Avid expects the acquisition to be accretive to its revenue, earnings, and cash flow in 2024 and beyond.

By combining our strengths and expertise, we will be able to offer our customers a more comprehensive and integrated audio workflow, from creation to delivery.”
“Joining Avid is a natural and exciting step for us,” said Bill Putnam Jr., CEO and Co-founder of Universal Audio. “Avid is a leader in the media and entertainment space, and we have a great respect for their products and their team. We believe that together, we can create more value and opportunities for our customers, partners, and employees, and deliver more amazing sound to the world.”
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Avid will provide more details on the financial and strategic benefits of the acquisition on its next earnings call.

Looks to me like they've got wires crossed once again at UA. They're THE most disorganized bunch I've ever seen.
If you don't own the correct bundle and you bought this, don't be surprised when UA pulls those licenses from you in the near future. They have no qualms about taking stuff back.
No worries. This trilogy ain’t over yet.

Seems like it was a pricing error? It’s not showing up with the original link and if you search for it, it shows up as $299
Nope, officially confirmed by UAD.
$150 it is.

Or maybe they just didn't like it...
BTW I too find UADs actions disconcerting.I just asked Drew, their man on the forums. He says he’s got nothing to do with me being ousted from that thread, and I believe him. To my Apple reference he replied: LOL!

I’m finding these no-glitch UAD glitches a bit too weird.
Are they cashing in?
Are they being bought?
Have they been bought?
Will all plugins be free with (free) Luna?
Will all plugins be free with Logic next?
Wow, after posting this in the Gearslutz UAD thread, I got this:
“You have been removed from this discussion.”.
So maybe my thoughts were on the dollar?- 1

The official UAD spokesperson is even posting the AudioDeluxe offer and suggesting people to buy there.
