Still waiting for Magenta5.

At least this topic reminded me of using Rhythmiq. Clicketypop aaaaaand I have a cool beat ?

Great! Get all those SSL plugins.

I was looking at that one, but I figured it added nothing really when I have Kontakt libraries like the Vocalise ones from Heavyocity, Mosaic voices, Output Exhale, etc. I went for the Apache Flute. I don't have something like that.

This is bad practice. So having the installers and the serials is not enough. I hope they fix this soon. But I can read a little bit of corporate lingo, and repeating the same generalized message often means "we cannot fix the situation".

I just have their 'boring' plugins, gooddither and canopener. I don't have them activated all the time (depends on the situation of course), but they are a standard on my master bus.

Seems I changed PC's just in time. I did this early january and I could re-install and activate Rythmiq, Regroover and Beatformer just fine. Seems that if was just a couple of months later, I would have lost them? I'm not sure, but is the issue that you get some kind of error when you enter your serial? I still have my serials in my mail (and I save them in a txt file on my PC as well together with the latest install file).

I already have the Diamond lift and can definitely recommend it. I use it all the time on busses and the master.

Funny thing is, I think I got one the ERA5 plugins as a freebie somewhere. And now I've got the entire ERA6 bundle. for free. Nice one.

Well well well, this is a welcome surprise.

Seeing as I forgot to cancel my Pianote subscription this week and got billed a nice $ 197 for a new year, I'm somewhat hestitant to bite. * no disrespect to Pianote though, I like their teaching style and platform. It's a good product for learning to play the piano better than my current skills.

I'm very curious. Luckily I own Abuser and I love that plugin.

Still not cheap and not my favorite player, but I listened to the audio demos and daaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnnnn.

As I'm saving up for some hardware and a new car, I will pass on this. Which also means I won't be using my 75 voucher this month (and probably for the rest of the year, a car is expensive, almost as expensive as new gear haha). Perhaps it is not really useful to someone now with this sale, but you can PM me for the code. First come first serve. Edit: code is gone. Until next month ?

Yeah...I'm not updating just to get some extra unlocked kits in my view. As we say in Dutch "het oog wil ook wat", which translates literally to "the eye also wants something".

And the winner is.... Berlin House Grooves 02 https://www.zenhiser.com/collections/house/products/berlin-house-grooves-02

Ok ok, I stand corrected ? But still, I'M not paying it. I'll slap on Soothe 2, some PA dirt box, reverb and delay, play a fat Moog bass under it and nobody is the wiser I'm here in my untreated livingroom with just a mic reflection shield and a Behringer XM5800. Or better yet, that IK Multimedia measure mic and their Mic room plugin.

I know I'm probably not right and the same could be said about analog synths (but then you would be wrong! ?) Why should I pay $1500 (or a multitude) for a microphone when a $100 Sure mic plus a bit of EQ would give me 95% of the same result? Software EQ's don't cost 1400... Every song out there is heavily produced, compressed, limited, eq'ed, mangled, reverbed and delayed. Surely the nuance difference is hardly noticeable? I think it made sense 50 years ago when the recording was everything. But honestly, pick any populair song with vocals, any. I'll bet it is impossible to hear which microphone was used or even what pricerange. I just don't get mics. Yes to get it right without much processing saves valuable time. But then we circle back to the heavily produced part. That also takes time. So how about an extra 15 minutes setting up an EQ and de-esser? Then you can slap on the 50 reverbs (we know you have them! I do too). No-one will ever know if you recorded it on a Behringer XM5800 or a gold plated Neumann which has only been handled and shipped by a Bavarian virgin who will be ritually sacrificed when the product is delivered, just to keep everything pure.. *rant off

That seems about right. I have a "Z files' folder with incomplete projects, idea sketches, etc. That folder has more than10 times the files than my completed projects. Why Z files? I started with DOS and trackers. So when scrolling through a huge list of files, it was hard keeping track which song I was working on. I named the 'work in progress' files Zx (x= a number). So I could just press pagedown a couple of times to scroll all the way down and I was always at the most recent project. I kept the system when Windows became a thing.

Yes I know, but the amount adds up to be eligible for the freebie.

This is going on the wislist for the next black friday. Maybe this year I will exceed the threshold for the freebie.

If only I was smart enough to check which plugins I already had. I bought all 3 of those, only to find out I too already had Tube Delay. Weirdly it gave a lot of rewards so it balances out, but still. Feels like I wasted €10. So if anyone wants a Tube Delay license for cheap, message me. I haven't used the license.

It gets weirder when you watch the video. All praise. "Fantastic product, amazing, nothing like it, my go to for x, I always use it for...aaaaand it's not up to our standards so bye!" Price still seems pretty up much to their standards, even with 50% off. Make it 75-80% off and I will consider buying such an inferior product.
