I don’t like using headphones for two reasons.

#1)  I am facing windows (to outdoors) with my back to the door.  It’s bad enough when someone walks in quietly and startles me, but with headphones it’s guaranteed.  I am also a ham radio guy and usually am monitoring something on the side.

#2) It’s uncomfortable after a while, but I do check in ph…Read More

Well I appreciate your efforts @pseudopop! You’d think I would get in the habit of checking Epic every Thursday, but I need the nudge. 👌

Kiitos!

That’s 66.6% off, the number of the beast, for their Halloween sale. It’s interesting that a developer using the word “demon” in a product name saw a bunch of outrage, but the 666 sale doesn’t seem to get any reaction from the crowd.

That one went right over my head!  I didn’t “get” the 666 th…Read More

Looks like fun.  Are these guys first (this season) to use the “Black Friday” label?  $19 upgrade with sales tax included if you have the rest of the bundle. Insta buy for me.

If you filled out the UVI survey a couple weeks ago you should get a $20 off code (mine came today).  Brought this down to $79 and I couldn’t resist.  Love choral stuff, and the “Augmentation” treatment sucked me in.  Intro price ends Oct 12.

Got it for 69$ with…

Good plan to wait for a sale.  I am sure they will run one before long.  I will probably get the upgrade, even though this software is DEEP (like the Marianas Trench).  I don’t have the dedication to really buy-in to the learning curve, but maybe the AI assist will help out.  I will say that the dev is VERY responsive to feedback on their KVR blo…Read More

This is out for $15 and the September Beatmaker release (Gloom) was $29 “intro customer special”.

Allow me to advocate for the Devil.  Are the folks who can’t get the freebie registered users of Safari Pedals as noted in the OP?  I didn’t get the deal either, but I also don’t have (or want) a Safari Pedals account.

this sounds really good and the price is nice too. does anyone here have it?

I bought this synth VST without expansions a few years ago during a holiday sale.  I owned a CZ-101 back when I hooked it up to my (then) brand new Amiga computer.  The hardware is LONG gone but the VST certainly brings t…Read More

Really great tune 🔥

Used the link to get The Orchestra Complete 4 upgrade.  Been waiting for the $15 off code to come back 🙂   BTW there is a $1 “Service Fee” item you can add to get from $99 to $100 to allow the $15 off code, so you don’t have to buy something additional that you don’t want.

I snagged the deal and would not be at all unhappy if they ran it again.  I still have not had time to load anything to listen to, but I did download everything EXCEPT the SoundBox stuff last night for a total of 77 Gigs.  I really don’t like the Soundbox app.  I will give SB another try to see if the July update improved it, but it is the UI th…Read More

Thanks @FineAlly!  FOMO works.  Busy today but certainly have some stuff to go through later.

I am about half way thought yesterdays Q&A YT and I tend to agree with @GoncaloL.  I don’t see any incentive for them to develop new Musio branded libraries, now that they are planning future revenue generation from third party devs.  There is no incentive for them to commission new content under the Musio brand when they can have them form a “…Read More

I like some Baby Audio FX but I don’t find myself ever loading up Atoms.  I have way too many synth VSTs but I find this pretty bland and unfriendly to tweak anything beyond modulation targets.  Be sure and test drive it before you buy.

I feel your pain @superabbit – It IS happening to others. Just happened to me a couple days ago.  There must be a bug in the parser whereby it is not properly sanitizing the input.  The “faulty” post doesn’t go to moderation, it just disappears.  After it happens to me I will copy my future posts into the clipboard as a precaution a few times, th…Read More

if you have ARC 4 or the hardware then Arc X is free!
It should be listed in your IK Multimedia Product Manager.

Thank you!  I didn’t give it a second look because I assumed it would be a paid upgrade.  I am pretty happy with Arc 4 already.
