VIVID STRINGS is a meticulously crafted chamber strings sample library, featuring the rich and intimate sounds of a range of elite performers including those from the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Recorded in a dry studio environment, this collection captures the essence of each string instrument in vivid detail, offering a close, intimate sound that retains the unique character of the players. The library includes a diverse range of articulations, including scripted Legato, Sustain, Tremolo, Arc Vibrato, Staccato, and more, each recorded with precision to bring depth and realism to any composition.
Designed for flexibility, VIVID STRINGS will be released in sections (V1, V2, Viola, Cello, Double Bass) and eventually as a complete ensemble, making it ideal for composers and producers seeking nuanced and expressive string sounds.

We've got a brand new homepage design! We can now show all of the information people usually search for in one place:
- Latest deals
- Popular products
- Popular brands
- Deals Under $5
- Deals Under $10
- New Lowest Price
In the sidebar you'll see we have a range of additional suggestions options there too plus under the search bar on the homepage you'll see the "Advanced Search" option which gives you more options in a far clearer way.
Hopefully people like the new layout!

Zynaptiq Morph 2 for 70 Euros with code…
Lowest price so far

Working fine here. Phaseplant 50% off plus extra 15% off makes it €72.80 or around $80

I think they work with Kontakt Player actually

Correct. it's not possible to track prices across hundreds of stores because when 1 website makes a small layout change it breaks the scraper and we have to rewrite it. So rather than having hundreds of scrapers watching different stores we focus on the main 20 or so to get 90% of the price history info

And just in time for the heavy duty shopping season!
FWIW, my top uses would be:
1. Find the best price on a specific item
2. Find a decent cheap item at a specific store to pick up a free with purchase
3. Shop sales by specific Devs I like
4. Set Email Notifications for items I'm watching
...
Bonus: I didn't think I cared, but I find the Price History feature very useful too.
Once again, really impressive job on this and a great idea! Kudos!
Thanks Mibby! Still working on more improvements, features and optimisations. If you or anyone else has any suggestions do let us know.
Also, I plan to make a video about the website, its growth, how much it makes each month and more soon if people would find that interesting!

We've just changed hosting and upgraded resources and now there should be no more "database error" messages and the site should load quite a lot faster now

Yes, I was not a fan of the "Featured Deals" . I thought it cluttered things and it made me feel like you were trying to sell me something. It almost seemed like a Dev could pay you to be featured. I know that is not the case, but...
Oh! I see it's still there. Can you make the "Featured Deals" an option I can turn off?
Yea makes sense. The reason we added those was because it seemed like people wanted to be directed to somewhere on the website. It is a search engine, but sometimes people want to just see the best stuff in one place too without having to figure out what that is. And when we look at the heatmap of the website its really clear that people scroll through them to see what curated list we're highlighting for users (its the most clicked section!)
Our new layout aims to resolve this by giving loads of different sections on the homepage, then a dedicated page for latest deals, a dedicated page for new lowest price etc. so if you just want to see the latest deals, you go to a particular page and they're all there with better filtering / sorting etc.

@Music Software Deals guy, the updated version looks great. I WAS going to ask to get rid of the "suggested deals" but you already took care of that. Nice and streamlined - again! (by default) Nice upgrades just in time for Black Friday season. 😎
Thanks! In terms of the "suggested deals" do you mean the ones highlighted in red that are called "Featured"? If so, these automatically disappear when you search, its just to pick out some deals we think are good

Haven't updated this thread in a while so just wanted to let you guys know some of the latest updates we've made:
- Added sidebar with extra navigation options like Top 20 synths, Top 100 Products etc.
- Added a newsletter (signup in the sidebar) where we send just 1 email per week with a curated list of the "best" audio plugin deals. This means we're not sending a list of hundreds of them, but just what we feel are the best ones that deserve your time.
- Improved the database so page loads faster. There were quite a few database errors lately as traffic and data grows so we made a lot of improvements here and are in the process of moving hosting which should speed it up by around 3X
- Added tags to product pages so you can see what category a product is in, click on that category and see more.
- Made it default to not show products that are preset / expansion packs, upgrades, crossgrades, education versions etc. as they clutter up the search results. However, you can show them in the "More Options" under the search results
- Added the filter for showing the product types mentioned above (presets / upgrades etc.) to every manufacturer page to again not clutter up results.
- We added more sorting options to the front page along with the table format
Right now we're currently looking at improving the homepage because we're finding most people who visit the website aren't too interested in seeing the latest deals (or at least not in that current format) so we're looking to optimise the layout of the front page to show more information on everything going on.
Also, tagging is still in progress as its hard to manually tag over 17k products, but we're getting there!
Would love to hear your feedback if you have any-

Cloud based software signing is around $500 for 3 years (literally just bought it recently myself) and let's you sign without the use of a hardware key. It's simple to setup and get approved for

Liikkuva is nice. Decent price too, if you remember to use vst10off code (gives 10% off) as I think the intro price for the library was 49 bucks.
Agreed!

Apparently it was 89 euros back in 2019: https://vstbuzz.com/deals/67-off-vikings-bundle-by-keep-forest/ which is kinda surprising it came out only few years earlier?
Thus, seems like APD's 89 usd is on par with the lowest price it has ever been (without additional discounts.)
Ah back before we started scraping prices

Previous lowest price was $149

We had some feedback regarding the user price alerts page so made some improvements based on the suggestions. In particular:
1. It shows if the product is on sale or not at a glance (fire/ice emoji)
2. If the product is on sale, it will show you the sale price
Just a few small changes that improve the user experience so you need to click less!

Here's the lowest priced products that are currently on sale on ADSR if you want something close to $10
