wishing them the best for the next years, and hoping the "new era" is not a subscription model  

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

The way I understand it only a few lucky winners will get it, no?

Utopia for every user and some will win the fancy Komplete versions.

Saw this deal in my e-mail earlier today. I love their sample packs. Free for a very limited time.

Got a very similar message from Universal Audio yesterday.

This plugin is fantastic. It's become one of my favorites on vocals. You throw it on there and it makes a HUGE difference right away before even touching anything.

For me, it keeps trying to install the iLok helper software but fails every time so I can't actually use Softube Central anymore. WTF.

I had a similar issue where it wouldn't connect to the iLok server. I did a force quit on the Softube installer then loaded it up again. It is working normally now. Maybe it could fix your issue as well.

Satellite Sessions is another similar plugin (and completely free) https://mixedinkey.com/satellite/

I tried it for a while and it was a lot of fun.

Then I forgot I had it because I ran out of people to try it with 😭

Yeah, I asked them about that because it's really annoying. Especially since the Plugin Boutique installer can't be hidden automatically in the background, keeps logging you out, and requires a captcha to get back into it.

Since it's a purchased plugin (not a subscription), I didn't like that it had to be activated through PIB constantly to work. They sent me a file that doesn't need their authorizer to run.

I don't think I'm the only one with that issue because I noticed that they recently updated the product page to address it and they say they're working on a new solution (or something like that).

I love it. Even if just for the free sounds (you get 10 a day on the Artist plan and more on the more expensive plans). I like that if you stop your account, you don't lose your points. They're frozen so you can't use them but when you sign up again you can continue where you left off. Plus, recently they've often had a free plugin for current users (it was monthly for a little while but no updates recently - hopefully they start doing that again, too.)

There are tons of sounds for pretty well every style of music.

I don't use their plugins (DRUM, PLAY, etc.) but they seem interesting.

As for the price, they do the 50% off once in a while but the annual plan doesn't usually go cheaper than that. You can sometimes get a month for $1 but for the annual plans, this price is generally as low as it goes (at least in the past). You can sometimes get the discount on Plugin Boutique (and get a free plugin with purchase) but it doesn't look like it's there this time - seems to be at the regular price.

I'm loving Drift. I have to take the time to learn how to actually use it instead of just loading random presets. One of these days! In the meantime, this preset pack will be fun to use.

There are no more fees or time restrictions for these downloads.

This is fantastic news!

Still showing as free for me...

Also says "This pack is free to download untill the end of Sunday!"

So maybe they extended it.

It says offer available for new subscriber only. Do u see code if u got plan?

Yes, after signing in, you can go to https://www.loopcloud.com/cloud/myaccount and it will show your code.

It's a great Rack Extension!

There are a lot of ways to customize the sidechain/pump effect.

I did a video a while back which might help those trying to decide if they want to download it or not.

On mine, there wasn't a pop-up but at one point there was a red "sign up" box at the bottom that mentioned the plugin when you expand it.

Thanks for that! Sadly, I don't have that Product keys section in my account so I guess I'm not one of the lucky ones. Enjoy FireMaster - it looks like a fun plugin!!!

Where does it show in your account? I don't see it. I just realized I wasn't subscribed so maybe only for subscribers...

Looks like they fixed the server.

I missed all of you!

So.... we've got about 24 hours of deals to catch up on!!!

And look at SONiVOX's Big Bang Cinematic Percussion. There's a huge bug--they've known about it for almost a decade and won't fix it. 

Do you mean the crash on MIDI input? If so, it's been fixed! I can't remember if I got the update from the Sonivox website or Plugin Boutique but it worked! So much nicer now!

If you use the Izotope Product Portal, it will install the most recent version.

Gotta say, I'm impressed they're still updating Ozone 9 (since version 10 was released a while ago).

Thanks, Izotope!

standalone version that can be setup to roundtrip in resolve

What does this mean? I've been using Davinci Resolve a lot with my regular music plugins but I'm wondering what the roundtrip thing is. Maybe I could be using them even more than I thought!

Don't forget to add the code VST10OFF for an extra 10% discount.

Could this help you? https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=26662

Not sure what your "my DAW" is, but selecting "Update Plug-in List" in Studio One (forces a re-scan of the Wave Shells at DAW start-up).

That did the trick for me in Studio One. The updated v14 Wave Shells were not automatically scanned at startup until I did this.

Cakewalk had no issues with the updated plug-ins, as it always seems to check the Wave Shells. But in Reaper VST preferences I had to "Clear Cache and Re-scan" to get v14 working.

If it's Ableton, holding down cmd (or alt on Windows) when you click rescan in the plugin preferences will do a full scan.
