Default Re: CRAZY Waves Deal - 2 plugins for $30!

It’s my daughter’s birthday, I’m already tapped out. Pity.

I’ve over driven Kramer Tape with decent results. I think it largely depends on your results and how high your Flux setting is. If your Flux is too high then the tape is already at a high saturation point, driving it won’t get much useful out of it. Then there is the matter of how loud is the signal you’re feeding into it, what the transients are doing.

Mind you, subtle drive still works great in most cases.

True. I've seen many cases where is the saturation that sounds more awful when overdriven the one that works wonders when used sparingly. In my opinion it is better to have several options and these tape machines have the bonus of allowing extra control over the way the saturate.

$25.89 on AudioDeluxe or use one of our referral codes and get 10% off straight from Waves.

I thought about getting this one too, but I think I'll pass. Neutron 2 is what I'm using for my "channel strip" at this point. I gotta save something for the up-coming Black Friday sales in a couple months.

Speaking of sales, Plugin-Alliance hasn't been having as many lately. At least not with insanely reduced prices. I get the $69 offers almost everyday, but it was pretty cool when they would have the $29 plugins and you had a $25 or $50 voucher

Speaking of Plugin Alliance, I just picked up the "Millennia TCL-2" on sale.

Not a bad comp.

It seems like PIA has changed their way of doing sales. They now have what they call 'star for one day' which they don't always put out an email about - you have to go to the site to find out what's what. The last emails I got from them were the release of the MetricAB after the public beta period on 9/14 and DSM V2 'star for one day' on 9/19.

I think they're getting away from the pre-announced weekend sales like they used to have which is the pits. Hard to plan. Now I have no doubt that Dirk has made an announcement on Fakebook about these things but I don't do that anymore.

They just added a Black Friday Warm Up section today

The deals aren't as great as they have been though.

museq is nice, but I already have it. The Unfiltered Audio stuff is really cool, but again, already have them all.

That’s a great compressor. I only wish it had faster attack times.
