TheSteven Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) UAD announces 12 Days of sales - ends Nov 24th. https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins.html Various bundle offers such as buy 3, get 3 etc. (so 6 plugins for $399) Individual plugs seem to be at same price as last week. No new coupons in my cart. And with the bundles still no active discounts for plugins that you already have/own.

pseudopop Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 ♫ On the first day of their sale UAD sent to me... a disappointing offer indeed! ♫ Because I bought the Essential Edition upgrade I arrived into a funny place with UAD: I don't want to buy the Signature Edition Crossgrade because I have already paid ~$50 for some of the plugins in it, but I am probably never going to get a better "complete my bundle" offer from UAD. So I'm probably never going to buy any more UAD plugins. Not that I need any more plugins. I haven't registered my EE yet so I could try selling it, but that's one hoop more than I'm currently willing to jump through. I understand that those of you who have invested earlier and more heavily into UAD probably feel much more disappointed by the current prices, but it's kind of funny that I got (slightly) screwed over before I even managed to install a single one of their plugins. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in some way they've singlehandedly managed to make every customer segment, new and old feel screwed all at once.. it's really quite the achievement 🤣 They have fixed the problems of existing users not liking their upgrade/crossgrade prices though.. currently you can't even log into your account to check, their website is completely broken.. haha... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are tapping and reaching into new demographics since there are people out there who'll gladly pay to get pissed on. Or so I've heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I don't know if this is the same unit modeled, but Kazrog has the Avalon VT-747SP still on intro price for $74,95. https://kazrog.com/collections/frontpage/products/avalon-vt-747sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiloteq Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Their stubborn stance of only dealing with discounts in support is more disadvantage than advantage. This is the only place I know of that does not offer a permanent discount based on the number of plugins you have. I question their attitude of treating customers as testers.🤔 Edited November 14, 2023 by Kiloteq 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirean Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 So what's the deal with Diamond > Signature updates as of late? Do people have to contact the support for the $150 discount or are people getting better discounts for the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxiousmofo Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 UAD support hosed me on a Signature upgrade from Creative and a bunch of singles that are in Signature. I'm done with them. What a POS company to pull this upgrade terms switchola so soon after onboarding a boatload of new customers under the original "Complete your bundle" dynamic pricing terms. Guess Ableton will get my money instead. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very wary about giving them any more money because their sh1tty sales practices caused me to regret spending several hundred dollars money with them in only 2.5 months. They're basically teaching people not to spend money with them because buying now is worse than buying later, with no grace period, and you can't trust their marketing messaging, because the opposite of what they've said about what's on offer has been true. They're also teaching people they have no ethics, they will lie about past promises and when evidence is presented they will cover it up and gaslight you into the bargain. Well, the lessons have been learned here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Teletronix® LA-2A Leveler Collection is €32 at Plugin Boutique now instead of the 163 on UA's own website. Well it technically is the upgrade from the free LA2A thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the lessons have been learned here. After a fair amount of back and forth bitching and evidentiary wrangling they offered me a reasonably solid deal on the Signature upgrade (I am one plug shy of the old Mix bundle at present). I'll give them credit for that, although I had to be zealous. I haven't taken the plunge as I'm going to wait and see how BF shapes up elsewhere. I don't want to reward this shoddy nonsense with my cash but I do love the UA plugs I have. Hard call. The again, how many compressors and EQ's does a human really need? Especially a hobbyist schmuck like me? I know, wrong question hereabouts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
