mono-stereo yeah that’s the first thing i did. nothing fancy, but just playing around with envelopes/filters/lfos and i already like it. it’s going to take months to really figure it all out though. even if you just look at it as money spent on entertainment, it’s good value.

Trying to be super disciplined this year. Scaler 2 is the only new plugin I actually want (other than reason / live upgrades). Anyone have any experience of using it?

haven’t used scaler myself, sorry. almost looked it up then decided not to in case i like it haha.

woke up at 430 this morning thinking about granular synthesis, i may have a problem. 🤣

It’s a music theory plugin.

I just need to keep repeating my mantra - ’I don’t need anymore synths, I don’t need anymore synths’ (buys discounted synth) 🙂

ah, i’ve got a kordbot for that, although i don’t use it as often as i should.

i will say, if you want to buy a synth you don’t need, look at pigments. this thing is fantastic.

mono-stereo Junkie XL is selling all his gear

Talk about clickbait - at the end he says he’s selling a lot of it but still keeping his favourite pieces.

I didn’t know he’d done so much film score work though, so at least I learned something from clicking on the video under false pretences.

    Praise be

      i’ve got another $25 voucher for plugin alliance that expires today and i’m not using it. if you want it, reply here or dm me and it’s yours.

        mono-stereo All that gear, all those sound tracks, all dosh… best thing he ever did was B Y Whop To The Y / Siyncho

        303abuser Excellent, any suggestions on what I should buy chaps? I have no plug ins of any sort at the moment. Just using the in built stuff with Ableton.

          Amps is there anything you ‘need’ specifically? like a compressor, eq, synth, etc? i have several of their plugins, but mostly more expensive stuff that went on massive discount.

          edit: looking at their page now, maybe check out some of the unfiltered audio stuff, their fx related software can be a lot of fun for sound design. like sandman pro, dent 2, fault are all good prices. you can also demo anything to try it first too.

            303abuser As I have nothing, I would assume I need everything! But I guess a good reverb or compressor should be top of my list? Or is there a synth I can’t do without?

              Amps i have lion and oberhausen which are both amazing, but not at this price. i bought both for less than $40 each. for compressors, i’m waiting for zip to go on sale, if i can get it for $40 or less, i’ll buy it.

              i’m assuming a black friday sale is coming tomorrow or the next day, so i’d use this on something already cheap (you’ll get a handful of free utility plugins with it), then look for bigger stuff later this week based on the new sale.

              Is the Unfiltered Audio stuff any good?

              i love their stuff. i have lion, triad, byome, dent2, and spec ops. i will add that i paid about $120 total for all of it though, don’t go anywhere near list prices for them.
