It breaks down to less than $10 a plug...so that's a pretty good deal! Have you already used the Survey Voucher? That would get you another $5 off!

Bad Penguin Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I don't understand PA pricing, but they're selling the VSM-3 by itself for $69 (-$20) . . . although I've heard at times it could be had for $29 Already used survey voucher, thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they run a Mega Sales, not every plugin hits the lowest ever price. I imagine part of this is to minimize some of the compound discounting and those that have the $250 voucher from a subscription. It is true VSM-3 on its own has been cheaper. It is a cool plugin. I'd say run a demo of it (and also run a demo of MSaturator from melda and mess wit the 2nd and 3rd harmonics). It is surprising how much of that kind of sound/effect you can get for free. And if you happen to have MSaturator MB you can get even more of the way there becuase it allows you to target parts of the frequency like VSM-3 does. But as someone that has all of those, I do still use VSM-3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 A bit PA weary….and a bit weary of spending money. Took the Rat and DS-1 emulations for free…and I’m out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudopop Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Looks like you can't use the survey voucher and the $20 sale voucher at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiedler Audio Stage or Elysia mpressor, probably. Have both (and think both are good). The Fiedler seems like the more unique tool of the two. Mpressor needs a resizable update, IMO. Chances are we will have a code reset in the next couple days...so there is also that... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locrian Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I picked up Wedge Force Matcha for $9.99 and would like to move the samples folder off my system drive. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried renaming the folder hoping it would force a pop-up dialog box asking me to locate the folder, but no luck.

Yeah, I think the code is usually reset three times. So I'll probably end up grabbing both + something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it this morning and spent the time to find the files to delete it from my HD altogether. Only PA plugin I've tried so far that I thought was basically useless.

Without any FX, it produces a toy guitar sound. But the amp sims I've tried turn it into something useful; esp in a busy mix where I don't want a full-sounding voice. I use EZKeys in the same way; to my ears they sound awful, but in a busy mix they often fit right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeslty found the sound deplorable. EZKeys I can at least get something usable out of. (though tend to run it as an engine to run another vst) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my ears all the PA amp sims I have are deplorably harsh-sounding (even on my [real] strat). I'm glad they were all freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my ears all the PA amp sims I have are deplorably harsh-sounding (even on my [real] strat). I'm glad they were all freebies. I found some of the old PA ENGL amps unusable, but they have others such as the Train II which has a level of realism I find lacking in the AT5 package (I own all of them). Though they are absolutly usable in the context of a mix too. The smooth filter as well as EQ in post can help some of the harshness. AT5 can have that nice processed sound out of the gate which limits the highs and harshness. The PA stuff sounds a bit more like a recording chain where you get the amp and the gear captured. And AT5 would get more use if they can optimize the resources, it is a massive hog compared to the PA suite, insane for something many of us need to be zero latency, real time in the context of a project (not just stand alone) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
