I just got the offer from Plugin Alliance to buy bx_digital V3 for $69. I'm sure it's a fantastic plugin well worth that price, but what - if anything - makes it special compared to hundreds of other top class EQs on the market in 2019? I understand bx are (or used to be) kings of m/s, but surely most well featured mastering EQs support m/s?

It's an all in one toolbox for your master-channel. I like it quite much, the presence feature is unique. Also some other useful things in there. Just demo it.

Thanks! And yeah I would, only it's a 24h deal and I don't have time to try it out within that time.

Ok, just a few more infos from me then:
It really grew on my. What I'm constantly using: Mono-Maker, Stereo-Width, Presence Shift Bass / Treble. These are very useful already.
Also quite a nice feature is the solo-on-selection switch. So it auto-solos your current selected knob. E.g. Mono-Presence automatically switches to mono for you to hear, what you're actually doing to the mono image. (It is optional of course and can be switched off).
What I also very like about PA products in general is the toolbar where you can easily compare against 4 different settings/versions (ABCD). That really accelerates workflow for me.

It has the best workflow for master-processing from all the EQs I own. (Slick EQ M, Equilibrium, PRO-Q3)
Of course if you need to do more specialised things these others come to hand, but for a quick and easy improvement of the Mix bx_digital is very useful and fast.
Btw I do not even use other features, which this has a ton of. Eg. Dynamic EQ, recording 2 mics with split mid/side to one channel etc.

For the price of 70$ it is a good deal I think. I bought it 1-2 years ago during a sale, too. Had a voucher back then I remember so paid even less.

There we see, bargain at the first glance, wasn’t that good relatively.

Just in case anyone wondered.

Dealio!

But the $299 version was compatible with Kontakt Player, while the sale version requires the full version of Kontakt.

Hmm, so Izotope's quoting Grimes: "Iris is incredibly versatile-I've used it in pop songs and atonal noise pieces." Which songs, I wonder? Also, she seems to be referring to Iris, not Iris 2... which could imply that was from before she got access to more expensive equipment.

[Ou_Tis]

Izotope doesn't allow transfer of "retail software bundled licenses"... so the individual components of the Iris 2 + Trash 2 bundle can't be resold... but I guess the license to the bundle itself can be?...

I am not sure what you mean by this. By a paid upgrade do you mean like upgrading from Symphony Orchestra Silver to Symphony Orchestra Platinum?

If that is what you mean, well then...of course they don't. Play 6 is only required on their newest libraries which thus far only amount to 3 vocal oriented libraries...and Play 6 comes with those libraries, thus giving you essentially a free upgrade from v5.

All of their other libraries do not use the updates included in Play 6 other than database search items, thus making an upgrade to v6 for free rather silly.

Unless of course you meant something different...

Hi,

I read in the deals thread, that Kirk Hunter's VIRTUOSO ENSEMBLES FOR KONTAKT RETAIL is on sale.

Has anyone seen this in one of the discounter shops? Or a shop, which sells Kirk Hunter at all?

I've seen their own shop, but since I do not need that library so desperate (and even $80 is quite something), I was thinking to get it maybe even cheaper?

Have a good one

[Fleer]

As far as I checked, AudioPluginDeals is cheapest for Kirk Hunter (and gets you extra credits for purchases) but this one seems to be a direct sale by KH.

[DawnInEden]

Hi Fleer,

they have some Kirk Hunter libs, but I couldn't find this particular one there. Did you?

Cheers
