A huge chunk of the Black Eyed Peas catalog qualifies.  Which is not surprising when you consider the original title of “Let’s Get It Started” (replace “It Started” with a rhyming slur for mentally disabled people which the forum won’t let me post here).

Good point. I forgot about that one. That is…Read More

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?

It was an error on my part when I was cutting and pasting over from a draft I was working on where I was going to do som…Read More

might be worthwhile to expand the table to clearly show the costs including:

1. purchase price for “perpetual license”
2. monthly subscription price(s) – DAW vs truly optional component and services
3. annual “maintenance / support fee” (if any)
4. version “upgrade fee” (if any)

for example, Stud…

Lovely, Patrick! Very nice.

I couldn’t resist that price of Shimmerverb at $15 with the coupon. Great plugin and I will use it a lot. Just wish the reverb in it was more diffuse as in NI Replika XT.

IK Multimedia Tape Machine 24

Or Neold Warble.

I have the ame preset in both 😀

My favorite Roland RE-201 emulation.

I think it’s hitting me harder because of my tendency to be long-winded. Not putting myself down, I just like to write, so I do. My replies can turn into articles/editorials. And I love talking about my favorite gear.

Hmm, there’s another guy here like that. I can’t recall his name right now, but I…Read More

It’s lovely, @nickblanc. Very melodic and easy to get lost in. As usual, Inge’s voice sounds wonderful on it. I have one (silly) question: I saw an acoustic guitar in the video. Is that going to be played in an upcoming song, and if so, is it yours or Inge’s guitar?

Someone just made an incredibly toxic, inflammatory post violating the community standards, accusing me of doing marketing research for Plugin Boutique. Nope. I do not advise Plugin Botuqie. As I’ve clearly stated all over this site and shared in numerous posts, I am in Plugin Boutique’s (APD, Best Service, and a few other) affiliate programs to…Read More

I must be missing something. I know this is supposed to be legendary but none of the sound examples really appeal to me. Maybe I need to hear this in some sort of context?

Vangelis music used in the Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series. I received the complete VHS collection as a 15th birthday gift. “Alpha” touched my soul very deeply. I changed.

@Thor I remember you and I DMing about SSL Drumstrip and maybe VocalStrip2 a couple of years ago. Do you own one or both of these? If so, what’s your opinion? I know you’ve spoken very highly of SSL plugins in the past. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen these go this cheap.

When I was posting about the updated free Convology XT convolution reverb today, it occurred to me that Wave Arts Tube Saturator Vintage wasn’t on our list. That was definitely an oversight on my part. It is an excellent tube saturator. I was looking up reviews and what well known folks have said about it and the BPB guys said:”…Tube Saturator…Read More

Amazing price for an amazing plugin, one of my all-time favorites

This is my “i need” list 😀

You saw it here first! 🙂

It looks like you’ve got my favorites on there that jumped to mind, except I don’t see Isol8 by TBPro Audio.

Here is their page of freebies. The Gear Space clipper (GSat) is excellent too. It’s a little “fiddly” if you just want to clip and move on, but it ha…

I feel your pain @superabbit – It IS happening to others. Just happened to me a couple days ago.  There must be a bug in the parser whereby it is not properly sanitizing the input.  The “faulty” post doesn’t go to moderation, it just disappears.  After it happens to me I will copy my future posts into…

@nitrateaudio, I don’t have it – because I prefer D16

RIP, Keith John Moon August 23, 1946 – September 7, 1978.

It was hearing the Who’s Next album that made me decide that I was born to play drums (I had been taking piano lessons and playing drums in my family band as a little boy, but it was hearing Moon on that album that made me want to stop everything and go find a drum kit and play). Of cou…Read More
