Versatile plugin for lush basses and synths

Decent plugin. You can make some really lush reese basses and neurofunk synths!

Ideal for recording DJ mixes on the go

I use this for my portable Numark CD DJ Mixer to record DJ Mixes for soundcloud, mixcloud and other sites. Although I normally use Pioneer CDJs for DJing live. Definitely worth the $100

Gnarly distortion for hardcore producers

Was introduced to this through my hardcore/hardstyle producer friends. You can make some really gnarly and distorted sounds with this bad bitch. Def worth the 150$

Exploring unique sounds and creative arpeggiators

I am pretty new to this synth but it definitely looks promising. There are some very weird sounds in this thing, the sequencer for effects and gating makes for some really interesting arpeggiators! Worth the 140$

A bit pricey for limited use

I barely use this, but I shall in the future. A little too expensive for 400$ though.

phenomenal vocal processing suite with top-notch features

Amazing vocal processing suite. The pitch editor, breath controller and auto tune is phenomenal. So worth the 300$

amazing versatility and sound quality for $100

AMAZING piano for Kontakt 5. It's super crisp, you can alter the timbre, envelope, release and velocity of the keys very easily and intuitively. The FX version of it is also stellar, as it allows you to create really weird sounds out of it. Definitely worth 100$

limited growl effects but overpriced and underwhelming filters

The only thing I like about this is that you can create standard formant vowels with the bandreject to create cookie-cutter growls, which IMO is only good if you want to add characteristic to sounds that aren't necessarily a true growl bass. Not worth 100$ IMO give the crappy filters that this thing claims to be superior at. Oh well!

versatile player for organic sound layering at a premium price

This is an amazing player. It allows me to use a variety of organic instruments and sounds that I've purchased online. It allows you to play more than one instrument per note which makes for on-the-go musical layering. For 400$, you can't go wrong with it! Although I did find it expensive initially. But that comes with becoming a producer, you must invest invest invest!

Exploring endless sonic possibilities with innovative synthesis features

Super impressed by this synth. I've recently purchased this over a week ago and have noticed such possibilities that come with this synth. You can morph additive synth oscillators with FM synthesis oscillators while ingeniously controlling every parameter of each waveform. Not to mention the waveshapers, filters, effects, granulization, and resampling that you can ALSO morph into your synths together. This thing is a mind fuck. And I am loving every bit of it!! Definitely worth the 200$, though I got it on sale for 100$ :) Cheers NI!

Powerful synth with complex sound design potential

This synth is an absolute monster. You can create very intricate and lush sounds. Although this synth is highly complex, I still find it hard for me to learn inside and out. In due time! Definitely worth the 200$

Versatile synth for iconic growls and bandpass sounds

Been using this since the start of 2012. It is definitely the synth I know the best. Although the scene is saturated with the synth, I still find it handy to create the infamous growls and bandpass square synths. Definitely worth the 200$

Budget-friendly keyboard with connectivity concerns

Super light, only 99$, covers 4 octaves of notes. This is the perfect budget keyboard for your production needs! I would take care of the USB cord though, they tend to pry on the insert making it a nuisance when it doesn't connect without using tape or a tooth pick. Great production non-the-less!

A great secondary DAW for complex sounds and effects

Just purchased this week! Although Ableton is a phenomenal DAW, it is my second DAW of choice. I am an FL Head for life, but this also helps me achieve very complicated sounds and effects :)

From amateur to enthusiast: a journey in music production

I started out using this for fun when I was 18, creating hardstyle and hardcore music. My mixdowns and masterings were TERRIBLE. But the idea, arrangements, melodies, were ahead of its time in the hardstyle scene. I then decided I loved what I was doing and started learning everything I can about music production.
