As some kind folks in these forums pointed me towards this site for this company's noise reduction plugin I just found they are offering that and the other plugins for a limited time with 50% off. So if you're also on a limited budget ....
In 5 minutes I dl the trial, read the help file, applied to an iRiver groom mic gone out of control, and was AMAZED at the results. Brought my wife in to hear the difference, and she could see the value. No schmoozing necessary!
mine heard the difference, but when I said "On sale for only $60, normally $120 and the Sony one is $200!" I didn't get a resounding "so buy it!". But, he DID ask if I'll keep talking to her about it until I get it. :) That's a plus!
