A video I found made by Audio Plugin Deals where they go through / promote Ascension. I thought others might find it useful when considering this deal.

Great share, @jorge. I’ve downloaded it, installed it, and played, enjoying all 6 patches — especially the gater patches. It quickly made the list of Best Free Kontakt Instruments. This is a really talented developer, IMO, and his latest line of freebies have all been really nice (a total of three, including this one) and all have made the list.

Hi @satya, I found the code actually reduces the price to £1! So you may want to edit the title and post, as, of course, it’s an even better deal.

I think this might actually be $10 off rather than 10% off which is quite decent acutally!I’m guessing that you got the email from AudioPluginDeals that had a subject line that read “Celebrate Mother’s Day with 10% Off Storewide!” and the below graphic claiming $10 off a $40 purchase (which, like you, I…Read More

It is very sweet to see the Pianoverse pianos selling for $29.99! That’s definitely tempting me. I’d love to hear from anyone who has these. I mainly do rock and folk-ish rock / singer songwriter productions. I’d love to get some recommendations. Even though I have a great Yamaha Grand, I really like the demos of Grand Piano Y7.

I am caught between these two names for the official LinkedMusicians stuffed bear. I want a name that's silly and fun -- and of course ties into the LinkedMusicians brand. Linkey does that, although it might lack enthusiasm. Shredward Van Fluffen is ridiculous, and I love that although I actually was never a Van Hellen fan -- it's simply the ridiculousness of it. I promise to include this bear in future photos and video. What do you think? If you have more suggestions, please post 'em! FTR, the name will only be shown on the listing, not the bear itself.

About Me

Simeon Amburgey
Owner of PraiseTracks.com The Home For Joyful Journeys
Having over 40 (has it really been that long) years of experience I count it a great honor to be able to do what I love, playing and helping others with their music. Cakewalk products have been a driving force in my day-to-day production work and I am so grateful to be among so many other talented and gifted musicians here.
I am the president and owner of PraiseTracks which specializes in the area of Christian music production especially in the context of local church ministry and those called to serve in the music ministry. I have compiled a MIDI file library with almost 1,000 titles churches can utilize when there is a need for musicians.
I am always ready to help those who are looking for solutions or run into problems. If I do not know the answers, I love the satisfaction in the process of research and discovery.
You can also find some of my video reviews on my YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/praisetracks
Looking forward to the future and grateful to be here.










I voted for Shredward Van Fluffen — which, BTW, was not my idea, but came from a long list of suggestions from ChatGPT. Linkey, inspired by Homer Simspon’s idiotic names for pets and various things (e.g., Stompy the elephant), was my idea!
