There's certainly A LOT of money being made with all the tests and things being sold. Definitely a reason to push it.

Always always follow the money. Humans lie - money trails don't.

As usual, it costs me money when I post here

But, Falcon for $100 was a no brainer. I haven't dug into it, and that will probably take me some time. But, it's opened a door to my old MachFive library, which opens the door to all of my old Roland CD ROMs that I converted years ago. So, outside of the $100 voucher, I have an 80 Gig library on hand that I couldn't use before.

This seems like the perfect tool for using my old samples and one shots.

I don't see why not!

Does it load Mach five patches or is it just at the sample level?
I converted all my old Roland S760 stuff to M5 a long time ago. Not sure if that’s worth waking up anymore or not. They’ve made a lot of progress in sampling since then.

All the deletions, for when you forget that this website is Strictly Commercial.

Lol. To get back on track - Boz Digital Lab's Panther is currently on sale on AD for $19 and since I am after a stereo widening plugin at the moment I think I will demo this against the others I have been trying out.

Anyone have any experience of this one? Cheers.

check out the grain of sand theory. probably be a few grains inside the oyster shell....unless you’d totally washed ya hands of the mixbox !

Some oyster farmers would go around putting grains of sand in 'em.

So my Boss DM-2w has a wet out and a dry out. I can run my amp's XLR or preamp out into one input, and the dry out which has no delay or reverb effects on it, and then use two inputs in my DAW with trusty DC8C3 by Klanghelm as my go-to side chainer keying in the dry signal to control the compression action of the wet signal and get a chain of three delays and three reverbs (all three reverbs have pitch altering effects as well) to then duck according to how I configure the side chain behavior.

This sounds so freaking cool the future is amazing.

Made the mistake of hitting up a favorite used music gear shop today, I'm... probably going to get a Walrus Bellwether because can you really have too many awesome BBD analog delays? I mean, think on that question, before you say yes understand that they are BBD analog delays we're talking about here, not turds in a punchbowl, okay, this is some good stuff. GOOD STUFF. 'Bout $170 off the usual price for one. But I gotta spend some time with it again to be sure - have to run by there Tuesday afternoon, closed for the holiday tomorrow and Monday. I also set up tentative plans to jam with another musician there who runs a studio in town and plays guitar also in a couple bands that gig, here's hoping that pans out - I'd love to get out there in the local scene and do my thing musically

@ Agreed I had a listen to the Bellwether, it didn't sound as good as my DOD Rubberneck, nothing I've heard does, and I've heard a lot of BBD delays. The Rubberneck has everything I want in an analog delay. I got it cheaper from Thomann.

Oh yeah? Thanks for your thoughts squig, never tried the DOD but I do quite like my dm-2w, which is a BBD also with up to 800ms of time - I'll bring it with me when I go back to make my decision and see if I think there's a compelling reason to get it head to head.

I'm a big fan of Toneczar pedals, but they are pricey - I'd love to have one of his Echoczar pedals. First analog delay pedals with more than a second of delay time, very carefully designed with clever controls, but man $800 is a big investment. Back in 2004 when it was introduced there was nothing like it, these days there are options for interesting analog delays. I can't get enough of the sound - don't get me wrong, I love digital delays and delays that model quirks and unusual characteristics (love the OBNE Black Fountain V3, as a for-instance), but there really is something special about how a BBD handles the signal.

I like the DM-2w a lot too, probably my second fav BBD to the DOD. Featurewise, the Rubberneck slays the DM-2w. I got the Rubberneck for the same price as a DM-2w. There's some good youtube shootous between the Rubberneck and the DMB, and the Carbon Copy Deluxe.

in buddho-speak what I think this idea or reality is called is "Indra's Net."

a web of jewels in which all things are reflected in all other things

or that the smallest thing contains every other thing

and so on!

I am you and you are me

Lose small mind!

The Rubberneck has 1.5 seconds of delay time and momentary regen control, it's a dub monster.

The manual says it does, but I have nothing to test it with. If you want, I can test a patch and see if it loads and render a piece of MIDI so you can check it it is what to be expected.

Solid State Logic SSL Native Drumstrip: $19.99
https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products...tive-drumstrip

Thanks for the heads up - I only have their Vocal Strip thus far but I might get this one and there are 15 days left to decide so no hurry.

I have it and to tell the truth I hardly use all of it when I do use it. For me the gate settings drive me crazy trying to figure it out. I'm used to gates that have a threshold control and a hysteresis control not separate open and close controls.

I didn't know that discussions about covid weren't allowed here; I know that discussions about the Ukraine situation aren't allowed.

I use this plugin on every mix, the LF/HF drive is so useful on vocals, bass, drums, guitars. Really easy to use with the sweepable frequencies, dry/wet mix etc

I got this on the last sale and really like it. Adds some mojo for drums that really works nice. $19.99 is a good price for all it can do imo, and of course even less if have any deluxebucks to use.

It will not add the SUMMER22 code to the cart in this deal.

Ok. I revised my post. Usually, when the plugin has the banner (although says *exceptions), it gives the discount. Since I have it, I didn’t actually put in my cart, though.

Are you sure you don't want another one?

A bit like the joke where a guy rubs a lamp and a genie pops out to give him three wishes, so he wishes for a never ending pint of beer. Sure enough he gets to the bottom of his pint and it magically refills itself. He says "It's great that! I wish for another two of those!"

Today I am able to approach my gear again, however currently I am developing throat issues.

The plugin I got with my recent 8+5 UAD Custom Bundle purchase which has the biggest impact is the Precision Enhance kHz I was refusing to pay money for previously. Certain elements really need to cut through in the upper department without actually becoming too loud in the high frequency range.

BTW when using the Noveltech Vocal Enhancer before I found it perfectly usable, however only in the range up to around 0,9% (while it goes to 100%). It's indeed strange.

SSL X-Gate also on sale this month for $89.
Has a lot for a gate, but more than I want to spend for yet another.
And haven’t needed a gate as complex, unless I am missing something.

You sound like one of those weirdos that demos plugins before buying them.

Usually when it says that, it is already input before checkout by them. If it's not, then the deal doesn't apply.
A bit of a silly way to run it, really, they shouldn't have the banner on the items it doesn't apply to.

Do they really exist... I thought it was just another Urban Myth
