Your 2020 best purchase ?

[Zo]

Ok just for fun , what was your best 2020 purchase (and why ) , try to choose only one ...

[InstrEd]

If only one I would have to say upgrading to Pianoteq 7 Pro-version from the standard version.

I refuse to answer on the grounds of the basis that it might incriminate me...

[Matthew Sorrels]

Honestly:
Sabrent 4TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-4TB)

And now I'm considering filling my second NVMe slot with this:

Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3300/2900MB/s (SB-RKTQ-8TB)

Wow I just looked up the price of that beast.

toontrack legacy of rock - the best drum library I have ever used!!!!

Scaler 2 update from Scaler 1.  Great value which has seen more updates.

No other plug-in or gear purchase has made me want to create music like that one has.  

Lots of other cool sound manipulation tools but nothing has held a candle to Scaler for inspiration and just wanting to create something.

Easy, Boss SY-1000

Melodyne 5 Assistant!   ...and Studio One Pro 5 upgrade.  Why? I've NEVER seen either of those cheaper than what Larsey pointed us to!  Sorry, I can't pick just one.  And thanks again Lars!

In terms of bang for the buck it was a recent lump of rob papen purchases with cascaded discounts by way of loyalty cash at time&space.

Only had punch2 from RP, but bought Go2 for £15 then added Blade 2 and blue 2 (by way of sound design-x upgrade bundle) for £30.   So £45 for the 3 and I still have some loyalty cash to play with.

They all bring something interesting to the table.

I would love to add a 4tb NVMe to my Lenovo ExtremeX1. It’s my understanding though that the slot only accepts “single sided” drives, while the Rockets are double -sided. Unfortunately, I know of no single sided 4tb NVMe .....although I have fingers crossed that someone will come out with one . I currently have a 2tb in that slot.

Presonus Sphere. 

I know a lot  people don't like subscriptions but I am quite pleased with this, Studio One, Notion and a bunch of extras.

[Pragi]

The best value for the money  I have bought  is the Nux mg 300 which is imo smoking every plugin like Amplitube or Guitar Rig.

Probably the Izotope Music Production Suite 4 license transfer I got off a guy on kvr for $188.

Lol it made me feel a bit bad for this dude I saw on Facebook posting about how proud he was for scoring MPS4 for $500, down from $1000. It was a reminder that a lot of folks still don't know about the great deals you can get even just from JRR and Everyplugin et al, let alone the crazy private deals that can be had on kvr. I'm talking about the guys who are still buying their plugins from Sweetwater, paying full price PLUS tax.

our plugin geekdom pays off.. big f'n time

An Apogee AD16x (if it ever gets here).

Mat , the problem is that then you will want to fullfill them.....

No wonder i can t sell my izotope stuff on kvr with prices like that around ...

[Craig Fowler]

Vsl Yamaha Cfx.

I bought a lot of piano VIs this year, and most have been very good-to-excellent. This one's so wonderful to play, though, that I'm getting back into proper practicing routines. I'm doing a lot less recording, but am really loving playing and have dusted off sheet music I gave up on 20 years ago!

And... it's on sale this month!
