I was really hoping for a EZX for $29 that appealed to me, but I have yet to see one. Hopefully, they do something great for the finale tomorrow.

As far as comparing Toontrack’s basses to Orange Tree Samples’ basses, Orange Tree Samples is really in a whole different league of sampled ins…

i checked on the NI site and the upgrade seems same price for me.

I picked up the EZK2 upgrade. It was worth it I think. Lots of new useful features.

TT looks like they might get some of my cash. Nothing else looks appealing yet.

meh.. I never gelled with padshop. plus steinberg kind of got my mad with the way they handled the evolution of that product. first it was padshop and then they charged to upgrade to padshop pro. then they phased out padshop pro and turned it into padshop 2 and took away my licenses for pro without clearly explaining why.

very cool. i will check out demos. i am a drum addict and always on the lookout for good drum sounds.

It’s November 13 and I’m already exhausted by all of this. Plugins bought so far: 0

 

Yup. same here. 0 so far.

I have to say, I sort of liked that last IKM group buy. I jumped in early with something cheap and then would keep getting my GAS fix by picking up a freebie every week and playing aro…Read More

I will check it out and Babus. I am indeed a big Zevon fan. I still think his first album is a master piece. Probably one of the greatest songs and lyrics ever written.

good stuff. your vocals have a warren zevon vibe to it. love it.

i am a big rotary fan and have been eyeing the waterfall for ages. just waiting for it to drop to its lowest or become a freebie.

I don’t look at a worst list. Yes, I have purchases and plugins that I aquired that I don’t use much, but I leave them there and i will delve into them to get inspired and get new ideas.

My goto are:

• kontakt and the drums in there. abbey road, butch vig e.t.c.
• usually IK amplitube and ToneX are in my projest always.

the list keeps…Read More

I am hoping for some good deals from my fav dev Soniccouture.

this business of the free signature packs that you get if you buy ToneX SE is something that was added in this thread. All it really means is, of the 11 free items that you do get, you don’t need to select those free signature packs that you chose f…

I think this was intended to mean, at the time of writing , if you buy Tonex SE to get into the group buy you would immedeiately get two signature collections for free, with more signature collections to follow as the group buy ramps up. I think the second statement was meant to say that if you already…

i got a license. but when you register it, it shows already used or not found.

who are these bvker scammer guys?

Can anyone explain this to me as I don’t quite understand.

The Group Buy is a great time to start or grow your TONEX Tone Model library. Choose TONEX SE and instantly get 2 Signature Collections free, with more likely to follow. If you already own a version of TONEX, go directly to the col…

i see no license key either. 🙁

Hi @peter-ik

any luck with my other post asking about offering rest of Mojo to older ST4  users who already have some of Mojo in their account? It just doesn’t make sense that The Grid for SampleTank 3 is still being offered but Mojo has been taken down forever.

I am in this Group Buy, and am out of things to pick. So I am now looking at…Read More

what i see is space delay for $10

IK Multimedia Space Delay

but will it could? hmm??

All I can add to this is, in all my years of dwadling in the music software world as a consumer, I have never come across the concept of “a non-upgradable version because you got it on sale and you didn’t pay full price for it.”

It seems there are all sort of linked to Plugin Boutique — so why doesn’t IKM Just put on their page, plugin boutique…Read More

I dont get it. is this 4 years old?

https://www.facebook.com/apogee.electronics/videos/lets-dance-preset/214822533870225/

I didnt  get it. And I am subscribed. I only see select 5 for $50

thanks. i wanted this for long time.

yes. that is the mystery. i think it just means serial numbers that you register for those products that come with hardware they sell. IIRC, you get free software with their pedals and speakers and so on. but i am not sure.

i find I use IKM saturation-x the most.

i was enrolled in piano and trumpet lessons as a kid in elementary school. i hated it and i got kicked out of the school and high school band too for sucking so bad.

A Prince video inspired me to learn music. I bought an electric guitar when i was 15 and started learning to play it on my own. i had no idea what i was doing.  My uncle gave me a…Read More

nice. any price errors?

I probably know the answer to this, but will throw it out there anyway. Anyone who has this, do you prefer the Roland or the d16 version?

oh no. i am a drum addict and i have been eyeing the d16 group. 🙁

if they only had filler items that were $11

I am a big Robbie Robertson fan and I finally got around to watching the doc about The Band. Sharing in case anyone interested. The doc is good. A lot of stuff I already knew from before. Some stuff I didn’t. I didn’t know Dylan lived in pink house with them for 6 months and thats when they made basement tapes for instance.

I am also a Band fan,…Read More

Yea, that Musio deal at $149 is great. But for those of us that got sucked into their marketing for the “lifetime” (at $499) have NEVER seen anything more from them.

Maybe a marketing opportunity for IK. Post the actual gear used to make the emulations in AT5 on their YouTube channel. 🙂

I am also using ToneX and captures these days, but I have to say, my go to is still AT5 for getting tone ideas down. I find nothing wrong with it. I don’t quite get all the GearPage posts claiming captures are miles better…Read More

I am a heavy FL DAW user.  The built in AI thing is interesting. But slow as hell on my system. It takes a while for it to return results.

one day. i too  will be able to afford a weiss.

shapeshifter is great!!

tempting. but am waiting to see if a new bundle gets released.

the price is same as the upgrade offer from soundtoys if you have little radiator. might as well get the full license then.

I see no deals on this one yet. Presets @ 50% off is the usual thing they do in summer. I will check to see if there are any I really want.

Some music news worth checking out.

I keep eyeing this developer. I hear lots of good stuff. Just waiting for a good deal. Better than this.

I started teaching myself bass and have been listening to old Police and Sting music to pickup some bass lines. Its good stuff.

PM me if anyone wants my code. I won’t be using it.
