$28 if you buy a 6 pack of generic serials from thomassmusic.com.

Doe those who are unaware, you *do not* have to use all 6 serials at once.

IOW: Installed!

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.

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.

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?

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.

$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

I own 2 Distressors hardware units and this is by far the best product I have ever used as a software emulation of the Distressor.

Hello, everyone.

I would like to clarify it. There is NO 75% discount for new accounts.

There is a discount for those who already have the old M1 LE. Here is the official link:

Yay! I love Fracture Sounds freebies! Their Blueprint series is outstanding. Looking forward to playing with this one. Thanks, @frank !

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.

Okay, so allow me to play God’s advocate. 😉  I kid, I kid, I couldn’t resist!…Read More

SSL X-Saturator is still on sale for $7.99, probably the lowest price ever on the plugin. Unsurprisingly, I own a bunch of saturator plugins such as Waves Abbey Road Saturator (or whatever it’s called — that’s from memory), and saturators from UAD, XLN and small developers, but this one has received a lot of praise over the years and that price…Read More
