MPE Still didn’t work for me on version 1.0.7 (file date 2/10/2025) a few weeks ago.  My comments are here

MPE aside, I could not live with the UI (mainly lack of contrast and poor DPI scaling), but other eyes may tolerate it.

Thank you for sharing that, Brian. I recalled that you used Soundbox and was co…Read More

I ran a sentiment analysis of Audiomodern Soundbox that analyzed the comments on the major composing, plugin, and gear related online forums and social media groups and indeed found that users have been reporting the MPE issues that you mentioned and that, based on the analysis, Audiomodern’s management has acknowledged that there are MPE problems…Read More

@vst0ne Have you contacted the developer and have you seen others report this issue?

I’m on the road right now, but I’d like to run a sentiment analysis on Soundbox and see if this is something other users are reporting. Sentiment analysis are used brand and marketing strategists; I thought they’d be incredibly useful for consumers researching…Read More

Hi, @rossman. Welcome to the community! You and I have a good deal in common musically. It’s great to have you here and I love learning everyone’s musical story. Thanks for sharing.

Just mentioning that if you ever got Soniccouture – Estey Reed Organ, it appears to qualify for the Kontakt discount. It was free at some point, just can’t remember when.

Those Massive and Massive X presets are the cheapest I ever seen. Defo scoopin Spectrum Quake, and likely Mechanix.

I’m not kidding. Tha…Read More

Trying to plan my budget. Does anyone have an estimate how long this sale will  last?

The extra 10% at Audio Deluxe that brings it’s price in line with Best Service ends tomorrow night. Native Instruments’ Summer of Sound Sale and Best Service corresponding sale prices end on June 30, 2025. I know this…Read More

If you buy the Standard update at Audiodeluxe with the Memorial Day coupon it is like $89 and some change and you get Softube Bad Speaker and Deluxe Bucks. Seemed the best deal to me.

Tangled roots perplex her ways.

One of the fun things I love seeing is when it becomes a game of beat the posted…Read More

Here’s a link to SoundPain’s Duduk library:
Duduk Virtuoso

Not specifically a deal but a wonderful sounding instrument. I was a bit disappointed with their previous 3 Duduks release but this is astonishing and is tempting me very much. The duduk is my very favourite instrument. $50 – haven’t checked the £ price yet

Now, the CEO of 8Dio / SoundPaint once described me to one…Read More

On the “other” site Deals forum, we learned Alicia Keys (piano) was going for $10 at Plugin Boutique.

If you have it, Komplete Standard is only $200 (Kontakt 8, Massive X, Guitar Rig 7 Pro and Battery alone are so worth it).

Now that I have lots more of experience, to me neither Ultimate or Collector are…

If you noticed that the Forums home page has less forums and subforums, last night I removed forums that hadn’t been active in 3 or more weeks from view. Don’t worry, they still exist, and if you have a link, you can still see them. They’re just hidden. I did this because we’re now focused on growing the community and frankly, people are less…Read More

Considering the popularity of Native Instruments and their Komplete bundle with our community, I’m going to sticky this post. The best prices I’ve found are at Best Service, plus you can use your Best Coin to bring down the price even lower (and earn additional Best Coin). As always, if anyone can beat the price post it (so far, JRRShop comes the…Read More

The Musio 1 perpetual license deal ends in 3 days. @goncalol found a surprisingly great deal at JRR shop (I wouldn’t have expected that they would discount so heavily on something that is already heavily discounted; I paid $149 US for Musio 1 and still think that was an amazingly great deal).We have affiliate relationships with Best Service and…Read More

Interesting – thanks Peter – I must admit I won’t even consider Sonar until they put out a perpetual license – that seems to be increasingly unlikely. I’m sticking with Cakewalk until it breaks! I can’t justify a monthly sub or a high purchase price for a perpetual licence and would likely look for cheaper…
