paulo Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Having spent some more time today with the demo of CE I'm still struggling to find a reason to buy something cheap that I don't really want just to get it "free". Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? I guess it depends how you look at it. If you’d jump at the chance to get Carbon Electra for $5, why not buy something you won’t use for $5 to get Carbon Elektra for free?

Am I missing something? Hi paulo, here is my opinion: You are not missing anything. You did your "homework" and demoed it.If it does not add anything useful to your music production, then do not get it. 1

Figured that I'd give it a second look, but came to the same conclusion.

aidan o driscoll Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 There is this as something to get and then Carbon electra FREE along with it: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/58-Inst-Bundle/7218-ImPerfect-Expansions-Bundle ImPerfect & Expansions Bundle - $16 "You can now get ImPerfect along with all expansion packs, giving you ImPerfect with a huge amount of brand new additional presets, in one unique package."
abacab Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) If you are dying to pickup a good virtual analog synth this weekend, I would instead hop on over to Waves and pick up Element 2 for $29. https://www.waves.com/plugins/element#future-trap-bass-element-synth-tutorial Deal ends this weekend! I picked that one up on sale a while back, and it's now among my top 3 virtual analogs! Edited January 24, 2021 by abacab

Have you actually tried it? The expansions are not in the demo, so I can't say anything about them, but the demo version itself really doesn't have much going for it. The only thing I liked was how easy it was to mix in a little white/pink noise which was just as well as it needed that to improve most of the sounds a little. If anyone else tries it, be aware that the default volume setting for most presets is louder than hell.

I decided to use my rewards and get Serum. Usually with the PB freebies I prefer to buy something I will actually use.

Just spotted it as a way of getting Carbon Electra and getting another synth into the bargain. Lots of expansions so better value again. Possibly worth a punt for both for princely sum of $16
