I haven't used it in a while but Cosmos is a good one.

There goes the second hand market for these plugins ...

elxsound · Post by **elxsound** » Mon May 09, 2016 3:58 pm

Agreed.... Magma at that price is definitely a no-brainer.

I don't have cosmos, but at that price, I'm going to have to add it.

Another favorite of mine is the Motown Retro bundle, which is also just $29.

Magma only got 7 out of 10 rating in CM back in 2012

But since then there has been a major update with v1.5 which adds the modulation matrix, so that is good

A toolbox of 65 effects that can be wired together at will including 3rd party VSTs for just $40, wow

checking the magma demo for stability. which of course is more important than price.

...and it can host those third party VSTs inside an AAX host, for those that need to.

...so it basically can load VST effect plugs for use in Pro Tools ?

That's handy

They should make a Magma for Reason too

was going well until hard crash in live 9.6 OSX 10.9.5

simply changing rack models and instant crash.

saddly it doesn't matter how great these deals are. if there are no updates or fixes it's just a cash cow.

Pass.

Personally, I think the Integral Studio Pack is a superior value for $99. The pack includes both Cosmos and Echoes, but also has a ton of other really useful plugins. I particularly love the Blue Tubes effects, for example.

I also experience problems with the Magma demo in FL Studio 12, on Windows 10, 64 bit

No crashes, but lots of hanging, trying to twist knobs they stay stuck for a couple of seconds before moving. CPU hit is low, so it can't be the machine power caving in either...

Could be demo restrictions, but I thought that works fully for 30 days?

topaz · Post by **topaz** » Mon May 09, 2016 4:35 pm

Its not the demo restriction just buggy.

Very tempted by the $99 bundle INTEGRAL STUDIO PACK 3 - Is that everything ?!

soulone82 · Post by **soulone82** » Mon May 09, 2016 5:08 pm

I´ve always found them to be poorly coded, average sounding plug-ins. So I´ll pass. There are way better options these days IMHO...
