I downloaded the Vox Continental demo last night, and had a lot of retro-music fun with it.  I'm not even a keyboard player!  I'm considering the V-Collection 8 --  it looks like a nice collection for a wide range recording projects.  Hopefully the other instruments in the collection are just as good.  I'm still rationalizing the expenditure!

Yes, V-Collection 8 certainly is a wide range of useful keyboard instruments, and not just synths! Acoustic and electric pianos, organs, mellotron, clavinet ...

Having poked around in the Fx Collection a bit now... I would put this $99 deal right up there with the IK group buy. You get a lot of very nice plugins for that price! Very happy.

[abacab]

I have the $69 offer, and that looks like a great deal, but I already have 3 of the FX from FX Collection 2 > Mini Filter, Chorus Jun-6, and Rev PLATE-140. They are good!

But I think that by already having IK T-RackS 5 MAX, the rest of the FX Collection appear to be mostly duplicates for me. I could be mistaken, so open to opinions!

[RSMcGuitar]

All I can really say is, you have 3 of 22 plugins.

They are very nice indeed.

[abacab]

I probably already have all the plugins I will ever need ... said no one ever... ?

So i bought the V collection because it was on my wishlist. I thought I didn't need the FX collection (als because I got most IK items in the group buy). Buuuuttttt, now they make it €69 to upgrade. Since I dropped a product from my Black Friday wishlist for around that price, I think I HAVE to do it. 20 new (for me) products is € 3,45 a piece.

I will wait however, as there are always other unforseen deals and it seems a lot of these are duplicates of plugins I already own and don't use that much.

I have the modulation bundle. They are nice plugins, but to be honest, i dont use them enough. IMHO, the Arturia FX sound and work different than IKM. But I agree. now that I have all the IKM Tracks stuff and MixBox, and tend to use that a lot, I am on the fence on this. Are you gonna collect FX cause you use them or cause they are pretty? I find these Arturai FX to be a competitor to maybe Black Rooster?

I guess that is where I am at. I think I'm only going to buy stuff that I plan to use, not just because it is available for an all-time low price.

Unless it's free, and the hard drive space isn't an issue!

We could all use therapy but it actually cost way more then just buying the plugins!  So what the heck go ahead and spent the $$.  It is way cheaper in the long run

Well if you ever stop buying plugins, maybe you could save up for that keyboard that you want! ?

My problem is I want to try a few and Samash who use to have a nice display of them is getting just as bad as Guitar Center in not stocking them in store.  

But you are right I was going to get one last month but then I ponied up $$ for Kontakt 6 ?

Nah, the only one who ever benefits from therapy is the therapist. ($$$$$$)

If you have any problems, I can solve them all for you for free.

Yes. really.

 

Go ahead, try me........

Great decision!

You will get a lot from Kontakt 6. Like the endless opportunity to buy more sound libraries! ?
