fretman replied to the topic What are the BEST/WORST sample library & plugin purchases you've made & why? in the forum The Sounding Board
What an interesting topic! I made a spreadsheet of all the sample libraries I have so I can quickly search for the type of instrument I’m looking for and then see what my options are. Right now I’m up to 1120 VI’s but I’m sure there’s more since I sometimes don’t split bundles up into their components. It also allows me to color-code them as I…Read More

What if you already have all their other plugins? Has anyone found out if you can bank the freebie until their next plugin comes out?

fretman replied to the topic What is Your Go-To Tape Saturation Plugin? in the forum Virtual Effects
I don’t use tape saturation very often but when I do I use Izotope’s Neutron 4. I’d love to move up to Neutron 5 but their pricing structure hasn’t been very good since they’ve joined NI.

Not seeing much of a sale here.
fretman replied to the topic The Long-Term Cost of DAWs Compared in the forum Analysis of Developers / Markets / DAWs / Plugins / Sample Libraries
I’m a little confused. Studio One is listed as $262-$300 with a comment that it’s available for $139-$160. Is one the initial price and the other the price for major updates?
fretman replied to the topic What was responsible for you deciding to learn a musical instrument? in the forum Conversation Starters
It was my first dance in 7th grade. The girls were over there and the boys were over here, in front of the band. The lead guitarist had a sparkly turquoise Fender-ish guitar that I thought was the coolest thing ever. I few months later, for my birthday I got a $25 Masonite Kay archtop with very poor action and started taking guitar lessons from…Read More

Not to be confused with the waves.com product.
I don’t use loops or clips. Would a product like this be any benefit to me? I’m not seeing it.

Seems to be mainly for sound design. As best I can tell these no legato and no tremolo.

fretman replied to the topic SampleTank 4 for $19.99 + UVI Relayer FREE! in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I never got along with ST4 for some reason. Other than that, I find myself usually unimpressed by VIs with all-encompassing content. They have lots of instruments but they’re all shallow. No depth and only good for adding some background/nuanced texture or for sound design. Most of my mixes attempt to be realistic and are sparse, so everything is…Read More
fretman replied to the topic iZotope Ozone 12 INTRO SALE – Extra Discount w/ Code in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals

Been disappointed with iZotope’s pricing ever since their acquisition. This would cost me $169 to upgrade. I don’t think I need any of the new features.
My MSP upgrade (which also updates me to Neutron 5) is $293.
These just don’t seem worth it to me.
fretman replied to the topic What Is Your Absolute Go-To Physical and Virtual Gear? in the forum Samplers, Sample Players & Sample Libraries
What a great thread! I love reading why people use what they do.
My context: I usually try to replicate real acoustic/folk music so I don’t really use off-the-wall FX and stuff, although I still seem to collect them just-in-case. I have a poor recording space so I almost always use VIs, although I try very hard to make my music sound like real…Read More
