A little bonus: any Plugin that costs less than $15 is now free when you buy $29.99 or more.
Just add it to the cart | Can use multiple times | No prices altered prior! | Offer can change | Free plugins, hence no bundles, libs etc.

Less than $15. 
This just means all Plug & Mix plugins are free. Used to be $50 for the lot so that’s that. All other plugins are $15 or more, starting with the MasteringTheMix ones.
Better luck next time, I guess.

What in the world were the Don't Crack Plug & Mix guys thinking when they named a plugin "Vibrator"???

Seriously folks, don't search Google or any other search engines -- unless you have safety settings on -- for reviews on it unless you're prepared for finding a lot of undesired results and ads. Plugins + vibrator is a combination that guarantees a search engine will NOT think you're looking for a VST plugin (yes even with semantics, it's impossible to discern that query is for a VST plugin). In the digital age, that was an off the charts, fantastically dumb idea, that was, no doubt, rooted in someone thinking it was clever. 

If I died tonight, my kids would see a Google search for "plug and mix vibrator reviews" and knobcloud.com (a site where people resell plugins and sample libraries) in my browser history and might think dad had a secret life  (in reality I don't). Neither of those things are what they appear to be. Let's try to push developers towards better naming practices. There should not be a Plug & Mix Vibrator nor a Knobcloud. There were unlimited alternative names these folks could have chosen; instead, they chose poorly.

This is definitely AI! 😆 In the last years I've experienced that the results of the Google search engine get worse and worse! It doesn't matter what you enter, there is always some kind of anticipation that is completely wrong for me in many cases!

Don't die the night before Father's day! 😄

While Google has used AI for around a decade, those keywords being classified as adult products actually would have been MUCH worse pre-AI. Google has been using AI to process search results for around a decade, and it's responsible for vastly more accurate results and an understanding of semantics that would never be otherwise possible. I just did pretty much the same search on my desktop -- when I did the earlier search it was on my phone  -- that was profoundly obscene, but on the desktop, Google has done a much better job of discerning that this is a search for a virtual instrument (even with Safe Search off). Part of how they can discern that is from the user's history of past searches. In my case, I've done a ton of searching for virtual instruments that include keywords like "plugin," "vst" and "reviews." But, when I was on my phone, I may have been in Incognito mode so that my search results aren't personalized when I'm checking searches related to my business, Google's Safe Search was off and the results were profoundly obscene to the point it was worse than I expected. 

And don't think that I'm the world's greatest AI proponent (although I do use it daily and wrote a pretty thorough piece on its use in the marketing profession earlier this year),  Early this year, I learned that ChatGPT had been telling users I died. It took several months of reaching out to the OpenAI folks to finally get that changed. Just a partial except: 

"..Unfortunately, Peter {last name]  passed away...Despite his untimely death, his contributions to the field of marketing continue to be remembered and appreciated by professionals in the industry."

On one hand, it's a lovely sentiment -- and the situation definitely has humor value.  On the other hand, it's telling the world I'm dead and considering that I run and own a business with clients and readers around the world, it's not great for business for people to think I'm dead. Anyhow, a few weeks ago, I became undead in the world of ChatGPT. 

@Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann I am trying not to die.  Check out the above story to understand why my sense of humor goes to that lately.  ChatGPT has been telling people I've been dead for at least half a year that I know of.

Don't forget about the developer named Pornofonic.

So how do we know that you are not really still dead and it is not AI posing as you?

...I'm way more concerned with kids being inundated with corporate advertising and military propaganda throughout their childhood than the silly innocuous titles of audio plugins. I'm convinced the current prudishness of Western culture is a moral defense mechanism to make up for trillion dollar military budgets and the killing of millions of poor people with illegal wars and sanctions the last 50+ years. "We are a moral people. Ignore the million dead Iraqis, we protected Timmy from seeing the word vibrator."  😆

I'm doing my part!

 

I'm not worried about it or offended. I just find the naming idea not just sophomoric,  but profoundly stupid. I'm not sure about your leveraging it for a political rant.  I think we're best staying focused on music related topics than using the forum to espouse political views.

I use less cliches, my sense of humor is pretty good (says me!) and my math skills are a bit better than AI.  AI is terrible at originality, humor, and math.  But it's only a matter of time before it nails math.
