I got an email from Hornet- Sale extended another 24 hours 😁

Birthday Celebrations! Here's a Google Sheet you can use to track offers. Take note that there are several freebies shown at the top and the dates that the offers will be available are down the right hand side. You can also view all deals on the corresponding deals pages as not everything will be captured in the Google Sheet. https://www.lootaudio.com/

Hey- They came through for me! (direct reply to my support request). Thank you UAD 🙏 I nice consolation prize for missing the NI mega-deal that, according to the forum time-stamps ended a couple hours before I crawled out of bed. <edit> Ignore. UAD came through with the $99 offer and I am a happy camper!

Still no luck for me either. I registered with UAD and have even let UA connect run daily. I get loads of email from them (Labor Day sale etc, maybe daily). I am still holding out hope. I sent a request to support after Fleer got his code, but still no response there either. Three day weekend assuming support is in California, so... 🤞

In case anyone was looking at a new purchase rather than an upgrade, I found the following on the Imageline blog. Code for $10 off the $89 price.

Agree with @ToneDeF and point out that if you are upgrading, you will still have Anthology 3 (with its unique patches and samples that still use the Anth-3 interface) unless you uninstall it.

Hey! It really is available. Musio had been sending out email announcements and posting YT of new instruments that don't actually show up for a couple weeks. Maybe they are on top of it now. 👍

https://www.tracktion.com/products/attracktive A free sound pack player. Just pay sound pack prices. Intuitive adaptive UI. No subscription - add sounds on your terms. (Based on Biotek 2) Also 40% off everything with code LABOR23

Thanks @Kirean I've not received an email, so I will keep an eye out for it. You have to use iLok, but soft is acceptable. You also have to install their UAD installer app, which will run all the time in the background BUT after everything is working, you can uninstall the UAD app.

I apparently have the same customer standing at UAD as @MusicMan. I only own the Polymax freebie. My bundle price is $349 and I am not seeing any discount code.

I am not a network expert, but I know enough to NEVER allow UPnP services to run on an Internet facing router. To do so opens your network to a world of pain. Dig out the router manual and learn to route port forwards, or better yet, VPN client/server.

It's fun- I am still on the demo (drops 5 seconds every minute) but will probably bite. I was just using UJAM Finisher Boost on a project that does this kind of thing, but I like the tunability and UI of the Baby product. Finishers are super simple, but most of the tweaking is beyond user control. Infiltrator goes the complex route, unless you can find a preset. The Baby stuff hits a pretty sweet spot for control/simplicity.

I think so @MusicMan- I added the Loopcloud coupon item and FIRST and I then selected the free with purchase item. I think I have only done this twice- June and July. I didn't bother with it this month because I already had that freebie from a previous offer. It's possible they eliminated the ability I suppose.

I went back in on a sub in June. At $60 a year (the common 50% off sale price) I might find it worth keeping. So far they have given some nice monthly free exclusive VSTs (Polymax is amazing) and they also entitle you to the PB monthly free-with purchase VST. So- if they keep it up, you are getting up to 24 freebies a year. The Loopcloud utility with Zplane stretching/tempo and Jamahook AI matching works pretty well. I am looking forward trying the newly announced VST tool. Sidenote: Image-Line just announced their own sample store integration into FL Studio 20.2 BETA, FL-CLOUD. Gotta sniff out some more revenue with the upgrade-forever-free DAW. Hope it doesn't get too intrusive.

Dom's overview. Looks kinda fun.

Indeed. It works very well on four different mixed tracks I tried. It is certainly the best "four dummy buttons" stem splitter I have listened to. But I also got it "free"as an upgrade. $150 is a big ask. Fast attack drums separate pretty well, but most melodic stuff sounds kind of "phasey", probably where some of the layered freqs have been processed.

Qualified "yes"- You can drag and drop complete phrases only. Part of the fun is jumping around between among though, and not letting them play out. This would require MIDI out of your "live" play, which it cannot do. Ref: https://support.ujam.com/hc/en-us/articles/5840960069778-Virtual-Pianist-MIDI-Out That may be how Beatmakers work- I don't know, as I don't use those often.

FREE Update from 1.0 https://serato.com/sample I am a little confused by the price- $149 (or $10 sub/month), but free upgrade from 1.0 which I think I paid $39 for (reg $49) a couple years ago. I am looking for the "gotcha", but so far- Thank You Serato!

Dissenting opinion from an OLD user 🧐 I really like the first two UJAM Piano players, and suspect I will buy "Score" as well, because I have had a lot of fun with them. Thankfully they do offer a free 30 day trial. I also like some of the guitars and most of the basses. While there are guitar and bass libs for Kontakt ("Session") that let you do a similar kind of MIDI phrase "remixing" like UJAM stuff does, I haven't come across (Kontakt) piano libs that work in a similar way. EZ Keys is great too BTW, but not as easy to just sit and create something cool "live".

I might have given them a point for creative UI if Unison Audio hadn't spoiled that look for me.

There were already several VST3 updates in the past, but I think NKS support is new. Maybe something in there for Apple-ers. Run the UJAM app to update. https://www.ujam.com/tutorials/how-to-run-select-ujam-plugins-in-nks-m1-au-and-vst3-formats/
