The Needham ones a tough one, some nice chains in the demos, but whats what.
Maybe save one slot for the release on the 28th

I see you got Ezykeys, songwriters got more piano than most.
I got core, dirt, alt. rock, electronic, staub, dorfsman, rock, modern pop rock, songwriters, metal essentials, git gods,mastering.
They’re all good. I don;t do metal, but even the 2 metal ones get used here and there, especially when stacking instances.
Its a rippa plug. Looking to get another 6 (Amps,Vocals,Drums,Henderson,Needham),
If i was starting from scratch….Vocal Drum toolkits, Amps, Mastering, as a start ing point
Cores good, haven’t used it much but there’s great tools like virtual sub kick that i know will get a run down the track, the tape echos nice and hey rack tom resized.
Dorfsman got good drums and amps, but if you got Hendo and Amps, your amps should be covered. Bench staub as well, although its all killer no filler, maybe some bombast in your pop-punk
Dirt I really dig to ruin those pretty samples. Spliff kick on the TMF>Skog>LooseStone preset, fiji crack on the snare. Should have a bounce of that kicken round. Awesome for sexy busted ass drum sounds, nice vocals as well.
They’re all good. Miles Macpherson rock, Dark ethereal spreader, transient confuser, HPF/LPF +degrader, loud crisp and moist, killer stuff
Your probably right to stick to post v2.0 sets for now, value wise. I think the task specific sets give you best value to accumulate a solid foundation.
Whitten put us onto electronic, man, use it for percussive one shots/loops or get crazy out of context with it, good for working up modern club sounds.
Alt rock got tidy vocals some of the spacial ones go awesome on stacked backing harmonies

Decisions, decisons dude.

Surely the “programmed midi” is a v-drum performance with maybe some mouse wrangling to finesse any ugly v.curve interpolations.
Straight time sounds possible to transcribe from keyboard, but those fills sound like drums.
At least to me anyway. If they are “hand drawn”, or key drummed, kudos to the programmers.

Florida music has it listed

Could it be done like the Koloss preset? Use C&V as the base samples augmented with custom samples (hello ringy snares, tight punchy kicks). C&V makes a great donor with the damped options for old school studio one style ( the classic 4 mic set up would be handy too). Would also need tape saturation, tape delay, gated reverb/echo chamber channels.
I think an EZX might be a bit too one size fits all for such diverse genre.
Count me in WHEN you get around to releasing it.

Now that there is 6 pack bundles, your best bet is to wait for sales at online retailers such as Audio Deluxe. Got the 6 pack bundle for $109 at the black friday sale (15% off their regular price $129). Thats $18 an add on.

[Jason Hood]

All ezmix, producer presets, and midi packs are generic serials within their respective lines. When you register the serial, will be given a list of all the products within that line (including ones you already own). All you need to do is select which product you would like to register from the list and click continue/submit. This is the same for bundles and single purchases, so I’m not sure why the promotion of genre specific bundles.

“deicidal athiests” ,
LOL of the day

[Jason Hood]

looks more like 2 midi and 2 producer presets.

[Jason Hood]

Audio deluxe has finally added EZmix expansions along with midi packs and producer presets.

[Jason Hood]

The “over compressed thing” is added at the mastering stage, usually at the behest of the label (not the master engineer, who REALLY appreciates being told how to do their job). The expansion packs are really for mixing, focusing on sweetening up individual instrument channels. At most you get 4, usually 1 or 2 but some don’t contain any mastering patches. The “Mastering” pack is naturally an exception, and funnily contains only mastering settings, and I’m sure a couple of its patches tip their hat to the modern mastering scourge (i’m also sure you would be able to dial it back if needed).
By the way I don’t own ezmix yet, but I will pull the trigger on it soon.
From your post, Chuck Ainlay may be the go for wide open clear sound (just going of the leanings in his resume).
And I wouldn’t worry about whats heavy or not, apart from some guitar sims and clicky kicks, most of the other stuff will be very useable if you dial it back from the extreme, this can help avoid some of the cliched genre go to pitfalls.

fizbin,
I used the 3EZX code twice to get 6 of the buggers.
Time and space sell producer presets lower than the TT site IF you are exempt from VAT. their midi’s are also better priced
Best service is comparable to Audiodeluxe (ex VAT) on SDX when non promo (maybe cheaper if their postage is lower, depends where u at), they have good pricing on the 2012 ezmix add ons as well, close to the old price(staub,dirt,master,core only).

[Jason Hood]

Best Service have good pricing on the core,master,staub and dirt sets, IF you are VAT EXEMPT. They only have the 2012 releases listed. Closer to the old pricing than the new. Sorry never the read the rules, so don’t know if posting prices is OK. Just google em, it might be low enough to get you over the line.

[Jason Hood]

Google “Audio Deluxe”. I always check around for prices, but end up going with them every time. Sign up for an account and they will mail you every couple of days with member only, 24hr deals. One deal had 3 EZX for $75 for 24hrs only.
