Everybody’s hopping on the bundle train.

I’m still trying to decide if I want to try to sell my handful of second-hand purchased u-he licenses. Potential is to recoup about $200 or so. Sort of a gamble, perhaps. But my guess is that after the current craziness settles down that prices could go back up.

All these u-he posts constantly remind me how much I have lost due to my naïve belief that u-he never liked sales.

[Ou_Tis]

Perhaps they think the Iris 2 / Trash bundle was eclipsed by other sales during Black Friday and the holidays, so they're offering it again?... if not for the U-He sale I'd probably get it... I'm pretty sure I already have software that can do what Iris 2 does (sampler synth, spectral editing), but the vast sample library is tempting....

[yellowmix]

All software depreciates. This effectively kills the secondhand market for these products as the pool of people who want it shrink. The products that have been spared are due for an update so they, too, will lose value.

Buy software, enjoy the extra time you got to use it before it went on sale. That's what you paid for. You didn't lose anything.

Another factor I thought about was:

Even if re-selling the license could work in my case to recoup some lost money, how much time am I going to spend screwing around with sending transfer requests, answering PMs, haggling, etc. vs. how much I get paid at my job.

Alchemy if you have Logic or the old Camel version. Harmor can resynthesize it. Not sure what else, would love to hear suggestions.

But yeah, it's a very varied and well-categorized 10GB sample library you're also getting. Great for granular and wavescanning synths like Form. Here's something I made with Form using an Iris 2 sample of a Rubix being wound: https://instaud.io/3hpj

Hey guys/gals

I have searched but found no opinions on Eventide Instant Phaser mkII and the $37 promo. I have LPX and mostly use its own Olivia’s they are excellent, having only a few 3rd party plugins.
So does Eventide’s new Phaser do anything that Logic’s plug-ins don’t?

Thanks
Mario

Demo it by yourself...
I did and bought it because it offers more character than the usual suspects.

[sqigls]

yes, in a word, character.

it's not so flexible, but it's the type of phaser sound i prefer personally...
i just learned that Led Zeppelin used the original hardware box a lot on their cymbals.

don't let that put you off though

Picked up Trash 2 and the two expansions.

JRRBlowouts has the best pay-now price ($23.99)

TimeSpace offers 2000 loyalty points for iZotope purchases (which is about $10) so it has the best "cashback" kind of price. Paying in Euros shaves a couple bucks off the price (in the USA).

[Mariosprt]

Thank you both for the opinions.
Yes, I will demo it. But since you mention character, it seems to be more appropriate for rock or similar sounds. As I make electronic music maybe the use is more limited?

A clear no. I make kind of ambient electronic music and it fits quite well for synth and sample leads bringing in some movement and instability. However, have a try yourself.

Anybody bought this? Listen to all the demos. Damn!. A nobrainer imo. only 1 day left.
Still wondering if the Izotope deal is worth it. It get's real cheap at JRR.

Honestly, it doesn't seem very flexible. I'd rather have a sampled dry library or a live recording of a drum performance than a sampled drum library in space with long decay times, which depending on what gets played, can sound very unnatural, becoming a mixing headache. But if it works for you, then great!
