cclarry Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 No moons guys...seriously! What have you managed to acquire during this pretty lackluster Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2023? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 For now… Spitfire The Ton for $69 (already had eDNA). Reason Chord Sequencer and e-instruments StringWerk for free with loyalty coupon (was $74 on sale). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiousmofo Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Feeling well behaved. So far only Bazille, Tomofon and an Orakle-X upgrade. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cormier Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Mercuriall Ampbox U530 Cabinetron BFD3 Black Album Drums The Orchestra Essentials (Free) Post-Metal EZX Progressive Foundry SDX Still on the fence about MIKKO2; the demo is pretty convincing in terms of ease of use and flexibility but with a hard drive full of IRs finding new life in Cabinetron, I'm not sure I need it or would neglect one or the other.

X-53mph Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This year, I was hoping to pick up a good 25 key midi controller with semi weighted keys for a good price, but I haven't seen any worthwhile discounts. Some have even been fake discounts. For example: Amazon offers AKAI Professional MPK Mini Play MK3 at 8% discount for 119 Euro. Thomann offers the same model undiscounted for less and free delivery. I might as well just wait. Black Friday Shmyday - mah 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jngnz Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Count this as another Black Friday where virtually everyone is like "meh" and I'm like CAN. NOT. STOP. BUYING THINGS. HEEEEELP. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Fowler Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I've bought a few small things, but nothing huge (thank goodness). Boz Labs NY Steinway L Bundle ($22 after BestService coins) Melda Soundfactory ($14 after coupon for signing up for newsletter) Melodyne upgrade from essential to assistant ($49) Klevgrand Borsta + Black Friday bundle ($89) ToneX Max ($54-ish after Jampoint glitch) Several ToneJunkie capture packs for ToneX at $3-4 each. The Mars Astra is an unexpected gem, and the BadCat/Matchless packs have some absolutely killer sounds in them. Still a little more than I'd intended to spend because the NZ dollar is weak, but I feel very virtuous for not springing for the UAD upgrade to the Signature bundle when that was available for $150. Fortunately, their 2 for $99 offer runs until Dec 1st, which means I can get SoundCity studios and something else (maybe the Neve 1073 preamp/eq) with my Dec allowance 🙂 (a sad thing to say for a guy closer to 50 than 40, I know!). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Ewing Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) I do most annual purchase in November / December, and although I had a large budget, I've been pretty conservative (yes, this is conservative lol): Audio Imperia: Talos, Aeria Lite, Nucleus, Cerberus, Jaeger. Considering Solo. The reg. discounts, loyalty discounts, and crossgrades made this releatively cheap. Cinesamples Musio: just the annual sub ($90 for 12 month). I'll probably grab the whole non-sub deal for $299 before end of year as I'm quite impressed with what's already there. 8Dio: Majestica Ultra (upgrade), Silka Choir (they gave me $30 deal for owning Insolidus) Excite Audio: Motion Harmonic (love this developer, use Console & Expanse a lot.) Kiloheart: Phase Plant. (Now convinced it's the best granular synthesis engine around, even eclipsing Absynth, Quanta 2. Maybe not Kaivo.) Audio Ollie: LA Modern Percussion Skybox Audio: Hammer + Waves collection + expansion. Presets: A few preset packs for Omnisphere. Looking at a couple more from String Audio / Unfinished. Cherry Audio Polymode: Got it for $6! Hardware: New flight cases for mobile rig. **Still to come: Choir purchase. Still can't decide between Audio Imperia Chorus + Performance Samples Oceania I & 2....or....AudioBro's Eternity Complete. Both Chorus & Oceania set come to the same price as Eternity Complete. And I've used Chorus & Oceania before at various studios and more than capable. Hmm. I can't decide yet. New solo orchestra library: Can't decide. I'm not inspired by anything I currently have except Tina Guo cello from Cinesamples and the solo brass in Cinebrass Core / Cinebrass Pro. I really don't like the scripting in most solo stuff I have, or find them dated sounding. (Cremona, East West, Joshua Bell, Orchestral Tools, stuff, etc.) Maybe Audio Imperia Solo, but there's solo stuff in the other AI libraries I just bought, and more in Musio, so probably unnecessary....for now. **Abandoned purchases that were on the list: Project Sam: Pandora KeepForest: Devastator Bundle Various boutique experimental libraries: Sonic Coutour, Ben Osterhouse, Silence + Other Sounds, Sound Dust, etc. Last year I focused on experimental stuff, this year wanted some mainstream generic stuff. Soundiron: Mimi Page Zero-G: Ethera Gold (3.0): still deciding on this. Orchestral Tools: Salu, Modus, and some of the Fabrik / misc. libraries. No sale, no buy. Maybe they'll do a proper sale at Christmas. Spitfire Audio: Albion complete. I own most, was considering getting Neo and Solstice individually, but only want a few patches from each so not worth it. Liquid Sonics: Was thinking of picking up another one of their reverbs. I still might. No plugins this year except one that was dirt cheap! It's a miracle. Really had self control this year. But the year ain't over. Edited November 25, 2023 by Carl Ewing 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 For this BF, I first sold a few PA F29 codes, which gave me some money to use on other plugins Melda MComplete Bundle (I added a few individual plugins and then simply wow! for upgrade prices) Zynaptiq Unfilter Chickensys Translator Xils LX122 Premium De-esser WA Production Loop Engine 2 Upgrade Instacomposer 2 upgrade United Plugins QuickMuse Magix White Sands Beach House Soundpool Quest for Skillz Soundpool Hard Rock Heroes Soundpool Bagpipe by Image Sounds Ghosthack MIDI Construction Kits Volume 4 Roundel Sounds Guitar Massive Bundle Cartel Loops Ultimate Guitar Bundle 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husker Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I bought another hardware synth (I love the hardware), plus another MIO XL midi router (converting all my midi to midi over ethernet). The only other thing I bought was the 2023 From Mars collection. That's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
