What software did you buy in the past year?

[Daimonicon]

Kontakt5, Upgraded Cubase to 6.5 from 4. Lexicon LXP, Slate VTM. Torpedo PI Modern and Bass.

[ZenPunkHippy]

My NFR list's quite a bit longer, though.

Hardware- now that's a completely different matter...

Happy New Gear everyone!

Peace,
Andy.

[tenshin111]

Komplete 8 Update
Amplitube 3
Samplemoog

[warp x]

I bought Berna and Metasynth, love both.

[mellotronaut]

i bought(edit)
Toontrack Superior Drummer 2 marketplace + Roots Brushes etc. new

How is the Roots SDX? I keep eyeing it, but don't have a need for it immediately.

i have only the Brushes etc., not the Sticks. it's quite detailed and dynamical and thus especially enjoyable, when you use a spare instrumentation. you like these brrr and drrrr jazzy free kind of snare and tom sounds a lot? then it's for you.

[aallvor]

Bought:
Fxpansion Etch (am no-brainer)
Tal-U-No-Lx
Absynth
Reaktor (in the marketplace)
Geist
De La Mancha stuff (compressor, delay and limiter)

Sold Geist and Reaktor after a couple of months, due to them not really fitting into my workflow (found both of them pretty overwhelming to be honest). I made a profit on Reaktor and got almost the same price for Geist as I bought it for, so it's all good.

I've learnt (the hard way!) that I gel better with simpler fx and instruments...

My favourite purchase of the year was U-No-Lx


cheers,
A

most QuikQuak stuff (RaySpace, Crowd Chamber, Fusion Field, Pitchwheel)
