That time of year when most of us update our versions of Komplete! What new stuff is everyone anticipating? I’m probably going to stick with Komplete Standard. I’m pretty excited about:

– The new features in Kontakt 8, and I have heard good things from some Kontakt developers.

– Guitar Rig 7 Pro. I like 6, although I like Amplitube better. I’ve…Read More

Makes sense to me-  They want you to put more in your cart to pass the minimum 😀

The deal ends tonight.

That’s a shame to see SampleTron discontinued.  I thought it had a good set of non-traditional sounds in addition to the classics.

SampleTron has one of the best libraries of Tron and related. My only complains are that the last update messed with the gr…

I find mvMeter2 handy for both gain staging and checking overall loudness

Excellent recommendation. I have that and use it too. Thanks, @antler! I’ll add it to the list.

Thanks for sharing this, @frank! So far, every freebie from this developer has made my list of best Kontak freebies. I’m eager to check this out!

This whole thread was incredibly informative.  I had no real idea about the inner workings/thinking of software companies and this really pulled the curtain back for me.  I would be very interested in seeing more posts along these lines.

Haha! You’re probably the only one! As you can see, I enjoy writing a…Read More

I didnt know that Syntronik was being discontinued.. that is not an old product at all and is a big red flag to me.

For us mac users this kind of pratice with “recent” products is really worrying

Syntronik was released in 201…

Okay, checking this guy’s record. He’s someone who’s been banned using a different username. He actually didn’t follow the rules, so I’m going to delete his posts and account and ban the IP.

Just a reminder that Spaceblender is no longer free as of May 22 and will be priced at $99 US, so if you haven’t already picked this up, check it out. It’s pretty cool. A no-brainer as a freebie, IMO.

i miss it when was almost free with humble bundle bundle….. little sad, its is nice sounding one… i cant find super cheap licence for it….

Are you sure that Quadra was ever super cheap at Humble Bundle? I thought I picked up every cheap Cherry Audio synth deal they had, Mercury-4, PS-3300, Polymode, and Volta…Read More

It’s installed and I had a quick play with the presets. Sounds great!

Plenty of usable presets and that’s before I have tweaked anything.

Standouts are Cloud Fantasy, Plinky plonk, Iced swells, Chaos theory .. (probably more that I haven’t auditioned yet)

btw @peter I hit reply to your message but it di…

That’s weird – I just updated MPluginManager and after the update I can see Analog Empire Plucks and Keys on the MSoundFactory page. So they seem to have published it early (I own MSoundFactory btw).

I am downloading it now (1.6Gb).

Seems like a great deal on the freebie for all @peter

Funny enough, I lis…Read More

The info page linked is a bit confusing.  They say it is an Msoundfactory library that is free to owners of regular or LE versions.  I think all of their libraries are “free” for owners.  I own the Melda bundle, so I don’t know- If you get the one week “freebie”, do you get a “player” version of Msoun…

Anyone know if vstbuzz offers additional coupons on their sales like APD occasionally does? Got my eye on an item on sale (Sordina by Libre Wave) and a coupon would for sure solidify the buy

 

edit: quick research shows they had a 10% off Easter coupon so maybe there is hope of one showing up in time
