8Dio Hybrid Tools Synphony ($38). Price goes back to $248 on August 14th.
This promotion is a part of 7th Anniversary Celebration.

I bought Hybrid Tools I a week or so ago based on a video. Only when this came out, I realized I was watching the video for this product. So now I have 2 hybrid tools.

Wow, you can record now in STEREO!

What is the verdict? This is one of those products, you can´t say (without trying), if its "snake oil", or a great innovation.

Based on their overview video (http://y2u.be/aOybUN9ol-4), it's a good addition to an orchestral library to help give it a bit of extra spice if you are so inclined. So you would not use it as-is, but to overlay the orchestral instruments.

Also, it has some OK effects (http://y2u.be/NBwfvkj83KM). If you don't have anything yet to do trailer like effects (mind you with the regular bombardment of trailer and cinematic effects sales at audioplugin.deals or VSTBuzz, I am not sure how you wouldn't already have something if this type of stuff is of interest to you), this might be a good to have handy as long as:

• You already own Kontak
• You are fine with no license transfer
• You have $38 USD to spend

You could always look at it as an instrument in it's own right outside of an overlay or effects, but that was not 8dio's focus for this offering.

At $38, it's a good deal as long as it helps fill one of the above mentioned items and are OK with with the 3 items in my list.

is there a crossgrade from Tantra & Thorn to Diversion?

I’d also be interested in this as well. Some kind of loyalty discount to pick up either of the synths after Tantra ...

Or maybe just wait for VSTBuzz to run sales on them again?

fwiw, pluginboutique are doing a crossgrade from tantra to thorn that's £10/$10 less than buying without already owning tantra, so the mechanism is out there:

https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/ ... rom-Tantra

The crossgrade is not 10$ less, it's 30$ less, since it's including the expansions. This bundle is selling 99$, and it's 69$ with the crossgrade.

Who was the guy who gets teased about having GAS for ethnic winds?

@soundsbyLaura has a thing for ethnic winds, if I'm not mistaken. Though she probably has all of these....

It's a really great ethnic woodwinds bundle. And at 30$ a piece, also a good deal.

Impact Soundworks has quality libraries. And contrary to other companies who's charging for upgrades, they just announced that their Pearl Concert Grand will soon be upgraded at V2.0 and that it will be free for owners of version 1. That's awesome customer service!

I checked the videos and I also think it's a good library to layer with a real orchestral library.

Is that upgradable to the full version of stix?

[dusted william]

I bought the download of BEAT magazine. How do we get the extra content? I hope I didn't' have to buy the iso

I got the digi download, not iso. It works. Go to your Beat account and to the “sofort downloads” tab to get the pdf mag. Then go to the licensing site, https://www.serialcenter.de and register there. After activating via the email they send, there should be a dialog that lets you choose the mag edition and which licenses you want. It’ll ask you a couple simple questions like “what’s the third word in the headline on pg40.” Then you’ll get an email with all the codes. Make sure you have a web translator if you don’t speak german! good luck

You then register the Ozone elements serial in your Izotope account.

You might have to buy the .iso if you want Thorn Solo as I'm not sure of anywhere to download it otherwise.

Okay, so I tried this, but it keeps telling me I have the wrong answer. Is it the M word and the F word? Or am I missing something. Based on the questions, that would seem to be the correct answers. I don't want to give too much away. And I don't see any fancy characters that my computer isn't using.

By the way, it seems I now live in Great Britain. US isn't a choice. Thank goodness Paypal didn't freak out.

I think they generate different questions for everyone so I don't think anyone can necessarily help with your question.
