Mastering the Mix "LEVELS"
Now 30% off until Aug 24th. That's $45 out of $60.
It's their debut product from 2016, allowing easily monitoring of mixing and
metering and optimizing them for distributions on CD, online streaming etc.

I wish someone ONCE made a meter, which REALLY inculeded all the basic meterings.
The LU meter is always missing - i.e. these multi-meters are not really complete, but you have to use at least one separate metering plugin. What a drag!

Izotope Insight 2
Metric AB

Does the Insight2 really include the LU-meter?

Right at the beginning you see a LUFS meter:

But where is the VU-meter?
I want one meter-plugin, by which I can do all metering: gain staging (VU), peak-metering, LU-metering, balance, dynamics, correlation, mono-compatibility, L/R, M/S.

Why these multi-meters are advertised complete, once these are not?

Do you guys know if Audiothing have regular discounts on their effects? I have my eyes on the spring reverb and space echo

Not sure if you've seen it but they have a summer sale on right now!

Yes GusGranite, but the details are not shown in MMultiAnalyzer (or MMultiAnalyzerMB) features section page, neither at their video.
It resides inside a large PDF documentation file... Alternatively anyone interested may read when the inclusion of LU was discussed at the Forum, with valuable advice on how and why to use it.

Is there a better price for downloadable EZKeys expansions I could get in the UK than £47 from Time+Space ?

Quite fancy the look (and sound) of that new Hybrid Harps expansion. It’s quirky, not Sound Dust level nutso, but usable.

Toontrack doesn't allow extra discounts. That said, you can use loyalty dollars/points to lower prices at Time+Space or Best Services. If you are in the US, Best Services is usually the cheapest because they remove the VAT on US sales.

I must have missed the harp. I will go check it out. I have some points from the "Buy Toontrack, get 2,000 points" deal....

Anyone know if Native Instruments allows for refunds for Maschine Expansion packs? I thought I read before that they offer 14 day returns for software but I'm not sure.

Cheers. Now you mention it I think I may still have some Time+Space loyalty points kicking around.

No, there are no returns for any software including Expansions. It is also mentioned on the last page before you finish your payment.

But of course, you could ask support and try some alternative. Else, just get them unregistered and resell as the last resort.

Just noticed Signum's limiter on sale ($33 regular $75). Any opinions on this? Also, their site appears to be done - anyone know if this is a bad omen or critical failure, or just a glitch?

Can anyone subscribed to their newsletter tell us if Softube has any active codes?

[zacha]

Just noting that the new Plugin Alliance survey coupon appears to be the exact same code as the March survey, if you’ve already done that one
