IK Multimedia Sunset Sound Reverb

I did the same - I think it was $35 on their site using the free JamPoints they gave - great deal.  

Here's another mini IK Rant . They let you use JamPoints up to a 30% discount which is absolutely fine, the thing is, they don't tell you what that is so there is a box that says "How Many JamPoints do you want to use?" and you have to type in a number and it says "Nah, too many" so then you type in less and it's like "nope" rinse and repeat until you get it right.  Obviously I could do 30% of $50 but I could see how if you were spending $114.93 it could require you to break out the old abacus. LOL

Here's the ISO booth. Great idea. This really helps my smallish room for this type of acoustic guitar material, so much better than what I'm used to dealing with.

Microphone is a single Aurycle DIY mic that I'm repairing for a friend. I believe (?) that I successfully cleaned the dirty diaphragm with distilled water and a delicate paintbrush.

Got a little tonebooster EQ, Sunset Sound ISO booth, and a limiter on the end, that's it.

Probably could have moved a little closer to the microphone, oh well, just a test.

aaah sh*t ... it just got back to it's normal price ... it was like 50 euro and now it's 120 euro again ... missed it.

There’s a good demo of it being used here.

Man, I’m so with you. Every experience I have trying to buy from them I walk away scratching my head. I wonder how many sales they’ve lost.

I use their B4 Hammond Organ (which is really fantastic) and their Sunset Reverb.

The download manager is truly dreadful - it needs to be tamed.

Don't allow it to install the "shop"
Don't allow it to install any "free" sample tank stuff

Ride it like a wild horse - it can be tamed.

If I can do it, anyone can

I downloaded the install manager and all it will show me is what I already have (like 6 random free things). I don’t see any way to browse for new things to download/try.

heheh jeez

All of this is a non-starter for me as far as using anything IK

Thanks for digging that up notneeson

I kind of gave up on Acustica for similar reasons. Too much of a pain in the ass to deal with.

I've been kind of on a mission to make workflows as easy as possible and, to a point, I will even accept a slight decrease in sonics to have stuff that works versus stuff that may be sounds slightly better, but is always a complete nightmare to deal with. It's just not worth it to me anymore.

And I used to be the guy who would give hard stares when somebody else would say something like that. . Part of the difference these days, I suppose, is that, to a certain extent, you don't have to make such hard compromises between sonics and workflow anymore, in ways that one might have had to do back in the day.

I've kind of settled on UAD as my primary source of plugins, with a few others from other companies (Tokyo Dawn, Soundtoys, etc.) sprinkled in, and that's it. And even then, I probably only use about half of those UAD plugins, and I have those that I do use set up on individual buttons on my Stream Deck so I can insert them on a channel in one push of a button, just like they were in a physical rack.

The constant search for the next new plugin thing has gotten old too. Not that I'll completely give up on checking out new plugins, this new Sound City plugin being a prime example, but, these days, give me shit that just works and is quick and easy to set up and adjust. It's not worth the creative drain to go down technical rabbit holes trying to find something or get something to work.

You also gotta watch out for the storage bloat of the download files (in some path I can never remember but always shows up containing like 10 gigs when using Whatsize to clean up my HD).  I also have an issue with their shady upgrade offers, very much the same as Izotope in that you're offered things you already have and figuring out exactly what you have vs you're getting is purposely shrouded and confusing.  Last 'upgrade' I ended up in a back and forth when I realized it didn't add anything new but then if I were to be refunded I'd lose things I already was using in sessions before the 'upgrade'?!  In the end I just decided they can keep the money as it wasn't worth it to continue dealing with their customer disservice agent.  

Yikes…
