This does look really fun and I think the developer offers some kind of demo on their website.

Reading through the marketing material, my only concern relates to how the tokens work in respect of creating your own models. I’m not absolutely sure but it seems like they cost $29 each which is quite a lot f…

I have a ton of reverbs, so maybe I shouldn’t even watch the video. Cameron is excellent on camera — he’s a natural — so I’m sure he does a great job of presenting this. But I’m already trying pull myself back from contemplating the UAD reverbs / chambers. I love the demos I’ve done of UAD’s Sound City Studios, Capitol Chambers, and Hitsville…Read More

Wut? Wot? I paid $9 for the OG.

Candidly, I had to check to see if I own this or not. Turns out I don’t. And I know this is supposed to be really, good, but I already have probably 20 paid compressors that I don’t know how to use with any level of competence (I mostly just use the AI ones from Izotope and…Read More

BTW, when I shared that my experiences at VI-Control and my direct conversations with Mike Greene were the inspiration for me to create a community committed to civility and not permit the developer contractor shilling or the attacks on competitors with (intentional false information) — I don’t pay attention to VI-Control anymore. But I was…Read More

i just gave up 3 starbucks per month and now have the Bandlab membership in perpetuity… LOL. subscription is the future and everyone will be doing it someday. Studio One “perpetual” license only requires you to buy the next version each year or lose support 3-6 months after that… Pro Tools teters as well…

Here’s the big question to everyone in this community (of course, as we now see around 15 unregistered visitors for every registered visitor, only those who are registered members can weigh in). When Best Service is back up — let’s say it’s a week from now or weeks from now, are you still comfortable buying from them? I’ve created a poll where…Read More

Well, the VIC thread gave us this at least, so maybe things are not as nefarious:

In addition, we would like to add that your Best Service User Accounts and associated licenses have not been impacted by this technical incident. Thanks again for your patience.

Of course, that’s good to see.

They should be…Read More

Ah, okay. From the thread at VI-Control where Best Service is posting –where the crowd quickly went toxic and people started arguing with each other  —  Best Service’s email is not working. Of course, that’s one more reason they should have been communicating in social media. I’m not looking to castigate them for this, but I just hope (1) t…Read More

I sent an email with this message in it to their affiliate manager on June 13, 2025. He has never responded:

“An e-commerce site going down for one day is concerning; three days, it looks as if you’ve gone out of business. Especially with the lack of communication.

Can you tell me what is going on? My community is asking questions.”

I haven’t seen any rumors posted here, only questions and speculation.

A LOT of people have personal stakes in the continued existence of Best Service.

For starters, it is a chilling reminder that all of these license validations that require a handshake with a server depend on that server being a…

Rumors or not, speculation or not, the silence will be filled with something as people are concerned for their financial investments. And that concern increases more and more as the time passes.

Good communication builds trust with the customers and gives them assurance that everything is under…

Installed the 30 day demo.  My 20th vst with “verb” in the name (5 of those are Melda).  I didn’t have Smart Reverb 1.  I am curious what LMers think of this.  I watched a sponsored YT and I like the idea of jumping around instances/tracks in the same UI  and the “forward / back” placement approach over the usual verb-nerd adjustments.

No I don’t (shocking, I know 🙂   I watched the YT vids and I was expecting that the LFOs/CCs were affecting the MIDI generated, but I get the impression that they are just “passing through” to the audio VST.  Kind feel like it is a “conform to scale” tool that would be redundant for me.

@skell Thanks for the update, Sean, and welcome to LinkedMusicians!

While the updated messages raise new questions (have they been hacked and data has been compromised? Otherwise, why are they talking about data security????), it at least shows that they’re there. So I’m going to take it as encouragement.

FTR, I am cheering for these guys. But…Read More
