Weird coincidence. I was looking around for a SH-01A boutique in the last couple of days, but couldn't really justify the price for something that would add something, but not a lot to my setup. So I was looking into second hand. And suddenly, there is Softube. This is great!

I got around to installing everything this weekend. I did not have the patience to do everything manually, so I just used the PM with a custom installation folder. Everything seemed to have worked. But I will check the GS-V and Syner-V. Got some lovely sounds out of it so that's a plus. Also got multiple crashes of Ableton when using it (I think I used the Sampletank VST), so that's a definite minus.

And it's gone.

Well darn. Now I'm interested again...

Weird, I got my 75 and the generic 25. That being said and not to hijack a thread, but my 75 voucher is also up for grabs. First to PM gets it.

And here I am, thinking "oh crap, now I have to buy this one like I always do, whilst I am in the middle of saving up for some hardware and not buying plugins". Went through my account, seems like I already have my desired K13 (Ultimate). Pfew, I would like to thank myself for saving myself from buying something for myself which I myself already bought for myself.

Well, I'm not UNinterested. As it happens I don't have a lot of the PA plugins and the Izotope upgrades seem nice. I'm waiting for black friday though. No rush in getting it now. I didn't bite on the 4.1 upgrade and this one too can wait.

So I don't want to go through 41 pages, but does installing the Synronik 2 content from a version 1 synth, let's say the 303, also install the same content which was present in the 1 version? Or just the extra version 2 content? In other words, do I need to worry about double sound content all over my drives?

Ah yes you are absolutely right. I stand corrected.

And the answer is yes, it works. Bought 1.5 SE and the kits show up. Don't ask me how, because I have the feeling I have authorized it 3 times, installed it 2 times and had to load the plugin 5 times before anything showed up. I'm having the same problems with Syntronik where everything shows up in Sampletank, not in Syntronik only a couple of downloaded new synths from Syntronik 2. And I have install files all over my drives now. I'm glad for the sale, less glad for the entire process.

This is my question too.

I've heard good things about their plugins, but still, a stereo tool for around €100? Rough maths: Of course the 119.99 voucher places it just ($5) out of reach for the 75 monthly voucher. Which would lead to adding another product, which is an extra 30 (Amek 9099) with currect sale prices. Which would make the total 150, which was the voucherless price in the first place. Subtracting a 75 voucher leaves me with a 90 purchase including tax for CenterOne and Amek 9099. The usual black friday discount for Leapwing is 40% off, so still 120 for 1 plugin. So 120 for 1 plugin or 90 for 2...this seems like a good deal.

*Insert my usual rant about $1000 mics in this age of overprocessing every signal and insert the usual rebuttal by someone who knows more about mics than me.

Interested, The intro clip didn't do much for me, but maybe the walkthrough will persuade me. I like their plugins. In any case I will wait until Black Friday.

Aside from Smasher I don't have much experience with Pulsar. It all seems nice but rather expensive. I already have Acustica Magenta and I believe Native Instruments' Passive EQ is also modeled on the Manley (it sure looks like it) and is developed by Softube. The latter doesn't score that high on the 'accurate emulations' chart, but I like the sound. Haven't had the change to try Magenta that much. I'm interested in the reviews wether or not it is something for my wishlist.

Most of the time I sidechain with a volume envelope like Ducker, LFO tool or Kickstart. It gives me much more control and finetuning. I would say that 90% of the time I would like the sidechain effect to continue even when the kick is gone. So setting it up with a compressor is just more work, it gives volume jumps if you mess up the release, fixed ratios don't give you the control of an envelope and it requires me to use a volume envelope tool anyway. That being said, a must have for some sidechaining jobs is the ability to chose your spectrum or at least a LPF/HPF. Make it dynamic and I will love you forever. Looking at you Trackspacer. ?

Is this some kind of deal I'm too Dutch to get? ? Following your link I can select a $35 coupon. When I log in to my (Dutch) Amazon account, there is no such option.

I'm in the Netherlands and I was about to handdeliver a now molten box of fancy chocolates, when I received a message from my parents that they have a lovely view from their campsite in the south of France.

Yes, one my favorites for that purpose.

Very different thing imo. Yes there is some overlap, but TRK-01 is mainly for combining a kick and bass and pattern making. With the emphasis on 'combining'. That is its strength. Its weakness is imo that is has that very special Native Instruments techno sound. Which is not really to my taste. Also, you have to program patterns which you have to trigger which is not my workflow. There is no 'off' switch, you have to program an empty pattern. Also, no export.

I was wrong, I don't have something like this, at least not in 1 plugin. It seems to be a streamlined lovechild between Kick 2 and D16's Punchbox. The drag drop / import own samples and wav export is great. I'm buying. I'm a sucker for kicks and drums / beats.

I don't know, I feel I have something like this with Sonic Academy / Nicky Romero Kick 2. But seeing Björn Torwellen is involved is very intertesting.

I have an Abyss soundset from them. Great stuff.

Powerhouse on drums.
