Is Soundtoys' Little Radiator worth $10 to you? (Christmas 2018)

not that stupendous
I passed on the Little MicroShift for the same price a few weeks back because I just couldn't realistically imagine needing it anytime in the near future, and while $10 isn't a lot, it's still too much to spend on something I'll never use.

I can imagine using Little Radiator if it's useful. What do you lot think?

I passed on it. 10 bucks is 10 bucks. I did, however, buy the Little Plate for $10 awhile back and it's worth that a much, much more.
 
All my Soundtoys 'Little' Titles are available for trade-up to full Soundtoys 5.
My cost has been down near $100. at times. Worth considering as these individual deals arise.....
That's worth bearing in mind too. If I can spend $10 now to save $40 later, that is definitely worth considering. I still feel like I shouldn't buy something that doesn't justify its own price tag.
 
When I bought EchoBoy for $50 in a sale last year, EchoBoy Jr. came as part of the deal. Something to think about, as the big brothers go on sale from time to time.

Little Plate was a Christmas gift from Soundtoys not too long ago. Other people have told me that they've given away a lot of the Little Ones over the years, I suppose they did that when they introduced them, as that was the case with Little Plate.

And the freebies add up to discounts for the full package.
 
I got it for free since I own the bundle, but it's totally worth the $10. I occasionally use it to take that digital edge off synth patches.

Everything they make is top class and very useful. I remember applying MicroShift + Little Plate to some creepy vocals from 8Dio's FV Cait...boy that was fun! :grin:
 
What a horrible comment to make about a fantastic company……………maybe rephrase your subject line to "Who here likes Little Radiator and why?"

How would you feel if someone asked that about a cue you'd written?

These developers are just as creative as we are and without their tools, we'd be lost.
 
I found that getting the inexpensive ones when they are on sale really helped me when I upgraded to Anthology X, and made the upgrade to XI $1. So if you are wanting to build towards the full set, they are definitely worth buying.

That’s not a horrible comment. $10 can buy a meal. I wouldn’t waste any dollar amount on something that isn’t useful.
 
It's a very good distortion plug-in. I've used it and will again.

Sound Toys is one of the best plug-in developers out there. The story: Ken B and Bob are former Eventide engineers who worked on the classic H3000. They're really good, in fact the only plug-ins I still miss after giving up my Pro Tools TDM system however many years ago are theirs - Pitch Blender and Time Blender.

I would read their question, and if it seemed my cue wouldn't meet their needs, then I'd advise them to spend their money on a cue that would. I'm not questioning the quality of the company or their plugins; I'm questioning the specific usefulness of Little Radiator to the folks who frequent this board. Nevertheless, I've modified the thread title, and I'll state outright that Soundtoys is, by all appearances, the greatest and best company in the world.:2thumbs:
 
Having the bundle, I splashed out the $10 (minus some cash in the plugin boutique bank) to buy this again, then gave the license away as a Christmas present. The recipient, now has several of the freebies from Soundtoys (plate, sie q , devil-loc) so adding this to his collection, will bring down his upgrade price, should he ever decide to upgrade.
