paulo Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The more "sales" I see, the more I lose interest. Not just here, but in all areas of life. I find the relentless pursuit by whatever business for whatever money I may or may not have really quite tiresome. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I sort of agree. The advertised sales were not that great. I think Arturia was the only one that sort of did what they usually do, offer a great incentive to get and upgrade into their collection if you are an interested customer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I don't really agree with the sales not being that great. For me personally that is. I managed to get through almost my entire wishlist, with only Kickzilla left which wasn't on sale and Sonible Smart EQ3 which is fairly new and I didn't excepted to get a great discount. Sure, they were not totally amazing, but they all matched or surpassed previous sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few exceptions...but Black Friday is supposed to be the time for "THE SALE"...so it was pretty lack-luster in that regards...

There was hardly anything that exceeded previous sales. But this time I had the financial means haha 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my feeling as well. The only no-brainer deals that I came across are still online at audiodeluxe - the Tokyo Dawn comp/eq and the Exponential Audio reverbs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Last year was so deep and crazy that I'm still working on stuff I got a year ago. I will be upgrading my reverb collection with Nimbus and R4 for $9 per license, gonna get 4 so as to have them both on my iLok and laptop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwaffel Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 What's really fun is getting through your emails and then looking back and seeing 150 more have appeared. That was pretty much every hour this black friday. It was absurd and irritating because some companies were sending 3-4 different emails a day as well.

I'm not familiar with Molot, but I used and like the free Kotelnikov, so there was that. Maybe I'd bite if PB had an interesting freebie to go with it. First world problems, for sure. I have this annoying habit of not going from the beginning for bundles that I like and want. Then I gradually pick up the individual plugins from those bundles, during sales, to end up at or near the full bundle ...only having spent 10x the time chasing deals, ordering and activating plugins, without having saved any $. Tokyo Dawn, Soundtoys, Eventide, Arturia, Black Rooster, Izotope, I'm sure there's more. Just plain stupid. 🤕🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Once you get everything IK, Melda, Kilohearts, Arturia. It does come to point that you failed to explore what you have and buy the miracle EQ or compressor new kid on the block. As for Kontakt libraries disk space becomes an issue and gets more expensive when you think about switching to SSDs. You have to start deleting stuff. I'm starting to ignore more Kontakt freebies.
