    It's a good time to consider them since they don'y offer sales that often & the prices in general are a bit high.

    Yup...this is about as good as they get for discounts.  If you've been waiting to purchase FF stuff...time to pounce.

    That's an understatement if ever there was one.  FF have *never* had a sale like this - at least in the four or so years I've been following them.  This sale is really unprecedented.  While I can't predict the future, it's reasonable to speculate that we won't see another like it for a *very* long time.

    Without having any specific need........if there was "one" FF plugin that's a must (one that would used in every project), which one would you recommend?

    Boy...that's a toughie.  I use ProQ and ProC in almost every project.  But I love Timeless near to death.  I guess the answer would be any one of their plugs that would fill a weak gap in your arsenal.

    There's just enough of a turnover of most of their plug-ins in the second hand market except Pro-L. Appears rarely and goes instantly.

    The demo policy is quite liberal: 30 days, no restrictions, no dropouts or noise bursts, no crippled features. (Be forewarned, though, that despite their ease of use most are deceptively deep and even 30 days may not be adequate.)
     
    If I had to give them all up but one, Pro-C is the one I'd keep.
     
    Sure, Pro-L is the younger, sexier sibling and the darling of plugin aficionados everywhere. But if I couldn't use Pro-L anymore, I could go back to Ozone and not be too broken-hearted. Pro-C, OTOH, would be big shoes to fill.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    they do / have done decent prices.. and yep I did post a few times to save those pennies / euro's / dollars till xmas time.. normally xmas..
     
    I like how they do business, partly.. you buy it .. it works.. no faffing around or sneaky marketing "lets play poker" BS that a lot of pro audio companies love doing. I am tempted to buy the desser though.. but I bought alloy that has one..  only reason I bought alloy vs that really.
     
    it's not cheap, but you in the end think yep it was worth it. people on here go on about waves and UAD a lot, but that's a bit too rich for my pockets or I just don't like how a company acts.

    Bitflipper, what is it about Pro-C?  I demoed it a while ago and liked it, but I don't recall anything about it that made it so much more compelling than the dozens of other choices out there.  Is it still better than say TB_Compressor or Melda Dynamics?  Or even Klanghelm DC8C2?

    I already have it all except the synths? And I have plenty of synths. I hope others can take advantage of this most excellent software at a good price. It can be a little tricky in some cases to learn (Timeless2...) But for the most part it's intuitive, and I really like all of their stuff.

    This is an incredible deal--thanks for posting it! Just picked up the EQ (which I'm especially excited about), compressor, and gate (also Saturn, just for fun). Can't wait to use them in my mixes!

    40 percent is very nice especially since it's across the board. But I feel the need to mention that they've had a 25 percent sale on bundles twice in the last year. So those who are bummed that they have no money right now can feel a little less bad and wait until a deal comes up again.
    That said, if you can spare it right now, it's an amazing deal, the all plugins bundle was already great value and is now ridiculously cheap.

    Bitflipper, what is it about Pro-C?  I demoed it a while ago and liked it, but I don't recall anything about it that made it so much more compelling than the dozens of other choices out there.  Is it still better than say TB_Compressor or Melda Dynamics?  Or even Klanghelm DC8C2?

    For most people it's the cool visuals, but for me it's the versatility. I use it for ducking, de-essing, bus compression, track-smashing and parallel compression. The only role it won't do is replace a FET-style ultra-fast clipper/distortion plugin. In fact it's hard to distort anything with it, so there's that limitation.
     
    The versatility is mainly in the sidechain controls. Not only can you filter the sidechain (which nowadays is a much more common feature than it was when Pro-C was introduced), you can also route the sidechain input internally between Left and Right or Mid and Side.
     
    For example, you can compress the Mid and Sides differently as a widening technique. Or send the Side sidechain signal to the Mid compressor (or vice versa). Panning controls on the sidechain mean you can have the two compressors fully linked, fully unlinked, or anything in between. 
     
    You also have three algorithms called Clean, Classic and Opto. Clean is a clinical and, well, clean feed-forward design. Classic is conventional feedback compression. Opto is just what it sounds like: an LA-2A style soft knee.
     
    Pro-C is also very CPU-efficient, more so than any other compressor I have, which makes it a logical choice for track compression. 
     
    Pro-C is, however, overdue for an update - which FF have been promising. And which current Pro-C owners will probably not have to pay for. It lacks an oversampling option, not a big deal to me but seems to be for the cider-press crowd. That same crowd complains about the conservative minimum attack time of 0.5 ms, which again is not a concern to me. The only enhancement I'd like to see is a sizeable UI, which is where Meldaproduction leads the pack.
     
    DC8C is certainly worth consideration, especially given the huge price difference. It's not only similarly flexible, it also adds distortion, instant attack times and multiple attack/release curves. It would appear to be a worthy alternative to Pro-C, although I've never used it myself (no demo).


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Thanks for the writeup, Bit.  While Pro-C certainly does have great graphics (one of the best things about all the FF stuff), I think my plugin compressor folder is pretty well-stocked already.  :-)
     
    I'm still considering snagging Saturn, though ... I'm currently comparing that with my other saturation plugs (including the updated Melda multiband saturator). 
     
    Cheers,

    I use Saturn a lot, although I have to say in all honesty that I have amp sims that do a better job as amp sims and other saturators that do as well as Saturn. The benefit is having all those variations in one plugin, and the ability to apply different algorithms to different frequency bands.
     
    Of lesser importance, though still a significant differentiator, are the modulation options. For example, I like to apply heavy distortion to just the first few milliseconds of a bass guitar. I know of no other distortion plugin that'll let me do that.

    I didn't have a really good delay so I grabbed Timeless 2. I have a feeling it will have to be studied in depth to get the most out of it. Pretty deep editing options and no presets. Time will tell but for $100 I'm not going to complain. Ya, Canadians pay about $100 after exchange and fees. GLobal sales require global currency IMO.

    Mine comes with quite a bunch of presets, not sure what's up with that.
    It's certainly worth diving into (I need to do more too).

    Also, I have DC8C and find I don't really get along with it. Could be my crappy technique though, it certainly is versatile. The VU meters never seem to indicate what I expect them to, and I find it hard to get it to do what I'm looking for.

    Hey, thanks for the heads up re. presets. I find presets to be hit and miss in Sonar. Some plug ins have them, while others don't. Perhaps I (shudder) need to look under the hood?
     
    It sounds FAB!

    I love DC8C, but to be honest Pro-C taught me how to use a compressor. Try calibrating the VU meters to -14 or just read up a bit on what VU meters are for. You can also ignore all but the gain reduction meter.

    Hey, thanks. Weirdly the gain reduction meter seems to respond very differently than that of other compressors, I'll try that calibration thing.

    I may be too stupid to used advanced compressors like that, I really love the CA2A and the RenComp from Waves and such - typically compressors that do a bunch of work for you with very little knob/slider work. Hmmm...

    The great thing about two-knob compressors is you drop 'em in and they just do their thing. The downside is they just do that thing and nothing else. Which is fine if that's the thing you need.
     
    Classic compressors such as the 1176 and LA-2A are actually quite primitive devices. We love the sound of them due to habituation: they've been used on gazillions of recordings, so their effect seems "natural" to us. But in the digital world there is no reason to be limited by what can be conveniently implemented with tubes, transistors and op-amps. No reason a compressor can't be used for creative, remedial or surgical purposes. That's why I prefer a deep, do-everything processor, even if it comes with a learning curve.

    That's why I prefer a deep, do-everything processor, even if it comes with a learning curve.

     
    Case in point: The modulation capabilities in Timeless 2.  Let's just start with the XLFO.  I'd pay good money for that as a MIDI Out standalone.
     
    This is what Sonar's per-track arpeggiator should be.  I've been stumping for something along those exact same lines for a decade (when it was a Project5 exclusive).
