Does not work together with already discounted items, such as Albion stuff. Damn.

"Maybe we should test our stuff before pushing it to users". Nah. Why bother.

17.52 € before tax (I think it's $18.64) Lowest price has been around 12 bucks on Black Friday-ish. https://www.lootaudio.com/category/kontakt-instruments/marcos-ciscar-sampled-instruments/studio-percussion

Thanks for all the answers. Just interesting to pick some brain nuggets and see how other people do choices.

Without talking about this particular collection (which I find might be reasonably priced on sale), these sound banks always make me wonder about the "value". While I do realize that it takes a lot of time and effort to make good presets that people find worth paying for (and baking in the price of a licence to use said sounds), at msrp of 105 bucks, you could still get a new decent/great virtual synth or instrument at that price. Just wondering how do you calculate how much a new bank is worth?

The iLok transfer fee makes selling/buying certain things an absolute no-go.

Safer than going to Sodoma.

So I've got Tundra and Solstice. Been thinking about Neo or Colossus. Any hot takes on those two when working with the first two I mentioned?

Anything less than a W is weak sauce. That's why there's still Wasabröd and not 'Vasabröd'. What's next? The Wasa ship sank that the modern people could rename it Vasa? What a waste. Fy fan!

Here's a direct link to the promo without all the web tracking stuff: https://www.waves.com/account/free-kramer-hls-channel-bedroomproducersblog Not up yet though.

VST10OFF gives another 10% discount https://vstbuzz.com/deals/60-off-adc1-compressor-limiter-by-kiive-audio/

The $20 best of voucher (BEST-20-OFF) from yesterday works which brings the price down to $29 https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/ampknob-bdh-bundle.html

Requires the full retail version of Kontakt 6.4.2 and above. I think the lowest I've seen this is 14 bucks. https://audioplugin.deals/product/viola-drama-textures-by-inlet-audio/

I think it was $29.99 some weeks ago. Or ~$17.5 (or something) if you bundled it up with four other plugins.

If one could combine vouchers, now'd be the time to use those NI ones. Still have all five of mine. But nope. Removed that feature making them useless. Just like this uh, sale.

Yeah. This is essentially not a deal since most of those plugins have been available for $29.99 or below. Now, even with the voucher, most plugins are more expensive than that. Basically, whole thing makes no sense whatsoever.

https://audija.com/plugins Until May 1st I think.

Doesn't work.

Like I said. Neither do I.

Cool. But yeah. I'll skip posting their deals from now on just to be safe.

My understanding was that you needed to ask for crossgrades via customer support. Just so that I wasn't and am not tripping on Ikea's meatballs, I checked via friend who has never bought or used 8dio/SP stuff but is signed up for their newsletter. He too, like me, got an email from 8dio four days ago for a 50% off deal for Soundpaint version of Century Solo Flugel Horn. Voucher and all. He also received similar emails for Rhytmic Auras 1, Adastra Chamber/Solo Strings and apparently some others. So check your spam folder I guess if you're not receiving any emails?

Well, I do avoid sharing actually questionable/clearly personal deals. Since the sale was from 4 months ago, the email has been purged long time ago. Thus, since I can't verify, I'll remove it. (Yet. I still didn't own anything on 8dio related to the particular sale and still got the email for the Soundpaint deal.) If they send a deal to everyone on their mailing list, no matter on past purchases, I do feel like it's not exactly a secret. And Soundpaint comes up with a new 50% off deal every week (or feels like it).

I don't think they were crossgrade coupons since I never owned either of those items when I got an email about them being on sale. Edit: Just edited the codes out just in case. But Soundpaint has sent emails about various products which have utilized discount codes for them (even when those items were not owned on 8dio), so they definitely do do sales. There's even a new one from last week. I don't think I've ever paid a full price for Soundpaint instruments and haven't bought duplicates w/ Kontakt. On that note, there's even a code out there in the wild that makes the Fire Bundle cheaper than these codes ever did.
