By the time BF comes along, the normal price will be $149. So if it is included in a 30% off BF sale, the price will be a little more than the $99 intro price. But I don't think you will be able to get the $49 upgrade after this initial offer.

In my opinion, Maxime Luft of Organic Samples is one of the most gifted creators of virtual instrument libraries working today. He's very young, he's a prodigy, but I think in time he will be seen as on the level of a Tarilonte. Obviously OT thinks that too or they wouldn't have bought his company. Maxime and Ben Osterhouse are the exciting new generation. (Ben has a new library out too--did anybody list it here?) I need another piano like a hole in the head, but this sounds so beautiful. My go-to for a Yamaha is Keyscape and I just might like this better. The deal of 127 euros for all of his libraries is pretty amazing, considering it includes this, his Tableau strings (120 euros) and my favorite solo vocal library Solo Opera (59 euros), another vocal library featuring the same singer as Solo Opera, and the amazing. Majestic Horn (2 euros). Good stuff. EDIT: That is my upgrade price. The actual price for the set is 199 euros.

Thanks Peter!

This is one of my favorite UVI products and this sounds like an excellent upgrade for $49. I look forward to getting on the site. On another topic, there is usually a UVI 30% off store-wide sale during Black Friday.

I was reading Electronic Musician back in the 1980s. I don't know if it ever stopped publication.

Is the issue out on Zinio yet? I think 179 is the 12-20 issue.

In terms of quantity of stuff, AmpliTube 4 MAX has more stuff than Amplitube 5 and and AmpliTube 5 SE, except for the 12 extra rack effects and the 4 extra rooms in regular 5. Am I right about this? Maybe the numbers don't tell the whole story--perhaps the rack effects have changed. The video says "19 new effects racks." What I want to explore is what the 19 new effects racks are. Apparently they all look like MixBus now. As I plan to get MixBus someday and a lot of them are just cutdown versions of T-RackS... going from SE to full 5 might come down to two more rooms. I'm wondering if 5 SE might be enough. But I suppose many presets will only work if you have 5. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

I have often heard on places like VI:Control that the ARP2600 is the best thing SONiVOX sells, and that the whole package is worth it for this alone. I don't think that SONiVOX made it, actually. I heard they licensed it from somebody else. Not a lot of the 2600s look so much like the real one, with patch cords, etc, like this one. But I don't have it, so I don't know what it sounds like. In terms of the package, SONiVOX, there are some real gems in there, like Atsia Percussion and Silk Road Percussion. I've heard great things about their Strat. Big Bang is pretty good but has bugs, etc. The orchestral stuff is excellent, only lacking in legato. Very good for layering in with other libraries. The issue really is that so many of these go on sale separately for practically nothing, so it may be best to just get the ones you want. I have seen the Singles for as low as $3. So it's easy just to buy the ones you want. Back in 2016/2017 the strings went for $1. ?

I think they are VSTs. ujam did make some REs, but they were rebranded. But if things go like last year, everything will be 50% off in the ujam store during BF, plus a couple of other special flash sales in discount stores. Hustle went for $9.95 and Solid 2 was 75% off. Personally I'm going to wait...

Wow, Beatmakers are $19!

Also, for $40 bucks more you can get the entire SONiVOX Premier Collection. ? ttps://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/58-Inst-Bundle/2700-Premier-Collection

Hah! I love Strats but mine is a cheapie and pretty bad. I think I paid around a $150 bucks for it. Too much. That said, it is better than I described it. I often use it for other songs than LOUIE LOUIE. I often mix it in my music to give a hint of realism to my virtual guitars

I love GLORIA as much as I love LOUIE LOUIE and it is as much an important part of my youth, but I don't know what I can come up with. Maybe I'll think of something someday. Anyway, I take my position as a YouTube non-influencer seriously and I think I should look for something else that could use the power boost from my less than 300 subscribers. GLORIA doesn't need the massive publicity push it would get from a Tiger recommendation.

After all these threads I've read here and on VI:Control, I'm still confused. I have Amplitube 4 MAX and the extra expansions from Total Studio 2. I'm hoping belief that if I buy Amplitube 5 regular I will get a new program with a new serial. It will include all the sounds I have licenses for in their new incarnations. It will have everything in AmpliTube 5 MAX except for Satch and Dimebag and all the other ones I don't own. I think SE won't do that. Hopefully @Peter - IK Multimedia can clear that up for me as that sounds fine to me. If Total Studio 3 works like TS2, it will include AmpliTube 5 MAX plus any expansions that come out between now and the time of its release.

It was not a debate in my high school garage band. We knew it was dirty.

One of the important parts of my video was for me to not know a single thing about LOUIE LOUIE when I made it. I needed to keep my mind blank, which is where it normally is anyway.

I would not deign to follow in the path of the great Beato. That would be like fofllowing Larry. There can only be one Mighty King!

I feel like I have covered the history of awesomeness in music, so my next one will be about the most awesome movie.

LOUIE LOUIE is universally considered the most awesome song of all time. But why? In this video, I do a deep dive on the granular level into the myriad reasons LOUIE LOUIE has no peer in the awesomeness department. Even if you have no knowledge at all of music theory or of music or of theory, I promise you will learn a lot from my probing analysis. PS I used EZBass for the first time for the theme song. It was super EZ to use.

Scoring Guitars II was on my list for Black Friday, but I jumped on this instead. It seems a lot more powerful and customizable and the sounds of Scoring Guitars are overly familiar by now. The NKS implementation is far superior. Very clear and helpful. I had a lot of points at PluginBoutique so I got it there. I really haven't bought much since August, but I don't feel like this was a GAS purchase because I was looking for something exactly like this. It is true that a lot of AudioModern products regularly go on sale, but not all of them. The original Opacity is currently $89 base price in the APD shop and I paid about $70 for this. The original is still on sale everywhere for $99, and I expect that will remain, as it has different performances. While anything can turn up with a huge markdown in APD or VSTBuzz or elsewhere, it's doubtful that a new product like this will for awhile, particularly when there is a previous version available. That's the one most likely to be on sale. In the meantime, I'll have fun with it. Everything goes on sale eventually, right? And if I like this, I might pick up the original Opacity too someday.

FYI, the Finisher was created as part of Carbon. AFAIK it was just supposed to be a component of Carbon. The customer base liked it so much that they asked ujam to make a Finisher effect.

But if you have Total Studio 2, you already have Fender Collection 2, SVX2, and the Fulltone Collection, which aren't in the old Amplitube.

One more thing... The basses, the beatmakers, and the drums are all at version 2.0 The guitars are still 1.0 and have been out for a long time--and are older than the basses--so they are due for an update. That will include more patterns and I have no doubt, an onboard Finisher, and other goodies. So if you get Sparkle now, you will have to pay an upgrade price at some oint . Usually they aren't much, but you should know that.
