Black Friday deals: :-(

Oh man. So much good stuff but no money. Ozone and the Overloud bass amp sim are SCREAMING at me to be bought and the Chromaphone thingy is giving me a sultry stare.

Must... stop... looking...

    Ozone 5 is amazing! From iZotope's site it is 249.00 but you can get it at sweetwater or other online retailers for 199.00. The TH2 deals look great too. But like you right now I have little money. I do have enough for the concrete limiter and the other pro channel plug.

    I think today may be the time to buy those.

    I could REALLY use that Ozone package. The mastering stuff in Sonar is good but from the sounds of it Ozone blows all those tools away. *sigh* Maybe some day.

    Also, if only interested in the Overloud Breverb2 & SpringAge Combo:
      
    Audio Deluxe has them for  a bit cheaper, if you apply the coupon 'cyber15' for an additional 15% off.

    Edit: Breverb 2 alone is $116.45 vs. $129.00 here.

    Otherwise, for both Breverb2 & SpringAge it's $141.95 there vs. $169.00 here. 

    [Sorry for any confusion.]

    I've never really been a big reverb user. Prefer things to be nice and dry. The little bit I use just to make things sound a little more real is easily accomplished with the stuff included in Sonar. I'm more into distortions, compressors and realistic synth patches. I've heard great things about the Overloud bass sim but GR5 seems to work pretty well for that stuff. Not so great for guitar though IMO.

    If anybody is interested in Chromaphone - and is in the UK, it's cheaper to get it at the AAS site for their half price sale. It comes out to $99.50 (around £64 for me on Paypal) as opposed to £79 in the Cakewalk shop.
     
    The Cakewalk shop £ -> $ conversion sucks for some reason.

    er - that's it I think...

    Chromophone is a great synth IMO.

    So that Chromaphone thing... can you toss other sounds/samples in it or is it limited to its own content?

    Oh and synkro... don't know if you saw it but I posted my first loopy loop song a while ago. Thought maybe you'd be interested in hearing it. :-)

    Cool. Thanks. Just curious. Mulling over my finances and things are looking pretty grim but it's fun to look at the shiny things. ;-)

    If you do not have the Concrete Limiter, you would get more use out of it than Chromaphone.

    Oh definitely however I think the most important thing I need right now is a proper vocal condenser. My C01s are holding their own but they're just a little off sounding to me and I'd like something a little more natural. I think it was the AT 2025s I was looking at for vox. They're under a hundred bucks.

    Hi Beep. Busy with other life things at the mo so didn't see this when checking back.

    Your loop track is cool dood, made me giggle so thanks for sharing :-)

    As for Chromophone, it is totally a physical modelling synth so it doesn't use any "content" of any kind, which is what makes it so cool IMO. All of its sounds are calculated on the fly. Owners of Tassman will probably say that you should just get that as it does the same and more, but I like the focus of Chromophone and I go to it for specific sounds even though I too have Tassman.

    Sounds like you need other things first though so come back to Chromophone when you can afford it. I'm sure it will be discounted again at some time in the future.

    cheers

    I'm holding out hope that there may be a SWEET deal on Ozone b4 the Saturnalia...
