Do any of the resellers normally offer the Black Friday sales for DDMF?

I actually think that so far on initial tests, I prefer the Kazrog 747 to the UA 737.. not sure if that's just that I would prefer the 747 hardware as I've never used either, but the Kazrog seems better IMO.

Mercury gets you all new releases in the next year...

Downside...it will be $240 for WUP...

Given their last shifting of the goalpost with trying to go subscription only, I'm starting to question whether it's safe even banking on the $240 cap being safe anymore...

Thanks!

do you plan to buy it?

i think I might get similar price. I have Horizon and some other plugins and got similar direct quote from waves.

UAD or this? What would be better? I can afford only one. Right now I got no plugin from UAD!

last time I had decided not to buy from waves anymore but this is getting tempting!

UAD any day of the week over Waves.

Waves do have some great plugins, but UA for the equivalents are on par, or better in most cases, but no WUP and I'd say overall a better company, albeit plenty of people have been unhappy with them recently too!

There are some tools Waves has that UA doesn't have natively yet, but nothing really unique, or exceptional that you can't get elsewhere.

Waves offers do get tempting at times though.. I get it.. be strong! 🤣

I had £5 in my account. I got it when I first registered with them. So I got Synth Drums for free practically. So check if you have the £5  gift in your account. 

I've bought a couple of things through them, so I've already used up anything like that. Not sure if registering a new account would work through.

Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

Does anyone happen to know if Synth Drums is included in any of their other sample packs apart from complete, or with their drum machines, like Triaz, Drumvolution, etc?

If you buy from UAD you do not end up with additional iLok licenses.  They just don't re-add existing licenses.

That's interesting.. I didn't know that. I had assumed duplicates from them too. Not that they would be worth much even if UA changes it's policy and allows us to sell them, but I do prefer having the duplicates anyway just in case.

PluginDiscounts refunded my purchase and I received the following email:
 

No bad feelings towards PluginDiscounts.

In the end it worked out in my favor.
I turned around and bought it at UAD using a $25 coupon/voucher that would have expired Dec 1st.

Yeah definitely can't blame them at all. UA stuffed up and they were caught in the middle. Glad to hear it worked out even better for ya 🙂

My serial came through after like 30 seconds, so I'm afraid you're likely out of luck.

Nah I'm all good, I tested it on myself and made sure it worked before posting this deal and got my keys in seconds too.

More so just if UA tries to reverse it for not owing Diamond.

Well hopefully mine went through early enough, because otherwise they only sent me a crappy $50 coupon to upgrade to Producer which is a hard pass!

I took screenshots of the product listing saying ANY bundle, so I'd still challenge it.

Afterall, it was UAs terrible handling of the situation that caused people to go that route.

It might be a little more grey for anyone that didn't own A bundle at all prior, but even still I reckon a lot will get to keep them if they moved quick by the sounds.

Which link? The link in the original post is still up.

It was the AudioDeluxe one at the time. Plugin Discounts were still up. I did see someone placed an order at AudioDeluxe afterwards, so they might have needed to check/refresh keys or something Kal.

Looks like they pulled them both for now though!

The official UAD spokesperson is even posting the AudioDeluxe offer and suggesting people to buy there. 

That link doesn't work now, it's access denied.. I wonder if they ran out of keys.

I’m finding these no-glitch UAD glitches a bit too weird. 

Are they cashing in?

Are they being bought?

Have they been bought?

Will all plugins be free with (free) Luna?

Will all plugins be free with Logic next?

I have been having a suspicion they're going to be part of Soundwide / Native Instruments.

I think that this is a mistake...so if they honor it I'll be very happy!

I did wonder that and it all works to upgrade. The wording is the same across both sites, that it's a crossgrade from any bundle. Likely they meant Diamond and Mix as they already said they were excluding Essentials from custom vouchers and same with Creative.

They may update the wording on the pages, but I think they likely pulled this as their helpdesk was going into meltdown with everyone requesting upgrade pricing.

Hard to know with UA these days though! Haha...

I wonder if there's any competent person working for UA anymore. Seems like they're going full Looney Tunes.

I do not believe so.. pretty safe to say they have officially left the building 🤣

I took the plunge.

It works without owning a bundle.

Thanks for ruining my child's christmas.

Ooops.. at least if they're complaining about no presents you can add some nice delay, reverb and vintage mojo to the voice 😎

I'm waiting for UA support to give me a discount (Diamond > Signature) but I wonder if it'll be any cheaper.

Probably not.

I don't want to sway you either way just in case, but at best I'd imagine it's the same.

Any thoughts on Harrison? 

I know it's still not fully clear whether our existing Cakewalk installs will work indefinitely, or what it might cost to keep using the new, supported version, and I'm looking ahead.

$80 for a perpetual DAW license is quite appealing - but at this price, Harrison, Reaper, and Presonus' Studio 1 artist are all in that $80-100 range. I like the look of Harrison's workflow, but recall that it was less stable for some users who run virtual instruments (which I do).

I love mixing in Harrison and totally worth it for that alone. Reaper is probably better for MIDI/VST instruments though in that price range. I prefer Cubase, but Reaper is a damn good price!

UA has become totally uninteresting for now and I may even unsubscribe for a bit until they work out decent offers for existing customers based on what you own. UA is in the bottom of my Black Friday sales for now.

If you like Harrison here's the link of 32C V9 version for $79 , enjoy

https://harrisonconsolesstore.onfastspring.com/mb32cv9-jump-offer

I may regret it, as if they do integrate, or bundle SSL, I might end up paying more, but I have been thinking of waiting to see what happens there, so maybe V10 for me.

Thanks for sharing the link for the discount though 🙂

I love some of their stuff... but damn that sounds expensive for it! Haha..

Seems it's a basic version not 32C version. And the attached XT plugins can only be used in the Harrison console.

Not sure if Solid Slate will give up the DAW or not as it seems I can't find the product in their new website.

Yep, they do tend to do the really cheap bundle with the basic version. I have considered buying it one time for the plugins more, as they work in 32C which I own and it's cheaper than buying them individually. A couple of them I really like too. Simple, but very good.

I don't think SSL will, but it's always hard to know for sure. I can more imagine them having SSL bundles and also integrating some of them natively inside Mixbus, which would be really good if it panned out that way (and the price wasn't absurdly high)

With Harrison, everything seems like it's slowly being migrated across to the SSL store.. they did have some bumps though.. I could redeem the iLok version of Mastering EQ for free, but at first it never sent the license to my iLok. It's working now though.

I wouldn't know a thing 😄

But, I figured it was good to throw out there before people get blinded by the 95% off thing and engage full fomo-mode. Just to see what's happening around and go from there.

These videos almost always get misquoted and people bring them up and say they apply to the DAW, so you're definitely not alone 🤣

Always pays to think twice, or be suspicious of anything 95% off. Even though in audio, for some stupid reason it's so prevalent so it's a minefield at times!

Nice work with posting so many deals too!
