad you're back safe and sound.

Lay in the sunscreen and have a great time!  

What I love about it is that it's just so darn easy.   Lots of drop and drag.  You want to add a VSTi, then just drop and drag it.  You want to add an FX buss?  Then just drop an effect in an empty space in the mix view.  It's all very easy-peasy.    With all of your experience on Cakewalk I think you would be up and running in no time.  As a huge plus there are tons of great tuts on youtube.  Another plus is that there is 30 day demo so if you decide to try it you'll have plenty of time to get used to it.

All we know for certain is that these were addressed:

• Minor bug fixes
• General reliability improvements

🤣

Well, that really clarified things.  Thanks, IK!

That was genius!  Somebody needs to send a copy to Waves.

For the last year I've been dipping a toe into Blender.  Holy moly is that ever a complex program, but also astonishing considering it's free.

I will continue to wean myself off Waves irrespective of this announcement. 

Me too.  I'm out never to return.  "Fool me once . . ."

I got an email this morning from Kazrog with this subject line:   :Final hours: "perpetually" yours forever 😏"

You gotta love it.

I would hate to work in customer service at Waves right now.

You would learn just how many F-bombs one email/phone call could contain!

You gotta love the name if nothing else.
