When I was posting about the updated free Convology XT convolution reverb today, it occurred to me that Wave Arts Tube Saturator Vintage wasn’t on our list. That was definitely an oversight on my part. It is an excellent tube saturator. I was looking up reviews and what well known folks have said about it and the BPB guys said:”…Tube Saturator…Read More

I must be missing something. I know this is supposed to be legendary but none of the sound examples really appeal to me. Maybe I need to hear this in some sort of context?

Yeah, especially as I’ve got almost every single plugin they made, from Frei:raum up until now.

Yeah, I was so wrong thinking of Ujam products as just toys. That was back when their original guitar titles couldn’t be played as instruments. But they listened to the critics, and how. Now all these amazing guitars (like Cinedream), drums (like Legend) and pianos (like Relic) are not only great sounding instruments on their own, but the p…Read More

Never thought I’d be interested in Ujam’s BeatMaker series as much as I love their pianos, guitars, drums and fx. But the new, ambient Gloom title is actually quite interesting. Again, it’s all about inspiration, Ujam’s forte.

Thanks Peter, but I’m not inclined to pay anything for a bundle that’s highly similar to the one I already have.

You saw it here first! 🙂

It looks like you’ve got my favorites on there that jumped to mind, except I don’t see Isol8 by TBPro Audio.

Here is their page of freebies. The Gear Space clipper (GSat) is excellent too. It’s a little “fiddly” if you just want to clip and move on, but it ha…

I feel your pain @superabbit – It IS happening to others. Just happened to me a couple days ago.  There must be a bug in the parser whereby it is not properly sanitizing the input.  The “faulty” post doesn’t go to moderation, it just disappears.  After it happens to me I will copy my future posts into…

if you have ARC 4 or the hardware then Arc X is free!
It should be listed in your IK Multimedia Product Manager.

Thank you!  I didn’t give it a second look because I assumed it would be a paid upgrade.  I am pretty happy with Arc 4 already.

RIP, Keith John Moon August 23, 1946 – September 7, 1978.

It was hearing the Who’s Next album that made me decide that I was born to play drums (I had been taking piano lessons and playing drums in my family band as a little boy, but it was hearing Moon on that album that made me want to stop everything and go find a drum kit and play). Of cou…Read More

Has a merry-go-round kinda sound.

Don’t worry if you can’t get it. Addiction Synth has the dubious distinction of being my first regret in buying a plugin. IMO it is not worth the time to download, install and test it.

Just a reminder that Andrea is knocking off $20 on his price just for this community (and no, this isn’t affiliate marketing or a referral link; there’s no commission back to LinkedMusicians, just an indie dev giving our community an exclusive discount, which I love, BTW).

@pettinhouse-com how long will this special deal last?

I just tried it on electric piano and synth (leads, bass, plucked strings) and really like it. I can definitely see myself using this in productions. Give it a try.

CineStrings Core $85 and Pro $50 ?

Three of their best for under $50 each? Dealio.
