Darn.I was hoping that they’d have something I really wanted in this sale. They really focus hard on metal, and seem to do a great job with it. But as a rock guy, I didn’t find the EZXs in the sale very appealing. @pseudopop knows why I didn’t find today’s EZX of interest (I sold him my license for Funkmaster’s last night month).

Hopefully,…Read More

@bluescat and @fleer When you guys get it, please post your thoughts. As hard as it is for me to do for a Wurly, I’m not going to get it until I see a killer deal.

1. Keith Emerson – While Emerson’s chops were clearly rooted in classical piano, he was clearly a genius rock keybardist. d.

2. Rick Wakeman – Yes, Elton John, David Bowie, solo, The Srawbs, Cat Stevens… I saw Rick with his solo band twice. He is a rock keyboardist master.

3. David Sancious – He is as tasteful as it gets. He has the ability to…Read More

I can’t even create an account.

What’s the problem?

It appears that this is a restructuring of the company’s debt, basically like the US equivalent of a Chapt 11. Do you know anything more, @Bapu? I’d hate to see them go under.

I LOVE the Hofner 500/1 bass (of course, that’s due to growing up a huge fan of Paul McCartney and The Beatles). It has an absolutely beautiful tone. I’m guessing that you…Read More

Great deal.  I got the Charango a while back and it is certainly worth the $9 by itself.

Thanks for weighing in (AKA enabling my sample library hoarding!), @bluescat. That’s good enough for me for $9! I have contemplated buying this developer’s libraries before, as the demos sound really good to my…Read More

I pinned this thread and added the free Synthmaster One freebie to the Best 2025 Holiday Deals and Freebies Roundup thread. I own all of the Synthmaster synths and highly recommend them. I especially love Synthmaster 3.

Years of speech therapy as a kid and still, it sounds like I sang, “lead me to your DAW.”

Well, just know that the idea of time-limited email alerts is just an idea I have. It would not be easy to execute. But the daily email digest is coming soon. As far as subscribing to email alerts as they are today, you just need to go to the top of any thread you want to subscribe to and press subscribe or you can go to the top level of the deals…Read More

Hi @swijaya. Your post made me think about something I’ve contemplated since I first built the site. I would greatly appreciate your honest thoughts on an idea I have — whether or not you would find this feature I’m proposing useful or not.

Right now, email alerts were sent out for this deal to everyone who subscribes to the Deals Forum right…Read More

I think you know @pseudopop that SD3 is my go-to for acoustic drum samples. But Toontrack rarely has the SDXs that interest me on deep discounts like this. Rock Warehouse SDX is one that I have been interested in. I don’t recall my take on the two Roots SDXs — I need to check those out. I already own Custom & Vintage, which I find kind of meh…Read More

• Grand Piano: Orange Tree Samples Evolution Rosewood Grand
  While I came up with the question, this is a really difficult one for me to answer, because I own a lot of piano sample libraries and plugins. I love NI Noire for gentle music and especially for its felt piano samples. However, it isn’t great at cutting through loud rock band…

I’ve followed this guy for years and he seems like a really good fellow.  The video is very clever and worth watching even if you don’t download the bells.

I agree with you. Around the same time — and through Pianobook — I came across him and the developer behind Decent Sampler, David Hilowitz, and…Read More
