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")

It's not only 0.5 to full. I've held Cubase update codes without registering them for more than a cycle. The way I've observed it works is: The version you're upgrading from is fixed to a specific version number (or range of versions, depending on what you buy). E.g., if you buy an upgrade for 10.5 -> 11 you cannot use it for 7.5 -> 11 Your eLicenser will get a license for the latest available version at the time of registration. This applies to full licenses as well, not just updates/upgrades Examples: I bought an update code for Cubase 7.5 -> 10 in May 2019 and registered it at the end of last year, I got a license for Cubase 11 I bought an old boxed version of Dorico 1.0 in August last year that was on clearance (from an amazon.com marketplace seller). When I registered it I got a license for Dorico 3.5 This is how it worked in the past but as far as I know it is not in any "contract" or entitlement. It is a very generous policy so it shouldn't be too surprising if Steinberg decides to change it at some point in the future, YMMV

The sound of soccer https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/the-sound-of-soccer-song-fx-collection-21760/?license=commercial_unlimited $99.5 for commercial unlimited use, $4.99 for non-commercial Quite "niche" but possibly a reasonable deal for 30 royalty-free national anthems

This weekend - Downbeat: Smokey Light $4.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $2.99 for the non-commercial) https://www.producerplanet.com/us/article/smokey-light-1901/?license=commercial_unlimited Note: This Soundpool is already included in folder Downbeat Vol. 2' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 19'. This week it's also a relatively small soundpool (38 loops with variations and 6 in universal pitch, total 279), 433MB for the uncompressed wav version

Maybe it's a good time for getting Lemon and trying something like this https://www.acustica-audio.com/store/products/lemon
