The BEST Black Friday Deals and FREE Plugins

"I'm talking about Waves" and I just nearly spat my drink across my desk🤣

[@AlexReidStudios]

lol

[@jenstornell]

@@MattPerrin Everything on Waves seems to always cost 29 bucks. Then some extra when changing computer.

[@KordTaylor]

That was crazy hilarious 😂

[@ronleak1968]

@@jenstornellno extra if on PC…Mac users should stay away

[@Windiguana]

Completely agree about the TDR stuff, it's all so good (don't let the prices fool you). Another huge recommendation for TDR Kotelnikov GE

[@AlexReidStudios]

I got all of their plugins except Nova

[@Maradnus]

Agreed! crazy good! WAY above their price range. Tone Boosters also!

[@JoeySokol]

Melda wasn’t mentioned. They have some killers deals right now on individual and bundled plugins that I love so much 🤘🤠

[@AlexReidStudios]

Melda is dope

[@CarlitoProductions]

Zyklop is great. I have Dawesome Kult and was a bit overwhelmed by Myth. The synth is like a stripped down version with the essentials and one oscillator, but you can get amazing sounds out of it

[@AlexReidStudios]

I'm impressed by it, gonna be using it a lot

[@KordTaylor]

Yes! The Arturia V Collection is such a go to for me and my son. All those vintage synths for cheap. Only other night be Cherry Audio.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Cherry Audio synth stack just keep getting bigger, and the individual synths are lower in price. But I love both

[@GillamtheGreatest]

good list. I definitely agree the tdr stuff is a great deal. i wish i had got it for that price.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Aw man, at least you got them. With them you are set

[@urniurl]

Cheers. There were a couple there I didn't know about, really good ones :)

[@AlexReidStudios]

Nice, which ones?

[@urniurl]

@AlexReidStudios TDR & Dawesome.

[@AlexReidStudios]

@urniurl I will always recommend TDR. Since I got Kotelnikov and Limiter 6 I don't feel I need any other compressor or limiter

[@GermanFragEditing]

Knif Audio Soma or AME EQ 200?

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@GermanFragEditing I had the same question. I liked Soma better, it has more musical and subtle curves

[@burongaroso2538]

[@axoplanet6081]

None of them

Thank you!

[@PeteGunnShow]

I had AD2 in my cart, downloaded the demo, played around with it and almost bought it cause i love XO. And then i remembered i bave Mdrummer already, so for once i actually said no to the new plugin and just took the time to learn mdrummer.. which took me forever to get to a point where i can use it competently and i am really loving it for acoustic drums.

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@PeteGunnShow Haven't tried MDrummer. I've used SSD 5.5 for a while now but got tires of the sounds, too similar. AD is a great upgrade for me

[@PeteGunnShow]

@AlexReidStudios AD2 sounded so good. Like I said, I think i even had the credit card info punched in and decided to learn mdrummer. If you don't already use the melda stuff or have the complete bundle tho, I can't reccomend it. Their stuff has such a steep learning curve. I spend the better part of 2-3 days learning mdrummer. Maybe I'm dumb, but it was really hard to grasp how it all worked. I also think the melda stuff doesn't have the sparkle that the new AD2 update has. But mdrummer gives you access to almost all the melda stuff as snap in plugins, think of phaseplant but its melda, that's how msoundfactory, mpowersynth, mdrummer and their version of snap heap MXXX are. So if you get the bundle it can be a powerful sound design tool. My go to drum sounds tho are - -Drumcomputer if I wanna get weird -XO if I need to find a sound or just want a quick loop -triaz if I want something in between And now mdrummer if I want acoustic drums Also since jumping into bitwig, I use alot of their stock drumming options as well, which i never did in reaper.

[@GermanFragEditing]

I want to buy only one TDR plugin. Which should I get, Kotelnikov GE or Molot? Also I cant see that 10€ deal on Molot. I think I deleted the email by accident

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@GermanFragEditing Molot is on audiodeluxe. From those the one I use the most is Kotelnikov, it's very versatile

[@burongaroso2538]

Kotelnikov GE!

[@Beatsbasteln]

rhodes pianos are one of the few types of instruments that actually sound better to me when they are being synthesized with physical modelling algorithms rather than as a multisampler, because then every single velocity value has its own unique sound character and they all transition to each other seamlessly, which makes it super easy to design an expressive composition even if the accuracy of the overall sound quality is limited when you can't just playback actual recordings of real rhodes pianos.

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@Beatsbasteln That's right, that's why it feels so expressive

[@Beatsbasteln]

@AlexReidStudios the one in your video is sample-based. that's why i'm wondering how expressive it is. the audio example you put there layers the rhodes with some other stuff that makes it a bit hard to hear what comes from the rhodes plugin though

[@AlexReidStudios]

@Beatsbasteln oh shit, I misunderstood. Which one is physically modeled?

[@Beatsbasteln]

@@AlexReidStudios mrtramp, evp73 and lounge lizard are. there are some more that i don't remember rn

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@Beatsbasteln Lounge Lizard is great

[@daviHuggMonster]

I only got a few fabfilter that I do want to get, so if the only do black friday sales...well it will take a while to get those I want hehe. But I will go for Triaz, I thought about live and addictive drums but live was weird and the cloud thing I don't trust to much, for drums,well don't use much of realistic drums so maybe the addictive is for next year

[@AlexReidStudios]

Those are great opportunities too

[@ArtEntity]

can u make a rabbit plugin

[@MattPerrin]

I still can't decide between V Collection and Analog Lab Pro upgrades... It's $100 difference between my deals, but I am not sure I really need or would use V to it's fullest.

[@AlexReidStudios]

As I said, if you have 4 or 5 instruments you would use regularly, then go for it, if not then Analog Lab Pro is a great option. Also think that the Collection right now is missing the Synthx and the Minibrute, and I think they are in Analog Lab

[@peoplelikefrank]

The V Collection includes AL Pro.

[@axoplanet6081]

If you have just AL Pro, you can‘t tweak the sounds in much detail. If you own VC, you have AL Pro and you can open all synths and tweak them in AL Pro. For me just AL makes no sense. But the VC is so much, you will not use all. I sold mine and wait for a good deal on u-he Diva because of the better sound quality.

[@jenstornell]

I just bought ArcSyn. Very nice synth on sale now on Audio Plugin Deals. About 18 bucks. Else it's 100 bucks. I am not very good at sound design. Still I made a few sounds from scratch with it. Maybe check that one out.

[@Emily_M81]

the developer is very quick and helpful. It stuck the name from the credit card on the synth's UI and he changed it for me with no questions asked.

[@AlexReidStudios]

It looks like a very complete synth

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

I've been pondering D16's emulations for a while now, but they just overlap too much with what I already have. I am interested in their drum sample pack that's also 50% off right now to throw on my SP-404, however. Oh, and speaking of Rhodes, it's interesting that they made the Cherry Audio emulation official. I use CA synths more often than Arturia, so it's nice to see them getting more attention. I also can't wait to see what they're announcing next week.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Yeah that's great for them. Next week is going to be a nice addition

[@kevinjackson7539]

Avoid Waves like the plague l have just about everyone of their plugins and it cost me over $260 just for the pleasure of switching from Pc to Mac

[@AlexReidStudios]

Yeah I get you. I will still using them until they break, but won't ever pay for WUP

[@kevinjackson7539]

@ l love the plugins but l wish the upgrade price was reasonable

[@AlexReidStudios]

@kevinjackson7539 I hope that with the subscription they realize WUP is no longer needed

[@sam-t1v9r]

fair child comp is like 30 bucks rn

[@AlexReidStudios]

Worth going for it imo

[@axoplanet6081]

Don‘t buy too much plugins! Less is more and they all want just your best… your money.

[@AlexReidStudios]

That's true! Take your time to consider if the hype is for a sale or because you truly want the plugin
