I think they are still present. No hacker or website disaster can change it... I do really respect and appreciate ALL people who use their free time to code something and share... But in the same time I have lots of commercial or free great plugins which are working great so still respecting that guy I just cannot waste time or put even theoretical risk because of my curiosity (or GAS/collector syndrome) . So from my point of view it is case close. And besides of any possible sympathy I just cannot afford supporting with hope for better future. I have quite limited resources and big GAS addiction so I need invest in something what is more promising... Still I do respect his work and crossing fingers... No hate or anything... But id doesn't mean I will lie to 'homies'....

Somebody needs to tell them pressing 'alt' with 'print screen' gives only image of an active window on Windows Not sure how to do it on Mac but there must be a shortkey as well

Wow.... What extreme amount of emu freebies... It is a pity there is a choice between kind of subscription ($5/month) or free. I believe additional choice with one time donation could give developer some additional and significant money. Now need to put myself into insane mode with anti-anything checking and then test something to feed my curiosity... EDIT: hm, insane checking mode failed, multiple alerts. What is strange (and suspicious?) I cannot see any contact info to developer on web pages... Well, I will not take any risk, full armed with many plugins, will check in a few months again the web...

Thank you. Excellent, this is what I am after... Not really interested in learning classical pieces it would have no use in production and always better to hire real pianists (or midi ) if trying to use classical elements

ok, not to complain again and again about the same about voucher and getting so boring I would dye of it I just have created post to PA and send to them. Included below. If any of $50/$75 voucher owner would like to join and send to them also her/his thought is very welcome of course. Anyway I feel now quite calm and relaxed... I did everything I could. Now it is not up to me... Nothing I can do... Anything but wait till my cursed $50 voucher disappear and case solved... If the surprised me this time in pleasant way it would be great. If not never mind... The will be more and more deals to feed the GAS on many great manufacturers ------ here is content if anybody cares -- Dear PA, I was so excited when I earned $50 voucher hoping it will give me even better possibilities to buy what I want... But instead I got terrible disappointment... $50 voucher is useless... The ways better is to have $25 voucher! Starting this year no single deal as good as for $25 voucher owners... I wanted MC77 on January so much but unfortunately was restricted by limit to use voucher and I ended with wasted voucher... Also no combined deals with anything what I was interested This month the same situation bx_console Focusrite was what I really wanted but was not able to buy it as I could having still $25 voucher... Of course to cross the $50 voucher limit I could add any random $29 plugin but: 1/ It would cost still more than if I had $25 voucher - maybe $4 more seems not much but is is psychologically completely disappointing and disgusting for people who bought more to be forced now payed more for things Sounds like 'buy more and you will be not appreciated but discriminated' 2/ I don't want to pay for any random or already owned plugin So if it is not kind of oversight but conscious policy maybe you would provide for us $50 and $75 owners possibility to use our vouchers just like voucher with lower value (even if 1 time only 'losing' 'value')? Well, of course, I can just wait till my last year spent money value again will be below $300 so I will get $25 voucher again the only one which is really usable... Or maybe you could give more plugins on deals to combine them? Isn't the idea of limits on higher vouchers? Anyway probably the more desired plugins by me were already on deals so maybe just never mind and whatever ? Or maybe I can use all those months with such sale politics to get rid of GAS syndrome and instead constant looking for colors I should stop buying and focus on music... And I would be grateful for your help with saving my money and helping me focus on music instead of constant looking for deals, counting, waiting, hoping, whole month checking, trying to guess what to do etc... You can consider again what you would really like from people who are investing more in your plugins or you can just do nothing... More and more people are getting aware $50/$75 vouchers are not any price but rather penalty... Regards, Piotr --------------------

oops, not this post commented , sorry At this one to be consistent I can just write something like this: nice to be able to use this deal without any limits to buy for example total should be more than $75 etc

@ZincT Thank you

Is this course worth of time needed to invest? Is it having a good approach, clarity, tricks to learn faster something innovative or special? Or just bunch of boring exercises needed to practice like at ordinary school?

Nice EQ, but lacking of dynamic behavior makes it little behind of competitors like Melda or FabFilter. I hope they will improve it a little. While I get it free having Slate subs I still have more powerful choices to use. But if somebody has no better option will be happy, very easy to use, fully re-sizable, M/S, workflow is excellent

You can use both codes (personal if logged in) but you are right price was much better during BF for it (and also you could add personal voucher to it to further decrease). But I am not sure if AA will decide to make such deal before BF2020. Always hard to predict plans for deals (probably depends on their stats and month condition). For instance during BF19 El Rey price was ways higher than at latest El Rey deal... So if you are patient and can wait it could better skip this sale. But no warranty they will do again at BF20. As always balance between luck, wallet, patience, desire

Install not asking where to install... Another mess creator... Ehhh...

Yep, you are right but I still believe there are people who are not GAS (or ownership) syndrome affected as many of us (me including of course) and they don't need to have plugins available at any moment whole year but just for a period of time to complete their work and move on. For instance they have gigs 3/4 of a year and in they rest they are doing different things... For instance somebody who is session musician and living mostly from it and need mix or produce only when he get an order for it and do not need have plugins whole time but on the contrary several days during a year and printing stems, send, be paid and forget. Instead of buying any bundles one could just subscribe for a month to do a work. Or a non-pro guy who has not music related work very absorbing and have only 1 month or less during year to do anything other... Etc... There are lots of people in different situation. But anyway everybody is able to count and see if subscription is giving him benefits or not... I similarly to Larry has one and only one subscription currently and in plans which is Slate and absolutely no regrets... And feel no point to buy anything to own from them. Too many too good stuff but however very pricey...

I would disagree, Matthew If I am not wrong their subscription offers before was completely unreasonable. Now on the contrary, they could be interesting for some people. I mean people who wants them just to use few times for a project and don't care about having them. I am aware of course deals for gold much below $99

Yep, I hear you. But first thing there is no such option to get as good deal as like having $25 voucher... The only closest possibility is to combine focusrite with $29 plugin what in total will give $28.99 against $24.99 so you need to pay $4 more comparing if you have $25V. It is not a lot you could say but still psychologically makes me very uncomfortable and frustrated. Yep I did it in the past, many times, have several licenses of tuner which is in fact not used by me (so many better alternatives) But hey, we (I mean mostly you are publishing deals here which are differing sometimes several cents (EP against JRR or AD or something else), right? And Larry, you underestimate me, I am at next level of GAS and not getting 'freebie' which cost more than $0 Maybe another explanation is I am tired of that approach... Tricking, sneaking, trash collecting, etc... I would like just to buy, fast, quick and be appreciated by manufacturer if I buy more... Not discriminated but appreciated

Thanks Simon, the thing is I have already got most of PA plugins and don't want pay even $1 for that redundancy I don't need, or random plugin I just don't want it is still wasting money and what's is more important and so frustrating worse deal comparing to those having $25 (I could just not to buy anything in December and still have $25 voucher). I had harder fight on January because I wanted purple77 very strongly and had impression (but maybe wrong) at a moment I could combine it with something I didn't have yet but realized I didn't want to pay for any plugin what I didn't really like ... EDIT: most of those I wanted to have at any moment

Thanks, Larry, but I don't want to spend even $1 more than I would need if I have $25 voucher... But anyway I would need to add something with price at least $25 1 of penalties for spending more than $300 last year is $75 limit... So PA limit concept sounds just like 'the more you spent per year the more you are forced to spend to have usable voucher.' I would add 'but don't be afraid you will not be provided with such good deals as for $25 voucher owners anyway...' I am also really tired with looking for tricks to be able to buy something in prices like I have spent much less at their shop... And buying random plugins or those I have already bought...

Hm, I just need to stop buying PA things till October to get rid off that useless $50 voucher... 🙄

It depends It could be true last weeks because the latest thing which was game changer for buyer was changed PA selling politics... But in many older posts you could easily find threads about plugs themselves. They are doing really great plugins and if would ask me about my favorites (among what I already have) it would be quite a long list Some of very nice would be for instance: ACME Audio Opticom XLA-3 Black Box Analog Design HG-2 Brainworx bx_townhouse Buss Compressor elysia mpressor elysia Phil's Cascade SPL Vitalizer MK2-T Vertigo VSC-2

Yes, it is not the best place to publish such sad news, but @simonfor sure had good intention and only wanted to express his sadness and share with us. But com on, please do not assume Layle's friends are not intelligent people understanding what topic 'another legend gone' means and it is not related to any deals or joke (how could anyone have even such idea?) . Every subforum creates some bonds between people who are visiting it more often and writing each to other... Some of us are not visiting every part and probably this was why Simon wanted to share that sad news with people who he was familiar here in this place... For me personally Layle was one of greatest heroes music in my younger age. I liked his unexceptionally tasteful performances, so I was shocked with this news... And firstly get know about it here...I didn't think at the moment reading if it is right place I was crushed and felt very very sorry about what happened Anyway we are people so it could happen oftopic we are talking here not only strictly about deals but also from time to time about things which affected us strongly... Yes, it creates mess, yes, it makes harder to find what is related to topic, and yes it creates confusion but we are people so sometimes we are failing to be such robotic precise to follow convenience. Anyway Simon was feeling bad about what happened, wanted to share it with us (maybe not even thinking what would be right place) and now after such 'words' he is probably feeling even worse... This was intention just to punish not caring about how he is feeling now? I am sure you really don't mean it. Hm, should I feel sorry and guilty I published here wishing Merry Christmas topic addressed just to these group people I know little better and feel little more bonds with them because of it? Not right place, very offtopic but I was thinking only about putting some warm words to people I am meeting here... Maybe instead such strong reprimand it would be better to write something like "Simon it is so sad, please share the news with whole coffee forum and move the topic there" or something better expressed (considering my broken English is not the best tool to express what exactly I mean).

Nice they keep items still discounted and now you can add additional discount

Yep, I know the trick, I have already some tuner licenses... I decided to skip everything what is not in my interest, no more random plugins,tricks etc... If PA don't intend to provide any interesting deals for 50/75 owners comparable for 25V owners let it be... It did really frustrate me... After some months no buying anything from PA I will be again at 25V level with my last year spend or maybe even lose interest in buying anything from them... I do really getting frustrated when seeing "the more you buy the worse you are treated by manufacturer" policy... Anyway there are some alternatives for this plugin like Acustica Audio with Aquamarin4 and SKNote with SDC...

Grrr... Again deal useless for 50/75V owners... And it is the only plugin on the sale so no way to be able to use it even with additional 'random' plugin added to cross the minimum limit. Hm, but maybe it would work as kind of desensitization and in turn I would lose interest in looking at any deals from them?

Yes, you do Plate-140 is an instant happy maker, Intensitivity is a Machine of nice and strange About spring not sure yet seems my other plug I like better so far. But anyway it is the best to test Just try every of them 5 minutes on your tracks you know very well. Compare against your go-to things... If you didn't feel a need to have them it would be a sign you didn't need them

Thanks for a word of consolation Dirk wrote about their mega sales every quarter so maybe - whatever hard it is - we need a little patience till the nearest mega sale. I didn't buy anything from PA in January why am I not happy about money saving? I just realized I really desire only 4 PA plugins and there are 4 quarters so 4 mega sales... The only question if I am able to pick what I want on those sales... They can provide such plugins combinations on their big sales they will be not for me again, considering I have lots of their plugs... 🙄

brrr... please do not recall it 😞 Believe or not I am so stupid to hope this month there will be a possibility for me to use it with any sense Otherwise I will probably write to PA support and ask them... to downgrade my voucher to $25 😧
