Can’t have enough reverbs or delays when making dub. 🤣

Morty-C-137

I must say that my need to add more individual FX plugins to my collection has mostly waned since getting Guitar Rig 6. It has excellent reverbs, delays, chorus, distortion, filters saturation etc etc

303abuser

Morty-C-137 Check out the unfiltered audio stuff. They’re really creative and can be had for very reasonable prices (sometimes even free) through plugin alliance on their mega sales.

Morty-C-137

303abuser I got some of their plugs for free at PA, but don’t really rate them.

303abuser

Have you tried byome or silo?

Morty-C-137

Haven’t tried (have I mentioned I have Guitar Rig 6? 😂). The ones I have are Dent, Indent and Instant Delay

303abuser

Haha I’ve heard that. I like dent and indent for grit and glitchy lofi sounds, but byome (it’s an infinitely flexible modular fx system) and silo are completely different animals. Triad is very similar to byome with multi band capabilities. I love using their software for sound design and byome is great on return tracks too.

303abuser

Free for the next 12 days. It’s decent for adding tape colour and noise, especially for the price.

Morty-C-137

Yep, I added that one to my Arturia account even though I don’t have anything Arturia installed on my system anymore 😂

I got XLN Audio’s XO the other day for all my drum sample. Payed $70. It’s effing marvelous full stop.

303abuser

It’s a pretty good tape plugin, I use it almost as often as sketch cassette and that’s saying something. I’ve looked at XO too, seems like a good utility.

303abuser

Soundtoys little radiator is free at the moment …

https://www.soundtoys.com/product/little-radiator/

Morty-C-137

I grabbed it. Tried it, the uninstalled it. I’m spoiled for very good saturators though and just get annoyed by the lack of an output gain knob on Little Radiator 😂

303abuser

Morty-C-137 I have the full version and it’s good, but I don’t reach for it as often as decap or others. Still good to have if you have interest in their other stuff as an upgrade path. I use chowtape on my ipad as a send from my mixer and like it. I have black box, but haven’t really used it much (got it for free too).

Morty-C-137

These are the ones I have (not counting a few distortion units in Guitar Rig):

My favourites and most recommended are (in order of preference):

Klevgrand FREEamp (waiting for the full version REAMP to go on sale; it’s brilliant) (from tube to tape to cassette)
ChowTape (well for tape)
HG-2MS (for tube saturation)

Don’t find myself reaching for the other two much (TwinTube and Character) and I will prob uninstall them. I managed to get the for free from Plugin Alliance.

What’s up fellow noodling geeks. Result of another noodle session below:

303abuser

Morty-C-137 I like that, well done.

Morty-C-137

303abuser Cheers! Happy you like it.

loopdokter

mono-stereo Do you actually use all that kit?

All at once? No. I go through phases of using certain synths. Each one has its place and tone. If I don’t use something in over a year, I sell it.

But generally I own things because of the sound they make. That said option paralysis is a thing.

ArchimedesQ

Any modular fans here? This is ace

Morty-C-137

ArchimedesQ This is actual ACE:
😂

Morty-C-137

ArchimedesQ I’ve had a few hardware pieces, but kept returning to all in the box for its ease of use (no routing cables anywhere) and the sound was not offering me anything over what I can do in software now.

Never dabbled in modular though.. folks who do say it’s like crack for synth heads? 😂
