T3551ER 237 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Ignore the fancy title. Mainly just thinking about how easy it is to drops loads of cash on VST's and software where, if you had to put it against a physical object, you might think twice. Question here is: Is there anything you're picking up for Black Friday that's a super steal (or that you already have, but you've noticed is a key piece of software other people should take advantage of)? I picked up NI Noire for their 50% discount sale - I had, ahem, tried it out beforehand and feel like it's my perfect piano VST - the feel of it is exactly what I want and the added bonus of the particles engine makes for some very excellent ambience. Highly recommended. Also, while I really can't justify spending any more, would note that Spitfire Audio is having their black weekend sale and pretty much all their stuff is excellent. In particular, the Olafur Arnalds instruments are great sounding w/ an interesting, sort of modular sequencer. Link to post Share on other sites
hijexx 722 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Prob gonna pick up Reason 11 Suite upgrade, it's 30% off until 11/30. I'm still on 10. Link to post Share on other sites
sheatheman 217 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good deal right now on sound toys 5 (see my thread). First time I’ve ever spent money on plugins outside of buying DAW software or iOS stuff. Very inspiring so far Link to post Share on other sites
TubularCorporation 701 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I bought a vertical VESA monitor stand on Amazon for 10% off so I can stop sharing one monitor between both computers I use when I'm streaming. That's it. Got it instead of the Sound Toys Little Plate (for about $12 less). Link to post Share on other sites

T3551ER 237 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 @ignatius cheers, bought 🙂 @sheatheman yeah, the Soundtoys bundle looks great, wish I had a little more cash. Particularly like that Jamie Lidell vid. Miter saw ftw! (Sample that shit!) @Berk totally! Their labs stuff always seems to have a high degree of quality and/or something unique about the sounds. Only recently discovered the company, really enjoy their obvious love of sound and, yeah, sort of a GAS thread but really more of a what kind of deals are out there for this particular period of time. Not trying to disturb the balance of the force so happy if mods want to merge (though it will assuredly die on its own in t-minus 5 days) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TubularCorporation 701 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think it belongs more in here than the free software thread, but Slate have a a new enhancer plugin that's free right now, so you can make everything sound bright and painful: https://app.slatedigital.com/checkout?catalogItemReferenceId=fresh-air Link to post Share on other sites
sheatheman 217 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I just bought some Jorgensen clamps from Lowe’s that weren’t on sale. I almost bought a Lenox hole saw kit for 1/2 off, but can count on one hand the times I’ve needed a hole saw, and I can usually use my jigsaw instead. oh I also got NanoStudio 2 and the synth in there is awesome. anyone know of a good comb filter plugin? Can’t believe ableton doesn’t have one Link to post Share on other sites
sweepstakes 827 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I bought a patch cable holder and a KVM switch. I think I'm going to order an 0-Coast / 0-Ctrl stand today. Apparently I'm in an ergonomic improvements phase at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
ignatius 5911 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 plug in alliance $29.99 coupon for any plug in. bought the elysia Mpressor which blew my mind. the ant-log release and autofast settings are ridiculous. very creative compressor especially when in unlinked mode. didn't expect to be impressed by a compressor but it's got some magic in it.

TubularCorporation 701 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Ended up picking up Wavesfactory Track Spacer for half off ($30) and so far it's been a really good move. I already like to use sidechained dynamic EQ for a lot of things (I like to have pads with a lot of low and low-mid and use sidechain EQ to punch holes for kick and short bass notes, for example) and this is a much more controllable, detailed way to do it. Different sound but I really like it. Only thing I wish it had was band reject on the sidechain instead of just low and high cut, so you could easily apply it to both extremes of the frequency spectrum only, without having to use a separate filter on the sidechain signal.

J3FF3R00 514 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I’m buying a bunch of homemade masks for my whole family from a neighbor that runs a shop out of her garage. Their all quite good and a few dollars off this weekend. We have a few of her masks already and we get complements everywhere we go. Shopping small/local (I know, probably not the point of this thread) but still nabbing the Black Friday weekend deals! 😎 2 Link to post Share on other sites
