So, I've been getting more dialogue editing work recently and I'm thinking about finally getting into the izotope universe. Some of the suites are currently marked as "on sale" through November 9th, but I haven't been watching the prices on any of their stuff. Does anyone know if I should expect better discounts for black friday, or is this pretty much as good as it gets?

e: actually it looks like the music production suite discount is through december 9th. i guess this is the sale then!

Thanks everyone! I think the deverb and mouth click plugins alone are gonna make my life a lot easier too, in this brave new era of home studios.

gently caress, I'm just starting to get good with and like RX, can't wait for it to get wrecked by contemporary business models!

I find, with most instrument libraries, half of the battle is figuring out how they want you to play/trigger them. I've recently fallen in love with 8dio's Intimate Studio Strings, and they give you a really high degree of verisimilitude if you pay attention to expression automation and switch between samples smartly. You gotta be careful though. As with every sample library I've ever used, you gotta find the sweet spot. The legato patches, for instance can be heartachingly pretty with their big damatic portamentos. OTOH, if you're not careful, your soulful cellist can end up sounding like a sloppy drunk.

If you're not looking for a perfectly transparent sound, most vocal processing plug-in suites also seem to have pitch direction these days. My favorite voice design plug-in lately has been vocalsynth, which has decent pitch correction, but is mostly for wild vocoded harmonies. Nectar also has pitch correction, and I've got half a dozen max for live plug-ins that also do the thing.
