kitekrazy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Trying RX7 on an album recording that is not available in CD. It was one of those summer projects spending hours removing all of the clicks in Soundforge. Does anyone use RX7 through their monitors or use PC speakers?

Dilettnate: a person who cultivates an area of interest, such as the arts, without real commitment or knowledge. And how many of us around here falls into that category!? : ) It's a very narrow definition though. That one's relationship with an area of interest or a domain of knowledge or skill is that of an amateur does not necessarily mean they lack "real" commitment or knowledge - it could merely indicate lack of formal education and professionalism. An amateur was originally somebody who delved into things out of love (literally), and perhaps most renaissance polymaths would identify more as being all-around amateurs as opposed to the single-minded narrow sector professionals of our time. The depth and breadth of our knowledge was that much humbler back then too, that "mastering" various different fields wasn't as gargantuan an effort as it would be today. The line between an amateur and a professional was likely rather arbitrary too, aside from certificates, recommendations and inherited baseline wealth. I think there is a useful distinction that can be made between a casual dabbler and an "amateur/dilettante" who is passionate about and self-learned in something where their activity is not rewarded with money, but personal fulfillment. I suspect the answer to your question is "quite a few"..! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Cormier Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Jumped on the upgrade from Neutron Advanced 2 for $125. I see Neutron loading faster, lower CPU hit, and a few new bells & whistles. Plus all the other goodness in MPS. I swear I think it sounds better than Neutron 2, but I'll make myself believe ANYTHING after hitting the Pay Now button. But I think it's for real this time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) This is a purchase you won't regret...ever! If I could only have ONE plugin (which is actually a set) it would be Ozone 8 Advanced! I could do without EVERYTHING ELSE I own, and would be able to do just about everything with it! That ALONE is worth the price...everything else is "icing on the cake (walk - see what I did there!)"! Edited August 7, 2019 by cclarry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cormier Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yep - so far I love it. Haven't even gotten past Ozone and Neutron, but I'm really tempted to use a sick day to help speed things up! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Nectar 2 was a very good vocal effects pack launched in 2011 or so, and Nectar 3 is its first update after many years. Definitely worthwhile, also because of its integration with Neutron 3 and Vocalsynth 2. And it includes third party Celemony Melodyne Essentials 4 for elementary pitch changes, costing $99 on its own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) It says from ANY Advanced product, so I believe it would apply - JRR says iZotope Music Production Suite 2.1 Upgrade from Any Advanced Product Price is $125.16 with code GROUPhttps://www.jrrshop.com/izotope-music-productionsuite-upgrade-advanced Edited August 7, 2019 by cclarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yep, as long as it’s stated that way it should work. I did the same from Ozone 6 Advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarine Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It'll all go on a sale again, it'll be discounted, you can get it cheap... Again and again. If you wonder what is all the fuss about, consider the possibility that the answer is "nothing". You're not a squirrel, winter is not coming, and iZotope's Music Production Suite is not the most enormous mountain of nuts you've ever seen. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cormier Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) No, but it's a much cheaper mountain of nuts today, vs. waiting for a (maybe) relatively cheaper mountain of nuts months later. Honestly, for the price (and for what I paid for Neutron 2 Advanced second-hand), I'd do it again. And again. In fact, this will replace a mountain of cheap (formerly expensive) plugins I paid peanuts for in the last year. Totally get your point, though. The Waves $29 phenomenon is probably just one of the tipping points (along with the movement to subscription) we get to witness these days.

I have to admit Neutron 3 Advanced is really interesting. I haven't gotten around to all the other goodies in the bundle.

Most make the mistake of not realizing Ozone is for the mastering side and throw them on every track and think CPU hog. Mastering plugins are not made to run at 1.5 ms on a modest system.
