Sounds Toys sale is now live

Also reduced upgrades, so if you get the free Radiator, it's only a $19 upgrade to the full!  Win!

Also if you get the Free Little Radiator they give you an extra discount on the full bundle because you are an existing customer

Anyone use Soundtoys and rate them?

I'm kind of tempted even though I just bought the Arturia FX3

They are ex-Eventide folk.

Never knew that...do love those plugs. 

I bought it. 

It's very good although I didn't "need" it as the Arturia collection is very good. 

I also bought Fabfilter L2 as I don't really like Izotope Ozone and I'm super impressed with that so far.

You can tell they are ex Eventide folks as a few of the plugins like the widener and formant processor are based on Eventide tech.

Eventide had a bunch of stuff on sale in the Black Friday sales.

There's quite a good deal on Modo Max at the moment. If you've puchased IK products in that past, it's worth logging on and checking what deal you can get.

I was looking to upgrade Modo Bass to Modo Bass 2 and found I could get Modo Max (Modo Bass 2 plus Modo Drums 1.5) for only 99.99 euros, plus I had some Jampoints which brought it down to 86.99 euros.

It would be for vocal or guitar harmonies - my timing is notoriously all over the place as I'm a solo pianist at heart so I can pull the timing around as much as I like and call it "rubato". It's fine when I'm singing/playing solo with no precise timing required as it just sounds expressive (or I pretend to myself that it does). I love writing harmonies but never record them as I don't have the timing ability to get them right. I love the sounds of Jacob Collier in particular, and the millions of doubles on Billie Eilish's stuff, was thinking that some tight close vocal harmonies would add something new and interesting to my recordings but i don't have time to retrain myself to sing in time haha

Sorry I missed this.
You can't really get that with a plugin without also doing loads of work on the vocals.
The plugins are good but they are not going to make it sound like that.

I don't know anything about Billy Eillish.

Billy Eillish sometimes does multi tracked harmonies, but sometimes it's done with Sound Toys little Alter Boy to make pitch shifted harmonies.

Fabfilter is on sale again

https://www.fabfilter.com/

Picked up Q-2 and C-2 

Both bloody fantastic. Remixed one of my tracks and already think it sounds much better.

i love q-2

Yeah, I don't use EQ as much as I should, but I just find Q-2 really lovely and intuitive to work with.

+ 20% VAT ?

Plus VAT, but once you work out the conversion from dollars to sterling it’s normally around the same.

thanks Macca, good to know that was what others were seeing too :-)
($25 + vat = $30 == about £25)

It's probably been mentioned but Amplitube 5 Max is currently going for 99 euros. Which is a bargain.

After much looking I eventually went for the full Output pack with all the Fx and expansions….I’m convinced it will produce hit after Hit !

Thanks both, I see what you mean Oct but I'm not necessarily hoping to sound like Collier as such, just that I enjoy really tight homophonic harmony and thought the Vocalign would be good to tighten up the timing. I used to write vocal and piano based harmony stuff a lot as a kid/early 20s and i was good at it but couldn't sing then, and then I got into music where harmony was not cool and sounded cheap and trashy. I'm doing more of it with piano with my recent wedding playing, and finding I'm naturally one of the styles I'm doing without thinking is this homophonic (edit, I will need to be more careful typing that word in future!) chordal harmony along to the rhythm, so I'd like to encourage myself.

The demos seem to do that, putting two or three parts really close together in rhythm. Perhaps my name dropping of specific sounding singers meant I didn't explain myself very well.

I'm pretty sure I have one of the Alter Boy things Monq, from a previous black Friday thing, so I'll have a little look into that

Amplitube Mesa Boogie 2 is on offer for $29.99. Plus you can use any jam points you have for up 30% off the price.

I got Amplitube 5 Max in an offer last month but it didn't include Mesa Boogie 2. Worth completing the collection for that low price.

Thanks.  I did the same only to find that loads of the patches I tried needed that pack.  Just bought it
