Cherry Audio acquires Blue 3

[seangm]

$49 for me, but IK b3-x is on sale for $39 atm….
Then again IK is so customer unfriendly

Decisions, decisions

I own both Blue 3 and the IK one, IMHO the IK one sounds better (used to own a real one). But neither one is better than the UAD Hammond which sounds the most authentic to me.

Yay, and half off original price. Will testrun against UAD´s BIII. Dubble Bubble is a BOSS demosong!

Wow, this looks quite a nice upgrade

So it's $39 for "Legacy" users, so far I don't see any confirmation of Spin still being bundled with it, though.

$39 for legacy users is a kick in the balls.
Everyone can already get it for that price at resellers.

I've played many and can say they're like Strat guitars in that while they're all made with the same components, no two sound or play exactly 100% the same. And I'd rather buy CA than either IKM or UAD any day.

Where can we get it for that price?

Lowest I can find is $44 (with free W. A. Production Screamo plugin):

(price drops from $49 when going to checkout)

Not too bad. Thanks. I like the dirt in the sound. I might demo it.

That was quick. Two minute demo. Didn't impress me as much as the youtube demo. Then again, I can't play keyboards.

I already have a number of Organ plugins that I prefer. Starting with IKM.

Yeah I mean mechanical instruments are like that, especially when you get tubes involved and other old moving parts. I just find the UAD more pleasing to my ears but just my opinion so whatever works for you.

Yep, my point being they all could have a place. I never got into the UAD stuff and seeing the constant marketing has made me glad I didn't. I did do the IKM thing and am much happier without them after giving away my entire account. Worse thing you can say about CA is they're NFR, but since they're so inexpensive and the company is more straight forward than the other two, it has far more value IMO.

GG Audio's acclaimed Blue3 organ is coming back, and it's better, more affordable, and has a whole new look (with a few surprises) from Cherry Audio.

Will Spin be available as separate plugin too or will you only get it when you buy Blue3?

@CherryAudiovst
We have not yet announced plans for Spin. It is not included with Cherry Audio's new Blue3, though registered users of the GG Audio version can access it through their user library.

Doesn't the organ have something in it that's just like it?

Spin is an insert effect that you can use with any audio source. Rotary speaker effects sound nice with guitar and electric piano for example. I might be mistaken, but I don't think you can route audio through Blue3.

Don't know if I want to.
But for that it's the same?

[Sequent]

Another option for rotary effects...

I own the original GG Audio Blue 3 and thought it was pretty good but I personally prefer AcousticSamples B5 and IK’s B3X. Has the sound of the organ and the rotary been improved with this new release?
