I can see the appeal of that Creed song. Sounds pretty good on the first listen. I like it way better than Higher already. Iāll give it a few more listens over the next few days to get a better gauge on it. Thanks!

This Chevelle song is kinda cool. Liking it on first listen. Again, Iāll see how I feel about it in a few days. I donāt want to prematurely make a hasty judgementā¦, but so far, so good.

Like I said, im no huge fan or anything but in general I like the vibe of the more powerful songs theyve done
I guess in general I like āpost grungeā with the powerful build on the choruses etc
Like I said, I have a ways to go. i feel im capable of doing stuff like this, its just a matter of putting it all together
and of course, this stuff, good luck lol

Take an old cranky guitar or mandolin or something. Maybe with a slight hangover. Make sure you havenāt done any vocal or finger training a couple of days. Find a nice place in the sun (or in the shade if need be). Take your time and let the music find you. Let the lyrics find you. Donāt forget that most heavy guitar music started out on an acoustic, just playin some blues (or in the case of Zep) folk-like riffs. Donāt start cranking up your Marshall to eleven just yet :drums2:

Has anyone here subscribed to this deal? A friend of mine locally subscribes and he loves it.
Iāve been since they opened it for subā¦ I donāt use every plugin all the time but thereās some things in there that I use on every mix.

Iāve had an active Slate subscription for years. Its a ridiculous value for the price!! One of the best you can buy on a bang-for-the-buck level. If someone already has a highly developed Waves, Plugin Alliance, or UAD library I donāt think it adds a whole lot. But for those that donāt, I can not think of a plugin library anywhere that has that diverse of a tool selection for anywhere near that cheap. Its a game changing value for someone who needs that stuff!!

Does the bundle cause you to run into tool indecisiveness?
The Slate bundle is totally worth it, but you donāt have to take anyoneās word on that because it only costs you like $20 per month to try it out yourself. Youāre not locked in. No-brainer. Then if you think itās worth it, you can get it for $15 per month subscription for the year. Out of curiosity what DAW are you using?

I think Slateās plugins smoke both of those packages. I understand someone liking the UAD stuff, but the Waves package was pretty average when it was new. Weāve come a long way from there.

+1000! 
I knew what to expect, because Iāve owned Slate stuff since the first plugins they put outā¦ but there were a few nice surprises in the bundle that I wasnāt expecting, like the Eiosis De-esser, The Verbsuite Classics, the FG Stress & the FG-A.
My feelings too.
Not for me, but then Iām not particularly a plugin cork-sniffer. If it works, it works - and they definitely work!
Iām using Cubase Elements 9.
Anyone use Kush Audio stuff? I really like that he makes hardware and doesnāt try to emulate other stuff. Iāve got the Omega N Pre and love it. His subscription is only $10 / month. I dislike the subscription model, but if it were rent-to-own Iād sign up yesterday, donlge and all. Their sister company SlyFy can be added for a couple more bucks too.

Ha, havenāt tried those, but with some at $29 it looks like theyāre trying to compete with Waves on at least one level. 
Theyāre $9.99 pr month, and you can add the Sly Fi bundle for $3 extra 
I went ahead and did this, but mainly because I had grown to be heavily dependent on the Kush Clariphonic. After I used them for a year, I decided Iād just buy the Clariphonic. Before I was using the Slate Earth and Air, the UAD Millenia, Chandler Curve Bender and the Maag for the hi-frequency lift that the Clariphonic gives you, but I like the way the Clariphonic does it better.
well, of course. Should they not try to compete with their competitor?

Cool! Please give us some feedback once youāve got some mileage on 'em!
Not so sure heās trying to compete. Those are cheaper āgatewayā plugins to draw you in. I rarely see big sales on the brand which is a little irritating for us bottom feeders. Kush could definitely use a free plugin or two to get some more people using the plugins - IF he ven cares or needs them. But man is that subscription price temptingā¦ Still, itās a subscription.
Waves. Grrrr. Waves is on my sh*t list right now, really since their version 10 āupgradeā. Between plugins not showing up, GUI display issues, their stupid WUP BS and having to reinstall my āoldā plugins with a multi-GB ālegacyā installer that has to be downloaded and installed to get my non-WUPād v9 plugins to work again after I bought a ānewā v10 plugin and updated the Waves Installer program to ā¦ (Rant over.)
Bless you @bozmillar for your creative outside the box high quality plugins and especially your straightforward installation process. 
Back to Kush, absolutely stellar marketing if you ask me. (Which youāre not, I know, but I see to be in rant mode.) He is getting his brand out there. His music is killer (IMHO), plugins are top quality from the ones Iāve tried, his HappyFuntimePodcast is the only podcast I listen to and super informative and entertaining. His music was the first thing that grabbed my attention though. FWIW.

Here ya go.
Yes, absolutely. It was just the exact price point that struck me. Or this:
Is that like āgateway drugsā? 
Thatās kind of what I thought too. I saw these cool $100+ (each) plugins, then a few $29 jobbies. It seemed like an intro/enticement.

I read that one. I guess it wasnāt clear - I meant Kush.
