Now that all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have been revealed and hopefully most of us have had a chance to add more plugins and tools to our arsenals, it's time to enjoy looking at what we got. What were the deals that you decided were worth your hard-earned money? Were there some that you wanted but resisted? (voluntary restraint, out of budget, fear of significant other's reaction, etc). Anything else that you'd like to share about this deals season

In the end I did buy the string machines, vocoders, kaox and polykb. That extra 20% off (after getting 5+ plugins) gave the edge to dontcrack. This BF they got most of my business (the exceptions were brands that they didn't have in their store)

Ouch, it was good while it worked 😞 but thank you for the info.

Tempting option: buy this now and hold off registering it until the next GB

@Tomgu The referral discount didn't work for me. You probably want to remove it, I believe it's against forum rules in the body of a post (I believe referral links are allowed only in signatures and when giving people a choice by posting the non-referral in the main posting) If it had worked and stacked, regular sale price minus 19% would have been an excellent deal Btw, @Jan Schmitz regular sale price minus 10% is not that bad... (yes, you could do better than 10% with e.g., a custom bundle at dontcrack, but that is if you buy many)

Are the fabfilter loyalty discounts applied on a "have nothing"/"have something" basis or do they get better as you purchase the more expensive plugins? In other words, is it worth it getting a cheaper plugin (e.g., micro) to become eligible for loyalty discounts?

Installed.

The monthly vouchers expire November 23, waiting is not that good of an idea...

I already have 137 plugins in my PA account 😳 and got the code for $299. The Forever 29 coupon didn't work (expected, but why not give it a try?...) The $75 voucher did work, so it is everything for $224 This is the only non-subscription option that includes the mega-sampler 🤔 Something to note is that the promotion is different from the "old everything bundle" in that it includes everything as of right now. There is no ambiguity on what exactly you're getting.

I read the rtf, answered the questions online and didn't get anything. I then noticed that the rtf had been updated asking that the questions be answered by email, so I sent an email as well and that worked ok. The sender for the email with the license key was Andy Jones <andy.jones@futurenet.com> - you may need to adjust your email filters before sending the answers, and check your spam folders if it's not in your inbox after a reasonable amount of time

Thank you, I haven't looked into upgrade prices in a long time and I didn't remember what they were, and it wasn't entirely clear from clicking on the link. Anyway, for reference, I just checked the ones on sale at audiodeluxe and the base price is the same as JRR, but they do allow the coupon at checkout time, plus the extra bucks and the freebie

Right, for me that is one of the reasons I like Synthmaster, V Collection and AAS synths. After paying the "entry price" (I want the presets to be fully tweakable), they open up a very nice collection of "new synths" for a pretty reasonable price Sometimes, instead of finding a new synth and then preset packs, I do it in reverse - find sound designers I like (e.g., Nori Ubukata) and preset packs that sound great, then get the synth where they run.

Even less at Audiodeluxe, e.g., the upgrade to S1Pro from earlier versions is $126.98 with coupon HOLIDAY22 (and you get an additional $6.34 deluxe bucks and the MTransient frebie) JRR indicates that coupons don't apply to Presonus products, I wonder if this is an error on Audiodeluxe's part and later today they'll cancel the option of using a coupon...

Earmaster Pro 7 is on sale for $29 at dontcrack.com https://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=3864 Up to 20% lower with the "custom bundle" options Buy a second product and get 5% EXTRA DISCOUNT off both products Buy a third product and get 10% EXTRA DISCOUNT off all 3 products Buy a fourth product and get 15% EXTRA DISCOUNT off all 4 products Buy five products or more and get 20% EXTRA DISCOUNT off all of them (http://store.dontcrack.com/dc_shopping.php for details)

You probably want to take a look at Biotek 2 I'd add to the list some AAS synths and at least one of the "vacuum tube virtual analogs", either AIR Vacuum Pro or Knifonium. You mentioned that you already have enough emulations of vintage synths but, if there is a little slack still left, I'd agree with the people that have suggested adding a collection of Xils Labs' synths (there's a pretty good deal right now with the "create your own bundle" options at dontcrack.com. It's at the top of my BF list, getting a few I don't yet have)

If you already own other Kilohearts plugins, you may want to log in and check your upgrade deals first, directly at https://kilohearts.com, e.g., since I already have phaseplant and other plugins this is what shows up for me

@D-Fused Sounds You may want to design the site to make it easier to answer the question "what plugins are on sale?". Right now it is easy to filter by category or by what's on sale but not both at the same time

You can also get the whole deal https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NxStudioCollBx--waves-nx-virtual-studio-collection-and-nx-head-tracker

They are rare but yes, it does go on sale sometimes I got it in Oct 2018 but I vaguely remember having seen it on sale again every now and then. Sweetwater and Musiciansfriend have sales engineers that you can tell them what you're looking for and they'll alert you when there is a sale. Also, since $99 is the regular price, you want to look out for those generic coupons that are "nn% off regular priced items"

Shows up as $5 for me, maybe because of having it already

I can't fit it in this month's budget. I hope this one ends up in the store with a base price close to the current price
