[TheHobbit]

I've had a spending spree over the last month and stocked up on some deals and items been after a while :

ScannedSynthPro, it's a pay what you think it's worth donation affair so good value.

Get some grungy, organic sounds that are quite distinctive if used sensibly. The GUI is a little off putting but fon't let that deter you, under the hood it's doing some wonders.

z3Ta+ currently $20/£15 bought it cause its great value, lots of patches available and again compliments the Virus.

Synth1 freeware has just had an update. Great emu of a nord lead and will load the nords patches...really nice plugin with 1000's of presets out there.

Zebra is actually x64beta and I am loving this synth, a lot to learn.

Slyenth1 the trance master which compliments the Virus very well.

De La Manchas queen B to really drive your bass end (got a De La Mancha bundle for £21 quid some nice vintage effects.

FabFfilter Pro-Q to shape you sounds.mixes and got Pro-C which is great for sidechaining.

Another two compressors that are my goto for every channel strip : The Rocket (Stillwell) and The Glue...great value for money.

Sonalksis Studio One (another No Cracks deal), excellent effects and compression just waiting for their x64 and VST3 update (hopefully if they keep their word).

And for Mastering (aside fromthe Sonalksis kit) Voxengos Polysquasher and Elephant. Voxengo have a good deal at the moment worth checking out.

On my to buy list and appreciate any comments/feedback :

Monitor Speakers (probably KRK6s or8s)
NI Machine or considering Akasi MPC2500 with jjOS.
