Got Mangleverb. It's really kind of a specialized tool, but it does what it does exceptionally well. Thick reverb, cool filter with a crunchy drive, modulation, and off we go! In playing with it last night, I discovered that using two instances can lead to some very interesting results.

Too early to tell, really. I just fiddled with it for a couple of minutes. It doesn't seem particularly impressing at first sight, but these thing need time to work them out. I remember I was kind of disappointed with Ricochet, even thought of selling it, but after a couple of months it turned out the go to delay.

If I had a plan I probably wouldn't buy it.

I bought Replicant 1.5 but I still haven't tested it...

I picked up Fluid; it was the last AD plugin on my buy list, got everything else I want.

Tempted, Axon looks interesting, but from past experience I found all their plugins rely on the host for preset management, which unfortunately is not a reliable or consistent approach given the diversity of hosts, some of which use differing formats.

I just couldn't resist taking the plunge on the modulation bundle... thanks for the heads up, OP!

I fought off the temptation all day yesterday and thought the sale was over. I succumbed to Ricochet and Tattoo about 10 minutes ago. Stupid 40% discount.

Wherever you like. Next to where the other presets were stored would be a good start. But you know, no rules.

I made up a bank (FXB) and I made up individual presets (FXP). Stick 'em where you like.

I even went to the trouble of making up a bank with free presets for you to make your own efforts with.

Hit me up via PM if you still struggle.

The thing with preset management is to take control. Make up your own directories. Do not submit to where the manufacturers dictate. Have your own box. Stick to it. Cherish it. Honour it.

Thanks for the heads up. Just picked up Bitcom.

Drop it on the drum buss ... messes things up nicely. Its great on melodic stuff too. I use it a lot during the song creation process.

Audio Damage rarely has sales, so I try to take advantage whenever they do. Picked up Ronin this time (I already had 4 others...). Ronin is pretty versatile, I find it to be well suited to more subtle filtering and fattening. Mangleverb is next on my list...

I have not had good results with refund. I used Adverb for a long period and had stopped using it in favor of another reverb. I wrote to them and asked for a refund and was refused. The email response was needlessly rude as well. They didn't even offer an alternative. WTFever.

"for a long period" - why didn't you sell it instead of asking for a refund?

I will add that I actually have had very good experiences with Audio Damage.

I purchased a plugin from them and requested a refund and they responded quickly with no issues.

I also purchased Mangleverb since it will compliment my music style nicely.

From the Audio Damage website:
2. What if I don't like the product, or it doesn't work for me?
We offer a 100% no-questions-asked return policy for 30 days from your purchase, and you can exchange the plugin for 120 days from purchase. As far as we know, this is the most liberal return policy in the industry, and almost unheard of for software. All you have to do is drop us a line, and we'll get you sorted out.

I have just about every one of their plugins. They wind up on just about every track I make.

Anyone else tempted by the Audio Damage sale?
