No offense, but hate subscriptions.  Means you've gotta pay someone something repeatedly!

Kinda like this company in this recent article below:

https://petapixel.com/2023/09/15/adobe-hikes-creative-cloud-prices-as-it-reports-record-revenue/

If you're too busy to read it, it essentially says... AI/Added Features = Increase in subscription price.  That's why subscriptions, for the most part, are never a good thing.  They can easily raise the price on a whim.  And if you ever cancel your subscription, you can't re-open your old projects.

The greediness is real. 

As much as possible, try not to support greedy companies.

So… they keep updating Vinyl, but they chose not to do that with Trash and just kill it off.  (Release dates in 2004 and 2003 respectively, I believe). Interesting 🧐

//Ya ya, I know they’re two different types of plugins

I miss the free Epic Games posts that used to be here.  If it is considered too far afield I will cease.  I keep forgetting to check every week and I liked the reminder.

I bought 911 Operator a few years ago on Steam and I really like it.  You can set the city map any any real city in Open Street Maps.  I actually worked nights as a 911 dispatcher when I was a college student.  I won't compare this to reality (for one thing, back then our maps were on paper), but it is fun.

 

Right on!  I miss these posts too.  
We all need a little downtime here and there… from making music and checking out the latest deals on this forum.  See?  It’s definitely a music-related and deals-related post 😁

Please keep posting these reminders 👍

Also on Plugin Boutique

Good to know!  PB is actually a good one-stop-shop to download any future updates, when needed.

Creative Edition is $99 if you got the (free) PolyMax, which you could still get with a free month of LoopCloud. 
Also, this lowers Diamond Edition to $319. 

I already purchased PolyMax  last year and own a handful of UAD and Spark plugins.  Wasn't lucky enough to receive that sweet $99 deal 😔

I'm thinking $199 might be the best price for Creative Edition, unless BF/CM has something better.  

I think I'm gonna wait this one out.

Really great prices.  But is the smart move waiting for BF/CM, which is around the corner?  Anyone know if those bundles have been cheaper before?

That was nice of them

As far as 2D animation software I THINK, its the best out there and easiest to use. @Lionel You can start with a very cheap entry point of $59.99 for MOHO Debut 14. No SUBs,  one off payments

https://moho.lostmarble.com/products/moho-debut-14

There are Trial demos for both Pro and Debut also. Lots and lots of tutes

 

Good to know… thanks!

If that March 26, 2023 debacle never happened, I'd be all over this deal.

Looks like an amazing and fun piece of software!

Unavailable to order now.

Oh wow!  It was an error.  

$29 for version 2(full) which just came out recently...  Amazing deal!  Just bought it.  Thanks OP!

But it's gotta be an error.  Everywhere else it's selling for $89 intro price.

If you like D16 plugins, I'd recommend getting this before they fix the price.

Yeah, it's a unique code from a PB email. I guess one might have been targeted for the email if they got the LITE for free from Plugin Boutique.

You’re totally right. I did a quick search in my email inbox… found an email with a unique code!  I need to check my emails more often 😅

It seems to be a processor hog under certain circumstances. So you may be happier without it. After all, it's a channel strip used on every track. 

I actually don’t mind. I can just print the track(s) with the FX

The  coupon is not valid anymore. 

🫣

You're right.  I just verified for myself.  I really wanted this dang plugin too.

I'm guessing it was a single-use personalized coupon, perhaps?

I believe it will get support for a few more years from memory, but they've announced its being sunset, so it's definitely on the way out.

Ahh, I see.  Thanks!

Softube stopped supporting mkI not too long ago, correct?

About 88 licenses left now

I'm not lucky... don't see any of those products on sale =/  So, get them while you can!

Following my purchase of the Creative Edition the Ultimate became $799, while at Gearslutz someone with 25 plugins and another with 89 plugins both ended up with the same price for Ultimate. 

Wow. Definitely no consistency. But a great situation for new customers

Is he a one man crew? I don’t know anything about this dev

Interesting, but a definite pass on this one

Thanks so much for compiling this list @PavlovsCat

I've never heard of a lot of these products.  Can't wait to give them a go!

I actually like the Waves CLA76 but want to get away from them and demoed this a little while ago and it was as good and better than Waves, but no WUP and even cheaper than the regular $29 Waves "sale" price!

I would've snatched the Overloud GEM at $29 from AudioDeluxe which I also demoed at the same time but the UAD just had the edge. Overloud Comp76 is really good too though.

Later CLA76 🙂

That's exactly what I'm doing as well.  I'm trying to phase out my Waves plugins, especially with UA plugins.  If ever to invest in a software emulation of the hardware, it definitely is nice knowing that you're getting the one made by the same company.

Oh the they stack alright!! I got the 1176 bundle for $14US 😁

Nice! Good to know! 👍

If you were able to buy the Creative bundle, you should have a personal $25 code on Universal Audio's own site. Combined with the Laborday code (available at checkout [not sure if it has limited uses]) you can drive the price down to ~20 USD.

It's $89 with code: LABORDAY2023 @ uaudio.com(and I'm not sure if codes can be stacked).  Definitely a better deal at Audiodeluxe.  I'd save that $25 code for another product at uaudio.com.
