No, if you get an upgrade it is registered at the time of purchase and you are entitled to free updates for 1 year from the time of purchase (you get 1 year of WUP included with your purchase) If you want to "hold" your license and not start the clock on the included 1y WUP you need to purchase the full product from a retailer and not use the registration code until the time when you actually want to use the plugin. The other advantage of holding the registration code is that you can resell it without transfer fees. The risks are that you may lose the registration code (e.g., if you lose your email and didn't have a backup) and that it's harder to keep track of what you have and you may end up accidentally buying something twice (I confess to this happening to me) For updates, it's registration time what counts, activation time does not matter

You were lucky. I do keep a USB 3.5" floppy drive around, e.g. in case I need to dig out ancient midi files from Dynaware Ballade, but they didn't ask me the fun questions, only boring ones about subscription models and brand awareness.

I had the same thought but the math does check out. These are some of the "expensive aax plugins" and they are $499 before discount (note: from what I have observed they go on sale occasionally but not too often).

Just to be clear, there was no "reset" for the code, I just checked and it says that it has already been used

$99 from Avid (80% off) https://www.avid.com/plugins/aphex-aural-exciter-and-big-bottom-pro-bundle AAX only (no VST) This emulates the more modern exciters (unlike the one from Waves which emulates the vintage model)

I used the coupon code two weeks ago and I got the survey today (I filled it out anyway, and the code at the end was the same that Fleer posted)

This weekend - House: Pure 2Step $8.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $4.99 for the non-commercial) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/pure-2step-5922/?license=commercial_unlimited This Soundpool is already included in '2Step Vol. 2' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 2004'.

It's not software but it may be helpful, to know how loud our activity sounds to other people Newegg "shell shocker", today only $11.99 Decibel Meter, Meterk Digital Sound Level Meter, Range 30-130dB(A) Noise Volume Measuring Instrument Self-Calibrated Decibel Monitoring Tester https://www.newegg.com/meterk-791377385547-test-connectors/p/2A7-00UT-00002?Item=9SIARUCD3F3270&cm_sp=Dailydeal_SS-_-9SIARUCD3F3270-_-11072021 Maybe someone with good electronics skills can figure out how to hack this to make it useful for ARC calibration?

Is it a general sale from Shure? Amazon has the same price https://smile.amazon.com/deal/4998f143?showVariations=true (note: I'm mentioning it for reference, given the choice between Amazon and Sweetwater I'd choose Sweetwater without a doubt, their sales engineers can really make a difference, both before and after the purchase)

The master plan: Make as much as I can from stock investing so that I can get every plugin and library on sale Jokes aside - My plan is 1) review this forum and Reid's list and get all the "no brainers" I don't already have. 2) get Avid support plan renewals if they go on sale 3) head over to producerplanet.com and see if there are nice deals for the vouchers I still have, 4) get the Cherry Audio Year Three collection if it is released and on sale 5) keep an eye out for sales of chickensys translator 6) keep checking the KVR trade forum during December and January to see if there are any good "buyers remorse" deals

I don't understand why this product is available for purchase on any day other than April 1st or Holy Innocents Day "Soundiron gathered together four of the finest kazoo virtuosos in the world" Their virtuosity is of such level that you better use melodyne before combining with other instruments

Not exactly jam but back in 1979 by accident my "shiny off-the-press" LP of Regatta de Blanc ended up full of sugar I thought it was ruined but my father put it under the faucet and cleaned the sugar with running water then told me to let it dry. It felt a very unorthodox way for handling an LP and initially I was skeptical but he was right, it played without no issues afterwards.

The interesting question is: if you sell and transfer something that you purchased individually in the past and is now an unselectable option, will the selection get unlocked or stay locked?

That would be cool! Coming next - bx_pyramid, a saturation plugin that emulates the sweet sound of pyramid recording. An amazingly warm sound painstakingly recreated by brainworx engineers that went on location to the measure the unique qualities of this gear. The selector knob will let you choose between Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure response curves. Get that 2594 b.c. vibe in your music!

And, as a reminder, dear VR Music (which is not on sale at DearVR) is on sale at PluginAlliance ($29.99 with code HLLWN2999) https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/dearvr_music.html

18 frequency bands.

Another one that seems to be recently out of the exception list is Neold Big Al

Captain Plugins $39.50 at ADSR Sounds Sale ends November 5th https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/captain-plugins/ And get the ADSR extras (Hustle 2 is the freebie of the month, 8 loyalty points)

If you don't yet have any IK products, you probably want to go to the KVR buy and sell forum and get there for cheap any product originally over $100 - that will qualify you for crossgrade prices From memory, I think Sampletron II is not in the list in Custom Shop, but if you get an Amplitube 5 crossgrade, that will qualify for getting Sampletron II

I've been trying to find out how Monolyth compares to iZotope Neutron (+Ozone possibly, to add lufs targeting capability) in terms of "automating the mix process" . Looking at the controls, Monolyth seems to provide more tweakability although, for an approach of "let the automation handle 90% of the mixing process and then add other plugins to refine the remaining 10%" it may not matter that much. I haven't been able to find comparisons, and it doesn't look like Ayaic is providing demo licenses, so I cannot do a comparison myself. Is there someone here who has both Monolyth and Neutron/Ozone and has compared the results?

For a little more than twice the price, $4.80 more will get you the full autogain pro https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-autogain-pro/

This month, Final Mix is giving away their Synth Bus Lite plugin.

Nice report I couldn't help laughing when I understood that "get for free - download trial and let it expire" meant that the expiration function for the trial version doesn't work (buggy code?)
