Lots of reports of server hijinks the last few days during the sale.

They gave me a second voucher. Anything in the 49 bucks area that is worth investing. The SSL E Strip sounds great for a plug in...

I admire the Slate bundle. We all ask for great prices and he has beyond delivered...but I just don’t find myself choosing it over other things. I own bcc which I have used consistently for several years, but comparing it to this, there’s no comparison.

Doing across-the-mix bypass blind ABs, I always pick the non-VCC version. And when I pull up VMR for EQs/comps, I just kinda have a meh-option-overload feeling. What honestly keeps me in the bundle is the other stuff. Repeater, Lustrous Plates, TH-U, etc. But I constantly think about ditching it. It's big value for the money if you use all the bread and butter Slate stuff only, but that's not really what I do.

Yeah I like Repeater...but Valhalla Delay has Ben really great I’m demoing that too, for that exact reason (deciding whether to ditch the Slate bundle) and yeah, great plug.

Don’t know if it’s quite as intuitive...but i think it’s just a learning curve. You tried some of the doubler presets? Killer.

The trouble with all plug ins is they are really just code messin with your actual analog sound.
How many times can you manipulate the original sound before it just doesn’t sound right anymore.
Is code really musical ?

Is code really musical ? But everything is digital at some point, so couldn’t you say that about everything? It’s why I have always thought conversion was so important. Get that wrong and well... Actually, as I type that I’m thinking - none of what we’re doing is analog. It starts that way, but DAW’s are digital. Period. Pretty freaking amazing when you think about it. I literally have zero idea how physical sound is turned into 1’s and 0’s. And then back into physical sound again.

just picked up Lindell TE-100 eq plug for $9...…. I think that's the best deal I've managed in the software world.

I literally have zero idea how physical sound is turned into 1’s and 0’s. And then back into physical sound again. Good points, most of our work starts off analogue and goes back to analogue when we listen to it( real frequencies in air). My point was really about the multitude of times digital code post AD and pre DA is affecting the original output from the AD, no doubt actually introducing mathematical error, artifacts, etc, vs using actual HW ( granted it has its own inconsistencies!). I know plug ins are good, handy and convenient, but I like using my OB gear a lot. Whrn Justin mastered my record to his ampex 102, that was a revelation to me, as prior to hearing that , I would have argued that UA 102 plug in is one of the best in the world. I still think it great but it didn’t sound anything like the real thing and sonically the sound quality and texture is very different with the real ampex soundly beating the plug in. I still use plug ins, of course, but find I use much less than before I had my OB, which I use for tracking and mixing.

The question of whether or not "code can be musical" is just the question of whether or not the hardware it's emulating can be musical and how well or poorly the code models it.

I bought bx_refinement and bx_XL V2 as well. Really dig both.
Quite a Brainworx infusion but I dunno, the stuff just impresses me. I've been wanting something to sound the way the bx_opto does on vocals for quite awhile. bx_refinement kinda sounds like what I wish tape emulations sounded like.

Not certain, I am truly a believer that code is identical to the real thing and that digital coding is benign, but plugs are certainly convenient and sound good. I am though, in the less is more camp, but what really matters is that we all have workflows that work for us and get us our desired results.

I felt like I should grab something before the sale ended, so I got the Mastering plugin for $49 after watching a demo video. Besides sounding great, it has metering that shows you peak, average and DR reading so you know what you're doing, even if you don't understand it. Looking forward to trying it out.

Hey Don, I find it to be great for making "quick masters" for bands. So they can leave with something that is loud enough that they can be OK with it. It's really quite fast working in it. Limited possibilities but very easy work-flow make it my go to. I used to do quick masters with Ozone but this gets similar results with much less messing around. I'm not sure I would use it on a full album as the mastering processor, but for a quick level boost to get in the loudness ballpark, it's ideal.
