NewImprov Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 To go with my Argon8X: Nice! I picked up the Modal Skulpt a few months ago when they were being blown out for $200, and I"m really digging the sound. The Cobalt looks very tempting.

Ed A. Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Nice! I picked up the Modal Skulpt a few months ago when they were being blown out for $200, and I"m really digging the sound. Yeah, IMO, all the Modal stuff have a nice grungy warmth to them, they don't sound clinical like many digital synths do. My Argon8X reminds me of the sound of my old Waldorf MWXT that I unfortunately no longer have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KuruPrionz Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Plugins - Plugin Alliance is having a sale - all but a few of their plugins are $29 with the voucher. I got the Lindell 80 an early Neve Console with 32 slightly different channels (Brainworx TMT technology). Of all the consoles on offer I disliked the interface the least and the tones available are more than enough to keep me busy. And, a Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor. About the only thing I'd still like to try is a Baxendall EQ. One of these days. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

KuruPrionz Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Since Plugin Alliance added one more day and one more chance to snag a plugin on, I went shopping - armed with the first day's discount code (which I hadn't used). After considerable listening, looking at manuals and weighing benefits and drawbacks, I went for the Brainworx Focusrite console instead of the Bax EQ. Besides a comprehensive EQ section, the Focusrite offered a suite of dynamics tools and great sounding preamps in one plugin. Being able to drop one great sounding plugin on a track instead of several mix and match components is nice. Someday I'll get a Baxendall EQ, maybe...

Falconhob Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Treated my faithful PC3x to a couple of accessories. The KORE 64 came up on the local buy and sell for $60(!) and it looks like the PC2SRIB ribbon is going out of production so scooped one for $100 off ebay. Very happy with both and hopefully this will get me through until the K2700 is shipping!

Leroy C Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just got my state income tax refund and spent a chunk of it on a couple of new mics: a Shure SM57 (to complement the SM58 I already have!) and an AKG P220. Eventually, I'd like a pair of AKG P170s and a Shure PGA52 so I can do a better job of mic'ing my wife's drumset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Emm Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I've been falling prey to Mini-GAS in small increments, DAW-style. First it was the Cloud D-50, then the K1v (Kawai) emulation, then Spitfire's Core (holy bleep), then Valhalla's Delay and Supermassive (the first to 'pay' a bit for the freebie of the second), an update for Chromaphone 3 and Pianoteq 7 is knocking at the door. Then another backup disk. Then Satan keeps trying to make me buy a soft-CS-80. So much for trying to maintain a MODEST stack, huh? If that was all hardware, I'd be up to my navel in it. It'd look like one of Michael Boddicker's side rooms. I'm trying to decide if I can justify taking the MPE leap with the 2-octave ROLI, but at this point, tackling Equator 2, a cup of coffee and a piece of @$$ would probably kill me. Then I couldn't take up Pianoteq. Quote "I want to be an intellectual, but I don't have the brainpower.

MAJUSCULE Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Curious to hear your thoughts, Prof. I've had a Maschine Studio for a few years and haven't jived with it too much.
