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.

You'd get the plugin(s), but JRR is not running the Waves sale, so the Waves code for 40% off doesn't work. In other words, it would be cheaper to buy from Waves, let alone the resellers who are having the sale.

their website is so messed up.  i added to my cart an it gave me offer to add Largo as well. i added the Largo, then it offered to give me Studio 808 at a heavy discount. I added that as well. Then I removed Largo since I already have it and it removed the Studio 808.

That's funny. Why did you add Largo, since you already had it? Experimental shopping? You could write to them and ask about getting Studio 808 discounted.

$34.70 with code FORUM at JRR
https://www.jrrshop.com/waves-kaleidoscopes-plugin

I was looking at that earlier. The downside is that JRR is not in on the ongoing Waves sale (40% off + plugins), so you can't get Kaleidoscopes + 2 plugins for around $60 on JRR, but you can elsewhere (audiodeluxe, everyplugin).

Not trying to push my mixing...

You should though, great stuff! 

Many of the H9 series plugins that had launch sales are back on sale.

The Spring reverb is $24.35, while Crystals, Rotary, MangledVerb, UltraTap, and ShimmerVerb are $32.74. 

Undulator is still $19 on the mothership. 

Yup, nice video! Completely agree with the 'don't sell your bass part'. As a guitarist, getting a nice bass was one of the best gear-related decisions I've ever made. Not to mention that it saves you A LOT of time when recording, no matter how good bass VIs are. I only use the latter when traveling or when needing something 'different' (e.g. I have/use UJAM's upright bass, it's awesome!).

If you've got your eye on something, leave it in your shopping cart for a couple of days and they'll start nagging you to buy, then eventually send you a discount code anywhere from like 5%-14%, I think is the range I've seen.   

I'm sure that's true, given that I got a "unique promo code" from them as soon as I uninstalled the demo 

For lack of something better to do, I guess, I demo-ed this. With the core pack. Clean/crunch, don't care much about the rest. 

Compared to the better plugins out there, the UI is terrible. Audio Assault level stuff. If people are actually paying what they charge for this, they should take 10% of that and pay a proper UX engineer to do the work. Forget about balance, emphasis, hierarchy, golden ratios. Basic stuff, scale, size, proportions, alignment. 

To my ears, it sounds ok. Not bad, not great, somewhere in that great between. I'm not sure I would replace anything I have/use with this. Plini, S-Gear? God, no. Kuassa, Amplitube Fender(s), PA, Nembrini? Nope. Bias FX? Maybe. Probably.  

I'm sure there's more to it than what I sampled. STL seem to be quite knowledgeable about profiling/IRs, one can tweak the amps/effects/cabs a whole lot more than I did, I didn't try any of the artist packs, and there's definitely people who like them, despite the pretty steep price. I just didn't get any spark out of it, whatsoever. 

A minute ago I was reading about the dearth of sales this weekend. Now this. Sweet! 

Btw: you can STILL get Waves' Element 2.0 Virtual Analog Synth (and Thorn Solo) for free through July's issue. 

ANY-2999-KNIFONIUM?-NAH

(Sole) video linked on dealer's page is a testament to old school (well, 2011) efficiency. A 13 second microverse of pure genius. If you're not getting it, if you're not buying it, you're not worthy. YOU ***** NOOBS.

BTW...Waves marketing dept is stuck....same sale...different code...for MONTHS....

It almost makes me feel bad for them. I like my Waves plugins. I'd probably get a few more, but they've had some better deals in the past (and everybody on the planet knows they'll get at least as good a deal as this in the future); this circus makes the company look silly. As if the WUP wasn't silly enough already.

No credit card needed, Fitzroy - it's just iLok activated, which is a pain but no credit card info given!

Next form (once you put in your email/Ilock) is for the card details. If you don't see this, it's either because you're logged in (my original question), or because of a geographical IP filter. Neither difficult to test, but

Is it easier to demo this if you have an account with them? Otherwise, 10 day trial with credit card details, which turns into a subscription... 

Or, get both + Nectar for $167, as the Tonal Balance Bundle upgrade/crossgrade is still online at JRR Shop (crossgrade from any paid Izotope/Exponential Audio). Voucher code 'group'.

what and when have the crazy sales in the past usually been for RX? Just wondering? Black Friday?

The best sale might have been the one that just ended (so before a new release). Something like $83 for Rx7 Standard, from Elements, at JRR. I haven't checked the new specs, but judging from the pricing for Rx8 Advanced, it probably cures Covid, so it might be a while until the next big sale.  

By the way, if you can't wait until then (and don't want to sell a kidney to get it now), there are cheaper and decent alternatives. I have Acon's Digital Restoration Suite 2 and I love it - works like a charm. Shop around! 

$799 upgrade/crossgrade to RX8 Advanced from Tonal Balance bundle and RX7 Elements?

Plugin Boutique has that sale going on also

https://www.pluginboutique.com/deals/show?sale_id=6969

Are they the same company? If not, they need to sit down with Plugin Fox, with a dictionary, and discuss the meaning of 'exclusive', over a nice game of scrabble.

I bought Bells to get Trash/Carbon free, came here to post about it, but was beaten to it by our King. 😀

I think other boards/forums might have more deals posted precisely because of what happened to you. Like, I was on pluginfox.co today, and they have a Tokyo Dawn Labs sale on (I wonder if they are affiliated with them somehow, they've been hosting exclusive sales for them). I thought about posting it here. For a second. Then I was like... why bother, copy it, format it, just to have to ask for the topic to be deleted?  🤡

More inclusiveness is what we need right now, folks. Sure, many of us perform digital labor every day, and we appreciate a sale dedicated to us, but what about all the other people, performing OTHER types of labor? HELLO?

I wasn't going to download this until I saw how happy she was...

That might be premature. The sense of relief after a complicated delivery does not in itself guarantee the quality of the end product. Although in this particular case, the visuals are definitely promising.

Couldn't even afford that...but I liked it better...

Sorry, King, I hope you'll grab it over a nice BF sale. I was curious to see if the 20% off (for any 2+ products for new customers) would work together with their sale price, but it didn't. Maybe it will next time, and you'll get an even better deal.
