I picked up Glitchmachines Fracture XT. I'm having far more fun doing minimal/abstract/ambient/noise things than I should. I mean, it's hardly The Disintegration Loops but it's in the general ballpark.

S-Gear does have great sounds, I wish it had a little larger selection of gear (not that it ought to go all feature bloaty, I mean it'd be cool if it had the first really nice OD pedal model for example) but what you get ranges from good to outstanding I like their cab sim approach as well, friendly to user IR collections etc. but also very intuitive to use the integrated IR loader with the included library. Appreciated the mic positions they picked, too

Also Waves having another ridiculous sale. CLA 2A for 40 bucks or whatever is a steal.

I was interested in Reason due to my respect for ReBirth but always stayed away since it was kind of a walled garden. This seems like a smart move for them.

I did a bit of tutoring with a friend who uses Reason the other day, and it was challenging... It was really very fiddly and finicky.

I got my start with Reason and a while back I got really nostalgic for it, so I bought a relatively cheap Reason 9 license from someone on eBay. Played around with it for a few months and then ended up selling it and getting my money back. While I really liked all the upgrades they've made since I last used it (version 5), I just couldn't get past the lack of VST support (which is why I originally abandoned it in the first place). Now I'm seriously kicking myself in the rear end for getting rid of it. I'll probably end up buying it again. The thought of being able to use Diva or Omnisphere in Reason is just too tempting.

Public beta of the new Cytomic tube screamer emu got released today and its pretty great. Aside from just being a really high quality emulation there's also a mods page where you choose what diodes to use, tweak the high/lowpass and opamp, or break open a details page and change the values of any component in the whole model. So yeah as usual with Cytomic it's fantastic and also quite cheap at just 30 bucks this time around.

Probably going to get that to go w/ S-Gear 2. Great amp models but I like the boosted sound and it won't do that too good on its own. I asked on KVR why another TS given that there are so many solid TS plugins on the market, and I think the idea is that there will be other pedal models as well. I'd like that. Got the Fulltone pack for Amplitube, and holy smokes the SSTE emu is fantastic. For sure the best tape delay emu that IKMM has ever done. It just gets it right, from the preamp's effect on the sound to the delay's decay characteristics. A lot of "tape delay" plugins sound more like analog delays if you ask me, but the SSTE sounds right - definitely something to demo in the CS if you're an Amplitube user. TERC is probably better than any of the chorus options available, just IMO. Though the "X chorus" (MXR Stereo Chorus model) from Slash sounds good. But not a must-have if you aren't a chorus fan.  I already had the OCD pedal model from whenever it came out, and I like it pretty well but the stand-out from the Fulltone Collection is definitely that SSTE. It's been a long time since I've heard a real tape echo in person, I think 2009 was the last time I got to plug into one and play with it - I don't want to get silly praising it without the ability to A/B the thing, which ain't happening at $1300, but in terms of plugin quality I can comfortably say it is outstanding.

I bought a Focusrite 2i2 a few days ago, and it came with a bunch of plugins including Cytomic's Tube Delay, TSAR-1 Reverb, Saturation Knob, and Drawmer S73 compressor. I'm really loving the sound of the TSAR-1 and have been using the Drawmer as my go to compressor right now as its really easy to use.

Their entire youtube channel is a good time. You'd think two bald swedish dudes talking about music production while seemingly never blinking would be boring but it's really just a fun channel to check out every now and then.

I think the $199 upgrade from Ultimate 10 hits the price point where I'm willing to do it. Does anyone know if the 'Product Box' version allows me to access the downloads right away?

Couldn't sleep for poo poo last night with too much to think about and nothing to do about all the thinking Used Amplitube 4 for guitars (Triple Rec model from the MESA/Boogie pack clean channel on rhythm, '65 Super Reverb from Fender Collection 2 cranked up for lead), EZdrummer 2 for drums (and you can super tell, I didn't do much to the drum mix the plugin was giving me, just wanted to get this out of my head). I used the Fulltone Collection they came out with for the TERC effect and the SSTE effect. I can't afford a real TERC (at least, it would be hilariously unjustifiable at the moment) but hey I got the pack for like $40 from their big sale not long ago and it's a real nice facsimile. Also very cool that I don't have to worry about moisture getting on the heads of the tape echo 'cause, you know, it's all a huge digital phony I love. I used the T-Rex Replica effect from their Custom Shop on the lead guitars, wanted some contrast in the delays too. Agreed fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Jun 2, 2017 |

Its kinda wacky, they use NI Service Centre to authorise stuff yet it has no problem having a combo of legit and  stuff in there (bought Rammfire, had to reinstall everything, no way to redownload Rammfire to use with GR without having to buy it again... Have since swapped to Amplitube but you can make the logic jump there)

Yeah you basically just need an internet connection when you first install it and then it's authorized for good.

So, I finally pulled the trigger for Komplete Ultimate, which leaves me with some NI plug-ins I bought on sales years ago that I'll have duplicates of. I'd like to get rid of the duplicates, so please PM me if you're interested in any of these: Razor Vintage Compressors (VC-160, VC-2A VC-76) Premium Tubes Series (Vari Comp, Enhanced EQ, Passive EQ) SkannerXT I got these when they were a bit more expensive at 50%, so I figure I'll sell them at something less than 50% of the current non-sale price. I'm hoping this is OK for this thread, otherwise I'll move it to a more appropriate forum.
