Does X2a Producer have the PC2A module bundled?
I was looking at the sale that ends today and noticed that the CA-2A leveling amp is only $13.99 for owners of the PC2A. I bought the Z3TA+2.1 at the upgrade price because my X2 producer had the previous version. I don't recall ever noticing the PC2A in there and haven't been able to track down a definitive list of all the included plugins online (I'm at work and away from my DAW). I've read good things about the CA-2A and I figure for $14, what would I have to lose?

It's not included in X2, and is well worth getting. Snap it up quickly, IMHO.

Nope. Not included and you heard right. It's a great effect. Well worth that price. I think I paid $20 for just the PC version (before the VST version came out) and it was half price.

That would have been a super sale. I picked up the PC version for $39.50 and that was 50% off at the time.

Thanks guys! I think I'm picking that up and the VKFX bundle (since I have a "real" electric piano).
What about the Concrete Limiter? I've been using the built-in Boost plugin and have been relatively happy with it.

Concrete limiter is also great. In a different league to boost 11.

The concrete limiter is a much better limiter than Boost 11

Maybe that's what I paid too but considering how cheap I am I figured it was lower. It was last fall I believe. And yeah I wish I could afford the CL right now. Figures it finally goes on special when I can't spend any real money.

Yeah, I bought it on Oct. 19, 2012. FWIW, your purchasing details should be in your store account. I am sure you know this won't be the last sale for the CL. There are a few months until the end of year sale. Have you had a chance to check out the free alternatives that are out there?

Sounds like it was the same sale so I must have paid $40. Can't be arsed to check right now.
And no... I haven't downloaded and played with the Melda suite yet because I can't even think about doing any music stuff at the moment. I did take a good look at it all on their site and I think it will definitely be useful. Good tip on that one, scook. Cheers.

Good price on the CA2A, but still only getting the VST version for $15? I guess it's worth it to use elsewhere outside of Sonar. I demo'ed the CA2A and liked it.
On a side note, I did just snatch up the PC Concrete Limiter while on sale and applied my store credit. Total cost? $15! I've heard much praise about the PCCL and I look forward to using it. After all, I don't have a good and effective limiter in my arsenal besides Boost11 or LoudMax-64, which are both just OK.

OK - so I picked up the VKFX bundle and the CA-2A yesterday. Can't wait to fiddle with them this weekend. I've been using AmpKit+ (on the Ipad) as an effects module for my Yamaha CP30 and am looking forward to trying something new.
