Where the hell does the discount code go, can’t see anywhere? I’m on mobile, is the issue?

I think it means each plug-in within bundle, as adding to cart, bundles are coming in at over $100 

Those bundles aren’t $29 for me? Showing as $29 for each plug-in in bundle

@tom  how well is the Kent working for you? Are you able to track in realtime with it or do you use it in a  "reamp" mode? 

None of the Vox clones I've tried have the sound I'm looking for. The Kent recently popped up on my radar but have yet to try a Nebula. The couple of Aquas I've tried, while sounding great, score very low on dynamic responsiveness (playability). 

fwiw, SGear continues to be my goto for tone & playability and I am but one of many who would love to see his take on an AC30. Unfortunately there has never been any indication or commitment to development. The latest release implies a priority on pedals, so not expecting any surprises any time soon (or this decade given his track record).

I absolutely love the sound of Kent, I’ve tried all the amp sims and nothing compares, driving it by increasing the input gain just sounds wonderful. You’re right though, the full plug-in I can only use for re-amping. If I want to play live though the light version works very nice.

have to jump through a few hoops with the nebula player but worth reading instructions slowly and carefully. Def recommend!

Intro price €56

their Kent and Surrey amps are the best ITB for me. Uses Nebula tech so latency can be high but they include light version

Spitfire's app is notorious for breaking installations, even when the content isn't moved. Literally 100s of posts about this on their forum. Shit, I just opened the app and it says half of my Labs aren't installed, but they all are, and they all work fine. The App is trash. 

Same. Gave up on it

Acustica Audio - Lime2 ( €49 with code) was €199

Use code: limecode75

Lime (15) - A combination of modern AMS Neve gear. A = VR B = 88RS. C/D = 8051 5.1 Surround Compressor/Limiter E = FJ V Series Channel Strip Preamp F is a Neve 1073. Version 2 brought the C desk (Neve V console?) and a large variety of microphone, line input and other console preamps.

Can’t be used in conjunction with loyalty codes apparently

Avoid the cheap cables, never worth it in the long run. Learn to solder your own for the win 😀

How much does one need to spend to get on that tier? I'm still on the first 15% loyalty tier. 

I started buying from Acustica in 2017 when each plug-in was always at least €130 even on sale so it was easy to climb up to the €1000-1500 tier for the 30% loyalty discount. Since they started doing all the mega sales, I only really buy Aquas if they are sub €49 and so Ive been on the same tier for the last 3 years

Picked up Brown for 26€ after my loyalty discount, couldn’t resist

How many individual izotope serial numbers did you get, ignoring the EA reverbs?

Iris 2
Stutter Edit 2
RX Post Production Suite 6
BreakTweaker Expanded
iZotope Music Production Suite 5
Trash 2

It's possible that RX is part of PPS so there is no separate serial number.

Have you installed it and then tried to activate it?

Not tried installing yet, I am just on the Product Portal at the moment. Will download and install now and see what happens

It's part of Music Production Suite 5, so if you haven't, you need to register that.
If you've already registered it, then it will be down farther on your list.

Yeah Ive redeemed MPS5 too but RX advanced still showing as Full Trial. All others fully activated

So I bought and have activated the serial for the RX Post Production Suite 6 and everything authorised as expected except RX Advanced 9 is still showing as Trial and I cant find a serial number to activate it? Any ideas?

Also says R4 and Nimbus are included but I didnt receive codes for them

wow, this is a crazy deal. And it works? EDIT: Well I went for it, soon see 🤣

Yeah, I use this all the time for effects level matching

Always found this so fun when demoing but always had random crashes (Windows/Reaper). Have demoed a few times and never seems to get better, thats why I've never jumped in. How stable is it for others?

With extensions there’s nothing that S1 can  do that REAPER can’t. I know that’s not ideal for some, but extensions are part of REAPER world and they’re absolutely amazing and mostly free. The most essential one IMO is Heda Track Inspector. With the tag system I can control the visibility of my orchestral sections so easily! The VIP version has some crazy extra features too.

Thanks for the heads up, donated for the VIP and now I’m lost in a world of scripts, I’m in way over my head 😂

That's a big distraction. Your DAW esthetics should ideally be inspirational, or at least transparent to your creativity.

True. There's always been something a bit Windows 2000 with Reaper Interface for me, a bit too utilitarian. Would love the sleek S1 approach of the  GUI with the guts of Reaper, ultimate DAW!

Edit: sorry, I’ll keep politics out of here

Better comping is coming very soon!

Oh really!? Very interesting!

I love Reaper, I always dabble with other DAWs until I hit a limitation that Reaper can handle with ease. Any complicated idea of routing or whatever I can think up, Reaper or it’s users usually have a solution. I’m still looking for that elusive theme though that will make me happy. Also wish comping was as neat as Studio One

Meh sale prices are slowly creeping up again, couple months back the midweek deals were hovering around 49euros
