Great DJ software
Have been really happy with Pro 2, looking forward to digging my hands into Pro 3 now that I've just snagged it! I am not a super advanced DJ, but have not found it hard to learn.

Amazing
Got and ultrawide monitor to improve my workflow. Works like a charm! Also, it's an IPS panel, so colors are very precise for design purposes when I am working on a flyer or something.

Great collection gets greater
Great collection. Originally got V Collection 4 and got a lot of mileage out of the Yamaha CS-80, Oberheim Matrix-12 and Solina emulations in particular. Looking forward to playing with the DX7, CMI Fairlight and Synclavier emulations now!

Endless distorted joy
I can't begin to express how much I love this plugin and I've barely had time to use it. It feels like it has unlimited possibilities and can give you any kind of distortion tone you could possibly want, from subtle and warm to severely mangled, and yet everything sounds musical somehow. Magic!

First pair of bluetooth earbuds
This was my first pair of bluetooth earbuds, meant to replace my Brainwavz S1 which was causing my new smartphone to freak out whenever I plugged them in. I think I made a pretty good choice! I wanted high quality and balanced audio in a form factor that wouldn't fall out of my ears while at the gym, and these fit the bill. Big fan! Audio cuts out briefly on occasion, but it's rare, and probably to be expected from most bluetooth buds.

Glorious EQ
Best EQ I have used. Beautiful interface, amazing visual feedback, great for surgical applications and mastering as well as on individual tracks. Auto-gain feature is very useful as well. Essential!
Version: FabFilter Pro-Q 2

Classic
I have only recently discovered Vintagewarmer, and my understanding is that it is a bit overused, but that's obviously for a reason, because it sounds amazing! A very unique compressor/saturation tool which seems quite versatile and useful for both production or mastering. I also really appreciate that it comes with Microwarmer to eat less CPU when deployed on individual tracks. Also managed to get this bundled with a free PSP E27 EQ! =)

everyone was blown way by vintage warmer when it came out or when they first tried it... don't worry, it'll get less and less appealing, especially as a master bus effect. If you're mix is really kickin' already, particularly bass and drums, then the vintage warmer isn't going to make it sound better, just different.

I mainly intend to use this for production/mangling audio. I have Ozone 8 Advanced for mastering and don't expect to be using a lot of Vintagewarmer for that purpose, but we'll see.

Nice! Somewhat confusing
Lovely sounding delay and modulation! Interface is a bit confusing to me, and I definitely prefer Surreal Machines Dub Machines (Modnetic + Diffuse) to this, but this is still nice.

Obsessed
I am obsessed with this plugin. A huge variety of delays and reverbs with flexible routing and controls, excellent sound quality, and beautiful interface. Part of the Dub Machines collection. Amazing stuff!

AMAZING!
This is amazing for mastering applications of course, but as you can deploy all the individual components as separate VSTs the Advanced version makes it so much more versatile and useful on the production side as well. Blown away by the combined powers of the Vintage Limiter and Maximizer, as well as the Multiband Exciter, and the visual tools are quite useful as well (Stereo Imager, Tonal Balance Control). Still learning the Dynamic EQ, and I tend to prefer FabFilter Pro-Q 2 as my go-to EQ, but this one is still great. Some say it's overpriced, but I managed to score it for about $270 by following the upgrade path from Elements to Standard to Advanced when they were on sale. Essential!!!

Great controller
A variety of controls (wheels, faders, knobs, buttons, pads, etc.), a clear layout, keys feel decent. Only complaints include that it isn't natively compatible with Ableton (you can use it, it just requires additional setup) and no 5-pin DIN connections, both of which were features I overlooked when I bought it. But I am happy with it. I appreciate that the knobs have labels suggesting what controls they should be assigned to, it makes it feel more like a hardware synth rather than a totally blank slate where you are left trying to commit to memory which control you assigned to which knob...

Excellent low-end choice, not perfect
I got these because I wanted something that would stay in my ears a little better at the gym but didn't want to sacrifice quality. They deliver! Maybe a tad harsh in the upper mids, but only if you crank it. Solid bass, but not the kind that muddies up the mix a lot. Recommended! I unfortunately can't use them anymore though because my new smartphone freaks out when I plug them in for some reason, so I switched to some bluetooth buds (Advanced Model 3).

Fantastic so far
I managed to snag this brand new at half the normal cost as a replacement for my Focusrite Forte (drivers were too unstable for me). Sounds brilliant, looks great, and very simple to use. Big fan of the tactile buttons vs the press-and-hold icons on the Forte screen. The software control panel is very nice as well. Roland has been hit-or-miss with synths and stuff lately, but this thing seems to be a massively underrated unit, especially considering the price (even without the discount I got). Why are there almost no reviews out there???

Very good cable, though I prefer Mogami
I have almost exclusively Mogami in my studio, though I have a few long LiveWire Elites laying around, mainly for my Harbinger PA.

Cheap stand
ProLine makes cheap stuff. Holds a mic just fine, though I would be afraid of knocking it over really easily on my desk. I bought this on an impulse and I don't even use it for anything.

Cheap stands
I bought these cheap ProLine stands for my cheap Harbinger PA speakers. They work! Though I worry they will break easily. We'll see how long they last.

Saves space!
I had a larger Auralex Mudguard mic shield, but it took up too much room on my desk. This is small and fits in my desk no problem. Probably not as good as the Auralex, but I didn't have a whole lot of options.

Cheap, works fine
I got this on sale for $10. Needless to say it's not the most mind-blowing mic ever, but it does the job. It's a dynamic mic with a supercardioid pickup pattern. Has some handling noise, but hard to complain about it at the price I paid.
