I got this from splice and when I logged in to my ableton account to register it, there was a notice

"Good news, a license for the latest version of Live Lite has been added to your account"

For other people like me, getting this in order to get a free upgrade from a previous version (e.g., one that came bundled with hardware) - Check your account first, you may not need to get anything from splice

Any other recommendations? 

The Shofuku expansions if you don't already have them. Nori Ubukata is a real master!

Saverio's latest plugin, HoRNet MasterTool is available for 11,49€ until September 25th at 21:00 (Italy time).

Use the learn button to analyze your track, then dial the desired amount of EQ and Dynamics

Just go to https://www.hornetplugins.com to get the special prices!

I've read in this forum a few good words about captain plugins. Any opinions on the rest of the software?

E.g., the coupon also works for the producer collection, which includes a song key detection plugin and Odesi, but then Odesi sounds like it doesn't really add functionality on top of captain plugins, that it's essentially the same in a non-plugin format.

I like how they say for the "non-bundle" version of Spire

INCLUDE 900+ FACTORY SOUNDS ONLY

😂

Standalone "toy" synth/loop sequencer. Primarily useful for getting the kids into music production, but the results can be exported to wav so it might have additional uses (please do read the comments on steam to get a better idea of what this can actually do and what are its limitations)

Various bundle tiers from $4 to $12

I had no plans to buy these but it looked like too good a deal to miss

ssl 400G + bx XL + BX-XL-2999 + SSL-4000G-4999 + monthly -$50 = $29

you could get Kaleidoscopes and, say, SSL-E

Well... you could also get a couple of copies of Kaleidoscope, to have some extra to give to friends 🤠

a good time to upgrade?

E.g., https://www.scan.co.uk/products/native-instruments-komplete-12-ultimate-music-production-software-collection-upg-k8-12

even though it is ~$130 more expensive than a K12 -> K13 update it is probably a better deal

Aren't the "free"plugins provided by Waves directly? (depending on registering new plugins but not on depending where you got the reg codes). In the past that's how I remember it worked. You may want to check the details at the Waves website.

at least $1,399 spent

but... at an average 70% off retail price that means a savings of at least $3,264

Thy choicest gifts in store,

Oh him be pleased to pour,

Long may he reign.

May he defend our deals

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice

God save the king.

Note that this discount replaces the bundle discounts (the final price is 50% off the unbundled price, not 50% off the bundle price)

>A medium-sized ensemble of harps struck with a hammer. Sampled in insane detail in a stunning concert hall, with 8 in-house custom presets

What? Only insane? not "painstaking detail"?

I was trying to find what limitations are there for the free/demo versions of the various synths at discodsp but it wasn't very clear. It looks like it could be a commercial vs non-commercial use limitation but GPLv2 doesn't really allow limiting the use, only the distribution

Uni-Vibe is my favorite modulation effect and options are pretty much nothing in the plugin format

Wrt modulation effects, don't miss Arturia's bi-tron (the hardware mu-tron biphase was itself an evolution of the uni-vibe)

Threat of Data Loss

Sounds like a nasty joke about the current gap in our purchase histories at JRR...

(which btw, Eric Dahlberg has mentioned it is expected to be fixed in September)

And, update plan coverage for this plugin expires 6 months later than the previous... 😜

Regular crossgrade price $279.99, now $140.

Available at some dealers as well (e.g., Sweetwater https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Dorico35PCg--steinberg-dorico-pro-3.5-crossgrade-download). Not discounted (yet?) at JRRShop

Email just says "for a limited time" without a specific date but Sweetwater indicates "Effective now through September 16th, 2020."

Since you're asking... Yes

I bought it and I like it. I also bought the "exit aisle deal", Etherealwinds Harp II for base price, which I also like.

When I am trying to figure out if a store is legit or it is selling shady versions I check if they are a dealer for the brands they distribute. E.g., see pluginfox in this list

https://www.plugivery.com/about/dealers/

The English edition is out. Now I can read what's actually interesting instead of basing my "interests" on the questions being asked

Another download that is new for this month is that the "Beat Studio" includes DDMF The Strip

how old hardware is coveted but old plugins are not

Actually, I think they are but in a different way. I have some 32-bit vst2's that I keep struggling with ways to make them work in newer hosts (tubeohm vintage, xhun ironaxe, to name a couple).

PSP N2O Semi-modular multi-effect plug-in.

Personally I find this plugin quite interesting for creative manipulation of samples.

In case anyone is interested, and missed IK's June offer for newsletter subscribers, and is not already planning on getting it in the VI group buy...

There are a few other goodies as well, and interesting articles about Roland, Elektron & Focal products

For those intending to crossgrade: do it early and don't wait until the end of the sale, because the process takes a few days.

I did a crossgrade to HALion 6 during a past sale, on the last day of the sale. I received the approval after the sale was over and the shop was back to the original price. After a few emails back and forth the solution was to purchase the approved crossgrade at full price, email the receipt to the support person and wait for a partial refund. They did honor the deal, but temporarily paying full price wasn't that comfortable.

BTW: Any rumors of a HALion 7? given Steinberg's upgrade policies it may be worth it to wait before activating
