Really like the fact that the people who come here are real musicians who care more about building each other up than tearing each other down. Combined with the overall professionalism of Peter’s knowledge and experience in the industry, and his passion to see this forum come to life, it’s been my favorite place to check deals

Welcome, Mike! Another satisfied lifetime owner here, grateful for Musio continuing to deliver value through the new libraries, features, and everything else the future holds. Big fan, Cheers

Who recognizes this “legendary HiFi reverb amplifier unit from the 60s and 70s” by the picture/sound? Didn’t do research yet, maybe some of you guys already did.

Found this Reddit thread about what is likely the hardware version. The word “Gimmick” comes up a lot but i haven’t tried it or listened to…Read More

Thank you for posting! Unless I’m missing a possible code this is what I’m seeing when i click this link:

”UNTIL SEP 30

BUY VSX ESSENTIALS ($299)
Get Yellow Matter Studios and NRG FOR FREE”

completely free would be sweet though

Awesome idea

Here it is. I found it by searching their site. The discount code no longer works, but $149 ain’t bad. https://www.uaudio.com/search?q=Signature

Appreciate you sir

Anyway, don’t let the “Access denied” pop-up scare you off. Got that a few times myself but in the end all was fine. I now got 56 native UAD plugins plus a few doubles for $149. Sweet.

Seems i just missed it. Great example of when playing it safe doesn’t work out

You sure? Just got it a few hours ago myself.

Yea it’s not showing on the bundles page anymore

Read on cakewalk that one of the older guitar libraries, strummed acoustic, is giving the following release note when updating:

“Minimum Kontakt version requirements Kontakt 8.4.0, if you don’t own this version of Kontakt you wont be able to use the product.”

Careful

Yea is this free plugin just there to make faces based on how close you are to clipping on your track? No videos other than the one from the dev that i could find. I guess if I’m colorblind that could be easier to see signal levels. Always looking to simplify gain staging but not sure this is it

I have it and it’s my number one most regrettable purchase in plugins. Paid $49 for it “On sale” Just a couple years ago? Was looking for a realistic feedback replication since i don’t live in a space to do it loudly with a real guitar amp. This thing is so wobbly and uncontrollable that it’s almost unusable. It sounds like a whale. I’ve had…Read More

Pasting a grab of my email.  Serial was white on black above the “Redeem Now” Yellow box

 

Must be one of the chosen ones, tried 3 different emails as recent as 5 minutes ago, and that area is blank for me. Even highlighted the area and copy pasted into a note still nothing

Also was eyeing this one recently, doesn’t seem to get a lot of press but gets good user reviews. Goes on sale for Black Friday i think around 50%, at least when i look up previous sales. Looks like a time saver

Perhaps a cool free alternative to a transit by baby audio

I listened later it sounds like the sort of montage music you get on a Tuesday afternoon house renovation program on tv.

Lol so if i were to buy, i should have no problems landing sync licensing placements with these

Amazing, this has been on my list of things to save up for, for a while now. Only have the free foundation instruments and the code was sitting up at the top of “My account” …Don’t mind if i do👌

@teebacca and @jorge, as we haven’t seen anyone weigh in on this, I thought it would be helpful to run a sentiment analysis of Sampleson Scaper. These analyses use AI to examine the relevant posts at the popular plugin, gear, and composing forums and groups on the major social media platforms to u…

Has anyone tried this? I read a couple places that all the sample stretching sounds the same regardless of the sample, so never took the plunge on it

Actually like Vocalign though, was fortunate enough to cop Vocalign ultra before synchroarts were acquired by landr

Best deal in the biz

Got this and canceled the sub, then watched videos including samples of the presets and decided not to install it lol

while “demos” they are still full fledged kontakt instruments with a limited amount of parameter controls/presets, but you’re getting the most basic presets to showcase the value.i have them included in my production template and use them often because the sound is high quality and cinematic. I also own the full quantum synth instrument and like it

I have been using this and love it, I’ll duplicate my vst, add this as a midi plugin to the clone, group the two tracks into a bus, and automate the volume of the harmony bloom track for somewhat of a wet/dry effect. I’ve primarily used it on piano so far but lots of other applications I’m sure

“This is a 1-computer 6-month license, for noncommercial use”

in case anyone was curious

Hopefully the plugin industry learned from Waves’ backlash when they tried to abruptly drop perpetual licenses and force everyone onto subscriptions. Let’s hope Splice and Spitfire keep that lesson in mind. I don’t think they’re dumb or unaware of what people are saying, but money does weird things to people. Soundcloud introduced paid tiers a…Read More

She was Adobe’s VP of creative cloud engagement, which led to certain thoughts

Diggit

So maybe when this is $30 i can sell my Vocalign ultra license 🤔 @bapu curious to hear your experience after you’ve played with it some

“DEBIRD automatically recognizes bird noises in your recordings and removes them with surgical precision.”

About time

Worth noting you can also get cosmos, demon drop drums, or key fx for free with this voucher

Thanks for the suggestions all. Looks like i need to download SINE either way, gonna mess with the free instruments first and eventually come to a decision here. Happy holidays!

Any freebie recommendations below the $25 threshold?

Lots to sift through here and don’t have any of their instruments yet. But they sound good, and I’ve heard good things about them

The demos do sounds nice, anyone who owns them recommend? Looks like they give a free guitar plugin with bundles

FTR, I’m fine. I just didn’t want people seeing the sudden dip in my posting and think that I’m not committed. I am. I just want to be open about my situation, because I don’t want to stop, but I need to.

sorry to hear this, Peter, and hope you get better soon! As for Musio, The lack of presets may also be one of my other main gripes (which I honestly forgot about) outside of not having room mic control yet. That said, with Musio being my only full orchestral library outside of a few random genre-specific collections, I’ve gotten so used to m…Read More

For those who might not know, this company also gives out a nice demo bundle for free which is pretty nice. Registers via Native Access like the full versions.

i have quantum and like it for creating intros

It’s the drum libraries for me. Lots of personality and vibe. Very nicely done. The keys and synth libraries are highly praised as well but not so much my specific sound I’m after.

Definitely agree. I have been wanting tympo but have been getting away with using Empire Breaks and sidechaining the…Read More

Big fan of le gibet which i have. Use it for edgy productions with a retro synth vibe, their sounds really do well cutting through a dense mix. I’ve been eyeing tympo, but still pricey even at 50% off. I’ve set aside no BF dollars this year but that library might be the only thing out there where I’m feeling the pressure lol. The creator makes…Read More

I too took the $499 deal, but I don’t feel cheated at all.  They have come through with everything they promised at the time, and they are not out of business yet, but if they fail, I understood when I bought in that that was a risk.  It seems that the standard plug-in pricing model is to open high and…

This is a really compelling price for Musio and I’ve heard so many positive things about it — aside from Mike Greene’s attacks on Cinesamples insinuating they’re on the verge of going under — that it’s going to be hard not to bite on this one just based on Piano in Blue and the Tina Guo libraries.…
