Harrison Mixbus is selling their console channel strip EQ for £44. This is the same that come in the DAW. Here's the link to download the demo https://harrisonconsolesstore.onfast...nnel-installer Here's the link to buy the plugin https://harrisonconsolesstore.onfast...hannel-license

Believe me not like Reaper Mania, I'm talking structured from first time you open the DAW to how to create your own FX. I know other DAWs are catching up but still not like it.

Not only that but unlike any other DAW, everything you need to know about Reaper is documented in one place and for free. Kenny Gioia is the Reaper Enciclopedia. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq297H7Ca98HlB5mVFHGSsQ That is another very good reason to go Reaper. Now having said that, the natural progression for the poster is Logic, he already is half the way to master it completely. Remember the best DAW is the one you already know.

For those of you who installed "Decent Sampler", here is a list with 18 newly converted instruments. ENJOY!!! https://www.pianobook.co.uk/forums/topic/18-exs24-instruments-in-decentsampler/

Always my friend, they call me "Doctor Freebie" Here is another great one, it's an older version (when it was free) but still great, it is a guitar suite and comes with one Ampeg model and cabs plus tons of effects. https://plugins4free.com/plugin/3003/

This one is a very good free bass amp https://lostin70s.com/plugins/BassDeluxe

What the nice friend above just said, absolutely the truth.

Yes that is a very good take. I think the main issue with home recording is that most of the times people don't have enough knowledge on production and what needs to be done in order to get the best recordings.

I've been a patreon for the last 2 years. I used them in all my projects and they sound really good. Tunca (the developer) keeps improving the plugins constantly and adding new stuff every month.

That can be solved to a degree with software. I mix with headphone and in my research I have found the best setup for my needs. 1- Morphit (basically it flattens the frequencies of my headphones) 2 - CanOpener (This provides crosstalk to my headphones, this is to correct the stereo field issues) I found that using this combo my mixes translate better.

Another heads up, for those looking for a no frills easy to use guitar amp suite, United Plugins is introducing their "Electrum" guitar suite for only €15 (around £13). You can download the trial and see if you like it. this offer is only available for 14 days. https://unitedplugins.com/Electrum/

For those who where looking for something new drumming wise, Melda Production's MDrummer is going for £85 on Plugin Boutique. It might now be pretty but hell it has everything you'll ever need for a drum plugin. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/7-Drum-Machine/1133-MDrummer And you get Presonus Fat Channel XT for free!!

Another one for those who need a guitar suite, Presonus Ampire is going for £26 https://shop.presonus.com/software/Software-Category--Plug-ins/Brand--PreSonus/Instruments--Guitars?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Save+50%25+on+Ampire+and+Ampire+HD&utm_content=Happy+(early)+Father%27s+Day!+Take+50%25+off+Ampire+and+Ampire+High+Density&utm_campaign=2021-06-14&_bta_tid=34368020995476397541968689224696300045415026279618890258749124908735784309770060033935214816032664562698 This offer ends on 21/06 so hurry up!!

Heads up, Plugin Boutique is giving away Presonus Fat Channel XT (which comes with 1 gate expander, 3 compressors and 3 EQ) for free with every purchase no matter the amount.

You can always try MT-Powerdrumkit, it might not beat the Logic Drummer thingy but it has it's value and contains a ton of free drum loops that can be arranged as a song (much like EzDrummer). If you are looking for a couple of free drumkits then you can always download the AVL-Drumkits (Made for AV-Linux but they have a vst version) http://www.bandshed.net/avldrumkits/ Another great plugin is the Slate SD5.5 which is totally free and sounds fantastic.

For those in need of a good set of piano instruments, here a good one only £8.95 https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/64-Virtual-Instrument/4461-Essential-Keyboard-Collection - Steinway Grand Piano - Upright Piano - Yamaha Grand Piano - Rhodes Mark I - Rhodes Mark II - Electric Organ - Pianet - Harpsicord - Toy Piano - Clavichord - Harmonium - Tonewheel Organs - Church Organ

Once you get access to external VST's it is good, S1 is a very good DAW. I think that upgrade price is quite good, if the offer ends it is worthy to keep an eye on Plugin Boutique they always have upgrades coming at very nice prices.

Izotope Nectar Elements is free until May 6th!!! https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2021/04/29/izotope-nectar-free/ Go and get it while you can.

Amplitube has a very nice offer (Only for Amplitube 5, they work with the free version too) - Fender Collection (7 amps & 7 cabs) - Ampeg SVX2 Collection (3 amps & cabs) Each one for €25 (Euros) Offer ends on May 4th.

Soniccouture "Hammersmith" is pretty much unbeatable specially for the price ($0). https://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/p322-hammersmith-free/

The Nolly is a hell of an amp sim.

You may probably be interested in "Decent Sampler" it is part of the Pianobook project and it is meant to be the free option for their Kontakt and EXS24 libraries. Download the sampler here: https://www.decentsamples.com/product/decent-sampler-plugin/ And if you create a free account in Pianobook then you can Browse all the EXS24 libraries (those had been converted to Decent Sampler, the Kontakt ones will be converted soon). There are more than 100 instruments you can download and use for free. https://www.pianobook.co.uk/

It's still a bloody recorder. the stuff of nightmares !!! 🤣🤣🤣

And this is the best take I've seen in this thread so far. It is true Reaper tries too hard to please everyone's desires and could turn into a real headache.

It is the usual I use Apple so therefore everything else is kids play BS. Sorry if Logic works for you then great but it doesn't mean every other software is crap just because. every DAW is only as good as the user and still I managed to get everything else you got in Logic for less than the £199 you paid for it. Believe it or not. As for Linux maybe there are not software as great as the ones you named but that doesn't mean you can't do professional work using it. All I hear is the same Apple rules and the rest drool kind of attitude.
