Focusrite Plugin Collective
I didn't know whether to post this in the hardware or DAW section, but for anyone who has Focusrite gear, make sure to register it online so you can get some free plugins through their Plugin Collective. It gets updated every month, and I've scored a few very useful plugins from there.
This month they have a lite version of the BIAS amp simulator plugin (and stand-alone app). I haven't tried it yet, but I've actually been looking at a lot of YouTube reviews recently and from what I've heard so far, it sounds pretty amazing. The lite version that I downloaded from Focusrite lacks a lot of the tweaking features, but it does let you mess with the preamp section, and it doesn't have the momentary audio dropouts that the demo version has.
It also let me choose one free instrument from Addictive Keys, which is apparently a really good VSTi key/piano sim (and normally costs $90). https://www.xlnaudio.com/addictivekeys
Check it out!

Have another look at the site. They might not be offering them anymore, but they're really good hardware emulations of their Red series compressor and EQ.

If I remember correctly it's all part of the download. It's not an iLok thing.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2017 7:17 pm Looks like it is available for me to download. question is do i need a license key or anything? Probably.

If it's there for you to download, it's yours. I got the red bundle for free with my interface.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2017 7:17 pm Looks like it is available for me to download. question is do i need a license key or anything? Probably.

Re: Focusrite Plugin Collective
Yes, I really like the SoftTube stuff they give you as well. For Christmas I upgraded to the 2nd gen 2i2 and got an Addictive Drums perk too. The Bias AMP Sim plug in does sound great, tried it for the first time last weekend and was really pleased.
