While, if you pick up Temperence Lite as a freebie recently (posted on LinkedMusicians, of course), you can get this for $78.76 direct from Eventide or an even $79 from Plugin Boutique plus get a Beatsurfing plugin free and use and earn their loyalty cash to reduce the cost and help with the operating costs for…Read More

I tried to install using the InMusic Software Center. I am on a PC but the software center downloaded the MAC version. So I cannot install it.

I’m not sure what happened, but the URL for the Windows installer is here and it worked fine for me, and i’m also on Windows and installing Transient as I post…Read More

I would gladly take on the vocals, but bass guitar, guitar, piano, synth, you name it — if you want to collaborate on these tracks, just let me know.

OK, the ‘free Kontakt Player instrument’ wording confused me… it costs money lol. And yes, Kontakt Player is free 🙂

I picked up this, the AMEK console, the Knif Soma eq, the Millenia TCL-2 compressor all for $30 with a voucher.

there are still some PA deals to be had like the old days!

In the XILS web site, has the same price, but at AudioDeluxe, you can get the free plugin of the month and apply the coupon FALL10 to get an additional 10% off.

Final price with a present: $13.50

My family would be very unhappy if I turned speakers on or even attempted to play my drums or percussion — I suppose with the exception of my glockenspiel. So, consequently, it’s all MIDI controllers, electronic (MIDI) drums, and headphones for me from start to finish. And my hearing isn’t great, so I need everything loud to hear the various…Read More

This totally appeals to me. I’d be interested in what others are doing regarding mixing. Are you mixing on monitor speakers or using headphones?

I really like this developer and have been posting about him for years. He’s really talented. I see that Sound on Sound recently gave this a stellar, 5/5 review and even used the phrase genius when referring to the developer. It was cool to see him get some well deserved recognition.

The IK Group Buy is presently at 30 products for the price of 1 with 1,594 new participants needed to reach the next level and 18 days to go.

So now I’m caught in between the Elysia Karacter and the Vertigo VSS-2. I’d love to hear from anyone who has either. Also, if those vouchers are transferable, feel free to PM me a spare one guys! 🙂

If you use the $25 monthly voucher you can buy all 4 for $15.

I haven’t bought anything from them in a while and haven’t seen one of those vouchers in a while. I actually wasn’t sure that they still sent those out until your post. Darn! Now I’m jealous. I was doing a little research on the  Elysia…Read More

Also available for free from the Focusrite Collective. As a result, you can get it from KnobCloud for ~$10.

Is it currently available from Focusrite Collective? I own two Focusrite devices. If it is available, could you post the link, please? I’d love to grab it for free. Thanks!

I’ve been looking at the Elysia Karacter for 10 bucks. Any opinions on it from people who use it or demoed it?

https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/elysia_karacter.html

Cool! AudioThing rocks, an awesome indie dev.  And I realy enjoy the composer / musician in the video above, who’se done some other demos for them too. I can’t recall his name, but I’ve enjoyed every demo that he’s done and watch them from start to finish.

Only FYI

Take into account that there are two different versions of this plugin

• LX480 Essentials
• LX480 Dual-Engine Reverb

The offer is for the first one (LX480 Essentials)

$12.60 at JRRSHOP with the GROUP coupon. Of course, if you want one of the PluginBoutique freebies and want to support LM, PB would be the better choice. @peter, do you have an affiliate link for JRRSHOP?

Nope. I don’t think they have an affiliate program. But I love it when our members better a deal…Read More

My favorite sample libraries, my go-tos:

PIANO
– NI Noire
– Orange Tree Samples Evolution Rosewood
– 8Dio The 1928 Piano (yes, 8Dio gives this away free, but I love it)
– Emertone Walker 1955 Concert D Lite (I feel guilty because I love this library I bought for $10 and never upgraded, because I’m really happy with the lite version)
– EZKEYS Stan…Read More
