Too bad The Orchestra Complete is not on sale, and that Orchestral Tools doesn’t (IMO) offer decent upgrade paths.

@mrfigg, how did you like the Dust-O-Tron expansion?

If you’re interested in these, getting the full collection for $100 with the code COLL100 might be better value.

It’s Aria Sounds. Even the discounted price is almost always more than what the product is worth. I’m not sure this time is an exception, but I’ll give it a try.

What’s your opinion on Nashville Scoring Strings? I was just chatting with Ollie the other day. We’re both Chicago guys. He’s a really nice guy. Down to earth, a family man. Very likable. I enjoy seeing indie developers like him succeed.

I really like how clearly defined and pristine my unreg…Read More

Too bad I already own Nashville Scoring Strings and I’m only interested in L.A. Modern Percussion.

Does anyone know if Pulse Audio allows license transfers?

I’m easily impressed by synths, so it was pretty impressive how unimpressed I was with this one when I looked at the videos on YouTube. I can’t put my finger on it, but it felt like the whitest CEO of the biggest Fortune 500 company tried to blend in with the boyz in South Central by putting on a baseball cap.

@Pseudopop is the Lament pack very cinematic or would it be usable in other stuff you reckon?

In my esteemed opinion, it’s very cinematic. If you want to create sound textures or play foreboding chords that slowly fade in, this is your jam. There aren’t many agile instruments that would allow you to…Read More

Procrastination FTW!

MM10. Works on a bunch of other stuff, including M-Tron Expansions.

You can also try IMP10 just to see. I think it’s expired though.

Thanks. I got Lament, the M-Tron Pro expansion by Venus Theory.

Pick up the free DLCs while you’re at…Read More

Is there a code for this, or is the discount automatic?

Nah,  still too expensive.

 

(I’m on 5 Assistant. Will upgrade for a tenet though.)

I think $19 for a version upgrade is reasonable. I plan to stick with Assistant.

They have extended the offer for one day.

I bought Sinematic 1 & 2 and they are, IMO, very good. Plenty of variety and the sound quality is good. Well worth $9 apiece, if you need hits, bass drops, risers, and similar things.

Still on the fence about Sinematic Neon.

Okay, so these are the kinds of sound effects you might hear in an Anime when someone sees something unexpected or someone pulls out a magical weapon, or things like that. These are not sounds that you hear from physical objects, but more like stylized sounds you use to emphasize an action or an event.

Maybe two thirds of the sounds are a kind of…Read More

Looks like a good time to upgrade my v4 Assistant.

At AudioDeluxe, the BFCM10 code works for Nithonat and Phoscyon, dropping their prices to $31.50 each.

I don’t have enough drum machines yet, right? Right?

<EDIT  I just noticed the “faded” note on their page: Mac ONLY (currently)>

Guess I WON’T be trying this for a while 😛

Not a deal, I guess, but $49 may not be bad for stem separation with MIDI generation / conversion integrated.  I have not tried Wingman  yet, but Mixed in Key (…

what’s with developers who sell instrument plugins like the theremin and don’t have an audio or video demo so you can hear what it sounds like?

If you heard what it sounded like, you wouldn’t buy it.

Very reasonable prices (after discount):

• Sloom: 19 €
• Factorsynth 3: 39 €
• Factoid 2: 14 €

I got all excited before noticing that the prices shown exclude VAT. My final prices are about the same as everywhere else. 🙁

I only just noticed that the Silverline Collection is down to 99 USD/EUR. That seems exceptionally low so I thought I’d point it out. Currently 83.16 USD at JRR with code GROUP. For a second I thought I’d found a gli…
