Thanks for the heads up on these. I couldn’t resist — for $19 I had to grab one, so I choose Rapture.
There’s more going on at Cakewalk, too. You get these low prices buying through DON’TCRACK.com, but if you are looking for a rather good drum machine VSTi, Cakewalk is offering its SessionDrummer2 directly at its own site’s store for $19 also. It’s a fine commercial drums, formerly $99.
The reason for this markdown is that their SessionDrummer3 is now out (for $99, I think). Also, at the Cakewalk store all the expansion packs for the two VSTi synths you first mentioned are significantly marked down. Most are $19 each, with the larger ones more. Just for example, there are 2 or 3 Rapture expansions that are $19 and said to be very good. Same deals on some of the Dimension Pro as well.
Don’t you love it? Practically everywhere you look now the top-dollar synths and some of the most expensive plugin FX are tumbling way low in price. It’s clearly become a buyer’s market! Cheers!
