Free, but for the Hornet, it means inscribing, then installing yet another Downloader programme, which sends the download to the wrong place (as usual...). No big deal, but with so many otfits doing the same stuff, it becomes tiresome for a 'one-off'. Melda don't do this, it's a straightforward download, once inscribed (I already am, soooooo...). Just sayin'. Hmm... Melda seem to have joined the club, too, with an Installer. A bit fiddly, but I got it to work, after a fashion. Very clunky, though.

You don't need to install the installer for Hornet, just go to your account section and there you'll find every individual plugin you acquired. You can download the installer for each plugin there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 A very nice filter freebie. Just an email address required to receive the download link. You can choose to sign up to a news letter if you want, but that's not part of the download process. (no download manager or any of that nonsense). https://polyversemusic.com/products/filtron/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 There are a few Ohm Force FX plugins now free. Nothing special required, other than open up an account for the file download links. But of course, you can delete the account after you have installed the FX, or just unsubscribe from their emails. They are legacy products, so no more updates: https://www.ohmforce.com/plugins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgiver69 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 Guys the complete collection of IK Multimedia MixBox is on sale for $30 (yes Dollars). That's 85% off!! Get this, it is a bloody bargain; especially for those who use a digital PA for their bands.

Owen Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I have this. Even at full price it is worth it. It is not the proper grown up one (Sonarworks), but it makes a noticable difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Found it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CyOZ0OfIRUF/ I got it by going to the 'Plugin Boutique' site and adding to the basket from the list (top left). VST Plugins You will then be given a code and link to activate at the UAD website. You then download the LA-2A via their UA Connect App. Authorize Your UAD Plug-Ins You will also need an iLok account (No USB dongle needed). I just used my iLok Cloud/Computer account. After linking your iLok account at UAD you will find it just turns up in your iLok account. I found it to be okay, but certainly no better than my stock vintage Comps/Limiters in Nuendo 12. Also, I couldn't seem to resize it, although that might be a Nuendo thing. It does seem an awful lot of faffing around for something that might not be any better than you already have when it comes to *Vintage' sounding VST's. Please don't let my negativity put you off though. Some may find it really useful !! Edited October 17, 2023 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Focusrite is doing a little bit off their FAST Bundle. It’s reduced from £330 to £275. However, I got an email from Novation a few days ago with a code. So I tried it last night & got the FAST Bundle for £40. Here’s the code.

lowdown Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 A very nice free Modulation FX from ARTURIA, called 'Efx REFRACT'. You will need to download their software Installer, but it is a very light App. Plus, there are a few other freebies from ARTURIA that might be useful via the Software Center.
