I would seriously consider this, if it would renew at the same rate, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 

Given the name, I was surprised to see they still come with a gain knob. But maybe 0 is set to 11, and it goes to 21.

WTH, my Duet 3 was $600

So was my UltraLite MK3. FireWire only, because FireWire is the future, anyone who's serious about music should consider investing in a FireWire interface, they told me.

Hmm...you need to purchase a library to get it though right?

If you're just starting out with Overloud, it's really worth demo-ing extensively to figure out what you're interested in. I think in terms of spending wisely, there are two main paths: 

1. You like one/all of the main TH-U packs. In this case, it's likely worth getting TH-U premium from the start, during a good sale. You'll have an extensive and flexible collection at your disposal, then you can add a few rig libraries or discounted expansion packs, if needed. TIP to save $20: get RockGuy + TH-U upgrade (from any TH-U edition, RockGuy counts) instead of TH-U Premium ($149 instead of $169, current sale prices, and that's without the jrrshop discount codes 😌). 

2. You are SURE you're mainly just interested in rig libraries. In this case, you can get tremendous value out of using TH-U  Essentials and your favorite rig libraries. With some rig libraries (e.g. BM, some BHS) or fx (RockGuy) you also get extra effects pedals or functionality normally restricted to paid TH-U versions (e.g. Amp Tweaks).  

If you go with 1., things are simple. 2. is more... a la carte, and can help you save a bit of money (compared to getting TH-U Premium + rig libraries), but is risky: if you later start getting bits that are included in the premium version (e.g. RockGuy, SuperCabinet) or are discounted for premium users (current and future expansion packs) you can easily end up at a point where you'd have been better off going with 1. from the beginning. Trust me on this, I've done the math, but more importantly, I'm a certified expert in making things more complicated and time-consuming for what is often, at best, a saving of a few $. Needless to say, I'm on the second path. 🤕 😅

TH-U is so easy to pull on a track and do 90 of what Helix does, with a fraction of the CPU.  At half off, it's a pretty good deal.  Plus you get Supercabinet and the ability to use Rig Models.  I quit the Rig Model rabbit hole because it was getting ridiculous and I couldn't trial the rigs, which would cut down on the ones I didn't end up liking.

Trialing the rig libraries is quick and straightforward, but it's not particularly generous: 24 hours, twice per year. Also, you don't need TH-U full to use rigs anymore, since TH-U Essential is freely available. To my ears, the rig libraries are where TH-U shines, but I agree, it is a rabbit hole...

We regret that we are unable to process cross-grades for Plugin Alliance orders that were deeply discounted

Yes, sure!

In my case...

Thanks! Interesting that upgrading to Kontakt 7 doesn't change the K14 upgrade price; that's my loyalty offer as well, from Kontakt 6.

I have upgraded Kontakt 7 only... for $49.50

Can you (or someone else without a Komplete licence) tell me what your upgrade price to K14 Standard/Ultimate is now, after your Kontakt 7 upgrade? 

This wouldn't renew at this rate though, would it?

An existing user can buy a full version to get the upgrade also.

Is this specified by Toontrack somewhere? It would make hunting for a cheap, full EZK fun, especially one of interest. But as mentioned above, I'm sure Toontrack are trying to squash any leftover dealer offers. 

Just now, MrFigg said:

Don’t have SplitEQ

You have the H9 collection, Equivocate, Quadravox and Precision Time Align? That's it? Are you sure? It would be weird/funny, if I had two more plugins than you (and not cheap ones), and my upgrade was $90 more. 

49 minutes ago, MrFigg said:

Yeah, actually looks as if I have Equivocate, Quadravox and Precision Time Align too.

Is that all you have? And SplitEQ? $149 is a pretty good offer in that case. I have the same plugins, except that instead of SplitEQ I have Ultrareverb and Physion, and my upgrade price is $239. Not bad, but not good enough

I've got all the stuff in the H9 Collection. My upgrade price for Anthology XII on the Eventide website is $149. Question I'm asking myself is do I "need" emulations of old harware? I've got so many phasers and EQs and reverbs (except you can never have too many of those) already. Hmm... GAS?? I think so...Hmmm

You must have more than the H9 collection. SplitEQ, maybe?

No my friend

As a new EZ Keys user, your best bet right now is to buy a new EZ Keys Full version at a retailer for cheap

You can get the Upright Piano Full Version or a few others for 49€ right here :

https://www.drum-tec.fr/toontrack-ezkeys-upright-piano-download

You then get a Free upgrade to EZ Keys 2 on May 16

This is what I did the other day, I had resold my EZ Keys a few years ago so didn't have any software to upgrade, when I bought this one, I was given a free upgrade.

EZ Keys 2 - 49€

You're welcome

So a new user/buyer can get EZ Keys 2 cheaper than the upgrade price for existing users? Nice one, Toontrack. 

They reset the voucher, as expected. And upped their prices again, especially in the lower tier 😄 

Maybe Dirk became jealous of all the attention Waves were getting, and felt like jumping in with some stupid moves of his own. 

Has anyone asked for (and received) an upgrade offer from them? They discount the bundle(s) fairly regularly, but I don't think I've ever seen an upgrade option.

Lindell TE-100 worth it?

I, for one, really like it. Nice/warm sounding, plus it's simple and intuitive to use.

You can get some interesting plugins very cheap or free

Yup. I picked up Needlepoint for $5.

If anyone is at all interested, it's also worth jumping in now, as they may reset the voucher in a day or two for those who used it, as they've done plenty of times in the past.

I received mine yesterday. And it's great fun. Would have been more fun if it also ran as an audio interface on iOS. 

But I don't have any other multifx, so it's a great way to jam in the middle of the night next to the missus with headphones on. 

And I wonder if they could update the firmware to have either reverb or delay as a timing based effect

Wouldn't an ipad or a phone + IK's HD 2 + software (A5, Tonex)  work better for that? You'd have a more flexible interface, effects, recording, looping, all that. Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought the pedal's place was in a gig rig?

Any Pros/Cons in doing so? 

I use my 65'' 4k TV as monitor often when I'm not sitting at my desk, and I'm thinkin of replacing my desk monitor with a 43'' TV as well. If you choose the right TV, it can be awesome. rtings are the best review site that I found to cover the topic; they test TV's pretty extensively and have a dedicated section in which they explain why each would work well (or not) as monitor. See here.

If you can catch the end of the of the other sale you can combine codes for some killer deals...

 

Doesn't seem to work for me (the previous codes don't work). But maybe you've found a way to stack them that works?

I kinda wrote this off because $599 is still pretty rich.  Then made the mistake of logging in and seeing my upgrade price (for Anthology 12) is $269.  I only have four of the plugs and got them free or on past sales.  Blackhole is amazing.  Resizable GUI's you say? Time to research and talk myself out of it.  Yeah, that's what I'll do. 😶

I love Eventide. My upgrade offer is also $269, despite the fact that I have at least 15 of their plugins, instead of 4. So, thanks to you, now I love Eventide 2.69% less. 

This FOMO epidemic is getting out of hand: 

• hmm, this may be a cheapo way to get a decent video editor for when I need one 🤔
• it would be nice to settle on one user-friendly option 😏 
•  feedback is good, seems like a good deal, let's log in on HB and think it over 🤑
• wow , lookie here, I have purchases from HB, I wonder what they are 🤓
• oh man, this  one's almost two years old and I never installed it, what the heck is it 🤓🤓
• hey, it's Pinnacle Studio 24 Ultimate 
•  

This is the first 'wow' sale for me this BF. I'm in. 🤕

With all of the Plugin Alliance plugins that I own, I received no email with an extra discount.
That's a pretty sad statement.  I wouldn't use it, but just the fact that I didn't get one is
pretty revealing

You mean you discovered a non-random pattern in the way your spam filter is acting up? Could it really be... ?  😮😲
