So much excitement, the day flew by at warp speed. 

Now I'm relaxing after having a terrific meal (Lobster Mornay),

I'm so full I had to wait a while before eating my Birthday cake (Caramel Apple Cake with Banana Cream Topping)! 


For gifts I got, guitar stand, movies, food processor and cash....

So I guess I'll be buying some software soon. What I had first in mind is; Valhalla Room and other goodies, haven't decided yet. Probably other Valhalla plugins: Uber Mod and maybe the Vintage also. Or I could go for the Slate FG-X.

I really like the Valhalla Room, it has a nice brighter, cleaner sound (perfect for vocals) whereas the Vintage has more warmth and colour, so I suppose it be awesome on drums, particularly the snare. But I've had my eye on the Slate FG-X for quite some time.  Hmmm decisions, decisions, deecisssions 

Happy Birthday, SongCraft.  

Happy birthday! Mine on Monday...

So do you think Vintage is a "must have" verb even if you have Room? I love Valhalla Room and find a little goes a long way in a mix....

Thanks guys :) 



Sharke: do you think Vintage is a "must have" verb even if you have Room?

That's a really good question: I suppose you could get by without it if you already own another good reverb plugin however, from what I've read they are definitely different, and the Vintage has a plate reverb and IMO overall has a more colourful 'warm' sound that would be ideal for sterile cold sounding digital (virtual) instruments. So, if I had only two reverb plugins they would be Valhalla Room for vocals and Vintage for virtual instruments. 

IMO both are awesome. For $50 each = awesome value. So, I will most likely get both if not now, then I guess eventually. 

Happy Birthday, Greg, I'm glad to hear that you had a great one!
 
Best wishes, my friend!
Bob

Thanks Bob :) 

Appreciate it. Yep it certainly was a good one :)  At the moment I'm winding down, I might watch a movie before I go to bed.  

That's a good point about lending warmth to digital instruments. I really must demo it but I've been way too lazy...

  I'm still upset over my birthday.  I asked for, "Rebecca De Mornay circa Risky Business."  Instead I got smelly socks.. 


Happy birthday SongCraft; cheers, health, all that jazz

Happy Birthday, Greg!!

Many happy returns Greg!
