Fabfilter Bundle Deal

Still too rich for my budget, I'm afraid. The last FF plugin remaining on my wish list is Pro-DS, but even with the summer sale and referral credits it'd still cost me $91. A good deal, for sure - but it's also 10% of next month's health insurance premium, which I have only two weeks to scrape together.

Self-employment, man. I've spent over $6,000 so far this year on health care, even without any back surgery. There's also self-employment tax. Here in Washington State we've also got the Business and Occupation tax ($900 a year), high property taxes ($500 a month), sales tax that adds 9.5% to every tube of toothpaste (or 5 grand to a nice car). We pay to use parks. You can't even fish for your food, that costs more than a fish dinner at a restaurant, and you can only take home two fish anyway.
 
Some of it's the price of not having a boss, an office or a commute. Some of it's the price of living in a desirable corner of the world (no snow, no hurricanes, no tornadoes, even thunderstorms are rare; no poisonous critters, clean air, lots of water and trees, and legal pot).

You're just not paying your fair share? Just ask anyone in the current administration? How much should you pay? "More..."  Oh BTW? You have a volcano or two?  (ring of fire?)
 
People in your state voted for "this?" So? You're welcome... Perhaps you should be part of the solution?

Please. Only wimps are afraid of volcanoes!

Ouchie! Left Coast jab... Careful what you ask for? You just might get it...

Washington isn't completely blue - and California even less, in spite of how the media paints the states on election night.
 

meh.
 
Better than a tornado or gators in the yard.

Yup...I heard that music will be considered legal tender after the zombie apocalypse.  You'll be rich, rich, rich!!!!!:-)
 

For general-purpose compression and equalization, you can't go wrong with Pro-C and Pro-Q. They are both excellent. Pro-C is overdue for an update, but FF have hinted that one is coming.
 
I love FabFilter products, but they are relatively pricey. If money is a concern, as it is for me, the good news is that there are less-expensive alternatives to FF that are still in the same league in terms of audio quality and features.

Thanks, maybe I will give them a demo.  I suppose I should also really try and give the pro channel stuff a fair shake.

The QuadCurve is a nice EQ, especially to be an "Included" EQ...

Agreed, especially now that it has a decent GUI in X3.  For a "color" EQ, why not snag the excellent HoRNet SW34, which you can buy for under 15 bucks right now.  On sale today only!

double post.

Stay where you are and be happy, Jim. In BC you get the best of both worlds. The same laid-back attitude (mostly), clean air (mostly), proximity to water and seafood, greenery and of course BC Bud. And free French lessons on the back of every cereal box. You can always pop on down the road any time for a visit - apparently a popular option judging from all the BC plates I see at the mall.

Right on Bit! Pretty proud of our BC bud - that's for sure. Only do a tiny fraction of what I once did, but still top notch.
I honestly thought we'd beat your 1st 4 states in legalizing it, because our previous Prime Minister Jean Chretien was all ready to do so, until President George Dubya Bumble-feck the hypocrite stopped him from doing so.
Kind of ironic considering his past, not to mention the all too well known 'failed war on drugs'.
 
Thanks for the open invite - I rarely ever cross the line, but I know that so many do, for shopping mostly.
 
Hate the French on the other side of every box - everywhere. Why? Because almost every time I pick up a cereal box [or any other], I always seem to end up on the French side, only to have to turn the damn thing.
Quite annoying after 53 years - especially since most of us don't even speak French in Canada. Certainly way less than 50%. If anything, our 2 or maybe even 3 official languages will soon be English, Chinese, [actually Mandarin], and East Indian - [probably Punjabi].
 
I remember seeing a comedian talk about this. Apparently it has to do with most people being right handed, and they way we unwittingly grab & turn the packages to read them.
Maybe I should have kept up with my ambidextrous practices in school. If I had, maybe I'd be lefty by now, and not have this dang problem anymore. 

On a completely unrelated note to the current discussion but, related to the thread subject...

Does anybody know if the 10% discount for referrals by current fabfilter customers would apply on top of the 25% discount of the sale. Just curious. I have been eyeing a few of their plugins, particularly Saturn and Timeless, and wouldn't mind jumping on a bundle if it was 35% off. I don't own any as of yet.

For sure bit. Not to sound creepy but I was planning to PM you for the referral if I went through with the purchase anyway. I don't post a lot but I read the forum quite a bit and have found your posts really helpful. Your posts are a big reason why I've been checking out fabfilter and melda stuff lately. Thanks.

.... Seriously, I swear I'm not creepy...

lol, nothing wrong with some good mushrooms...
