![]() ![]() The Ampeg emulations are just magic when it comes to getting that bass sound that cuts through the mix. The BX Boom can do wonders with a bass drum not to mention the drum replacer for that troublesome snare or tom sound. The Brainworx Focusrite Channel is nothing short of amazing on Drum overheads and the BX SSL Channels have become part of my guitar sound. I can tell you that there is a substantial amount of them that have become my go to for certain tracks. I am not going to tell you that I have used them all, I would not get anything done if I continued to experiment with every plugin in this bundle considering their are over 100 to choose from. I will be honest, many of the plugins have become an important part of my mixing and mastering toolkit in that time. Now, I have had the Mega Bundle for about 6 months now. Developers like Brainworks, Elysia, Lindall, Ampeg, SPL, Chandler Audio and Dangerous Audio, to name a few, all have a great standing in the industry. Each of the companies represented here have established a strong reputation for quality plugins and are recognized in the industry as such. ![]() The value of any software collection or bundle hinges on the reputation of the developers and their plugins. Some such as Ampeg and SPL, have had their plugins ported to other platforms such as the Universal Audio DSP card system. Unlike other software subscription bundles the Mega Bundle contains a wide variety of developers as opposed to just one company. But I am also impressed buy the scope of developers that are included in this bundle. Each one found a home in my mixing and mastering toolkit. I have, in the past, been a customer of the Plugin Alliance for various other single plugin purchases. The next factor that put me over the edge when deciding to invest into this collection was the quality of plugins that were included. The best part is they include any updates and additions to their plugin catalog into your bundle, so if there is a new plugin or an update to an existing one you get it! Second, they allow you to authorize up to 3 machines for each subscription! This is huge for me as I often use my laptop for off site recording and demo mixing and a great collection of plugins is a big plus. If you do want to commit to a more long term lease, you can opt for the annual lease, which gives you a substantial savings over the month by month option. For me this was important, because if I did not find anything that was useful I did not want to continue playing for something I was not going to use. ![]() When they announced the “Mega Bundle” I was intrigued.įirst was the subscription price and terms, for $24.95 a month for the month by month subscription, you are not locked into any long term commitment. I have purchased plugins from the Plugin Alliance over the last few years and they have become part of my mixing and mastering toolkit. Developers like Adobe (which uses the leasing model exclusively), Slate Digital, SSL and McDSP (Through Gobbler) to name a few. Increasingly software companies have adopted the “Lease” business model. These include, at the time of this review:Īmpeg, Acme Audio, Analog Digital Associates, ADPTR Audio, Black Box Analog Design, Brainworx, Chandler Limited, Dangerous Music, Dear Reality, Diezel Amplification, DS Audio Software, Elysia, ENGL, Fiedler Audio, Lindell Audio, Louder than Liftoff, Mäag Audio, Millennia Media, Noveltech Audio, Pro Audio DSP, Purple Audio, SCHOEPS, Shadow Hills, SPL, Unfiltered Audio and Vertigo Sound The Mega Bundle ![]() The companies that are now under this “alliance” are some of the industries top hardware and software developers with more slated to come on board in the near future.
