My favorite thing about this site is the people, by far. Plus being able to comment on both positive and negative aspect of products/things without it ever becoming hostile at any point.
I also scour the deals pages, even though I’m on a plugin buying hiatus.

All the best.

!: The plugin that under delivered the most for me is the Izotope Trash.

2: The plugin that has over delivered the most IMO is the free Softube Saturation Knob. I use it on almost every project.
All the best.

When I first picked up UJAM’s virtual acoustic pianos, I was blown away at how cheap they were. I got one of those offers that was something like pick 5 for $49 and got an extra 10% off at Audio Deluxe. I loved the presets. But once I started actually using a couple of them for songs, I found t…

They/he had snuck me back into their email list, so I sent another not so friendly reminder why I left in the 1st place. I referred to the thread he disappeared from.

@zargg I just listened to the new song and thought you guys did a great job! I urge everyone to check it out! These guys play and sing at a very high level and recently earned praise from Warren Huart.

Hi. I am working on vocals for a new Citizen Regen song (with Ed/Bapu). When finished with those, I’ll record some acoustic guitars for the song.

I’m also working on a couple of my own songs, one of them being the heaviest song I’ve ever made (at 54 yrs of age). I’m even playing drums on those 2 songs, which the 1st time I’ve done on my own…Read More

Hi. I was gifted Dynassist 2 weeks ago and found it very useful, and saves my lots of time for my vocal editing.

Look forward to checking this one out.

All the best.

I’ll start off with a boring one.
I don’t have a wishlist this year. I got a TONEX pedal and Total Studio Max 5 (on sale) earlier this year, plus upgraded to Soundtoys 5 from the Effect Rack (also on sale) so that was my money spent for the rest of the yea…

Hi. I’ve been using my FP 16 since 2020 with Studio One 5,6 and 7 Pro.

I love the workflow, and I have the user buttons programmed to make loop selection, buses and FX channels. I use it for automations (volume, pan, plugins), but I would trade it (if I was forced) for my Console 1 (mkI).

But together, they make me feel like I’m working in a…Read More

Hi. I was invited to a concert by my niece, with a locally famous (Norway) rock band called Oslo Ess.

It was a great gig, and full on sing along from the audience on most songs.

Before that it was Alestorm (pirate rock kinda thing, with 5 other bands in the same kind of style), invited by one of my nephews. Also one of the best concerts I’ve…Read More

I’ll start off with a boring one.
I don’t have a wishlist this year. I got a TONEX pedal and Total Studio Max 5 (on sale) earlier this year, plus upgraded to Soundtoys 5 from the Effect Rack (also on sale) so that was my money spent for the rest of the year.

I don’t feel like I’m missing anything either.

All the best.

I’m in the same boat as you.
But the TONEX collections does not interest me (as I capture my favorite presets from Amplitube and other amp sims into TONEX, then my TONEX pedal), so what would I then get instead?

Any suggestions anyone?
All the best.

My go-to’s are Softube Saturation Knob, Spicerack by Process Audio, Soundtoys Decapitator and IK Saturation-X.
I have lots of others that I use on a less than regular basis.
All the best.

Thanks!

I’ve got an Ibanez 7 string myself, and I’m very pleased with it. It only the Gio version, which is the cheapest series, but I got it at a bargain 2nd hand a couple of years ago. It plays very well, even though it only has 22 frets 😉

It was just a small outdoor gig, and we covered Snowblind by Black Sabbath.

It was good to be “on stage” again, and we got positive feedback from both people and media (newspaper).

It started raining during soundcheck, and they only had this small tent, so we had to cuddle up together.

It stopped raining before the gig started, but left it up,…Read More

Hi. I got a TONEX pedal a month ago, and I’m very pleased with it. I found out how to capture my favorite amp sim presets from Amplitube to S-Gear when they’re in standalone mode.

I played a gig yesterday, using the TONEX pedal with my own preset.

Looking forward to testing the new Capture/Modeler.

All the best.

I forgot to unsubscribe from their email list, so got an email today with some offer.

I was still thinkin about this thread/issue with Karanyi

I ended up answering that email with this response:

After seeing how Dani Karanyi treated Jorge on the Linked Musicians site…Read More

The BCA is my favorite Console 1 strip. It gets used several times in every project I do.

It has a “broad stroke” EQ, so not the tool for surgical stuff, but it sounds great.

All the best.

I like the RS 127’s for adding bite to geetarz. They add something that a boost of a stock type eq at 2,7, or 3.5 kHz does not, IMO.

All the best.

Had I known how this company treats its customers, I wouldn’t have purchased anything from them, or taken the freebie above.

Customer service (or any communication from the company) is important to me, and behaving like this to a customer is a no-no.

10 days since the 1 post, and no clarification from them is not a good look for them.

All the best.

Have a great trip with your family, Peter.

Enjoy it to the max 🙂

All the best.

The tool from Azslow is called CWP2Song, and can be used for Studio One. I have used it on several songs with success. It’s in public Beta now.

The REAPER tool is called ReaCWP.

All the best.

I bought some of the products for usually a $1 price a decade or so ago, and was my 1st cheap collection of instruments.

Some I got for free with different MIDI keyboards I bought. I haven’t used them in years, but IIRC liked a couple of them.

All the best.

Still 1646 left.

All the best.

They have this freebie as well:
https://process.audio/en/products/protility
They also do educational discounts:
https://process.audio/support/do-you-offer-educational-discounts
I am in no way affiliated with them, just like the plugins.

All the best.

Still available serials.

All the best.

I really like their plugin line, especially Comp Two and Ripple.

All the best.

I love my mk I Elgato Stream Deck. And I can highly recommend it.

I can’t remember where I bought it, but it was more expensive than this price.

I mainly use mine to control macros in Studio One 7 Pro, and it’s a great time-saver.

All the best.

I think you might be right. I didn’t get a new version of it in IK Product Manager.

I have T-Racks 5, so would have thought that a new version would be available if new.

I got offered MixBox (6) for $19.99 when in cart, so I jumped at that.

All the best.

Technically only for US citizens, but I managed to get it (located in Norway).

I saw someone mention that if you used a US Zip code and phone nr, it would be available for those who outside US as well.

I started with the snare drum in a school marching band, playing for 4 years (until 14). I didn’t touch an instrument again until I was 19, when a friend brought an acoustic guitar with him to my place. I bought my 1st acu guitar a few days later. Then an el…Read More

I have indeed used it with great results.

Such a time-saver as well.

Hi.

I’ve had anxiety at many points during my life.

But when my wife passed in 2019, it came back at a whole other level.

I’ve struggled to go out my front door for years, and only went out for groceries etc.

This February I managed to get in touch with the music therapist in my city, and told him that I wanted to be an asset, not a “regular…Read More

I am Zargg at other forums and sites.

I’ve chosen that as my “artist name.

This is a pic of me playing a gig in Oslo 15 years ago.
