The color says “distortion” but I’m trying to understand how a one knob distortion could be very exciting.

Tangled roots perplex her ways.

It’s exciting for Waves because they can market to everyone who registers for this and upsell, cross-sell, and then send us all new W…Read More

Yeah. It never seizes to amaze me how much more effort some companies put into driving customers away instead of getting the free PR and good word of mouth for relatively little to no effort. But when the message is practically “Your investment is not safe with us” it’s kind of really easy to skip buying from such vendors.

“VST 2 is not officially supported. VST 2 plug-ins may be loaded (excluding on Native Apple Silicon) when the VST 2 plug-in scanner is enabled in the VST Plug-in Manager. However, Steinberg does not provide support for any issues related to VST 2.”

From the Notes section 🙂

Cubase 15 apparently also drops VST2 support completely, if that’s something one cares about.

There is a sea of ridiculously great deals going on right now. I picked Hot up as part of a UJAM Pick 5 Bundle a few weeks ago and like it. I didn’t really have those kind of pop drum sounds in my collection of sample libraries, so I thought for roughly $10, why the heck not. I’m not sure how well it would work with my electronic drums, though –…Read More

What is really perplexing to me is that these companies do not seem to understand that every discussion they have with a customer should be treated as public. You should never write anything in an email you wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the New York Times.

As an example of how you should do things, I’ll give you UJAM.

Has anybody used these?  what do you think?  Are they good? Excellent?

I have some of their presets. Presets are highly subjective, of course, but I think they range from pretty good to just okay. T…

Can’t wait to buy this from KnobCloud for a sane price!

Your post cracked me up, but I totally agree with you. Most developers are doing deep discounts and Toontrack has been raising their prices. IMO, no other developer can touch them when it comes to drum sample libraries and their player. But t…Read More

Oh, look! There it is already:

Only 113 euros. Still too steep for me.

I just spent some time with this library and it makes our list of Best Free Kontakt Sample Libraries. It’s a lot of fun. Between this and Audio Imperial’s free Glade Kontakt sample library, it’s been a great day for those looking for free sample libraries.

Video could be about quite a few plugin developers, including some that have had their cases talked about earlier on this forum.

Interestingly, Best Service has all EZMix packs at 40% off, including the ones for EZMix 3, whereas Toontrack limits those to 20% off (as they are new and much more substantially tweakable).

Or $49 if you already own everything but it. 😏

I just picked up their giant bundle a month ago. Do you (or anyone else) if they grandfather in purchases made within the last month or so to the next version, or do they always charge you regardless?

I just checked after I saw your post. It’s not just you or your settings, pseudopop. Audio Deluxe seems to have turned off the code for Baby Audio plugins since I made the original post (I did test it before I posted the deal). Consequently, the 10% off code no longer works on Baby Audio p…

The AudioDeluxe website hasn’t worked properly for me ever since they updated it. It’s probably my browser’s security settings causing the problems, but with the amount of trackers and analytics scripts AudioDeluxe uses, I’m not going to disable them or visit the site with Chrome.

Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it. I fixed the link in the original post and added the affiliate code to your link.
