Here's my list Maybe someone will talk me out of this before it all starts
1. Arousor LITE to full update
2. Liquidsonics Cinematic Rooms and Seventh Heaven updates to pro
3. UAD API2500
4. UAD Distressor (I like both by UAD and by Empirical Labs)
5. Oeksound Spiff

That's it
What's on your list?

- VOS SlickEQ as latest addition to my collection of TDR plugins

Also got the UVI Model D piano as a freebie.

I also picked up the Halloween Vpre from BRA, completing my BRA bundle too. The subscription code worked for me again so I got it for $15.

What's everyone working on at the moment?

I also signed up for at minimum 1 month of the PA forever 29 sub primarily for Kirchoff when it arrives but might do 2-3 as I'm also considering Looptrotter, Oven and Silver bullet when it arrives. Also considered Soothe but the price makes me want to wait until next year.

Waiting on the following to be on a very good sale but also not in a rush as some of these are pretty pricey and I'm going to be ordering parts for a computer build here pretty soon. Thinking Intel i5-12400, 64gb ram, 2TB SSD. A little unsure on which motherboard to buy for around $100 but looking at MSI, As Rock and Asus...any recommendations?

Also considering a decent $100 case and looking at NvXT H510 and H210 mini itx, Corsair 4000d, Antec Nx410, Lian Lee 011 Mini, Fractal Meshify C, Cooler Master NR200p and Phanteks P400a. This is a tough choice and holding up my ordering as I don't have much experience building computers though I'm knowledgeable about how they work. Don't want something too loud so not sure all these high flow options are a good route as they might be overkill. Looking for something that's a good mix of quiet and cool and trying to sort through them has been tough.

Sooner:
Quantum Evo
Kelvin
Unisum
Magic Death Eye
Kush Novatron, Omega
Softube Germanium
Cinematic Rooms Pro
Soundtoys Effect Rack

Later:
Tai Chi
Adaptiverb
Gullfoss
Softube Zener
Valhalla Delay
Soothe

Then there's the label part. And finally, the fear of giving your idea's away for someone else to beat you to it.

Maybe not so much for all genres, but with pop, this is definitely tricky.

I recently shared one of my work in progress songs on our discord chat. Happy to share more there, but on a persistent platform like a forum, I can only post released songs.

Edit: Now I remember that one of them is the U17, I enjoy it on bass and vocals so far.

She knows I have a LOT of other Arturia stuff and that I use them quite a bit. Asked if I was going to buy it and I mentioned the price for the Piano and the Trio and she said to get the Trio. Got to love her. Purchase and install went just fine. Interesting that with Strings being I already had the freebie Intro Strings there was no download of material - just the license which was part of the bundle.

BTW - Is everyone getting regular email notifications of postings in this thread? Not I and nothing in the Spam bucket either.

Comparing zen3 and Alder lake or zen4 and raptor lake... Intel is faster and cheaper, and raptor lake is compatible with more (some cheaper) parts on the market vs zen4.

Yeah, I agree Ryzen 7000 is an upgrade from previous gen, but I think it will lose this gen's shootout, AMD is already planning to scale back production of ryzen 7000 due to lack of sales and lackluster reviews overall. Next gen AM5 chips might be a better contest.

It has been very good so far for my purposes and I am hoping that it will last me many more years to come.

P.S. Good luck with your new computer build @ St Thomas - it can be an anxious time but well worth it when you get it all set up.
