Year in Software 2025 (what you've bought in 2025)

[D-Fusion]

Just bought Synapse Audio Proxima so i have a backup if my hardware breaks down or when i feel lazy and want more instances without bouncing to audio

[Examigan]

I just got UVI’s HX-Oddy on their sale.

[felis]

I added Arturia V Collection 11 update to the pile.

[Alexander_D]

So much honestly..
Serum 2, Omnisphere 3, Keyscape, Kazrog MHB Green, Kazrog True Iron, Pro Q4, Twin 3, Cubase 14, Spectralayers 12, Absolute 6 to name a few...

A lot over here as well - I sold most of my hardware and invested heavily in software, and probably went a little too far in that direction. I have really been enjoying a lot of these tools though, especially Unfiltered Audio Battalion / Lion, Aberrant DSP Cataclysm, Madrona Labs Sumu / Kaivo / Aalto, Pigments, and ALM Motto Akemie. Oh, and I finally got Bigwig at the crossgrade sale price and am looking forward to getting more comfortable in that environment.

i bought only one this year, cherry quadra.

found out Carpenter used it on the Escape from New York soundtrack, but the real deal i will never own, so i thought this is a good 2nd choice. and i love it.

i decided only to buy 1 or 2 a year so i take the time to learn and have fun with them. and the rest of the time i try free vst's. there are so many great ones out there. i recently found out that full bucket now has resizable GUI, thats so awesome and for free and he has so many synths which sound really nice.

Im slowly working on a 3300 midi controller.

I think Quadra is one of Cherry's hidden Gems. One of their better UIs and just overall very well laid out and sounds great.

Since my September update:

Synths:
Dawesome Kontrast
Melatonin Sine Machine

FX:
Aberrant DSP Cataclysm
Lese Smear
Valhalla FutureVerb

Other:
510k Polyllop

Nobody release any more cool plugins for the rest of the year, okay?

[rod_zero]

Nothing, but I might get the new valhalla reverb before the year ends.

Yes I got that one as part of a Humble Bundle deal. I think that was last year though, so I didn't mention it here.

The last plugin I bought this year was the KORG M1. I thought I would be done with plugins until I heard about Futureverb and demo'd it. My god, it sounds amazing. I am also tempted to get Tone2 Nemesis 3 at a discount, and I am a huge fan of Icarus. I already own Pivot. It may sound better and be more unique, but Nemesis has so many sounds and tricks up its sleeves.

[DeepBits]

Pianoteq 9 and Unify 2 update.

[Korg Supporter]

I got ACE for $21 thanks to the $11 I had in my PB rewards.

[Alexander_D]

Also just purchased Retro from Kazrog. Great compressor BTW

I probably have enough reverbs, but that one sounds great.
