Yes, but you don't get to use your plugin between now and when that offer happens 5 or 6 months from now

Not strictly a music deal but potentially pretty useful for your next purchase of plugins, etc. Paypal is offering a $25 voucher for trying out their crypto purchasing (note: for me it showed up as the banner add after login but I'm not sure if it is country specific or there is some other eligibility requirement). Here is how it works (1) Log in at paypal.com and activate the offer (2) Buy $25 bitcoin (or some of the other cryptocurrencies offered) at paypal.com (3) use paypal to buy plugins (or something else), get $25 off automatically (it doesn't have to be a single purchase, it can be spread over multiple purchases until you've exhausted the $25, and note that it cannot be used for "family and friends" or "goods and services" transfers, e.g., it will not be useful for typical purchases in the KVR buy&sell forum) (4) sell the crypto at paypal After fees you should recover $24+ (assuming you sell soon after the purchase and don't try to keep it and speculate on the price of bitcoin) Activate by 9/25/2021, buy crypto by 9/30/2021 and redeem by 10/31/2021 Note that depending on your country, crypto transactions may be taxable and you may need to provide your tax info to Paypal before selling. E.g., if you're in the US you will need to provide Social Security Number and capital gains/losses should be accounted for at tax time (although, for losses of a few pennies due to fees it's probably not worth the hassle of reporting them) Note also that right now all you can do with crypto at paypal is buy it and sell it. You cannot transfer it or use it to pay someone. EDIT: For clarification (given the many comments below about crypto investing). What I'm suggesting is to buy, use the voucher and sell right away, for a quick $25 voucher grab. The above steps are ABSOLUTELY NOT a recommendation to invest in crypto. In fact, if you follow the steps indicated you are likely to "lose in your crypto investment": Crypto prices don't normally have significant changes in the few minutes it should take to use the voucher, and selling price should be very close to buying prices, but there will be a small loss from the fees (either direct transaction fees or indirectly in the form of of a bid/ask price spread). The good thing is that you "gain" a $25 voucher in exchange for a loss that should be less than $1. The deal here is that Paypal wants you to know that its possible to invest in crypto through them and they're willing to give you a $25 voucher to give it a try (which can be something quick and with very low risk, per the steps above)

With the $25 and $50 (2021-07-50225G4YRL39) loyalty vouchers being non-personalized It's possible to get a little "creative" (the "typical tuner trick" just mentioned, etc). E.g. Brainworx bx_2098 EQ $99.99 + Tone Empire OptoRED + Brainworx bx_tuner$19 -> Total$38.98 Brainworx bx_2098 EQ + Louder Than Liftoff Chop Shop -> Total $59.19 If you have other PA plugins you probably want to go over the available crossgrades & upgrades and try the sub-100 ones. E.g. what I ended up getting for myself is Brainworx bx_2098 EQ + Schoeps Mono Upmix -> Total$28.99

This weekend - Hip Hop: Make some Cash part 2 $4.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $2.99 for the non-commercial) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/make-some-cash-part-2-1957/?license=commercial_unlimited Note: This Soundpool is already included in folder 'HipHop Vol. 15' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 20'.

This is almost as difficult to get as an amazon black friday doorbuster... Coupon usage limit has been reached. Will they be resetting it one more time? 😞

Farewell as in "goodbye to the physical equipment that we used to model these plugins". Bx is still in business (although not in very good shape at the moment) Full Story https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/blog/blogpost/items/bx-under-water.html?vgo_ee=rMVGiERMGhhmPHxOgaNbfbDTS3YSZcqtiZXl2Jncxx61xH9OULhwDXsOY1iAafOK From the email: BX has decided to run some short-term sales to help minimize the financial damage, and to help get the team back to work in a professional surrounding as soon as humanly possible. Plugin Alliance will forward 100% of the proceeds of the "Support BX Sales" to Brainworx in Germany. You can support BX by buying some BX plugins, or some of their cool merchandise. We will start this series of "Support BX Sales" tomorrow with... guess what? Brainworx bx_console N for only $29.99 (24 hours only) Farewell sale for the console that started the TMT story... You need to use the voucher code BX-N-2999 to bring the price down to $29.99 If you add something else to the cart you can also use loyalty vouchers (this month codes are not personalized for $25 and $50) $25 off $35+: 2021-07-252222RZPF7T $50 off $75+: 2021-07-50225G4YRL39

In case you're still missing something UJAM after the recent sales... https://www.minet.jp/contents/promotion/ujam-1week-sale-202107/ Ujam & Izotope Bundle: UJAM SOLID 2 (Drummer)+UJAM ROYAL 2 (Bassist)+UJAM AMBER (Guitarist)+iZotope Neutron 3 Elements (Mix)+iZotope Ozone 9 Elements (Mastering)+iZotope RX 8 Elements (Noise reduction)+iZotope Nectar 3 Elements (Vocal processing)+Exponential Audio Phoenixverb (reverb) - $90 (approx) Headbanger Bundle: Heavy (Drummer)+Iron(Guitarist)+Rowdy(Bassist) - $79 (approx) Virtual Guitarist (various to choose from) - $68 each (approx) Most other UJAM products (incl. upgrades) 25% off full price https://store.minet.jp/item_list.html?request=max_row&SEARCH_MAX_ROW_LIST=100&_=1627571927762&item_list_mode=0&sort_order=4#REFINE_BRAND=RF_UJAM&pointercat=REFINE_BRAND The site is in Japanese, but bing and google translators are your friends (or, if interested in Japanese language classes I know a good online tutor, pm me 😉)

Please stop scaring people about WUP and possibly missing on deals TLDR for those who don't already know the details about WUP: Get the freebie and ignore all the talk about WUP. You'll get the plugin and a year of free updates, after a year there are no more free updates, but the version you have will continue to work the same as it worked before.

https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/rob-papen-rg-rhythm-guitar $39.00 (minus $3.90 DeluxeBucks) or https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/457 $39.00 (minus £1.42 PB Virtual cash + 0.5 tokens). This is approx $2.54 cash rewards but, if you don't yet have iZotope PhoenixVerb you can get it as the freebie of the month. (Sorry @Time+Space, we usually post in the thread when we find a cheaper deal than the original post. On the other hand, if you can improve on the current $1.87 in T+S Loyalty points, or you can add an interesting freebie of the month, we'll be happy to hear about it!)

When I built my newest workstation I added a 2TB NVME disk ($210) dedicated to music content (kontakt, uvi, halion, soundpools, etc) and load time has never been an issue afterwards. I understand it's not an option for everyone but if your motherboard supports nvme (or you have a pcie slot available for a nvme adapter) it does make life easier

I've always thought that "The Very Big One" is a great product name for a piano VI

https://www.humblebundle.com/software/music-sound-effects-for-games-files-content Pay at least $25 for these 30 packs 16 Fx 9 Music 4 voice 1 music & fx Licensing terms: https://www.gamedevmarket.net/terms-conditions#marketplace-terms (for the most part it is a typical royalty-free license, but read the details if you're planning on commercial use)

https://www.producerplanet.com/us/list/summer-sale-2071/?sort=price_desc This sale includes a few ACID libraries at 50% off, and soundpools that were already at 50% off Note that prices shown at producerplanet are a little confusing in that the price shown in the sale page is the commercial license for ACID libraries and non-commercial for soundpools (for each soundpool, commercial usage prices are typically 2x that of non-commercial) Something to note also is that, for libraries where it says "The Soundpool contains all loops from '<genre>' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection <version>" it may be more cost effective buying the corresponding DVD, if you can find it. E.g, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009O6IYO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Soundpool 10 is the same as DVD Collection 2005 https://www.producerplanet.com/us/search/?query='Soundpool DVD Collection 2005'&area=audio&category=250. DVD collections up to 16 allow commercial royalty-free use (with potential logo requirements, essentially "either use a Magix pro product like Samplitude or give Magix some free publicity"), but more recent collections are non-commercial (I wish they didn't have this confusing and poorly-documented mix of commercial and non-commercial licenses!)

Now, if we start picking a few of these, plus emails we receive, and we "repost" the deals in this forum, we may revitalize this a little bit while we wait for the King

This weekend - Garage House $8.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $4.99 for the non-commercial) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/garage-house-10243/?license=commercial_unlimited Note: This Soundpool is already included in folder 'UK Garage Vol. 1' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 2004'.

For me, I just have a main play machine. This play machine runs all the games I'm getting from Steam, Epic, Uplay, Battle.net, GOG, JRRShop, Audioplugindeals, VSTBuzz, Audiodeluxe, Pluginboutique, Everyplugin, ADSRSounds, etc. Jokes aside, maybe I've been lucky but I haven't seen any conflicts between the game distribution platforms and the Audio Software. If I am doing something that is really CPU intensive I may exit whatever background service I'm not using at the time, but most of the time I just let everything run. Of course, if my income depended on the DAW I wouldn't put any games (not even GOG).

For adventure/puzzle games, Obduction is the freebie of the week at epic https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/free-games , together with Offworld Trading Co

JRRShop is also participating in the sale, and with code GROUP it's $16.79 each 🙂

https://www.producerplanet.com/us/audio/loops-samples-250/?sort=priority&salesOnly=true&label[]=magix 650+ soundpools and Sound Fx at half price. If you have some unused vouchers from the Humblebundle promo, this is the sale you were waiting for! (the vouchers expire at the end of this month)

Actually, A+ programmers are probably more expensive (and difficult to find) than C++ programmers. Anyway, I feel most comfortable in K

Let's do some mashup innovation with the ideas that have been thrown in the thread It's a new amp simulator (a new version of Amplitube, since we're talking IK) with a new footswitch multi-pedal hardware controller that runs with (Apple?) mobile hardware inside of it, so that the only cables needed are those for connecting to guitar and speakers, (no computers around the stage, and the footswitch case is designed to protect your device from stomps and kicks) Where's a patent attorney when you need one?

Ujam has started a 50% off summer sale. You can find these deals at https://www.ujam.com/summer-madness/ or the usual online stores. It looks like coupons are not applicable for this sale and our best bet is to purchase somewhere that has some form of "purchase reward" like Kilohearts Bitcrush at adsrsounds, Izotope Phoenixverb, Virtual Cash and Rewards+ at pluginboutique, deluxe bucks at audiodeluxe or best coin at bestservice (e.g, for Beatmaker Void it's VC £1.27+0.5 tokens, DB $3.45 or €1.03 respectively) https://www.audiodeluxe.com/brand/ujam?f[0]=bm_field_on_sale_now%3Atrue https://www.pluginboutique.com/deals/show?sale_id=7342 https://www.adsrsounds.com/software-developer/ujam/ https://www.bestservice.com/ujam_instruments.html Note also that, similar to past ujam sales, there are also "exclusives". Deeper discounts for specific products, that are different depending on which store you go to Beatmaker Eden $19 https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/ujam-eden-2 Beatmaker Hype $19 https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/64-Virtual-Instrument/6700-HYPE (and, if you find more of these exclusives, please post a link!)

Any details on the extra plugins? are they worth the purchase? Can they be installed separately? (a separate installer would be useful if we already have pro tools)

@Leok85 Yes, that's how it should work (as long as the current policy for upgrades stays the same - they've maintained it for years but, as financial advisors say, "past performance does not guarantee future results")
