Good idea. I copied the link from here https://www.audiopluginguy.com/deals/

I guess they make money by using affiliate links.

[Rational]

Bought it. Thanks.

I always feel "wrong" about these plugins as I'm a guitarist and can most likely play all the stuff contained in the box myself. Same time...a tenner plus a freebie in to the bargain. Hmm

[Soundwise]

I don't need another Silk, but Antares Choir freebie looks interesting. Any first hand experience with it? Anyone?

[mibby]

The Antares Choir was a freebie a few years ago but the installation was a PITA and I didn't even get it installed. I have way too many plugins that do the same, so I moved on. . It may sound decent, but I'll never know.

I skipped the choir freebie but took the mutator freebie . Choir didn't seem worthy . If u  have brought all the rest freebie I suggest buying it from audiodeluxe to get the traction lead freebie

Is Antares Mutator also a freebie or do you mean DAWLove?

Dawsome LOVE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Antaras choir

i grabbed Mutator through autotune unlimited trail in antaras website

[kitekrazy]

The Drumsynth is the only one that isn't meh.  It's not one of those old AIR products.   I have it but avoid if you are anti iLok.

@satya Don't all those Autotune Unlimited plugins die when you cancel the trial?

And if you have issues using their monolith installer - Auto-Tune Central .
I got the Antares Choir freebie with purchase but passed (at least for now) when I found that out.

Same here.  I doubt I will install the Antares.  Loopcloud for a month probably involves information you don't want to give.

[kitekrazy]

Silk 2 is probably around the corner?   If you are a VSt3 only user there is no version of that.

Also lots of complaints on Anteras billing issues on their subscriptions i.e. double charging, not honoring cancelations, etc.. 
Edit: Just noticed that that complaint thread is 2 years old.

That is why I avoid software subs.   Too many hoops to jump through.

I thought for this price, can’t go wrong. Thought I’d listen to some demos first though - maybe I’m spoiled by my Orange Tree nylon guitar samples, but I just didn’t think the Ujam one sounded very good by comparison. And for these sort of auto-accompaniment type plugins I prefer the sound of NI’s Session Guitarist picked nylon. Others may disagree!

Never put a Sub on a credit card. Always use PayPal. When you cancel Sub, cancel auto payment agreement in PayPal as well. Problem solver, no more surprises!

UJAM is aimed at very different users than Orange Tree Samples. UJAM targets hobbyists -- a younger demographic-- who are looking for instant gratification and are not as concerned with creating their own custom parts. In short, you can fairly say that UJAM targets hobbyist users satisfied to use loops and Orange Tree Samples targets advanced amateurs and pros who prefer to play and create their own unique progressions, strumming patterns,  licks, riffs, etc. OTS has a far higher bar for sample instrument realism than UJAM. 

UJAM Virtual Guitarist line uses loops of strums, so there's no way for a user to make custom or customized patterns. Personally,  for the loop-based approach, I think Native Instruments Session Guitarist line is the best option of the two (UJAM vs SG).  But this deal is 10 bucks, so it feels like an unfair comparison at that price point (while it's not at its regular price).

DISCLOSURE: I have consulted to OTS, Pettinhouse, SonicCouture, 8Dio, Kirk Hunter Studios and many other sample and plugin developers in past years on branding, product development and marketing strategy. I haven't done paid consulting to OTS in more than a decade, so this disclosure is probably unnecessary,  but I  want to be as transparent as possible.
