AudioThing 13th Anniversary Sale 35% off all plugins

Post by stubbsonic »

I didn't see a date when this sale ends. AudioThing (IMHO) hits a sweet spot between practical sounds with a sort of eclectic twist. I'm a huge fan of their Fog Convolver plugin-- which is an inexpensive alternative to Altiverb, for convolution. It's easy to use and understand. The included library isn't "wonderous" per se, but my standards are pretty high in that regard. With a bit of effort you can find many a glorious impulse response online and be good to go.

AudioThing also has some nice mechanical reverb sims, too. Bunches of plugs that will stink up your imagination with that burning tube smell.

Re: Fuse Audio Compressor

Post by bayswater »

Intro price is $29 instead of $59. Yet another compressor but looks interesting. Does expansion and compression on the same control and appears to be able to ignore threshold. I always wondered why this isn’t more common.

Kompose Audio Arcturus Kontakt Instrument - FREE

Post by James Steele »

This one requires full version of Konakt and is FREE, but you have to "purchase" the free instrument at Kompose Audio's site, so I guess they'll get an email. They'll send you a code which you redeem and then download with Pulse Downloader. Honestly it sounds pretty good. Basically the ethereal sustainy pad kind of thing.

LOUDER, but not compressed
When you need a track or mix louder, do you slap a compressor or limiter on it, squash it and crank up the gain? Yes, it gets louder, but does it sound, well... good?

Puff Puff mixPass makes your signal louder by enhancing its harmonic structure to increase the apparent loudness to your ear. Yes, it sounds louder, but it’s not crushed with zilch dynamic range and that typical overcompressed flatness. The Puff Puff actually brings back dynamics and adds a warm, analog liveliness that usually requires a room full of tube equipment to emulate.

The Puff Puff mixPass does all this with some clever waveshaping and two sliders.

GForce Oberheim DMX VI just dropped. $24.99 Intro Price

Post by James Steele »

GForce Oberheim DMX VI just dropped. $24.99 Intro Price

Just read on another forum that the Oberheim DX drum machine plug just came out. The post was from D-Fused sounds and was only about 27 minutes old. In fact, there's no mention of this product yet on GForce's website, but they do have a video on YouTube that was unlisted (it's linked off D-Fuse's page below:)

https://d-fusedsounds.com/gforce-oberheim-dmx




NOTE: If you do purchase this (as I did), be aware that you may be waiting a while for fulfillment. I received email confirmation of my order very quickly. Then, another "Order Update" email telling me I'd get download/installation info soon. Well it's nearly half-an-hour since my purchase and nothing yet. I suspect registering licenses might be done manually? GForce itself is in the UK IIRC, so I hope I don't need to wait till it's business hours across the pond! LOL
