I think it is enough red flags.

Thanks for the research. Definitely looks shady.

That mycode24.com is very suspicious website.

How so? They are listed on Microsoft's site as a Microsoft partner:

Out of curiosity, what in particular is he/she spamming about?  

Trying to get people to dial some sort of support phone number for numerous products including Mozilla and AVG. It was the same phone number for all products. The actual text did not make a whole lot of sense to me.

Tested the demo, ran like hot trash in Cubase Pro 12.

What demo?

I feel like they stole $1.50 from me, because SongKey MK4 is useless!

You know you can get your money back...so not stealing!

Demo

We decided to not provide a demo for SongKey MK4 because we don’t want to to cripple our product too much and limiting the capability of this plugin for a demo would mean to provide a bad testing experience.

For this reason we offer an instantaneous full refund within 15 days of your purchase if you buy SongKey MK4 and you don’t like it.

Demucs works great and is free.

Is possible because other guys said me the same, but I don't know if it was some long time before, because I didn't find it free until now

I got it for free in 2019. In case you are interested, here are the rest of the free 8Dio instruments:

Buying software is a waste of money. I have a legacy system that has a ton of abandonware worth $1000s of dollars so that projects from 10+ years ago can still be opened if needed. And most of that **** doesn't open. Most of the software can't even be authorized. It's almost entirely pointless to keep the system running. It's like a $10,000 brick of garbage. So much for "owning" software.

Counterpoint...there is no guarentee that subscription service software will not become abandonware either. I don't know if it is less likely, or not. I also can't help that feel that you would still need to keep the legacy system running because the current versions of the plugins/software no longer work with the old projects.

But as you pointed out, subs do make sense from a business perspective.

I think the MGuitarArchitect release was a bit premature. The potential is there but this initial offering is a bit disappointing. However, being Melda, I am sure it will mature into a powerhouse guitar effect.

That first video is from 14 years ago. I wonder if there have been any improvements or development on RG since then. Or was it perfect when it was released? Still trying to decide if it adds anything to what I already have. I am not taken by the sound of RG but if the sequencer is unique, it might be useful to feed it through of the number of guitar effects I own.

I am not seeing 50% off everything.

This looks like it’s from Sampletekk. 

It is. The videos on the page confirm it.

I definitely didn't find this virtual Mandolin makes the cut -- or even comes close. 

Mandolin? I thought this was a Ukulele. Maybe that is why you were disappointed.

Unavailable to order now.

plus 40% off future plugins without having to wait for a sale

Waiting for a sale is one thing it looks like you never need to do with Hornet, they happen so often. Don't get me wrong. I like hornet plugins and own a number of them. I just don't find the bundle all that attractive even at 40%+40% off, especially when I can pick and choose individual plugins at 80-90% off.

Not much of a deal, actually. That only computes to 64% off. Unless I am missing something, you can do better buying individual plugins at 80-90% off.

Thanks, will never use it.

Good to know. I was worried.

So has anyone tried this yet? I am wondering how it compares to something like the Ethera series.

Thanks Niky, you're absolutely right 

I thought it would be, but on Best Service they only  stated Hybrid Clipper/Limiter - Big Clipper 2 and no mention of the bundle. So to avoid anyone buying it and not getting the bundle and then feeling disappointed, I wanted to make sure first.

When I checked Boz it all looked that way though and I just redeemed it and it is the bundle.

Installed!

Had Little Clipper. This upgraded my Little Clipper to version 2 and added Big Clipper. Score! Thanks!

This developer does sales almost as much as Waves. It's literally like a bi-weekly thing. Wasn't there a summer sale and now there's an end of summer sale, but I've probably forgotten about a mid-summer sale. 

This is what I got from Hornet in the last few day:

Pretty much an email a day. They do make decent plugins though and update regularly. Some people really like them.

Does that mean Hornet is going to give me 5% of the cost ... its like 105% off, right?  They are giving it away free, including 5% of the cost!

 

Umm. No. Single plugins are 75% off. Bundles are 30% off. The discounts don't combine because they are for different things.

Right...bought Hatz. Looks pretty cool. Couple of problems so far though.

The pitch down buttons seem to be pitching up and the pitch up buttons seem to pitching down.
I'm using Hatz in Reason 12. I I right click and reset the device all output disappears. That is to say the samples don't trigger.

I've written to support so we'll see what they say. Will report back.
 

I wouldn't hold my breath. Thenatan has a history of releasing and then abandoning plugins.

Bapu?!

I took a look at their stuff some time ago and was underwhelmed. 

This is one developer I avoid like the plague. Their offerings are the very definition of bloatware.

@kitekrazyThis one is for you. 300 GB of content!!!

Did the same, but only saw a Labor Day coupon for $50 off …

I have three coupons, one for Labor day, one for $49 Moog Minimoog, and one for $99 UAD Creative Edition. Guess I am special. And like you all, I just have the Polymax freebie.
