How is this plug in actual usage? good enough to be your Go-To/replace the sonitus delay? (I know it's only $10, but I don't like to buy things and just have it occupy space....)  

With the caveat that I've only messed around with it for about 30 min or so, I think it will replace my use of Sonitus and Ricochet (Audiodamage) both almost entirely. The options are so many and the sound ( to me) is definitely superior to Ricochet and probably better than Sonitus as well. The hardest part will be understanding signal flow and what all the buttons do.

Thanks Jim. Yeah, it looks like you can do quite a bit with this including that reverse function....I listened to all the demo's of this on RP's site and was impressed. Just may be one of the best $10 I've spent!

good enough to be your Go-To/replace the sonitus delay?

That's exactly what I've been trying to do for a while now: find a suitable replacement for the Sonitus Delay, which has a couple bugs that drive me up the wall. Even if its replacement turns out to be buggy, hopefully at least somebody's still working on it.

In terms of ease-of-use, RP-Delay is not nearly as quick to dial in as the Sonitus. It will no doubt get easier after I've memorized the positions of its controls (whose labels are difficult to read) and once I've made presets for my most-used settings.

Bit...I know you're concerned about costs (as we all are) but you really need to look at FabFilter Timeless 2.  It...like all their stuff...is incredible.

I got my registration email within 5 minutes of buying it

Absolutely. If I had any budget at all for this stuff, Timeless 2 would have been my first choice. But these days, ten-dollar purchases are about all I can handle.

By the way, Audio Midi has plenty of interesting sales in August (for those of you not on their mailing list) - big specials on EZ and Superior Drummer, 50% off on all EZ Expansions, 20% off Nomad Factory plug-ins, and a couple of other specials on Waves Bundles, M-Audio stuff etc...

I was somewhat hesitant because the demos on Toontrack site aren't all that convincing, but I think it might be a good time for me to grab the Vintage Kit, and maybe the Nashville (not into Nashville sort of thing but this seems like a pretty good drum library at any rate) or the Metalheads...


EDIT - Just saw Beagle started a tread about the EZX stuff.

    I was pretty happy with my loops and then Danni Danzi someone here started my wheels turning(that can be dangerous;-). Once on a mission I can't stop... especially after  reading that the sessions drummer in Sonar is basically a toy compared to some of the other contenders in this area.

  The ability to have a better sounding kit with more control of the sounds was enough to put me on the web to every major drum software manufacturer online pouring over their product lit.I looked at numerous Youtube videos and wound up with a speed course in drum software.....now Rain tells us there is a 50% discount on Superior Drummer. So I'm still doing homework and doing math in the back of my head to see what I can do............thanks for the info Rain.

  I'm on a slippery slope now,where will it all end? Probably with my computer loaded with a bunch of software I need to learn how to use........I had better look into copying that hard drive..... I need a term for a music/ computer geek/musician who spends inordinate amounts of time up late on his computer toying around with something or other making some kind of stuff that maybe himself,the neighborhood dog and a few stragglers might stumble on sometime whilst other more normal people are in bed sound asleep...........wonderful ain't it?

Just to make sure - the 50% is on EZ Expansions. But there's still 42% off on Superior.

After years of using samplers and softsynths and building my own kits from scratch, layering sounds and starting the process all over again w/ every new song because the kits I had built did not work, an app like EZ Drummer is such a relief.

I've looked into Superior and there's definitely some quite interesting stuff about it, but I've bought so many new plug-ins and libraries in the last month alone that I'll focus on using that. And I just love the simplicity of EZ. 

Oddly enough, my introduction to EZ was through the Studio One sale last fall - EZ lite was bundled w/ it. It was definitely worth the $20, even though I have no use for Studio One, but just for the upgrade path to EZ drummer. :) 

I always wondered how these vendors made money on these no brainers? Rob Papen has obviously created a name for himself with high quality products and this delay is going for $69 on his site.....and AM is practically giving it away for $10??? must be the quantity in sales that allows for this?

I honestly don't think they are designed to make money at all, any more than freebie downloads.

I doubt this particular product had previously been flying off the shelves - two years old and still at version 1.0, and AFAIK zero buzz since its release. There are just too many similar products out there, even if this one is unusually feature-laden. I suspect they chose RP-Delay as a sacrifice to the gods of marketing in hopes of better brand recognition.

I have not had time to play with it at all.  maybe this weekend.

This one is similar. It came in the Computer Music Effects special issue(#47). Actually a pretty decent issue. This effect is a bit more over the top than RP-delay. TRUC

Got my no brainer yesterday...pretty cool delay for the $

I had no intention of getting in on this one, but figured for $10 I wouldn't be out much in a worst case scenario.  It actually seems pretty decent, although I may want to do a bit of manual reading on this puppy.
