Ha, the TC 2240. Did a circuit analysis at university. A super simple, super cheap circuit design with NE553x buffers and TL084 quad opamps (not even the low-noise TL074 but the engineers knew that at low gain it wouldn't make a difference). Great sound nonetheless, that's great engineering. I've built a few tiny SMD PCBs to be used with hardcoded resistors for active loudspeaker EQ correction...

 

i was thinking to update to cubase 11 but it dont works on WIN 7
or to buy a korg pa4x but no sale on it
so i decided to buy some clothes

 

I buy Plugin Doctor, MDE et AR-1 during the Black Friday

I will buy the Arousor the day they stop with their Ilok Dongle and the VSC-3 and the DS1-MK3 when they decide to make a fair price.

 

I updated my FL Studio to the all plugins version.
I considered a bunch of Glitchmachines stuff but did not pull the trigger.
I would have grabbed izotope Breaktweaker for $10 if I didn't have it already.
I DID also buy both Soundspot Union stab & pad expansions (they are not on the sister site).
I did skip the AIR plugins sale based on his suggestion, but I bet @5teezo would disapprove of the Soundspot buy based on this:

dramazone just kidding

 

phos is better on the highs resonance stuff and abl3 better on low end

 

Ah that's why it was free

Hmz, but I would probably add a lot of distortion over it
Might go for the cheaper one for now I think. Time to wrap up this years BF.

 

FL all plugin is it worthy? does it include the pack for directwave?

 

well a couple of subscriptions like Music Maker loops unlimited by only a month and the Loopcloud $1 for month promo
also a small keyboard m-audio Axiom Air 32 mini (great portability with functionality), some pluginboutique stuff and some Daz3D stuff

 

I'm super freaking thrilled with the Waves CLA Echosphere. Can't believe how well it compliments my mixes. It was the free plugin during black Friday. So much gratitude for this one!

 

I bought Soothe lmao. It was decently on sale for $160 when it's normally $220.

 

If you mean the Directwave instrument pack, as far as I can tell, no, but that instrument pack is $19 & sounds dated to me anyway. I was able to access the free selection version, which has 276 out of the 440 instruments. Besides the instrument pack, I was able to get directwave free selection versions of: wiselabs guitar loops, varazdin orchestral, sounds of india, axe forge, and amped. But honestly I don't care because I collect & focus on Kontakt libraries.

And as far as FL Studio all plugins version, I think it is a bit overkill for me. I mainly upgraded for collab purposes & to continue supporting Image-line as I like their DAW & have been using it for 10 years now. But really unless you use their synths like Harmor it is unnecessary, for most people producer edition is fine.

For me I mainly work with 3rd party stuff. I use lots of Kontakt instruments, Lounge Lizard EP-4, Battery & Toontrack for drums, tons of free VSTs, a couple Serum knockoffs, izotope stutter edit & nectar, fabfilter pro q2, a bit of auto-tune, serato sample.

The extra bells & whistles of FL Studio all plugins edition don't do much for me, but just better facilitate collabs with other producers that do use those synths & features.

 

Spend about 8 Euros on Exponential Audio' Excalibur and got D16 Drumazon on top for free. Crazy world.

 

Hey man let me know how those are! I got both of those too but at this rate I probably won't get to them for at least a year.
edit: I got Excalibur in a bundle this summer with a bunch of izotope stuff like stutter edit and breaktweaker. And I got Drumazon as a bonus buying some Soundspot Union expansions you said not to buy lol
