    Yes Cool software and Nomad Factory sounds always great!...but....




    Great entry price tag of $199 for new users , but for us Integral Studio Pack  users that already spend $599 get to pay whooping $179 more to get this one that should been included for FREE in the Integral Studio Pack  already? If WE needed to pay anything is should be $20-50 max not $179. Other already users of other Nomad Factory packs should only be paying $100.

    So as long the price are so overpriced I will not buy it. I can easily buy and spend some more cash on Lexicon hardware instead.
    My two cents!

    I beg to differ..  200 / 65 = 3.08...

    $3.08 per effect...  That is frikking cheap..  I don't have two hundred bucks on hand, at the current moment..  but yeah..  I'm putting this one on my, "eventually demo, and possibly purchase," list.

    And I'm not a, "new user," I've got two of the bundles...

    I got the whole kit and kaboodle from Nomad last year for $99. When this batch goes on sale for $99 I'll still have to think hard as to whether I should buy it.

    Interesting.  But did anyone else think they look a lot like Propellerhead Reason's modules and new Rack Extensions?

    It is nice! I paid the $179 and it is worth it. Like you said 65 great effects. Some I will be using on every project. I really like the spectrum analyzer! And many others. I haven't used the presets but I have made 5 user presets of what I would want in my rack and they sound amazing. A really nice tool! Some great digital reverbs and delays. I still haven't used it all but I was happy with my purchase. I used it on 3 projects so far, with great success!

    LANEY, did you own any of the previous Nomad plugs? If so, are the new ones ~$3 (each) more betterer than them?

    I have the studio pack. These are new plug ins. Better is such a weird term in plugins. I just see myself using these because of sound and layout. I didn't have an analyzer from them(I don't think). Ozone is better ;) But it is something small to use and start from there. Not a CPU hog, I will try out the presets tonight as there are many to choose from.
    Looking forward to the vocal presets. I will let you know how it goes. These are 65 new plugins.

    I have had two crashes and fault Reporters pop up since trying to use the presets. :(

    Easy to use layout, didn't think that would be an attraction point, but it is. I do have the Nomad studio bundle to compare. I have to say Magma sounds pretty good, smooth analog type of sound; realizing it is subjective of course. I did experience motor-boating, haven’t seen that in a while. Looks like part of the arsenal in the near future for sure.
