Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 "Deals" as in "great prices for interesting plugins", or as in "this deals forum"?
Carl Ewing Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 (edited) About 1 month from the biggest sales season of the year. Patience everyone. Unless you mean this specific forum, in which case, there are many sales forums. Edited October 15, 2024 by Carl Ewing 1

It's getting to the point of buying another SSD or start removing stuff I don't use. Then there's always the option of buying a 12 port powered hub and litter it with external drives. Developers are into drive bloat. Even with games from the W7 era were 8gb and now games come in at 80-100gb. I look at the size of EW Forbidden Planet and think how synth rompers are overrated when it comes to the space they use. I'm amazed with what people do using Spire or Serum. Give NI credit for having their sounds in a compressed format to reduce disk space.

Amberwolf Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 They're not useless, they hold the bits down in the drives so they don't fly off when it spins up. FWIW, the only "deal" I'd love to get ouf of stuff I've found on the many posted websites is Vocalisa on APD, which would be like $40 with the "rewards" they give you for reviewing stuff (even free things, which themselves can give you rewards)....but it requires the full version of Kontakt, and that's $300, which I can't swing or even justify saving for. I really wish they made a version for something like Decentsampler, or the Kontakt Player. Even if they just had the bare samples available with purchase, I could work with that. 💡 I did get a couple of the super-cheap sample-box deals from APD; for $8 there was almost certainly something usable in five+ "libraries", and indeed I did find some I've already used (the voices in TT # Nex Ool, some of the tympani in The Skaergaard Intrusion), and there are quite a few things in there I will end up using even if it's just single percussion hits out of loops, or sound snippets from other loops, etc. So it was worth the $8, saving me probably weeks or even months (over a long time period of making music) on creating those sounds some other way.
