Re: Stutter Edit/BreakTweaker

I don’t have much use for Stutter Edit, but $49 for BreakTweaker+ seems like a really good deal.

Bought that awhile back for the same price to use on a project. Not sure what I’ll use them for now that it’s done.

I need to get out more.

HOT TIP, FYI...

Waves (who have a lot of their plugins on sale right now) are offering an ADDITIONAL half off with the code HALFOFF.

For example, I just picked up their brand new Flow Motion FM Synth, which was going for $49 (half off the usual $99), and the code allowed me to halve it again, taking the cost down to $24.50.

The also sent me a "Refer A Friend" link, if you want to try that, which may give you an additional, additional 10% off:

https://www.waves.com/r/aax985

(I actually don't know if you can double up on the discounts with this additional 10% off, but I do know the HALFOFF works on top of the already ON SALE prices you see there.)


Seems like a great new synth and a great deal, or they have a bunch of others on sale right now. I recommend the Abbey Road Chambers (although it is a bit of a CPU hog). Many other great deals to choose from.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Unfortunately there's a message above the coupon-code field in the shopping cart that says, "Enter Coupon Code (limit one per order)", Babz.

Looks like a great synth 'though, and probably worth it for the presets alone, which number over 1000.

This is a hardware sale, and more related to guitars, but I thought I'd mention it here.

There's a company called Decibel Eleven https://decibel11.com that sells guitar effects & accessories. Two of their products were interesting to me: Switch Dr and Pedal Palette. Their website is having a clearance sale, and both of these are heavily discounted.

Switch Dr is loop switcher (effect send/return loop), with 4 loops. It does other functions including sending MIDI program changes, and CC values per preset. For someone with moderate effect setup, this rig may have some useful features for some. Lists $425, on sale for $139 (+10 shipping, US only)

Pedal Palette is also a loop switcher and has 4 loops. But rather than focusing on MIDI functions, the PP gives you the ability to switch orders of loops, switchable parallel paths, and preserve tails. I don't think all of the functions are storable in presets, but the basic functions are. It's got a pretty impressive feature set. Lists for $560, on sale for $159 (+10 shipping, US only)

U-he is having a NKS support sale!

Post by kgdrum »

Now this to me is a no brainer if you don't have them..... U-he is having a NKS support sale!
Wow!! This is an AMAZING DEAL!

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/s ... ffer-2019/

I already have everything offered here except Presswork,anyone who doesn't have these true gems should grab this without hesitation.
U-he makes truly some of the best soft synth and effects in the marketplace.IMO U-he is a great company with 1st class stellar support.
I assume they will release Zebra3 with NKS support so they didn't bother w/ Z2 and HZ.
I'm a bit surprised they didn't include Bazille another awesome beast.
The only U-he synth I don't have Hive will be updated, the Hive2 release is expected in about 2 months so I assume Hive2 will include NKS support when released.
I'll say it again WOW!

Have to agree, Repro-1 & 5 and Diva are probably the best two emulations of the analog sound out there.
I own all their instruments, at the very least folks should check out Diva and Repro 1.

Trash 2 is a great distortion plug for adding definition to bass.

I don’t want to think what I paid for Iris years ago. Very interesting instrument.

I totally agree, Mike. Sort of enlightening tool when you don't want that very deep dub bass sound.

These products are all over the web at the same no-brainer cost. I thought I'd check out Iris 2, and found a lot of the help videos link to 404 pages.

End of product life? Yet, at $29, I'll give it a shot.

One can never know for sure of course, but when it comes to iZotope it's usually a matter of the company's uber-slow update cycle and not an EOL situation.
