I checked this out and definitely didn't see 100 items on sale. Perhaps they're including each individual item in the various rig bundles towards the count, but in terms of individually priced items, it seemed to be closer to 25-30 items. I didn't count, but definitely not 100...

[decibel]

theres a lot still on sale but you have to comb through the rack extensions section unfortunately

ie; i just noticed dcam dynamics bundle is on sale for $28

[siln]

eyes on fet 75 and antidote 79 if I get these im really stocked for a while ...

[Nirude]

Maybe I´ll buy this now ..... https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/ ... signature/

I could be wrong, but I suspect the Prop shop's December deals page is not fully updated yet. I'm glad to see some of the sales continue, though. There's a few more I wasn't able to pick up over the weekend that I still plan to grab before the year is out.

[pjeudy]

No sales from Selig, kilohearts Grrrr... it's a short list hoping more will be added !

We do have a thread for keeping track of these things

Although, this morning I deleted all of the other links when the December Deals was announced.
I just restored them as it seems the Deals page needs a refresh.
I started to list them individually by developer...

For now you might see some repeated from the deal, but not all included in the deal listed a second time in the list.

PS...that DCAM bundle has been on sale since Black Friday

Looking at GQ7 but just as Reasons own spectrum EQ, I do find myself missing a more detailed frequency meter. Are they often that limited? If I can go very narrow with Q-knob and see the flow of audio, I also need to see more precise where I am cutting or boosting. Any other having the same opinion?

[satyr32]

Exactly the same opinion. Also ElectricPandas Spectrum has the same issue.
I sometimes add a super loud sine at the HZ I want to cut, so I can see better see where the frequency is, but is very tedious.

[Yonatan]

Another question...about PIANO-sound. I do have both Reason piano refill and Radikal Piano. Now I do see about the Emotionell Piano for €49. I really love the sound of this one, but wonder what is special with it compared to what I already have?
I have just now downloaded my "try"-period but still want to hear some "experts" if that one has something unique or if it can be easily achieved with some tweaking of the other pianos when it comes to "hi damp" etc. What is your opinion?
Is this one comparable with Alan Parsons Imperial Grand Piano refill when it comes to softness? I know they sometimes have it for sale at 15 dollar. Would it be a better choice to wait and get that one instead?

[Yonatan]

I do see there are ordinary knobs in the GQ7 that do show frequency figures. Those figures changes automatically if I slide through the graphic spectrum.

Just realized not everything on sale is listed on the sale page. Still just 34 items on the page linked to the sale banner (including each rig as one item). I guess props will update it eventually. Good to give my wallet a rest I suppose until props webmaster gets his ducks in line...

I've got every piano available for Reason and personally Emotional Piano is my favorite and is the one I always write with. It blows Alan Parsons out of the water. It's not even close. Not saying Parsons piano is terrible. It's serviceable, but is definitely a cut below. (btw if you're interested in a relatively cheap piano check out Granny Piano on sale now for a piano with a lot of character.)

I've got to say though that Emotional Piano is quite limited. While it does one thing VERY well (dark dampened moody piano) it doesn't do anything else very well and while there are different patches with slightly different feels the effects are all built in to the patch and not accessible by the GUI (i.e. you can't adjust the amount of reverb on a given patch, you just get whatever the patch designer decided on, can only adjust pedal noise, key noise, etc.). Reason Pianos is far better overall I'd say. Much more versatile with three different pianos sampled and tons of choices for mic placements on each piano as well as lots of great combinators. Reason Pianos can do a lot more than Emotional Piano, but can't do exactly the same thing. For my personal inspiration, Emotional Piano is worth the money.

Edit: Just revisited emotional piano and might have overstated things here. See my comment further in the thread for some Emo Piano backpedalling.

[Yonatan]

Thanks for your input JNeffLind! Will try it out and compare and see how it feels.

Another question! Looking at Loudness meter measurmants but are not so techy about it yet (wanting to learn) but wonder what is your advice between "Flower Audio Loudness Meter" €19 and "RE 128 Loudness Meter" €19 by Red Rock Sound. I need it eventually for both music production and video/broadcast. Can you use either of them? Which you prefer?

[pjeudy]

Man I really like the sound of emotional piano....I just wish you could turn off any effect on it...and have it dry .

I think the factory preset default is without effect?

I don't own it, but made a couple patches when I tried it.
One is a device patch and another a Combinator patch. Dunno...

i noticed, thats why i mentioned it here

[pjeudy]

I would love for Dcam to add more features to there Env Shaper...But I gotta say ..I use that device on every kick and percussive sounds! I love it.
DCAM Dynamics Processing bundle
FXpansion
$28.00

[Yonatan]

Softube tubetech is more or less the same price now as the 3 piece bundle VST plugins.
I think they would have it cheaper for Reason because it only works in one single DAW and cannot be traded if one wish to move to other DAW.
Either they have a cross-deal where you get it on all platforms RE+VST, or they better make RE a better deal. That is my opinion. I want that blue beauty but do hesitate a lot because I might need to use other DAW later on because of video and then I am not going to buy a double up.

I'm not sure I understand what you guys are talking about. Do you mean you wish the frequency meter displayed finer/smaller values? For example, instead of 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, etc, do you want it to display 100Hz, 125Hz, 150Hz, 175Hz, 200Hz, 225Hz, etc?

One minor thing I would like is for the spectrum analyzer on/off switch to be on the front of the device, not the back.

Aside from that, I'm trying to decide if the GQ-7 is something I really need since it's on sale. Is this a "must have Re" that I should buy?
