tom Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I really want Omnisphere but knows it never goes on BF sale (Or any sale?). Whats a good strategy for getting it cheaper over BF (I'm in UK), would Time+Space have coupon codes over their whole site or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&S 20% anything coupon is your best chance at a significant reduction these days unless you happen to have a local supplier with boxed stock and a willingness to have a deal, but if there's a pattern to why/when T&S give them out, I've never noticed it. Opening a new account might be worth a try as IIRC they used to give you discount points or something, but nowhere near equivalent to 20%. FWIW Omnisphere is worth every penny IMO and the fact that you know that you won't see it reduced by 50% the week after you bought it is at least of some comfort when buying. The recent (overpriced) expansion packs seem to suggest that they are going down that route, at least for a while, rather than releasing a v3 any time soon, but I guess that will depend on how many are prepared to fork out for the expensive preset packs.

Hey Paulo, thanks that's a great tip, Shame it's not a black friday deal kind of offer but may wait for it. I have an Andromeda A6 Synth which looks like it would pair beautifully with Omnisphere. I'm not sure I can hold out too much longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess BF is close enough that it can't hurt to wait and see if T&S do come up with anything. I hope that when you do get it that it's everything you expected/hoped for. For me It's hard to imagine that a synth guy could be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I just saw Tiger the Frog's Black Friday / November sales thread at VI Control. My strategy should be to avoid that thread at all costs -- because those are a lot of costs when you add them up. Seriously though, my plan is to not spend more than $100 USD on music software related purchases for the rest of the year. I'm sure I'll end up looking back at this post at the end of the month and saying, "Well, the best laid plans...:" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stow Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Each year I keep an Excel spreadsheet (a tab for each year within the Excel file) for the music gear I buy. I definitely have noticed a decline in what I buy over the years. I set myself a budget each year. It helps to curb any overspending. This year not spent very much.

Reid Rosefelt Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 In the past, my post went crazy in mid-month and then all hell broke loose during Thanksgiving week. But this year I have the feeling that a lot of the sales are starting earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude77 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 My strategy is to cave into every deal I see, smoke my credit cards, and then try to beat y wife to the mail box. I figure I have at least a 50/50 chance of success. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's currently 15% off at Musicians Friend. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/spectrasonics-omnisphere-2/j20206000000000?rNtt=omnisphere&index=1 Edited November 7, 2021 by rsinger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 VPN is your friend. But I’m afraid they may limit delivery to US addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok thanks EDIT: Yeah VPN worked to access site but no dice shipping to UK. Actually even with 15% discount code its $445 only £10/$15 cheaper than standard UK price of £339 for it and I have some loyalty points at T&S thats gives me the edge. Thanks for the tips though everyone! Edited November 7, 2021 by tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have different tabs for Kontakt Instruments, VSTis, Effects, etc. I certainly helps keep me honest on what I buy (or don't need to buy). Its been a great help to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
