NI Razor is half-price until Dec 9th. They raised the price from $79 to $99, though (presumably because it's now 1.5 but that's still a bit naughty). I'll probably get it, been eyeing it for a while now.

What's the verdict on this thing? Worth it? Is it mostly limited to Dub step wubs and such or what?

I don't have it, but if anything is limited to dubstep wubs or whatever it's only the presets. No synth is "limited" to any one sound or genre, in fact, that would make a reaaaally lovely synth. Synths are wonderful that way.

Sure, but I am not getting an Odessy vst if I want to get an amazing moog sound, they definately have strengths and was merely enquiring in a cynical way wwhere they lay based upon feedback I had heard from other users.

Razor first came out a few months after Skrillex really blew up huge and Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites came out and all that stuff. NI tried to :bandwagon: and literally advertised it as a "dubstep plugin," which I think is in large part why you still hear a lot of that from people.

It definitely has some wobble presets and whatever, but I thought there was actually a pretty wide variety, and if you're programming it yourself it's absolutely not limited to that kind of thing. It's an additive that controls like a subtractive and it has got a bunch of weird "filters" and "oscillators" that couldn't really exist outside of an additive synthesizer. All really well thought out and of course now they've just released a bunch of new modules for it so it's even better.

drat,my wallet didn't need to hear that. :negative:

They did for the whole collection, and I think it's still going on. I got it for $199 but I think someone mentioned they found it for $149 somewhere. That may have been a hallucination though.

Yeah I got the email about the collection for 149 and the classics for 69.

I only wanted the MiniMoog so I think i'll jump on the classics even if I already own the Oberheim because I'm still saving 20 bux or whatever.

Getting all those Arturia synths worked out really well, I'm slowly falling in love with each vst. Most recently it's the Prophet and the way I can squeeze out all my favorite dorky Downward Spiral NIN bass tones and drum sounds. :allears:

Bought some stuff at Plugin Boutique that was on special, Xplander 2 because it was a dollar and who cares, and 88 a piano vst.

This requires setting up an iLok account.

And so far, iLok is living up to their reputation of being ~the worst~ I can't even activate my account. :golfclap:

edit: Crisis averted. I'll stop making GBS threads on iLok so quickly I guess.

Does anybody here use Softube/Gobbler? I just got a new interface that comes with a few free plugins, but after registering everything and downloading the Gobbler client, I can't download any of them, and the Gobbler site only suggest reinstalling the client, which I've done twice now.

I fooled around with Softube Modular, and it was fun for what it is but it was a crazy resource hog, and the gobbler app by itself would chew up like a quarter of my ram (at the time).

So it kinda sucks, even when it does work.

I went back to Waves' site thinking "gently caress it, I'll buy these plugins on sale for 200 and deal with their lovely DRM just so I can get a great delay and compressor" and find they've already gone back up to full price.

I was gonna grab the CLA76, H-Delay and one of their EQs, in the end I just bought the EMI TG12345 console strip thing because it's got a pretty cool EQ, compressor and some saturation so it kinda just ticks all the "clean up my vocals for demos" purposes. Even if it isn't as amazing as all those other individual plugins.

It's basically all I ever wanted. I have to have this thing.

Yeah so I have the small version, with just the SEM, Prophet, Mini, Jupiter etc.

The only one I don't go to regularly is the ARP because I just don't get it, but the others are all a integral part of my workflow.

I literally couldn't live without the Prophet now I have a whole bunch of custom patches that are production crutches.

TAL-Dub-X is really nice and made me curious, do you guys have any favorite/must-have $10-$50 VSTs or VSTIs? I've mostly ignored that range assuming they're probably not-that-great, but I'm probably missing a lot of good stuff.

Like, I own a couple of Waves Compressors that I got on sale that are part of my work flow, but still this loving thing is amazing.

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.

What copy protection does NI use, generally? Do they have some sort of software shell or something?

I don't think Sean has ever once changed pricing on anything after release, he's very particular about them always costing the same amount for everyone. But yeah, Valhalla stuff is so loving good that it's on par with any of the big name releases so you can basically think of them all as permanently $50-$250 off depending on what you want to compare them against. Plate is the only one I can't see myself buying eventually, but only because I don't really use plate verb that much to begin with.


Also, afaik, with Valhalla you get unlimited no questions asked activations for life which is refreshing.
