Nomad Factory Black Friday (Good for Post-Sonar unlocking)
Dontcrack is having a Black Friday sale on NomadFactory plugins through the end of the week month. For those looking to take their BlueTubes Sonar plugins into their post-Sonar after-life, this could be of interest. I would recommend going straight for the Integral Studio Pack. In addition to all the Blue Tubes plugs, it contains Magnetic (I and II), which can serve to not only replace but supplant ProChannel's tape Saturation, and a bunch of other plugs that may at least serve to ease the parting blow. :D Also, Magma may be worth a look as a possible pro-channel replacement. The modules may not be of as high quality as those of ProChannel, but there are far more of them to choose from.

These are decent offers in the Nomad tradition, i.e. quantity over quality. I think they do manage to make a few really good ones sometimes, but I'm not sure that having 200 half decent plugins with 5 or 6 really good ones in there *somewhere* (if you take the time to try them all out) is better than just buying 5 or 6 really good plugins.
Or, you know, 200 or so. Hahahahahaha....

Good offer but would be better if they would do what Overloud are doing now.

I wonder if Magma is worth, even $29, for someone who already have Soundtoys 5, T-Racks and Amplitube MAX, Plug'n'Mix VIP bundle, lots of similar plugins from Waves, etc. It looks that all the effects in Magma are covered (many times) and overcome by this other packs.
Anyway... $29 is a great price.

Magma has some nice features, such as parallel routing and modulation of all the parameters. It’s good for some creative processing.

I actually like their version of Pultec despite the unnecessary extras they added

OK, the effects per se are not the most interesting feature, IMO, but the routing and modulation capabilities (esp for 3rd party plugins) seems rather nice. I read some other posts here and there and found that it is not being updated since 2013 (the pass of Bernie Torelli?) and that there are numerous complaints of magma crashing some DAWs. I'd like to ask about the experience of magma users here; how stable is it in Sonar Platinum latest version or any other DAW you have used it with (I'm particularly interested in SO3, Live and Cubase). TIA.

Haven't looked at the sale, but anytime you can pick up the full bundle for 99 bucks (it's been offered at that price at least twice), I would recommend you just go for it. I disagree with the "quantity over quality" assessment. Yes there are lots of plug-ins, but there are at least a dozen genuine gems there. At eight bucks apiece, that's in no-brainer territory IMO.

The "quantity over quality" bit referred to Magma modules, not NF plugs in general. I'm a big fan of NF - had its founder Bernie not passed away too soon, I think we would have seen a lot more output from them than we have of late. Still, Bluetubes, Magnetic, Echoes, Pulse-Tech (especially the pre-amp module omitted from many competing emulations) are all well worth owning, IMHO.

The three Analog Signature (not at my DAW, so I might have slightly misnamed them) plug-ins are superb. Do not overdrive them or they sound like crap. Feed them gently and they produce magic, IMO.
