I don’t another compressor, but at $13 . . . .

Sometime ago I picked up the N channel and for $15 it’s a great deal.

His Chromatic harmonica does everything I need for a good blues harmonica. You can hear an example here. I also use Indiginus’ resonator and fiddle as well as Amplesound’s ethnic banjo and 12-string,  among  other instruments.

That’s a really good piece…Read More

…and if you are not a customer, my two cents is that SIR Audio is one of the coolest and most honest developers out there. Even their usual prices are better than competitors’ in the same (high) quality league. Their BF season is already active: https://www.siraudiotools.com

Completely agree.

I bought the DSM V 3 several years ago and it really is very useful.  If you’re looking for “color/mojo/character” then this isn’t it.  It you want a really good neutral compressor that can give you some great results, then this is a steal at $9.99.

I have to say I wasn’t prepared for a Black Friday SEASON.  I was sort of thinking the week of T’giving the deals would start and then we’d see the dénouement on Cyber Monday.    I’ve found myself a bit overwhelmed by it all.  A lot of the heavy hitters have already started their sales and we aren’t even at the middle of November!  What’s to come…Read More

I like Waves, but the only reason to post a sale here is when they introduce something new (especially if it becomes part of their Mercury bundle).

Studio One, Windows, RME UFX, Yamaha MSP7

That’s pretty much the way I see it.

I quit Waves during the subscription fiasco and since then I can’t say I really missed them.

@mustakatu I’m with you.  I tried Nembrini too and just wasn’t satisfied.   I just found this demo of the SLL.  Just doesn’t sound like it’s quite there to me.

I actually bought one of these years ago and they’re actually quite well done and money well spent if you’re looking for an accordion.  As a bonus, for a meager $5.36 you can introduce your friends and family to the joys of polka music!

I got this one years ago, and for $1 it’s a great deal.

There is a sea of ridiculously great deals going on right now.

You’ve got that right!  It’s a tad overwhelming.  I’ve got my eye on quite a few others, and we haven’t even gotten to the actual Black Friday yet.  And right behind that is Cyber Monday.  It’s going to be a heck of a month!

I always struggle with getting an acoustic mic’ed right, in spite of the fact that the rest of the world seems to do it fairly easily, so I’m definitely going to test drive this thing.  I’ve tried other plugins in the past that never seemed to get it right, but maybe this is the one.

Has anybody used these?  what do you think?  Are they good? Excellent?

It looks like there is some good stuff in this bundle and a great deal at just under $11 per plugin.  I was holding off on buying anything until Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but between this and what Softube is doing it looks like this is going to take more will power than I have.  It’s shaping up to be a looong and expensive month.

Well, if ever there was a post to respond to, this one seems like it.  I pop in CW everyday and their Deals Section is good, but Linked Musicians sets the bar in terms of hunting up the deals.  Bottom line: much appreciation and thanks to Peter for what he does.

I bought one of their plugins and was having trouble getting it authorized (as it turned out it was my error).  Anyway, when you contact support you talk to the developer/owner himself.  He’s a really delightful helpful guy.  I’ll give support an A+.

Yes,seeing this message, I proceeded with the purchase of the T-RackS Tape Machine Collection for $49. The transaction was successful, and I would like to express my gratitude. I have now acquired nearly all products offered by IK Multimedia.

Ditto.  Off and on over the years, as sales popped up, I’d…Read More

Best (in no particular order) :

1. Ample Sounds J and P basses.  These things just sound real to me.  Maybe one day I’ll actually figure out how to use the riffer.
2. OTS Rickenbacker bass.  Sounds great and comes with a ton of presets.
3. Scarbee Rickenbacker bass
4. Modartt.  I think it sounds very detailed and very 3D.  Additional pianos are usua…

That was excellent!  Thanks.

The guy who runs that site also includes other plugin freebies that his students designed.  A few of them look very interesting.

LIM Plugin Collection

There is a really neat program on this site that allows you to make custom reverb IR’s (sort of like Burger King, you get to have it your way).  I ran one just to see how it sounded and considering it’s totally free I was really impressed.

I never really cared for the old page.  it looked kind of like something I would put together.  The new site seems much more attractive albeit a bit utilitarian.  In the end I’d keep shopping there either way.

Peter, being a marketing manager, isn’t going to be authorized to share information on IK’s plans for SampleTank unless the CEO has authorized it. But there’s no harm in politely asking him. SampleTank has never been a priority for IK. They’ve gone more than 10 years in between major versions (in between…
